While not quite salty enough, I made same absolute banging chicken alfredo today, and the naan-dough I made has risen impressively

Last week I was told that my dog's trainer said I was the best client she's ever worked with. The man that works at the front desk said he randomly asked her one day who the best client she's worked with was and apparently with zero hesitation she said my name. I'm quite proud of that, because I worked really hard when I had my dog in training to make sure I was doing everything I could to make it, and us, successful. This trainer has worked with thousands of dogs and owners over the years so to have the distinction of being her best client is quite a pleasant surprise. I was determined to turn my crazy excitable COVID puppy into a well behaved dog I could take anywhere, and we succeeded. It was a lot of work, but worth it, and I'm proud of both the results, and the fact that apparently our trainer was impressed too. ☺️

I'm pretty good at Mario Kart. I hadn't played it for about 10 years, but I beat all my friends when I played Mario Kart World for the first time with them recently.

I've gotten very good at cooking by trying around 200-300 recipes from all around the world. Whatever dish you're thinking of, I can probably make it perfectly and tell you it's origin and related dishes. I've made a system of my recipes where they are organized by origin country, allergies, diets, ratings, categories and tons more, and all ingredients are connected to more information and other recipes where they're used. I feel like I'm getting close to solving cooking as a whole by fixing all paper cuts and annoyances involved one by one

I have done exactly 3½ minutes of animation over the course of the past 24 days. It's probably the most I've drawn since I was a little kid, and I've been having a blast with it. I don't want to oversell the quality of the animation — it is very amateurish, there's a lot of limited and reused animation, that's part of the point — but the animation I've done still represents maybe on average 2 or 3 hours of work each night, so about 60 hours of work in total (probably well over 100 hours of work when counting the work that went into the prescoring, opening and end credits, and storyboarding).

I'm hoping to have about 9 minutes of animation done by July 15, but at this rate it's looking more likely that I'll only get about 5 or 6 minutes done, and I'll leave the rest as storyboards. But we'll see.

I can speak in a British accent!

(Happy Birthday Mel Brooks!)

I have very high metacognition and I can tell 5 minutes before my period is about to start. I’ve never had bloody underwear or bloody sheets.

I can whistle from both ends!

I got so good at supreme commander that I could 3vs1 my TeamSpeak friends and whoop them every time. Eventually they wouldn't play with me.

I suck at every other RTS.

Also I'm an incredible lover, for real

Can I brag about my day? My husband and I got into a cycle of fucking, showering, smoking a joint, and (optionally) eating that repeated 6-7 times today. It was an absolutely perfect day off and we even got two loads of laundry done.

It’s super hot where we are (hence the showering), but our apartment is 3/4 underground, so it’s about 10C cooler than outside. Still warm, but not unbearable inside and we needed a way to pass the time, lol.

No.

I can recognise almost 300 汉字 💅 it did take me about 8 months, life keeps getting in my way

also finally, formally medicated, no more self medocating for me!

also congrats to you OP!

When college aged, I modeled for a few art majors' photo projects.

I caused a pizza delivery car to run off the road through the power of my pelvic thrusts. Thankfully they corrected quickly and no one was hurt.

My mental breakdown has their own Facebook page.

I started numerous traditions in my social circles.

I'm reasonably good at taking postcard quality photos with garbage equipment.

I've been on radio, as a PSA to get your bum fingered for prostate cancer. Edited the recording myself too. The cadence of saying "digital rectal exam" is burned into my memory, from listening to the audio so damn much while editing.

I made a Smash Bros Brawl hack that quickly became a local mainstay of gaming get togethers (even outside of my immediate social circle) and persisted after I left the area. Ton of custom stuff layered over Brawl Minus, long before infinite came around.

I've made a number of custom programs for making "glitch art". Algorithms to screw with images. Toss in ~50 of my photos, run them through ~20 different functions that make psuedo-random changes, do ~10 runs per function to get even more results. Then delete the results down to ~10 worth keeping. More fun than it sounds.

I led a small marching group in an international parade on ~20 minutes of training while quite drunk. I directed them while holding a flagpole as an extension of my junk. They shouldn't have let me, and I asked if they wanted a friend with actual marching experience to do it, but they said they wanted me to do it.

I've made multiple 6-10 hour drives, some on little sleep, to be there for friends and family in times of need.

Before I proposed to my wife, I spent a week smashing together existing romhacks of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and getting them to work properly combined by fiddling with the code, then I did a handful of custom modifications myself to the graphics and script. End result is a special version of the game with Zelda and Link swapped, then replaced by my then gf and I, that asked my then gf out on a date when she beat the first dungeon.

She then proceeded to nearly trip over me when I got down on one knee at the end of that date.

For the job that started my career, I was one of three candidates out of 35 who didn't wear a suit to the first round, and I was still hired.

I turned a seasonal internship plugging in computers into a full time sysadmin/engineering position in the span of three and a half years, skipping a few intermediate positions at that workplace.

I have scripted business critical systems integrations at my workplace, that have impact on literally every employee.

I was the first person in my social circle to be able to afford a house, and my wife and I are the first ones who wanted a kid and had one intentionally.

And a "secret": I only have a list this big because I have to remind myself of reasons to be proud of myself. Left to my own devices, I don't tend to think I'm worth much, so every few years I sit down and try to make a little mental list. This is the combination of multiple ones.
