Disney Dreamlight Valley has so many different recipes that players can cook within the game, and the list is ever-growing, especially with the new expansions that have been released in the past couple of years, including A Rift In Time and The Storybook Vale, which was just released recently, with another on the way this summer.

Fortnite has a long history spanning numerous chapters and seasons, all of which provide varying themes, mechanics, renditions of the Fortnite Island, and more. Looking back through Fortnite's seasons is nostalgic, to say the least, as the game has changed drastically over the years, bringing about stellar items and additions to the loot pool.

The Assassin's Creed franchise has been around for more than 17 years, captivating millions of players and introducing them to this amazing world full of parkour, excitement, and lots of history. While some titles in the franchise are undoubtedly more immersive than others, sometimes its hard to pinpoint which one offers the best gameplay overall.

Happy day after Thanksgiving! (lol I seem to blog the most the day after holidays)Anyway, a few months ago I uploaded a proc-gen map I had developed as part of a previous project. Well, I decided to dig up a few other old projects of mine and upload those as well: a live demo of some shader work I once blogged about, the UI portion of an old RPG, and the final ga

small3d is a small, cross-platform 3D game development library I have put together and have been maintaining over the past few years. This is a tutorial on creating a ball in Blender, and then writing a C++ program that loads it and moves it around on the screen, using small3d. Alternatively you can skip the ball creation and use a model of your own, if you have one in a glTF .glb file.The source code for this tutorial can be found here:

That's fine, except for a few issues: Those bad boys are pretty expensive for insulated travel tumblers; a lot of the people who want one already have one (or five); and 2.6 million Stanley mugs were recently recalled due to a potential burn hazard. Whether gifting a cup to someone else or broadening your own trendy collection, maybe it's time to start looking elsewhere. Owala FreeSip First up is my favorite tumbler of all time: the Owala FreeSip. I have a green and pink one, but regularly see dazzling color combinations in my travels. These trendy buggers are everywhere and I can't just attribute that belief to some weird Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, since they were everywhere before I even got my hands on one a few months ago. In addition to coming in all kinds of cool color combos, it's just a superior travel cup. It has a push-to-open lid that makes it very difficult to accidentally open or spill. Once open, you have the option of sipping through a spout or using an attached straw. The plastic loop around the lid also doubles as a carrying hook, which is how I've come to notice so many in the wild: People just clip them right on their bags. That makes them more convenient than the Stanley Quencher by a mile. Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle $27.94 at Amazon Shop Now Shop Now $27.94 at Amazon Owala also produces a more direct Stanley Quencher competitor in the form of an insulated tumbler that retails for $30.39 and has a 40-ounce capacity. Contigo West Loop I also like the Contigo West Loop. Contigo made the water bottle I had way back in college (because I could buy one with my Barnes & Noble employee discount). Contigo has withstood the test of time, creating mugs and bottles that feel nice in the hand, keep drinks at your preferred temperature, are easy to drink from, and aren't outrageously expensive. Contigo Autoseal West Loop Stainless Steel Travel Mug $24.99 at Amazon Shop Now Shop Now $24.99 at Amazon HydroFlask Travel Tumbler Next up is the tumbler from HydroFlask, which is also very popular. Personally, I only recently learned that HydroFlask is a brand name itself; my friends and I accidentally committed a bit of a genericide years ago, incorrectly calling any to-go tumbler a "hydroflask." As it turns out, that's a good sign, sincelike when people use "Kleenex" to mean "tissue"it implies brand trustworthiness and dominance. Reviews for real-deal HydroFlasks frequently hover around the 4.7-star mark and are based on thousands of ratings, so the general population agrees that this one keeps drinks the temperature you like them and is easy to tote around. Hydro Flask All Around Travel Tumbler Trillium 40 Oz $33.97 at Amazon $39.95 Save $5.98 Shop Now Shop Now $33.97 at Amazon $39.95 Save $5.98 Brmate Era The Brmate Era tumbler seals completely shut. It's not necessarily cheaper than a Stanley, but you're saving money and time by not destroying the inside of your bag in a freak spill accident. The Brumate Era even seals its straw completely. Yes, you can get little straw covers for the Stanley, but they're more decorative than effective. That's not true here. This is one tumbler that is truly spill-proof Brmate Era 40oz Tumbler $44.99 at Amazon Shop Now Shop Now $44.99 at Amazon Yeti Rambler A Yeti 10-ounce Rambler is just $20. It's Yeti, so you know the insulation is top-tier; plus the lid is vacuum-sealed and the opening to the spout uses a magnet, so you can feel confident it won't spill all over you. Thanks to its size, you also know it'll fit in a cup holder, which is kind of a big deal and something at which Stanley Quenchers historically fail.

Which leaves a lot of us wonderingshould we trust the treadmill, or the watch?The answer to this question is the treadmill. The treadmill will always have a better idea than the watch of what your feet are doing. But I dont blame you for doubting everything you see on a gym machines readout. After all, their calorie counts are notoriously inaccurate.Why the treadmill is more accurate than your watch (for distance)Whenever were evaluating accuracy, its important to know whether a device is measuring something directly, or interpreting data to make a guess. In this case, the treadmill is measuring distance, while the watch is guessing at it. (Calories are always interpreted, which is why they are never truly reliable.)Distance is pretty simple: Its the number of miles (or meters) of treadmill belt that passed under your feet while you ran. The treadmill knows how long its belt is, and how fast the motor is running, so its pretty directly measuring how much belt its sending under your feet.(Sticklers will note that technically there is still some interpretation going on here, since the relationship between the motor's performance and how much belt it moves can change over time, which is why treadmill calibration is a thing. But it's still pretty close, and is your best bet for the purposes we discuss here.)Your watch, by contrast, is on your wrist. Theres no way it can know what your feet are doing. It can make some guesses based on how much your wrist is swinging back and forth, and thus pick up a cadence (each arm swing corresponds to one footstep). Youll swing your arms a bit harder and higher when youre running faster, so it can use the oomph in your arm swing to make a guess at the speed youre running. From there, it estimates the distance.How to get the most accurate numbersNeither is guaranteed to be perfect, but the treadmill is a lot more likely to get the right idea. A treadmill can be slightly miscalibrated, and give you a distance thats a smidge off from what you actually ran. But a watch is just riding on your wrist, guessing. Ive noticed that my arms dont swing all that differently when Im running at a fast versus a slow pace.In fact, while following an interval workout on the treadmill on a Garmin Forerunner 265, Ive found that the watch thinks Im going slower than I am during the fast parts. When it buzzes to chide me (Pace low) I can convince it Im in range by pumping my arms a little harder. This isnt really a solution, though. Garmin Forerunner 265 GPS Smartwatch $449.99 at Best Buy Shop Now Shop Now $449.99 at Best Buy Instead of trying to get more accurate numbers from my watch during the run, I approach my treadmill workouts with the knowledge that the following things are accurate:The treadmill speed during the workoutThe treadmill distance at the end of the workoutThe heart rate from my watch (especially if Im using a chest strap)The time from either or both devices (which should be the same if I started them at the same time)I then follow my workouts appropriately. If its a heart-rate-based workout, I let my watch handle everything. (Garmin might tell me to do 32 minutes at 139 to 167 beats per minute. Perfect. All you, Garmin.)But if I want to do a speed- or distance-based workout, I manage that manually, with my human brain. A quarter mile at 7.5 miles per hour, repeated eight times? I boop the buttons on the treadmill accordingly. At the end of the workout, Ill either calibrate (from the watch) or edit the distance on my app to make sure it recorded the correct total distance.
