would you try to fix a car with leftover parts in your toolbox? would you a frame a house with the random scraps of lumber remaining from your last project?

for some reason cooking is supposed to be wizardry, creating something from nothing while flying by the seat of your pants. in all other crafts, people expect you to plan ahead, choose inputs appropriately, and measure twice / cut once.

i like how we're comparing a 3x a day activity to a 3x a year one and going ballistic that the prep and planning isn't on the same order of magnitude

if you gently caress up a single meal, it's not just a sub-par experience for 20 minutes, it's much more akin to having a persistently drafty house or a car that will literally kill you

really though, if your kitchen isn't ISO 13485 certified with the ability to tell what sous chef picked which piece of lettuce off a particular plate you're kidding yourself

GREETINGS!

Read below for the latest OUYA-DEV-centric news fit to email.

TL;DR - HAPPY NEW YEAR! We’ll review game submissions during the holiday break. Submit to EGW by January 10. Read one dev’s experience developing a #1 UK iOS game. Learn how to grab screenshots of your OUYA game. Spread the word about upcoming game launches with pre-release vouchers. Integrate Community Content into your game. Hang out with us on Twitch and join us for the next Office Hours on January 5, 2015.

HAPPY NEW YEAR HOLIDAY HOURS

We’ll be scaling back our review hours in anticipation of the upcoming holiday season, but we’ll still be testing out your game submissions to DISCOVER. We’ll also be here for customer and dev inquiries, but our response times may be slightly delayed. Happy New Year!

SUBMIT TO EXPERIMENTAL GAMEPLAY WORKSHOP BY JANUARY 10

EGW is back! Since 2002, EGW has showcased and recognized experimental game-design projects. Click here for a direct link to the application.

For rules on submission, click here. You’ll need to submit a playable prototype that meets a “what is experimental” list of requirements. The EGW submissions board are particularly interested in “unexpected, generative, emergent, interactive, innovative and novel” gameplay experiences.

DEV DIARY: A DARK ROOM ON iOS

Amir Rajan published a thorough writeup on his development process for A Dark Room. It reads like a diary (because it kinda is), and it spans the length of his entire project.

From picking a dev environment, to exploring his own creativity, to getting to know the games industry, to hitting #1 on the UK iOS App Store, to examining the sometimes stark reality of budgets, Amir’s blog makes for an enlightening read.

GRAB ANDROID SCREENSHOTS TO YOUR COMPUTER VIA ADB

Android Engineer Sergei Shvetsov published a blogpost that will help you take screenshots of your OUYA game. All you need is your OUYA, a Micro USB cable and your trusty computer.

Read his blog entry here, and scroll to the bottom to find his conclusion — which you can cut/paste into your command line if you have ADB in your path.

Screenshots are great for showing off elements of your game in DETAILS pages on DISCOVER. You can also use screenshots to spread the word about your OUYA game to friends, family, the press, fellow devs or anybody else you can think of.

PREP YOUR OUYA GAME RELEASE WITH PRE-LAUNCH VOUCHERS

Wanna share your OUYA game with the media before you hit the PUBLISH button? Reach out to us at officehours@ouya.tv, and show us what you’ve got! Pre-release codes may be right for your project!

Pre-release codes work similarly to vouchers. Send them to members of the press or even members of your team for some on-console testing.

ENABLE CREATORS WITH “COMMUNITY CONTENT”

Have you looked into Community Content (CC) yet? With CC, you can allow your users to create content in your game and upload it to the OUYA servers. From there, your game can request all of the content and display it for other users to download. We can also feature CC content in DISCOVER.

It's basically a system for user-generated content that we hope to keep growing over the next set of updates.

We're excited to see how devs end up using it. It can be for custom levels, characters, hats, weapons, powerups or even just text! You can enable your users to create and share just about anything.

We’ve included a sample app in the new ODK — so you can see how it works and how to set everything up in your own game. It’s easy!

Here’s a link to the documentation.

If you have any questions, send us an email at officehours@ouya.tv.

WATCH OUYA ON TWITCH

After the holiday, we’ll be back at twitch.tv/playouya on Tuesday, January 6, 2015.

Click the link above and make sure you follow our channel. When we go live, you’ll get a friendly email as soon as we’re on!

DEV SUPPORT OFFICE HOURS

Our next DEV SUPPORT OFFICE HOURS is scheduled for Monday, January 5, 2015 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PST.

We’ll talk about all things OUYA Development — from design to coding to publishing and beyond!

Watch past OFFICE HOURS and other cool stuff on the OUYA YouTube page.

Can’t make it to the live stream? Send us a question and we’ll answer it on the show at officehours@ouya.tv!

it's a sports medicine thing where some scientist found out that pro athletes didn't perform optimally if they were even a tiny bit dehydrated. this spread to lots of people thinking it was healthy to drink water all day every day.

it's actually causing incontinence in young women

some doctor posted:

But there are few simple things women can do to lower risk, including changing two common habits. For one thing, Nygaard says, she sees too many of her patients lugging around one-liter bottles of water. This trend makes it more likely that women will drink too much water, leading to what doctors call urge incontinence, a condition that may exacerbate incontinence due to other causes. "If you are on the verge of having leakage and you are drinking three or four times more water than you need, then you are going to urinate three or four more times than you need to," she says.
