    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I never said there was no difference, I said nothing cooked on a gas grill tastes better than cooking it on a stovetop. QuickEdit: I should probably qualify that with "when using retail equipment," as I'm sure the pros have some special high dollar grills they use.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I've done reverse sear, butter baste sear, and sear into oven finish but usually just do the latter for ease. All of which produced a better maillard reaction crust than any steak I have ever grilled, which lend more flavor than the drippings getting burnt back onto the steak from an open flame...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I generally don't cook asian food, but I use 10" or 12" cast iron skillets to cook hamburgers, sausage, or steaks. Smoking up the house with steak smell is half the fun and the meat to cheese to vegetable to bun ratio of a smash burger type is far superior to some thick hand pressed patty...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I cooked on gas grills for most of my life. I eventually realized there is nothing that's cooked on a gas grill that tastes better than cooking it on a stovetop/griddle. So fuck spending $1000+ on some fancy built-in grill in some fancy outdoor kitchen. A smoker, on the other hand, is where...

    Everquest Legends

    And of course Bristlebane is pronounced "assling faggot." Also, when there was no voice coms, it hardly matters how any of it was pronounced. I don't think I have ever said any EQ fantasy name out loud, but in my head, Luclin was defiantly pronounced loose-lin when I quick read it on the box...

    Xenonauts - Legit remake of the original XCom

    Xenonauts 2 was released from early access a few weeks ago. If you liked the first game, you should like this one. It's still a small indie game, which means it has some rough edges but all in all, a good Xcom-like (originals, not 2012). The main feature I would have liked is the ability to lay...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    I am a bit unclear on names, but I think I explored "Blockburrow" a handful of time, if it's the Gnoll underground area fairly close to Ozgul. The groups I saw in the higher level deep parts looked like all of them had some form of CC. I think they were bards mostly, but I wasn't counting...

    Adrullan Online (Formerly Evercraft)

    Was surprised chanter was lowest as well, but not sure how charm works out in this game, so maybe that's it. I started a druid this test but didn't get much time on it. I've played Shaman and Ranger to ~ level 10, but also Beast and War-Wiz to ~6; all of them felt pretty good. Melee shaman was...

    The Astronomy Thread

    5.2 is about as bright as Uranus, which is brighter than the predicted magnitude of 8.84. Don't see how it could cause any issue for Earth: https://theskylive.com/c2025r3-info

    The Video Thread

    Modern football is far worse. I'd rather watch an inning of dudes just standing around than 5 minutes of commercials, 1 minute of play, then 5 more minutes of commercials. Hell, I'd rather watch Women's soccer than commercials disguised as a sport, but most Olympic sports are also more...
