Coincidental timing as I just read about this over at The Food Lab as part of my research into "should I buy a sous vide setup now?". The summary is 155º for 24-36hr coating in a rub that includes sodium nitrite (pink curing salt), followed by a quick finish on the barbecue to product some...

Subscribed, and watched four videos on my phone while doing other things: cute kid and Lego builds. I will watch a few more as the video is clearly the highest effort and price paid of any FOH ask that I recall. Well played, gentlemen.

A couple of years ago, I renovated a house in the countryside of northern England for my ex-wife and daughter to live in. I thought I would share a few shots from the downstairs work with you lot. Lounge (Living Room) was shit hole when she moved in so I pulled up the brown carpet, the...

[Non-professional advice incoming, so take it with a grain of salt] Only he can fix his depression and it can't be fixed just by willing it so or wishful thinking: it is a psychological, pathological, and biochemical journey that he alone has to go on on his body's timeline, so... Check in...

I have been through something like this: divorced in 2013 at 36. I don't have all the answers, I haven't found the right one, but I have had three intelligent, pretty, and very cool girlfriend. Here is what I learned; I don't know if it will help. Things I learned: Dating is about "at bats"...

In 2008, I had a financial planner and realised that when I made money, he made money. When I lost money, he made money. When I traded, he made money. His incentive scheme was all wrong for me, so I decided to Hearn to manage my own money without just "gambling" it ask on individual stocks. I...

For what it's worth, I farmed all Savage Deltascape on my samurai/paladin/warrior using PF without ever joining a static or FC. I found the game incredibly casual friendly and fit well with my highly variable random binge routine. YMMV but my reply is "No, not at all. You can play as casually...

Good shout, including catching my phone's spell-correct "help". Ok, for clarity: Allagan Tomestones of Creation are earned from expert dungeons, roulettes, omega regular, omega savage, trials, the new raid, and are capped at 450 per week. In addition to two chests (from a clean weekly run)...

Omega savage mixed with upgraded weekly capped tombstone gear. You can get the upgrade item to fully upgrade the tombstone gear from either omega savage or one weekly from the 24-man raid completion.

Good list. I would add: does NG+ fix the trip wire insta-gib on any Dino? I figured out the lure full stack trip wire thing, realised it broke gameplay, and resolved not to use it, but couldn't help myself and would setup a full stack before engaging the big Dino's, even if I started with the...

The opening 4-min in Spectre is artful stitched to look like one shot (it isn't). It was incredibly well done. And I have watched it again a few times without bothering to watch the whole film. Léa Seydoux is hot, and so is Monica Bellucci (for her age? For any age?). Hmmm, I am sure that...

I really enjoyed the 4.1 story updates, enjoyed the solo encounter, enjoyed the dungeon, enjoyed the raid story arc, and loved the landscape/scenery design of the new raid zone. The raid boss fights were amusing (specifically watching 10-15 die to a tower falling made me giggle). The simplified...

Bard feels much better from 64 when the two dots are extended to 30s which is the same timing that you will use on two of the three songs (you will clip paeon's) and is the same on steady shot, but it gets slightly more annoying at 70 when you stop refreshing steady shot on steadier procs and...

So, in late October, I am moving back from the UK, to SF (and LA next summer). I am looking for a decent high pop NA server to move to, where the economy is alright but not overpriced. I am sort of casual: SAM(228), WAR/PLD(226), BRD (222), WHM(218:emoji_nose: so I use PF mostly and don't have a static...

I thought of another for classic fantasy with a twist and rich IP: Melanie Rawn's sunrunner books, Dragon Prince and Dragon Star trilogies.

Harry Potter, where the low level area is at Hogwarts as a set of mini games and the high level area is a mix of open world and raid bosses, would be a licence to print money. Would love a good steampunk MMO Would love a good ancient Greece, or Rome MMO Would love a good "Cowboys vs Indians"...

I don't imagine it would. My reasoning is that in a well developed game most of the sunk costs are upfront and the operating costs are low (* when you keep maintenance and expansion costs in different costs centres and exclude the expansion team). The finance team will amortise the initial...

Full stack of explosive trip wires + tall grass + lure = one shot kill. I started calling it "playing the batman card". I enjoyed killing them in a fair fight more though, but any time I wasnt in the mood for a ten minute fight, I would go full prep-mode batman and setup an explosive trip wire...

Bran is at Winterfell, so it seems obvious that Sansa and Arya are playing Littlefingers and know the whole story, so I suspect Littlefingers dies at Arya's hand (as the stark family assassin). Based upon the last few episodes, it will play out as Sansa going after Arya until the last minute: it...

‘Game Of Thrones’ Producers Reveal Series Moved Beyond Show’s Written Script Halfway Through Current Season

Inflation is insane in this game and easily exploited by new players: sell the job quest rewards from MSQ quests and you can earn 1-1.2M leveling up to 70. After that, well, I have a well geared WHM and WAR/PLD/DRK job set so I can run leveling roulette whenever I get the urge: those yield 10k...

Leveling content is face roll. Open world mobs are easy. MSQ is mostly fetch with rare solo duties, leveling dungeons, basic primals, and one raid; these are all easy. POTD is designed for any group composition so it is easy once your weapon/armour is leveled. There is no serious sense of danger...

This is overstated. I have a 318 SAM, a 320 RDM that have both done 2/4 savage so far, and a 311 WHM that has healed both primals using a controller. Parses posted in chat put me in the top DPS spot on both a fair amount of the time, so the game is playable to a high level of quality on a...

Each of three level 70 dungeons can be done from duty finder at any time for 80 verity tombstones as many times as you like. Each day you get bonus Gil and bonus tomestones queueing for roulette. You can additionally get a bonus when one person in your random group is completing it for the first...

Another pearl of wisdom: you get bonus XP for leveling your second job for each level that it isn't the highest. You also get faster queues for dungros on track and healer jobs. So if I were doing by it over, I would have leveled my WHM to 70 before SAM, SUM, or RDM to give the dps classes the...

The game rewards you with bonus xp for killing mobs the same level as you. The bonus increases the more you kill in a row in a short interval of time. This applies in groups or solo. This applies in the open world and dungeons. You can see the bonus and the timer on the xp bar and the bonus...

They are all viable so play the one you like best, especially at casual dungeon level. That said, as a healer, I like warriors there last, as they eat my MP bar and because chain casting heals on them when they try to show how baller they are by pulling the zone in one go is not fun.

I find samurai one of these most enjoyable melee classes I have played in a while, more fun than DK, feral, or rogue up to Cata, and definitely more so than dragoon. I find myself happy to wait on the dps queue rather than playing my white mage just so I can play my samurai. The class seems...

Whilst I haven't experienced this much in Stormblood, I can imagine that "lol why aren't you topping the meterz" crap for healers and tanks is common on many servers, just not so much on my EU server. I wonder how much of this is exacerbated by PotD where one grows accustomed to measuring...

Only three? Main story is epic, and then you throw in fates, hunting log for class gear and chocobo barding, side quests, raids, dungeons, chocobo breeding and racing, gambling, housing, gardening, and crafting. It is a lot.

It had been said before, but this bit had an answer:

Really like the level 50-52 play style on samurai, and will like it more once I have the full mobility skills. Skill chains seem more fun than dragoon so samurai might replace dragoon as my alt. My Scholar still hasn't finished 3.x MSQ so no new zones for me for a while. Smooth ish launch...

I saw something on YouTube that made me fire this game back up to mess around with, and now even Lynels are cake.

Finally finished this (100% completion plus armour plus so much time spent endlessly killing/hunting for pleasure). Absolutely amazing game. I loved the story as much or more than witcher series because it felt more... close to our home... They did an extraordinary job of bringing the world to...

Rest in peace, Sir Roger. If you fancy coming back for a visit, feel free to attempt reentry.

There is a whole YouTube list devoted to shrine hacking. This is why freedom in game is so amazing; it creates a while new meta-game around using physics in amazing ways. Other developers need to take note of this. Zelda Breath of the Wild Shrine Skips - YouTube
