    I bought it, pretty fun so far. Unfortunately doesn't support UW monitors so just black bars :( I guess you need a party?

    Why is there no driving version of MSFS where they use mapping data to make a copy of the real surely and you can do various driving sim games in it?

    The Fast Food Thread

    There's a food truck nearby that does poutine with steak fries fried in beef tallow, thick cut (1/2") bacon cubes, fresh cheese curds and gravy. It was so good I talked to the guy for a bit since most poutine I find pretty mediocre to get the secrets. The beef tallow makes me think back to...

    The problem is, I'm not so sure because the story has a massive impact on people you barely know so it already feels hollow. If it was just a random contest and surprise this is how I'm choosing the new leader at the end then maybe. But you can't have a new continent, new races and lore, a big...

    It's also just dumb things like not having a new Bojza zone, boring weapon quests, etc. I don't want every expac to be the same but you can't take away the only non template content and do... Nothing.

    Does anyone play dragoon anymore? Aesthetically it's always been my favorite class. It seems like they get rid of a lot of annoying gauge nonsense, but still seems like a lot of disconnected abilities.

    I agree with these criticisms. I still think the complete lack of interactivity in the MSQ set off a chain reaction. It's cutscene after cutscene of Wuk talking and being stupid and naive then miraculously everything works out and you move on with no gameplay. It made it even more frustrating.

    Can you turn it on and get into it's built in settings options for the panel?

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    Could be cable. Did you verify you can use another monitor on that port? Also if you have another computer. It's possible its DOA but that seems less likely to me because of Dell's QC. I would suspect the HDMI cable/port/laptop first. Also you sure the monitor is powered on?

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I dunno, everything? Pasta, chicken, ground beef, veggies, eggs, etc. It's just a burner that's more controllable. So like I can do a batch of scrambled eggs at 175 with a lid and they are extremely fluffy, whereas with regular electric burner you basically just get high heat cycles so...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    It's the gold one, goes to 575. But we've tried small pots boiling for a couple hard-boil eggs and it's fine just not crazy stuff like people claiming you can boil water in 30 seconds. It's a bit faster than electric, but seems slower than gas.

    Alright so been using the Nuwave induction burner for a month or so. Overall it's been positive. Temperature control is really really good, and very granular. This makes certain tasks like melting butter, cooking Cacio e Pepe, eggs, etc. super simple. Downsides are that I can't use the one...

    Not that I can recall but I expect bunch of stuff added up on release. Last few expacs you would just be in queue for 3 hours so same difference I guess.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yea I dunno if basically the story was worse so I was just sort of skimming text and clicking through the never ending cutscenes, or if it was actually less full of interactive content. I feel like in past expansions there was more combat interspersed with quests and a lot more duties.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I will say the one move where it was intracity I just did 70% of it over a week (couple runs a night in the car) and then rented a uhaul for just the furniture. Was pretty painless and unfortunately because of that kept way too much shit which meant the next time it was a big mess.

    I found shit like an entire box full of water bottles (95% from sales people), an entire box of conference swag (USB sticks pens pads whatever was in my old office desk), an entire tote full of cables from 90s to 2010s, etc. I am finally pcmcia card free.

    https://moparinsiders.com/spotted-2024-dodge-charger-daytona-scat-pack-first-edition/ I was on the fence about the styling but after seeing this I'm net negative if this is the most sporty launch look. It's just a weird front end thing with a boring exterior otherwise.

    So I finished the MSQs. I absolutely hate Wuk Lamat. Everything about that character grates me. Aside from that, the expac would have been fine if a bit of a repeat of themes and story beats just with a new setting.

    Why does no one make a toilet with an auto measuring displacement system that will measure the weight of your shits? Or maybe they could put the displacement loading lines like on the big ships on the inside of the bowl.
