    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I almost feel cheated by the shitty itemization and might make another dagger melee rogue. Level 100 and I'm killing shit just fine but looking at my gear there's not a single slot I feel is done or that I'm a that happy with. Season 4 seems to fix a lot of annoying things, though. Feels like...

    I find most regular casserole dishes too shallow for just about everything the way I make stuff, so have been thinking of going the route of roasting pans with higher walls that can be used as casserole or lasagna pans. Have thought to just do several smaller lasagnas in bread loaf pans, too...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    There's a fun game under all the annoying and pointless shit. I've never played a game with more "just let me actually play" moments. And it's the sad but expected practice of them updating the game well after launch with very obvious stuff that should have been in the basic design philosophy...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Except most mayo is soy oil now, sadly, so defeats the alternatives to soy notion. You're technically right, though, that mayo works well, since it's oil and eggs which are normal cake ingredients. To the down votes:

    I was gonna try some but some reviews complained the paint/dye was discoloring plants and the ground and stuff. WTF. Painted wood scraps for landscaping. Confused why this exists, but clearly not my style. I've just been cultivating some succulent (I think) style ground cover that was in the...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Eventually we'll just need robots that deliver by re-warming and assembling fast food on site. Sadly, that usually wouldn't affect quality like the post assembly cooling does. Like the old fashioned ice cream truck. Ooooh, the Taco Bell bot is in the neighborhood, let's get bug protein burritos...

    Grew up poor, but various fondue was a cheap and easy way to keep us kids fed and entertained. Did it often enough I thought it was poor people food. Who knew we was actually quite fancy. Shit now I need to get a fondue and/or hot pot setup going.

    Yeah, I get the social aspects. At that point just buy whatever because it's not a good cooking reason. Why I mention fondue and was only half joking about just firing a skewer over a Sterno can. Has an Asian sister in law for a while. Hot pot was fun. I'm not against social eating. Hell, use...

    Nonstick electric grills and griddles are for lazy old people with no taste and idiot gen-xers tricked into not having kids. Only reason to get a thing like that is if you physically can't use a stove or oven or outdoor grill anymore, maybe. Think: 600 pounders who can't stand in front of their...

    Yeah, I'm on board with a bit of fire. But then having a gas burner inside with concerns the grill is smokeless is ironic. Just have even average ventilation. Then again in some cities even opening a window isn't a smokeless experience. Electric and nonstick makes no sense outside of keeping...

    Ooooh, that kind of grill. But what's the point? Sitting around cooking like you're still around a camp fire? Making it into a social event? I get the outdoor actual fire grills, but some indoor electric grill. All down side and no benefit. May as well just do meat on a stick over a Sterno can...

    You're not wanting nonstick going forward, or wanting a new nonstick just not chipped up? As far as I've seen, they're all terrible. If they get hot enough to work, then I wouldn't feel okay with the nonstick coating at those temps if that's a concern. Most things you'd cook are just as good...

    I have some feedback. NOT a tweaked Windows OS. Nvidia's hand held streaming controller thing was awesome (if not a bit clunky) and tablets were good ideas. Wish they'd just kept developing them in various forms. A tablet that could be used as a stream box at home with controller...

    Not sure why you guys are raggin on Lebron. He's already won the in-sesson championship. Gonna diss the greatest ever because he only won a single championship in a year? MJ and Bird never even came close to winning two in a year, and at least LeBron won one and is competing for a second...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Diablo 4 takes a long time to get through all the mediocre bullshit to finally start getting to be decent at higher levels and tier 4 where it feels like the real game starts and you're actually building your character. Diablo games have always had varying slogs to get to the end game, but D4...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Is it the same format as Fallen Order? I couldn't get into it. Combat was okay, but the first couple small maps that were sort of linear mazes just wasn't interesting. Felt on rails, but not straightforward or interesting enough to not just be annoying.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    My favorite things about the game are all the inexplicable annoyances. Like you're doing whispers stuff, are at 7/10, but as you're fighting the herald guy for 5 you finish a kill quest for 3. This puts you at 10/10 and don't get credit for the 5. If you get 5 at 7/10 it lets you go to 12/10...

    Sprinkler season. Which means half the impact sprinklers that came with the house will be blasting the wrong way into the street or fences. Was told I just need to replace the impact sprinklers every 5 years or so because the parts wear out. The parts that pop off easily? Great, where do I buy...

    Ehhhh, I mean sure, if they made dye-free products a lot of people would buy them, but most wouldn't care. The people are... retarded. Marketing toward kids? More like certain demographics... food dyes are the spinner rims of processed foods. And they would still be getting cancer at higher...

    A longish handle, rounded wok spatula will be useful. Gotta flip and move the food, not the wok when it's cast iron. I've used a rounded silicone spatula and it worked okay, but gets hot and doesn't scrape clean very well. Long stainless steel spoon worked better but felt slightly dumb. Wok...

    They were all woke though, bragging about hiring game developers from underserved and overlooked communities. So the discussion was, sure, the guy blamed an internal leak, but was it really because they went woke and hired based on demographics as they claimed was their goal? And the founder...

    That's why I call out the "can't prove it was the sole reason a company failed" argument. It's existance at all is a contributing factor, from there it's only a discussion of how much fault. And it's why DEI with government funding, subsidies and perhaps big enough corporate entities in tech...

    It's an increasing thing.

    Horrific malady? Why can't you make arguements that aren't hyperbolic and exaggerated in scope and language?

    Sure, just because a company fails with DEI doesn't mean it failed because of it. But is DEI saving any companies? Is it actually making s single company or product better? I would say no, but I'm open to arguements. If you assume the premise DEI isn't helping any company or product, then...
