    NBA 2022-23 Season Thread - Wembanyama Tank-A-Thon Is On!

    Considering the circumstances? What circumstances? The one where it's somehow the fault of Sabonis that Draymond stomped on him instead of just trying to pull his leg away and getting a crucial foul call? Or the circumstances the NBA should let players with known issues with anger and violence...

    NBA 2022-23 Season Thread - Wembanyama Tank-A-Thon Is On!

    People arguing that Sabonis was the instigator is a weird take. He was coving up from having again been thrown to the ground and hit on the way down without a foul being called. He's a bit soft and/or an occasional flopper, which is why they're targeting him, but let's not pretend he was just...

    This can definitely happen. Lots of trial and error figuring out what I want to sous vide and how. And like every gadget there are a million ezmode blogs that are full of shit. Reminds me of the people who justify their instant pot by claiming it does everything better, especially meat, but...

    For people who aren't that into cooking and/or cheap, sous vide is the way to go. I've rarely had any issues with pork loin in the oven, but with sous vide it's non-issue. Can't screw up even the leanest and/or cheapest cuts of meat like a pork loin, so it'll pay for itself in no time. And It's...

    For Easter we noped out of family dinner and I made a vaguely Asian noodle dish. Was basically a drunken noodle sauce with yakisoba noodles and no protein because I forgot to take anything out. Was good enough. The fun thing is we were making egg rolls out of leftover pulled pork, but didn't...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Interesting. I'm a judgemental dick about writing and story, but thought these were stronger aspects of the game. Much to my surprise because writing in games is usually really shitty these days (or always was?). I got bored because the game got way too easy and definitely got repetitive. Was...

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

    It's not pay for power. Well, it is, but it's not direct power. Yeah, it's sort of play to win but it doesn't matter because it's a single player game. Okay it's single player, and competitive, but not pvp. Sure, sure, there is pvp but it's optional. That was some quick couple pages on a very...

    Xbox Megathread

    The accessories on the Xbox/MS store dried up. It's weird. I have $800 on two reward accounts that I've been wanting to use on racing wheel pedals and expansion drive, but the store hasn't had many accessories for a long time. What gives? Might just buy another series x and sell it to put money...

    Forza Horizon 5

    How? I usually really like dirt racing and thought it was decent in FH5. Almost enough to reinstall. How did they mess up a whole DLC of it?

    Rational people can see and even discuss specific things they don't like about a product. And it may not even ruin their enjoyment of that product. At this point, you're the one spamming childish shit like a faggot (groomer?). Why do you get triggered when other people don't 100% support...

    Ultimately my complaints are about their decision making abilities, which I find questionable. Keep rationalizing, though. The weird thing is our society is so fucked people have cognitive dissonance over a video game and have to attempt to mitigate their distress by rationalizing hard on...

    There have been several cutscenes where the characters are frozen that I haven't been able to skip. Maybe a console issue? Plus every time you click on any NPC it pulls their string. Plus voiced follower dialog and side quests. Plus the voiced character: I NEED MORE TIME!!! It's not really...

    Interesting bug on Xbox. When shit posting and the Xbox goes darker into inactive mode, it sticks there in game. Happened to me once in a boss fight, too, but thought it was some visual mechanic. Have to go out to the home screen and back in to lighten it back. New TV so maybe something weird...

    To be clear, I'm here because I find it fascinating watching people unable to make rational arguments. For instance, your anecdote about nebulous "people" you know (a lot, even, allegedly) who like a generalized thing... that relies on a misrepresentation of my beliefs or argument... That...

    lol I prefer the old method of being able to skip inane quest text to this over voice acted shit we get now. I'm definitely not going to get on board with a claim the voice acting budget helps justify the high price of what feels like a pretty average and derivative game. Voice acting. lol...

    Clicked through initial settings and the game was in some ching chong language. Had to delete save and restart which meant back in the queue. Rogue has been more fun than OP Necro and melee feels like melee which is nice compared to D3 where melee always sorta felt like close up spells. Getting...

    The setting and graphics are great, writing pretty good and often genuinely funny or interesting, entertaining just running around. But holy shit the game generally feels very outdated and uninspired otherwise. Manual saves that mean you might have to mindlessly loot a bunch of junk again...

    Butter sprayer? Gag. Just buy foil wrapped butter chips. Quick enough to soften in your hands and easily portable to inlaws that eat fake butter oil spread that is disgusting. Yeah, that's right losers, I brought my own butter.

    Libtard sister-in-law is "super excited" for Diablo IV because she's a "huge" Diablo fan. Keep in mind I've never heard her mention any Diablo game ever, or Blizzard game, or ever seen her play anything other than kid games with their kid. Which means the family will be buying 3 copies for the...

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

    Honestly, if you've ever spent money on any unrelated social event you may as well pre-order 3 copies and not complain if the game is mediocre. Bad first dates can cost more than getting early access to open beta for pre-ordering, so no point complaining about the state of Blizzard or the gaming...

    Scott Adams is having his Dilbert comic dropped by syndicators and his publisher has said they won't publish his upcoming book or do any reprints on past books.

    To clarify my too white comment. I use Asian knives and think the design is inferior to just about every European or American design. That seems mighty white of me. Too white to see things any differently, probably. Because I grew up whitely. I have no issues cutting green onions through with...

    Cast iron pans don't have great design for some cooking with high, straight sides that trap in more moisture. Are a few pans with flared (?) sides like stainless steel, but are rare to find. It's apparently controversial as it's started a few arguments, but imo stainless steel is better for...
