My small, trimmed bit of brisket flat turned out interesting. Was a bit dry, but still tender and tasty. Tried a recipe to sous vide at 155 for 36 hours and then reheat on the grill for crust and smokiness. A lot of juice expelled from sous vide, though, and my charcoal grill is small so hard to...

Groom their legume? Assuming everything coming from corporate marketing departments is pedo shit these days.

Yeah, looked into it. The articles are very confusing and making it sound like converting live to ultimate was the fraud and people should be cautious about doing that. The actual happenings though are very strange and as gibberish as the articles. How does that even happen? How do you stack...

I dunno. I really like beans, which means I usually don't like beans. The Bush's Grillin Beans are pretty good, but getting expensive and a tad mushy to me like many canned/flavored beans are. There's a local place that has good mustard bbq beans, but not quite . I like the taste of the ones...

Am doing some brisket (not a whole, just a part). A while back did a pulled pork by charring it on the grill after doing steaks and then doing sous vide for 36 hours to have pulled pork a few days later. It turned out great, with perfect texture and just enough smokiness. Easier than firing up...

So, MS themselves advertised their conversion program and published conversion rates and continued offering Xbox live cards for sale even through their store, but are now suspending people for using MS's own products and programs instead of simply announcing an end date or elimination of the...

Has an extra programmable button. I just got the old one cheap with MS Reward points and works great on my cheapo moto pay-by-minute phone. Very happy with it. Cloud gaming in general has been great so might be worth converting/upgrading to ultimate even without a console.

Does PC gamepass allow cloud gaming? It's been pretty good. No issues* playing the TMNT game on my phone using the Razer Kishi (new version coming out so they're cheap right now). Also have a $15 contraption that mounts tldirectly to a controller. There are relatively cheap options to access...

Not really. Magic golem may have been created in the nearby magic town. Don't forget to like and hit that subscribe button!

Remember when Kevin Durant left the Warriors because he wanted to win on a team of his own. Really did a lot to cement Curry's legacy that's looking pretty good right now.

Landscaping fabric tends to kill and starve the soil in my experience. Which kills weeds, but I haven't liked it except under rocks or decorative mulch. Spent a lot of time pulling that crap up from the previous owners because there were still weeds on top of it and the actual plants with holes...

Was gonna build some raised garden beds, but just too expensive. Basil and red/ripe jalapenos are all I really miss. Bell peppers too, but only because they're weirdly expensive. Have some random stuff coming up like taragon, raspberries along the edge of the front yard, chives. I used to make...

Inland northwest. Close to enough ranching so beef prices have gone up slower? And not saying they haven't gone up, just slower. And not much difference in supply even through Covid except steaks sold whole in bag or whatever they call it to cut rarely seem sold anymore. Two years ago got...

Cheap? Around here they're usually double in price to the cuts of meat they're from because they're never on sale. Can't be that expensive to rough cut the stuff. And "fajita" meat was even more expensive, I guess because it was cut even smaller, but who want tiny bits of fajita meat? All so...

Got some cheap tri-tip "steaks" which just means random hunks, but they were so nicely marbled I almost thought they mislabeled them. Good timing as I got a charcoal grill after years without a grill. Made two mistakes: First, there was a particularly skinny, weird cut of tri-tip that I threw...

Be me trying to explain to my girlfriend's grampa the super HD ultra gold plated HDMI cable he got from Best Buy for $40 isn't actually needed even for his new 4k "speed" tv the guy at Costco said would be way faster than his old tv with his $275 a month cable TV plan. As far as my research...

In my town there Charter, and they suck. Comcast were assholes, but the service was always good last town I lived in with them and cable TV was modern hardware and cloud HD streaming. Charter still uses old hardware, have to pay per box, extra for HD boxes still, streaming is limited and often...

That TMNT game looks like old-school fun.

Not normally a fan of Goldfish crackers and haven't ever used much Old Bay, but damn the Old Bay Goldfish Crackers are amazing. Sometimes things just work perfectly together.

So, it has nothing to do with what I posted, only that I posted at all and it illicited idiotic, off topic responses by other people? If any actual content of my original post was so retarded or out of line it would have been easy to ignore or correct. Instead of this weird shit.

What are you even talking about? And why? It's weird. Notice the trend. Someone posts something boring and on topic. You hyperbole strawman some invented argument so you can argue against them existing in the thread. They like, huh, what are you even talking about and what's that got to do with...

So it's designed to be ezmode? A common observance/complaint even in this thread is the early zones on NG+ are not balanced well and are disappointingly easy. If NG+ is supposed to be really easy and just to play around with curb stomping the early bosses with end game weapons then why the...

Why even post this? Most threads on these forums are full of what many people probably deem to be dumb, banal opinions. Yet for some reason you seem very dedicated to responding to my dumb, banal opinions in the most overblown, exaggerated way possible. Why? What's the point? Almost makes me...

So, I shouldn't have responded to overblown, exaggerating responses just in case it would annoy you and elicit a response from you on a subject you wanted less posts about? You were sick of seeing posts, so perpetuated the posting on the topic you were sick of seeing? Do you believe I will keep...

My complaint? First, my "complaint" was my person opinion and reasoning that NG+ wasn't appealing to me personally once I started reading up on it and learning it wasn't balanced well. The end game already gets too easy and becomes a slog that I feel was just running past content trying get to...

Panda Express hot mustard just isn't hot. Supplemented with a German hot mustard that is actually hot. Egg rolls in German mustard feels weird, but gets the job done. What gives? Just that regular hot Chinese mustard is too hot for normies so they toned it down for their packets? Or maybe I...

Nobody is complaining they don't have infinitely new content. I didn't even come close to implying that. Why make something up so idiotic? Does it even feel good calling someone ridiculous when it's based on such an absurd lie you had to invent?

So, we agree NG+ is usually just devs letting people continue playing with little dev investment, but when I mention NG+ is exactly that in Elden Ring and seems lazier than normal imo due to what you agree is balance issues making it too easy, and you agree we would all want new, unique NG+...

Can use markers to mark them. Hell, if they'd just had a check mark in the marking list then problem solved for most people without an overly complicated or hand holding UI system that every would spazz out over. Quest log would be nice, too, and could be done without the bloat and hand holding...

That's what I was hoping for, but think I'd rather just start fresh, building a new style from the ground up after hearing about NG+ balance being too easy. Would have loved for some mode where you can import limited gear to a level 1 character. I think one of the other Souls games had a mode...

NG+ is just lazy design. They just let you keep playing but kinda sorta tweak the difficulty but not really because a common complaint is it's still too easy? And maybe a few items or achievements you missed or weapons you want a second copy of, but mostly just going boss to boss to get to the...

I was excited for NG+ because mid-late game is when things really started to get good. Build and equipment started to gel. Was finally sometimes even getting good. Late game started to become a slog and just reading up on what to do for NG+ and prep some got boring. Realized I'd have to reroll...

I tried multiple times to use daggers as primary weapons, but couldn't stand it for anything but quick applications of poison and/or rot. Daggers or claws would work strategically (and thematically?) with using a bow. Get in close against larger health pools to dot them, then back to ranged...

I like the whole chickens for the organ meats I boil and give to the dog, then make gravy. And bones and bits to make a stock. Girlfriend likes breast meat if we're doing meat on the plate, still preferring dark meat for curry and the like. I like breast meat slices for cold sandwiches or...

Brisket was $3.99 again around me. Still haven't made any from the last one I butchered (literally butchered, but also the negative connotation being only the second one I've done and it was pretty ragged). Bought 4 more whole chickens, just have to decide if I want to freeze them whole or...

Speaking of mobile ordering... I typically hate new tech trend of doing everything on mobile devices, but mobile ordering was just too convenient not to do it. Paired perfectly with any well run drive thru. Buuut, local Wendy's struggle with their drive thru times, so instead of just getting...

The red, white and dew was my second favorite flavor after Baja Blaster. They basically did the kid mixing with code red, whiteout and the blue shit. Combined is better than any of those individual flavors. The newish raspberry was too sweet and tasted like one of those gaggy canned teas...

In the wok just normal oriental wok stuff. Very high temp gets too much carbon and sticking. Never maintains a good seasoning. If I lower temps it's fine but may as well just use a regular pan at that point. Soaking cast iron is bad, but a normal, non-abrasive wash with dish soap isn't going to...

Potato skins?! I do avocado on a bare pan at high heat to get a base coating, then bacon grease at lower heat to finish and touch up maintenance if I don't have lard. Has worked well enough. Have never gotten my cast iron wok to keep a seasoning, though, so might be doing too high heat in the...

Be patient with it as it will not perform great at first. My smoothed antique pan is virtually nonstick. Newer cast iron with factory seasoning will stick like crazy, including stuff like bacon or meat the other pan is great at. I'd strip it to metal with a scouring pad since most factory...
