Part of my issue with 2 is they seemed to want to turn the game from space RPG to shooter, but didn't exactly know why or how or even what type of shooter. The combat areas (maps basically) are large with a lot of cover and even ways to flank and go around, but for no real reason. At higher...

Penne stuffed like manicotti. Manicotti for Mac and cheese. There are no rules!

The Ascent has some jankiness, but decent story and cool world. Bard's Tale games are fun. Played through the original and was fun old school gaming. The ARPG they call it is one of the genuinely funniest games. Darkest Dungeon is popular (I didn't like it but was nice to try it out for free)...

Playing through now that it's on Game Pass. Remembered so many amazing aspects of ME1 after over a decade. Just a fun, well-written game. And I guess I forgot about so many shit aspects of ME2, like ammo, and flying the mini spaceship around and Miranda's muppet face. Insane difficulty is at...

Now back up! Never change, tech overlords.

Oof. Authentication is down, so saying I don't own any digital or game pass games. Digital games are so convenient, what could go wrong!

Partially. Can't load lists, but some individual game cards load. Weird things not working.

Yeah, parts. Store is closed crashed at least.

I'm with you on that. Been a rough learning curve the past few years. Good news is consoles are easy mode with a lot of aim assists. What genre games are you looking for as standouts? Nice thing is so many games free to just try. Especially with cloud gaming so don't even need to download a...

This is the kind of thing I'm prone to doing for shows on HBO or whatever. But Game Pass is so cheap, especially since the gold conversion still works, that the cheaper/easier option was to just stack 3 years worth. $15 for an occasional month. Vs common deals that ends up about $5 a month. I...

Halo vs CoD DLC.

Or on their PCs with Microsoft Windows.... And now Game Pass?

Yeah, but what about "dessert" "pizza" though?

Learned how calzones were invented. Pizza wouldn't release from the peel so my only option was to fold it over. A calzone is gonna mess up the timing for the next pizza, but desperate times. Shoulda got one of the pizza peels with the fabric conveyor belt as they seem to be more foolproof...

If the expanding reach of the gaming industry makes for better games, then why aren't the games better? The MMORPG example is perhaps the most egregious, but it's not another conversation entirely. It's the model many in the industry are following. It's the model many industries are following...

Is expanding the gaming market in shithole countries with street shitter and bone spitter cultures really going to increase the quality of games? Take MMORPGs for instance. I don't think the games were improved overall with the market expanding into China especially, but not even the...

You would like Cholula while saying forget about authentic. You probably drive a Chevy! Tapatio certainly has less of a vinegar taste. No clue why, but that's one of the reasons I prefer it. Especially when I was younger my tastes buds were too sensitive to be using that vinegar swill.

Site in Spanish, so had to Google translate it. Look at those ingredients. Salsa Huichol must really have a bite to it... Rattlesnake, huh? No problem, will try anything once!

In what way?

They're pretty similar to me, but I grew up on Tapatio and have always preferred it. Partially influenced by all the "real" Mexican dives I enjoyed growing up had Tapatio. Also, all the Americanized Mexican places had Cholula, which I've never liked. It became a way to identify the good...

Mind blown. Never knew taco bell even had a green sauce because I guess I never thought to ask. Googled it, green packets and everything and I swear I've never even seen one. Might have just been invented by the simulation for all I know. Will try some if I ever go to Taco Bell again. Last time...

Think it was this thread discussing hot sauces. Got some black label Valentina extra hot based on the discussion. It's pretty good for cheap hot sauce. Good on eggs and basically everything I like Tapatio for, but I still like Tapatio better (or maybe just brand loyalty). Wondering if anyone...

It seamlessly switches between wheel and controller too. Handy because it's way easier to look around and aim the winch with the controller. Lot of games go screwy switching, but Snow Runner can easily use both. Steering is weird on controller. Needs to snap/migrate back to center faster...

Yeah, it was bad, but if I recall related to chunking and greatly mitigated by waiting until everyone got into the zone to form up. The chunk system really fucked the game. Should have still built the world with natural choke points and zone lines, just incorporated them more cleverly and to...

Same here. Had some group drops and rare crashes and chunking was still a thing, but for the most part the core2duo seemed very compatible with Vanguard and I luckily didn't have many major technical issues. Noob areas at launch were a shit show and slide show, of course. I remember someone at...

Genuinely curious about the genre? Yeah, I get it. In your pathetic world some bitch on a internet forum posts bitch shit and it's everyone's job to assume there may be some hidden, secret questions actually being asked and then take them very seriously. Omg, these games are like du-umb. What...

It's more that I'm sensitive and annoyed by dumb cunts and their simps. The "you type too much" attack. I'm truly slain. Save some of the maidens for the rest of the nerds!

You never asked a question that could be answered in such a way. After your dismissive statement that you didn't see the appeal of these games, your questions were whether they were marketed towards stoners and why people don't go get the actual jobs instead. Even after being called on being a...

Simulating mowing your lawn? I'm not simulating mowing my own yard. I have a big yard that wraps around my house with three large trees and a mix of protected and unprotected landscaping, and a sidewalk dividing sections of my backyard. It's a challenge to mow and was fun/interesting finding the...

Instead of just ignoring a post, you reply that your ignoring it is justified because "we" aren't interested. First, why can't you just have your own opinion without seeking the validation of a presumed collective moral support? Secondly, if something doesn't interest you, then simply move on...

They're the same games as any others, just with different skins. Lawn Mower Simulator is just a puzzle game with some light RPG elements. Pick your equipment, plan your strat, beat a level. Maybe it bores you because it better reveals the futile nature between our reality and how we interact...

Yeah, exactly. Instead of dicking around in lawn mower simulator for a few hours from the couch the logical thing is to quit your job and hire onto a landscaping crew? Or if you like playing a game driving delivery trucks in rural settings why not pursue that as a career! Like playing...

We had low sodium Kikkoman. Meh. Been using regular Kikkoman, but I just got some Lee Kum Kee to taste test. Anyone (or @Lanx) know if there is a big difference by country/region? Or is all similar once better quality? Have had some amazing yakisoba eating out, but just not getting that deep...

My mom had a small seafood cafe. The guy two doors down had a Chinese restaurant. Used to buy the salmon heads and carcasses from her. I was invited to a salmon head stew/curry like thing one time... Thanks for triggering my PTSD! I like catfish is best on a hot grill where the oils can burn...

I don't know what temp people normally do roast/baked/grilled chicken, but chicken sorta grosses me out so I cook it to 165 and rarely have it turn out dry. Last sous vide breast I did was almost unnerving how juicy and pinkish it still was. Had to remind myself it was scientifically safe. Was...

Not sure what tools are available, but sous vide makes it easy to get variable pieces of meat to the same temp. Similar idea behind slow cooking or braising where it's all only ever going to get so hot, so harder to overcook and dry pieces out like in an oven. Can do curry, chilli, stew type of...

Avoided buying Mass Effect Legendary or playing the originals assuming it was going on Game Pass eventually. Not sure if smart or just a cheapskate, but I feel vindicated.

This new patch the next gen upgrade, or will it even matter?
