    The Callisto Protocol (Survival Horror)

    I don't think there's a thread for this, but looks pretty cool. I guess it's a PS5 exclusive, but hopefully it'll get ported the PC at some point. Could really go for a decent Dead Space style game. Guess it has pretty strong Resident Evil vibes too.

    Not my greatest, but everything was still tasty. Haven't cooked ribs in a while and I left them on a little too long. Chicken was delicious. The wife made a blue cheese potato salad, and a nice vinegar forward slaw with daikon and radish to cut through the richness of the barbecue...

    What are you typically paying per pound?

    I haven't shopped at Kroger's since college. I really need to swing by one of the local locations, just to compare prices on things. I think @Brad2770 bought his primals for his aging experiment from Kroger's if I'm not mistaken, and the price didn't seem bad.

    Man that's fucking nuts. Do you have any idea why you can't get wings? Regarding the other stuff, our prices at least in my area have jumped, but the quality hasn't slipped and it's probably due to the fact that it's HEB. They really do a good job of making certain you're happy with what...

    Forgot to ask, what are the wing prices you're seeing? Here in Houston you're limited to two packages of wings, whether fresh or frozen, and they're pushing $10 a pound. The prices have skyrocketed, and the last time I saw something like this was when McDonald's decided to sell hot wings...

    Why do you consult Reddit for anything? FOH is the true way. There's nothing wrong with buying leg quarters, though. That's typically what we always pick up, and it's cheap and a taste infinitely superior to breast meat. I do buy whole chickens when I can get them on sale, and either roast...

    I hear ya. If there's a decent deal I'll typically buy quite a bit. They ran the same deal month or two ago, and I bought six or eight steaks to throw in the freezer. I just culled through the stuff they had packaged and grabbed the best looking ones with the most cap meat. We're...

    HEB had choice ribeyes on sale for 6.77, and spare ribs, St Louis, and baby backs 3 and less. Grabbed six decent looking steaks to throw in the freezer, and a rack of baby and a full spare rib. Going to do the baby backs and chicken legs tomorrow with traditional barbecue sides.

    This. I've been wanting to play through with a couple of different friends, the one time we tried it we just got constantly attacked by dipshits. I think @Phazael had the same experience. It really just detracts from the enjoyment of the game. As soon as the mod comes out, they're four of...

    RIP Ray Liotta dead at age 67

    Damn that sucks. I think No Escape was his best underrated film. I guess I'll have to watch it this evening in his honor.

    I still haven't finished the game, but the guru has been posting videos of boss fights, and they're funny enough to watch. It's a big tournament deal, and I'll be curious to see what boss ends up winning.

    The Batman

    Ejiofor was great in Children of Men, too. He's just a good actor and I understand what you're saying about having nothing to do with his complexion. Some people just fit their role and you never think about it, but the obvious crowbarring of gender and race to check off a box is what gets...

    I just finished watching that, it's definitely one of the funniest episodes they've done in a long time. I think that show has finally broken them in regards to Star Trek. The cuts to Rich with blood dripping down his head while Mike is explaining a stupid plot point was icing on the cake.

    I think Kenji food lab man tested this at one point, and soap won't kill your seasoning as long as you use it appropriately. He said that if you scrub it down hard with a bunch of dawn obviously you're going to fuck it up. But some hot water and a little bit of detergent and a soft sponge is...

    I think I'm quite a bit further along than you are currently, but I feel your pain. I just got to one of the underworld areas ended up losing 180k runes too stupid frog monsters that give you death poison. It seems that the difficulty suddenly jumped much higher than the previous zone, but I...

    So when you move to New game Plus, do you have to get all of the vendor Bell bearings again, or does any of that stuff carry over. I'm assuming it doesn't.

    I know @Phazael has mentioned poking with a shield and spear in the past, as have others. This video popped up. Looks pretty cool, but just kind of a boring play style. I still aren't even close to finishing the game, and haven't played since the end of last week. I might give this a spin...

    Is that the War Heros catacombs, or something like that? Way off in the corner of the beach area? That place is a nightmare. Definitely seems like everything in there hurts way harder than the previous stuff you work through to get there.

    I think that's the exact artist I was thinking of because of the landscape in particularly the church they show at the end of the trailer. I think @Tauntworth hit the nail on the head too with Barlow. I was looking through his art over the past hour and there's definitely very strong...

    I don't really care what journalists say, but I understand what you're saying. Easy mode is if you decide to over level and then use whatever powerful weapons, ashes, tactics to blow an encounter out of the water. You can do whatever you want. You have every right to do so and the capability...

    The bishop of battle! That was such a great movie growing up as a kid. I think I caught it on a midnight local station on a Saturday, or you'd stay up all night to watch a scary movie. I don't remember the name of it but I think it was a tales from the creep show montage.

    So I cleared the topside portion of the capital, and have the Grace point outside of the erd tree. If I go into the boss gate there, does that end the game? I'm still working on volcano world, some of the underground, and haven't even been to snow land. I've been trying to keep away from...

    I know you guys have been talking about other games after Elden Ring. I just saw a trailer for this, but there's not much information about it. Looks like it'll be open world and heavily influenced by a particular artist, can't remember the guy's name, but you'll recognize it if you've seen...

    So how do the endings work? Do you basically unlock different final choices that you can make when beating the game? I've been working through some of the different quests and I didn't know if completing one for say Ranni supersedes a different possible ending automatically.
