    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Bone-in chicken and rice casserole is excellent. You can add your personal favorite spices to make it even better. I like to add cayenne pepper and paprika or Italian mix. I thought of a "cheap" from scratch recipe that I cook now: Shakshuka

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Some achievements were fucked on release and you could play w/o having Steam running by starting the game directly with the EXE. I didn't get any achievements for half of my first playthrough because I made my own shortcut, directly to the EXE. Outside of that, of the games I have looked at...

    3 Body Problem

    I don't know anything about this show or book, but since the same author did the Dark Forest, here is a recent Space Time episode going over it:

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    I don't remember making anything creative in ye olden times and now I only eat gourmet or at least everything from scratch. As a kid, for cheap meals we had hamburger helper, tuna casserole, and other stuff like that, which were somewhat easy-ish things for my mom to make after work. I love...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Cowboy Kent had some interesting videos on the chuck wagon, cast iron cookware tricks, and cowboy coffee, but never made any of his recipes. Cooking meals at home is step one for eating on a budget, which, if the fake/gay news is to be believed, seems like way too many people have a problem...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    SOP for Larian. They will probably continue what they have been doing until releasing the Enhanced Edition (with more Chapter 3 content) on the 1 year anniversary and then the only support past that is squashing bugs...

    Is @Screamfeeder the nancyboy that just got fired of this show?!?

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Base model C7/C6 (and maybe the C6 Grand Sport) ride closer to regular sports cars, not just a track car, but with the complete redesign, I'm not sure how the C8 rides. I would assume they would still keep their user base in mind, which, for at least the last 30 years was the base model for...

    Alien: Romulus (2024)

    I just finished the somewhat recently released Aliens: Dark Descent and it was a good single colonial marine squad RTS that managed to keep the aliens a threat throughout the game, even though they didn't have a lot of variety to work with. Atmosphere wise, I felt it stayed true to the first 3...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Well yea, I wouldn't let a Jiffy Lube touch my modern car, let alone a classic or antique. I meant that there should be more highly rated mechanic shops that work on adjacent old imports or just 50+ year old collector cars, in general, that should know the drill with documentation, instead of...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Outside of the usual parts sourcing problems for rare cars, what makes a XK140 so hard to work on? I thought the older the car, the simpler it is. A mechanic that "likes" to work on classic/antique cars should be able to figure out a carbureted inline 6? As a bonus, it looks like you could fit...

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

    Oh, right, I was getting Aspects and Affixes mixed up.

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

    So, they made all the affixes go into the codex of power, which is great, but then they made greater affixes that are better, only come from drops, and use the old system of removing and reapplying them? Ending up with almost the same bullshit we started with... (edit)...or did they make an...

    Fallout

    I guess I saw her in School of Rock, but that movie is so forgettable that outside of Jack Black, I'm not going to remember anyone from it. Other than that and Mado, I have not seen any other live action movie/tv show she has been in.

    Rajaah's CRPG Blog

    I've never been able to get into jrpgs either, but it probably had a lot to do with the lack of having a console between whenever we got a Super Nintendo and I was old enough to buy myself a PS2. Therefor I never built up any nostalgia or interest for the genre. So, looking at the genre as an...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Toy Story 5 is listed on that timeline chart? For the other stuff, like all the other streaming services, they don't want to release streaming numbers for D+, so they don't have any of the TV shows listed? It's probably difficult to put "profit" numbers on streaming in general too?

    Disclaimer: I'm just a dude who has set up a home Unifi system and spent some hours watching videos/reading on it. A lot of people seem to like the mesh systems, but I've never used one. It is an option if you don't want to run any more wires though. If your work computer is a desktop and has...

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I focused on getting the main story done and found DD1 to be an acceptable experience, but once that was done, I have had no desire to play the game again. On the other hand, I found Monster Hunter World so uninteresting that I couldn't make it past the 10 hour mark.

    Home buying thread

    Ice scraper doesn't mean much. I lost my scraper when I moved to Houston and even though I parked my car outside all through college in DFW, I never had the need to buy another one. It still drops below freezing for a week or two a year in North Texas, and I've even seen a half a foot of snow in...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Proper prep is certainly recommended by everyone. At a minimum, if your paint looks mostly ok, you should use a claybar, then evaluate whether you can live with the current chips/imperfections. If you want to go further, then you can start with paint correction using something like Dr...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Ceramic coating is certainly the most difficult to do properly but even the "cheap" ones should last 1 - 2 years. The good ones (done professionally) can last up to 5 years, I think. I've used the ceramic coating from Feynlab, because it was supposed to be one of the easier coats to apply and it...

    Fallout

    I don't remember any same sex relationship in Fallout 1, but you may be thinking of Fallout 2, which Tim Cain had little involvement in. Bethesda might have made Fallout retarded, but, yea, they didn't really increase the gay that much. At least in the parts of the Beth games I saw, before...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    [Vivaldi browser] For some reason, I got logged out of Youtube, and for the past couple days, YouTube would not allow me to log back into it, saying there was an error (wouldn't even pull up the log in window). Disabling UblockO and NoScript did not change anything. Don't know if this is...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Don't remember anything like that, although there might have been a way to put all the white/grey items in the trade window. Vendors have limited gold, that resets when you rest, so you would still need to change what is listed. I think right click sends the item to the trade window though, so...

    Barry Levinson's last good movie was in the 80s with Rainman. I wouldn't expect much.

    I'm still a bit annoyed at the mid season break, but at the least the episode didn't disappoint. (very small spoilers, I guess) The highlight was when Amber As an aside, I watched this on Prime through my browser and didn't see a commercial, so don't know if it's Ublock Origin blocking ads...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Hearing opinions contrary to your own is part of critically thinking about those ideas. Only exposing yourself to ideas you already hold is just mental masturbation to stroke your own ego. Of course there are limits to what one can handle when presented with extremist views to your own, but...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I try to expose myself to views I don't agree with on a weekly basis by watching the discussion sections of Bill Mahar's show (while skipping all the shitty "comedy" bits). Although, I admit, some of the interviews I've had to turn off/skip, like when he was sucking Pelosi's cock way too hard...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    To try to put it nicely, it's such a small thing that I think Tyson's shtick for these comments is more about having something "interesting" to talk about on a TV show that tries to cater to a wide audience (that wont understand/care about anything astrophysics/science related).

    Masters of the Air

    My guess would be that they thought the American Army Air Force in WW2 having the highest casualty rate of any US force in the war while also enjoying the best conditions in their downtime would lead to good story telling. There should be compelling and interesting stories to tell, as the...
