    Draw @McQueen ! Hehe, this is honestly a pretty unexpected review that they're doing. Only reason I saw it pop up was because I was playing an old best of the worst episode in the background while I was making dinner.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I beat the twin gargoyles with the star beast jaw. I think the gravity magic seems to stagger or do more damage than them because there stone maybe.. They're a pain in the ass though if they're both out of the same time, but once I switched to that weapon it wasn't too bad. I can burn the...

    Yeah, no kidding. Flank and Skirt is typically around 10 per lb, which is nuts for what's supposed to be a cheap cut. I love both of them, but the days of finding them for sub $5 are long gone at least where I live.

    Check out some Django Reinhardt. Wife and I listen to his stuff all the time when making dinner or walking the dogs. Perfect background music, and it's always nice and upbeat. John Coltrane is always great, too. I've been listening to a lot of big band and swing stuff when I'm out fishing...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    We played multiple campaigns of MERP back in college. Campaigns were set after the war of the ring. That system is just nice and elegant, and an open-ended crit roll where you end up decapitating something was just a lot of fun. But then somebody would do a party encounter roll, and open...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It just would be so handy to have a point of interest crossed out or checked off if you killed the goddamn boss. Don't get me wrong I love the game, and I don't even know how many hours I have racked up on it, but it's more than any other game I played in easily a decade, but it would be a very...

    The Diablo series with nightmare and hell mode, where you get better loot drops and difficulty scaling comes to mind. I know there's not new content per se, but there was progression, and The promise of greater rewards for greater risk or difficulty. I realize there's not a lot of randomized...

    I haven't sat down to play the game and maybe 3 weeks, just busy with crap, and it's definitely not a pickup and put down friendly game. I keep wanting to, but at this point I don't remember where I was with the quest lines and what points of interest I was trying to go after. I've been...

    That's pretty awesome. He's honestly one of my favorite chefs. Just encyclopedic when it comes to Italian cuisine. I used to watch Malto Mario all the time, and was great because there wasn't an audience, but just him sitting there cooking for a few people and explaining the cuisine. You...

    It looks like one of those old pre Pyrex style dishes. I don't know what material it is, but my grandmother used to have a bunch. They just get a patina like anything else. I don't know I'd leave all the stuff cuz it gives it character. Gives you an idea of how many wonderful meals were...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...
