And then Palmer immediately shows up acting like a clown and piloting a mech! Hilarious! Remember when the original game just let you sit there in almost-silence with the wind howling, before the characters just got up and kept keeping on? Modern media can't let you be alone with your thoughts...

For whatever it's worth, search results say to just sprinkle the wood chips directly on the burning charcoal before putting the food on. I'll just do both, put the pouch on the opposite side of the grill and also sprinkle a few wood chips directly on the coals. Problem is, if it ends up being...

Now I have questions about smoking with wood chips. In this video he says 2 or 3 times that this is for a gas grill. Does that actually matter? Can I put a smoke pouch on a normal grill? Also, once 10-15 minutes go by and the pouch is smoking...what then? Add the meat to the grill, while...

Remake is for people who loved the Midgar parts of FF7, Rebirth is for people who loved the non-Midgar parts. I knew a lot of people who didn't like Midgar, but I was always a Midgar guy. I wish Remake had expanded on it more. I think Chapter 3 was the only part that actually showed us more of...

Well liberal British men are usually somewhat feminine and generally worry about what everyone else thinks (i.e. they're really into following the "consensus viewpoints") so of course they get along well with liberal American women who so frequently make the same consensus-based judgments. Both...

Plan for tonight's steak: 1. Let it sit out for an hour to get down to room temperature 2. Put salt on it and let it sit for another hour or so <---I am here 3. Get wood set up in the aluminum foil, get the grill ready 4. Brush truffle oil on the steak, no patting dry 5. Throw it on, smoke it...

Wait, DON'T pat steak dry? Just chicken / pork?

That reminds me, I've got spray-on beef tallow. Had good results with that in the pan, haven't tried it with the grill yet. I could try that instead of truffle oil one of these times. Olive oil has proven unneeded because the "special occasion" truffle oil is noticeably better and I just use it...

Sorry to hear that my dude

I don't go for dessert much anymore because of having to watch weight more than I used to. No ice cream and whatnot. One thing I will go for is rice pudding, those can be really good if done right.

That might be the most horrifying idea I've heard in a long time. The idea that post-death, you could be revived in some sort of stasis with no body and unable to do anything. Or getting hit by a car, waking up in the future as a disembodied head, and being a test subject / component in a...

TLDR: Probably nothing important. I complain about women and yet make little effort to broaden the net and get a better sample size / catch decent ones. I'll need to do that, and possibly lower my standards a bit, before I get any more old. One of these days I'll actually visibly start to show...

A shade over 40, but everyone I meet thinks I'm 30ish. Women in the 25-32 range are my wheelhouse. Any older than that and they usually look a lot older than me, plus all they do is ask me what I do for work / money and if I have a house and all that adult expectations bullshit. 25-32 they tend...

My charcoal and wood collection. Is it redundant to have both the Kingsford regular charcoal and the briquets? Are they more or less the same function? What I generally do is go 50/50 in the starter between the wood lump charcoal and either the briquets or the Kingsford. Given I have less of...

So dry them and then brush on olive oil -before- putting them on the grill? I'll try letting it sit for an hour too. I usually take things out of the fridge and let them sit for an hour already, which has helped a lot. Much easier to cook things rare without scorching the outside when the center...

"Vote correctly or the world will catch on fire" isn't even that different from the Middle Ages status quo of "everyone needs to believe in OUR God or else armageddon will happen" Putting aside climate shifts and all that jazz, what we have here at its root is half the people wanting to be left...

Googling this to find out what Zendaya said that was racist, but literally all that's popping up are articles about how courageous she is for taking a bold stand on social justice issues. Is this what full spectrum astroturfing looks like...

Holy shit. Yeah, 9/11 really was a moment of national unity. It got completely squandered by 2003 with the Iraq bullshit re-dividing people into two camps again, but we had something really important for a bit there that we'll probably never have again. The amount of people wishing death on...

Yarp Also note that almost everybody in the cast are outspoken about their politics, so they've all passed the most important part of Hollywood blockbuster casting. Nolan is like a porn director fucking actresses on his couch, except it's a politics couch and the fucking is metaphorical...

When Dread dropped, people were so gung-ho about it that I thought I was the only person that didn't really like it. The EMMI sections sucked, the final boss took me like 15 tries, and all the lategame bosses would take off like two energy tanks every time they bumped you. Basically it became...

That was Hironobu Sakaguchi, I thought? And he isn't involved with this. Well, I'm somewhat optimistic. The endings of the first two were ridiculously bad though. If they're going to make a big thing out of reviving Aerith, then they should have made her death clearer in Part 2 instead of the...

Too bad I'm not around Dallas, would love to meet the one who says men don't approach her at all. It's hard for me to tell who is available or not in this age group and I assume most of the women I meet this age are taken/married. So I only ask out the 27-30 crowd and it's a narrow band that...

Things I'd like to see in upcoming Metroid games: -Almost no dialogue. Dialogue with a navigation computer in hub rooms (ala Fusion or Dread) is fine, but there should be absolutely no fucking pop-up dialogue while you're out exploring like what Prime 4 did. -Crocomire's Skeleton should be a...

We don't have a generalized Metroid series thread, and it's necessary at this point with all of the likely upcoming games the series will get. Things that are all but confirmed: 2D -Super Metroid Remake -Metroid Fusion Remake -Metroid Dread 2 3D -Metroid Prime 5 Also extremely likely is...

Has there ever actually been a game whose protagonist was a black woman in a wheelchair? Or like a trans in general? Or a lesbian black woman? I always hear one of those three brought up when people are talking about something being changed for modern audiences but I don't think any of those...

I really liked FF7 Rebirth at first - it's everything I wanted Remake to be, from an actual re-creation of FF7's world perspective - and a pretty solid game on its own too. But, man, they just killed it with the whole Aerith thing at the end. It was so ungodly stupid. Not sure why both FF7...

No thread for this yet so here's one. New Fromsoft game, likely release date October (not June like most people expect). Similar aesthetic to Bloodborne, may be a spiritual successor of sorts. Switch 2 only which will upset everybody. Looks good otherwise, is a system seller like it or not...

This has a PS5 port, I think it might be remastered/HD. Edit: Just went and got it (it's quite cheap). It isn't a remaster. Well, it might be some sort of slight-remaster. The character models are in this sort of half-HD, everything else is in 2000 PS1 pre render. The "half-HD" effect might...

I had a nice little supermarket encounter earlier with a very pretty Latina (she looked like Nina Drama, if you know who that is). She accidentally ran into me in an aisle, apologized, and gave me a beautiful smile that we lingered on for a second. A few minutes later I saw her again and went...

I guess you took me off ignore, that's cool. I'm 5'10'' or so, taller with shoes on, and taller than the majority of the guys that I know. Also, it's less about comparison, because I'm usually the "girl magic" friend who other guys look at and and go "how do you do it". Aside from one...

I don't even go out on dates anymore, because quite frankly almost every woman I even spend any real time talking with proceeds to find a way to completely turn me off. Like I started to really hit it off with a woman in my complex last year, a cute one, only to quickly discover she's batshit...

The whole thing seems like a controlled demolition, like they're screwing people over as much as humanly possible with bad policies and out of control capitalism, just to get as much money and power as possible before it all collapses and ushers in the new thing where they have even more power...

So I found that mixing these two things together results in a ridiculously amazing coating for a steak. I added some onto a dry, well-done steak that I bungled, and it full-on saved the steak and turned it into something very tasty. Safe to say this Truff stuff is even better than olive oil for...

Yeah, look, I'm not a body cam connoisseur. I don't know what's old or new or what if something pops up and I haven't seen it before. The Asmon / Dentist lady one is old but I noted that. It's just worth revisiting because it's so good. Just an increasing series of insane whack-a-doodle...

My computer is basically out of hard drive space and I'm not sure why. I've been consolidating a lot of old files from previous computers, which took up a lot of my hard drive space, but a lot more space disappeared than what I'm using. Once I got below 30 GB I stopped putting anything on this...

As in, just calling the game Zelda? Or having Zelda be the protagonist? Or both? I'd be down for a game with Zelda as the protag. Echoes of Wisdom doesn't really count and CD-I Zelda's Adventure or whatever sure as hell doesn't count. Zelda was pretty hot in her last 3 iterations (Twilight...

I'm barely ever in the position to meet new people. Very few opportunities. Most of my longtime friends moved away in the past five years, nobody wants to live in this state I guess. I've got like two people left I hang out with, both dudes. Though in the past month I started grilling outside in...

This is why I have never had a place with any sort of detachable shower head. I don't need more competition.

If I needed another reason to not like Nintendo, the Switch 2 power plug is this big stupid box. All my other modern devices have normal plugs, but not them! Here it is taking up two spaces, just barely, just enough to fucking piss me off! Luckily, I don't need any more spaces there, because I...

LED lights are terrific. I got a bunch of these strips that light up in various colors a while back, still figuring out how to apply them. Maybe one behind the TV that glows faint blue, a couple up high on the bedroom walls that turn the room reddish. I saw a fellow Tesla owner who had an LED...
