It's worth it with a team yeah. Dunno about duo, but a trio all in communication with each other can have a ball with it. Otherwise you're just hoping to get decent randoms every time out. As a duo, I think it'll always give you a third random and that makes the bosses stronger. Dunno if there's...

Not crazy about how they changed the main Euphoria banner ad to replace Sydney's legs with a snake. Her character isn't any sort of diabolical conniving manipulator or anything, she's more of a dumb blonde who gets herself in trouble. Wondering if this is some subliminal underhanded thing...

I've only seen one Sydney sex scene from The Voyeurs and it knocked my fucking socks off. Like Skinemax-quality sex scene. Her riding the guy on the couch could probably turn a gay dude straight. Does she have more sex scenes in that show? How is the other chick? Do they lez out? I guess what...

The thermometer and being able to add charcoal without picking up the grate are both good QOL features, I think it was worth the extra $100. Also the being easier to empty out the ashes with no mess. I usually get the coals glowing red and on fire, then dump them into the grill, spread them...

Except that demographically, black people have less money to go around than anyone except Latinos. If I were looking for a profitable audience, I'd target more numerous groups with more money. Now if we're getting into the weeds of how black people are more likely to make big purchases / go...

That's a cool idea, use the chimney starter for the wood. I could also just run the wood chips through the chimney starter with the coal from the beginning, ya? I'll try it with the $45 metal box and I'll try it with the chimney starter and see which has better results for wood chips. I have a...

I've had a tough time getting wood chips to work in general. I put them directly on the coals and they burst into flames, I put them in a foil pack and they just sit there and sit there and eventually the coals start to go out and they're still sitting there. Looking into it more, the part I...

That makes the bad smoke. Looking for the blue smoke, as per: That helps. I'm gonna try smoking in one of these later today with some wood chips: Also, I'm wondering if it's worth it to get the Premium Weber Original Kettle for $230 over the regular Weber Original Kettle for $130. Looks...

Battlefield 5 only had 3 campaign scenarios (plus the intro) when I played it back at launch. As the guy who plays campaigns in these things, I heard they later added another one, The Last Tiger, where you play as a German tank crew at the end of WW2. So of course I had to go check that out. Not...

This movie was pretty stupid. Some parts felt like a kid wrote them, like when a character died and then just got back up and became a deity and flew away. Johnny was portrayed as a complete joke for most of the movie. Not sure why it was necessary to have Kitana kick the absolute shit out of...

Nobody answered my wood chip questions so I just winged it. Had the foil pouch in there at a high point of about 370 and it never smoked. Eventually the coals were in danger of cooling off, it was taking so goddamn long, so I took it off and just got my steak going. Not sure what I did wrong. I...

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...
