Stop stealing other people's work you freeloading POS.

I am genuinely shocked that there is a human being on this planet more retarded than Lumi.

Even for them that is just... unbelievable...

Is this a joke? I am genuinely asking.

I've worked on team multiplayer games with matchmaking systems, and it is highly unlikely Riot and other PvP games are using EOMM. Everything he describes is an inherent part of MM systems due to variability, randomness, and psychology. Solo queuing in a team game has decently high variability...

Their assets are likely to be unusable for an actual game as opposed to a barely running tech demo. They might be something you can throw in blender and make nice renders from however.

You might try spatchcocking, I've never done it with duck (legs are so cheap I usually just buy them) but I've had great results with every other bird I've done it with. It will cook much faster and you can put the vegetables right under it to catch all the fat, so it is probably simpler to...

You are somehow making even less sense than usual

Apparently my 6 year old self, who liked making rainbows with the garden hose spray nozzle, was smarter than Lumie. That lowers the threshold, soon he'll demonstrate he knows less than my pets.

I am a Michael Lewis dan so I read the book before seeing this but still really enjoyed it because it is that good. If you want more I recommend reading Flash Boys.

You can make your own in 7-10 days: Making an Incredible Sourdough Starter from Scratch in 7 Easy Steps

It is pretty unlikely that the earthenware makes a difference when it comes to taste, especially for a more quick ferment recipe like kimchi. It may help a little with temperature regulation (more mass), and if unglazed some of the microbes might be harbor in the clay to inoculate new batches...

Just learned that a new Hyrule Warriors comes out in like 2 days, which was a pleasant surprise. I like the direction of using the setting and art style for BoTW, which is a nice twist so that while being mostly more of the same (which isn't a bad thing) it has something extra to it.

Here's what I've gathered happened, just based on what I've read from various parties involved. Sohla applied for a junior job at BA magazine, as a recipe tester, she was overqualified for and got it. About six months in she complained about her low salary and got a 20% raise (50k to 60k)...

That is ironic. You finding cheap generic external bags (that I literally said existed in my first post) that still cost ~4x as much as chamber bags in no way changes my point about doing the math to see if it is worth buying one or not, it just pushes the "worth it" horizon out.

I am not entirely sure how you are missing the point so badly.

The price you gave for the generic roll is comparable to the bags I gave (which I used bags to make the comparison simpler). 100 bags for 20 bucks is still 20 cents per "bag". It is all the same material and you can cut it up however you like.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Suction vac sealers need special bags with channels built into them to pull a vacuum via suction. They make money off the "printer ink" model where they sell that machines pretty cheap but then charge quite a bit for the bags. The bags used for chamber...

Just do the math on the bag prices and you'll get a number for your break even point. If it is a reasonable time frame then go with the more expensive one.

I did something similar, but used tins without windows. Glass is fine if they are in a cabinet, but you don't want your spices exposed to light, so use a dark colored glass if you are going in that direction. I bought the magnets from Buy strong magnets online - supermagnete.de. You can get...

I didn't particularly enjoy those two either, but they were still fundamentally centered around actual game mechanics (Tactical RPG mechanics). PoE was the weaker of the two I would say, which is why PoE2 sold so poorly. W3 has way more cut-scenes, much more running around, and far fewer...

Yes, I started skipping the long, tedious, mediocre (at best) dialogue because I like to play games and not just watch them. Of course, since there is almost nothing to play, that quickly became boring as well. But I must be the stupid one for wanting gameplay in my game

No, for telling a narrative. They are great at telling other kinds of stories in other ways. That you think all stories are narratives isn't helping your case.

It really isn't. Even from the beginning it is fighting an uphill battle since games in general are an extremely poor medium for telling a narrative. W3 is incredibly bloated, full of with uninteresting filler interspersed with even more uninteresting filler (the running around). There are a...

Nah, I just like well constructed games with actual games systems as opposed to ones that are mostly a bunch of long-winded cutscenes composed of boring dialogue.

Yes, I am going to be that guy. Despite the knob polishing that the W3 gets by what seems like everyone, if you enjoy actual games it is mediocre at best. I tried 3 separate times (over at least a year apart) to finish it and failed out of sheer boredom. Between the incredibly long-winded...

Lol

Do you have a flat-bottomed wok or one of those special induction hot-plates designed for them? Induction is really ideal for woks, you get super high heat very quickly without so much wasted energy, and if you can get the coils up the side a little (like those special hot-plates) then you...

I eat quite a bit of lamb (made lamb risotto last night) and I would agree to mostly treat it like beef. Do a long braise for some of the tougher cuts, braised lamb is fantastic. Lamb is great with all sorts of fall veggies, especially cabbage.

Love cookware talk. I've mostly switched over to Carbon steel pans at this point, it is a good middle ground between modern cast iron and stainless steel. It doesn't hold seasoning as well, but it has smoother surface do begin with since it is forged and it much easier to clean/season. I...

I don't begrudge anyone for buying a bread machine, but I think it is too limited for the variety of breads I make. I am very consistent at this point, all it took was some practice. There are a few key factors that really helped me. I measure everything by weight, including liquids. Water...

I've never used vital wheat gluten and I don't know much about it. I imagine it isn't much different than just using a flour with a higher protein content, but honestly have no idea. If you want to use up that gluten free flour then making gnocchi is a good candidate, unlike most breads and...

Let me know how much you like using it and if you think it is worth adding another type to the cupboard :) What you need it depends on what you want to make, but you have what you need to make most things. From there it is just about what you like. I am definitely extreme when it comes to the...

I'm in the same boat as you. I don't begrudge people for what they find as "fun" but NMS is all tedium and no decision-making. Games that make you do lots of repetitive things without having to execute with skill (e.g. a brawler) or make some sort of tactical or strategic decision (e.g. a...

Considering they can't even get something as baseline simple as a fetch quest working properly, the likelihood of even remotely functional "industry" features is non-existent.

I almost killed my pregnant wife and child while I was making pizza. I spilled some flour on the floor in the process of putting it in the oven and when she walked in she slid across the kitchen and nearly wiped out cartoon style, fortunately she managed to catch herself on the counter. I was...

I just wanted to add that this is getting really into the weeds of diminishing returns. Just making fresh pasta with normal flour and eggs is like 90% of making really good pasta. Exactly which type and grind you use, exactly how much regular vs semolina, and so on can change things but it is...

It is a lot like bread, you can mix flours to get slightly different results that suit your tastes better. For example, semolina is harder, has more gluten and is usually coarser. So if you were making an extruded pasta you'd need mostly/all semolina so that the pasta would hold its shape...

You definitely should try it, for fresh pasta not using semolina at least. I've never made pasta without any egg at all, but I used to do the classic 1 egg per 100 grams of flour and when I switched to more yolk and less white (which is mostly water), I think the pasta improved dramatically...
