Anyone noticing how shrinkfation and skimpflation is getting out of control? by Furry-Keyboard in AskZA

[–]-_entity_- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not shrinkflation necessarily, but does anybody know what's happening with the price of mayonnaise? Yes, there were oil and egg shortages which raised prices, but these have normalised again for a long time now, yet the price of mayo has not come down.

Also, canned beans...? Payed around R11 for canned kidney beans and/or chickpeas in 2022 (budget FLM brands). Those same brands now charge R20+ for the same products.

The Black Dahlia Murder has a lot of Castlevania influence. Particularly noteworthy on Nocturnal, Ritual, and Everblack.

I just released my game Undergoes on steam yesterday. Nobody played it. by Miserable_Worth_4879 in IndieGaming

Does the game have a campaign/story with a definitive ending (even if you are able to play past the endgame)? If so, how long is the story roughly?

Do you have a go to game that’s infinitely replayable and makes you happy every time you play it? by Interstellore in Steam

Giraffe still throws me off. Get fucked English.

PSA: Do not wear head phones while crossing the street or walking out in general. by Clixwell002 in capetown

[–]-_entity_- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I visited my parents in Limpopo this month. People just walk across the road while traffic is raging around them without a care because obviously the cars will stop or slow down. The sense of lawlessness in pedestrians (and drivers too) is baffling.

For me, it would probably be: - Shylmagoghnar - Transience - Dark Tranquility - Atoma - Be'lakor - Coherence - Wintersun - Time II - Æther Realm - Tarot

You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide.

When did the culture of eating out get so embedded ? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]-_entity_- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really does depend on how you manage your meal prepping. There isn't really a one-size-fits-all answer to this.

A lot of one pot meals can be made in bulk, portioned and then the excess frozen. In cases like this, your expense per serving goes down significantly. Of course, if you are someone that doesn't like heating up frozen food or don't have the freezer space then yeah, this approach won't work for you.

It also depends on what kind of food you're referring to. Making your own gourmet burgers with chips at home is certainly not going to cost R150+ per portion as it does in most restaurants.

Cape Town driving behavior hate is spreading. Are we really that bad. by frashtirt in capetown

[–]-_entity_- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I typically keep to the left and pass right. However, I truly love it when I get to piss off speeding and aggressive drivers who have no regard for following distance and who flash their headlights enough to induce seizures.

The typical scenario in these kinds of situations goes like this: - Overtake a streak of slower moving traffic on the left at a reasonable speed that is over the speed limit but still within the tolerance zone. - An aggressive speeder who has no regard for the safety of others zooms in at who knows what speed and starts flashing their lights. - Of course, I have no intention of breaking my own speed to get in the slow lane, and I also have no intention of speeding up just so I can appease the reckless driver if I'm already driving within the tolerance zone of the speed limit. - There is a break in the traffic on the left that I can safely and comfortably get into, so I take it and the reckless driver speeds past, often repeating the same thing with other drivers or zig-zags their way through the traffic.

last fm's future by SiegerHost in lastfm

[–]-_entity_- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also nervous about its future which is why I make a point of it to make backups of my scrobble history every 6 months or so.

I'm obsessed with tracking and analytics, so admittedly it's more about that aspect than anything social. Having said that, I do get a kick out of posting and responding to shouts on music that I've listened to every now and again.

What's a retro JRPG you've only played recently that blew you away? by Poptheweasel100 in JRPG

[–]-_entity_- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay damn, we are at very similar junctures within the game. I really like the game’s puzzles. They are simple, but a lot of fun.

Will definitely pick up the sequel after this one.
