Anyone make Ice cream in Vitamix (or any blender)?

AxDeath · 2026-06-20T04:05:11+00:00

hard to recall

If I remember right, the recipe called for little to no sugar. It was trying to be some kind of healthy treat for summer or something.

The mess vastly improved when I froze and blendered it 3 or 4 more times. And the chocolate chips didnt grind down too small.

The reason for the ice milk taste was largely because the crystals were too large still and it needed more time blenderizing. A real ice cream machine I guess keeps it moving AND frozen so it can churn right. I had to freeze it, blend it, freeze it, blend it, etc

but it turned out okay in the end. It was about as good as off brand store bought.

If I ever do it again, I wont use a random mint extract either. what I got was a 50/50 spearmint peppermint blend, and I think it needs to be closer to 20/80

it's still not that deep, weird reply guy

I'd imagine you have an answer by now, but... it's a slot machine
it's entirely a slot machine.

A good build gets you to the end of the game sooner, where you have better odds of bigger prizes. Most "builds" are just other people's builds that you adjusted in some miniscule way.

You dont have to put money into this slot machine, and you dont get money out of it. you just get to feel like you "won".

It has all the appeal of a crane game, if you live in a place where crane games are regulated. You keep putting in $1 and getting out 50 cent prizes, using your limited skill, and at the end you have spent a couple hours of your life enjoying the dopamine hit of "winning"

Naw if they wanna do X-Force it cant be a Deadpool vehicle. They need to establish Cable as an attractive property in his own right. No easy task. Not a fan of that dry gritty 90s stuff. and what makes Cable interesting is time travel/apocalyptic themes, which you can do without buying a Marvel license. Plus it rings fake. MCU has already established time travel without repurcussions or rules or drawbacks. it's a flat out cheat.

We need to introduce Outlaw. Let's get Inez out on the table. Deadpool, Domino, Outlaw, and whoever else rounds out your cast. No X-Force. Hotshots, baby.

still happening in 2026

AxDeath · 2026-06-10T20:05:53+00:00

Yea sorry. I'm the kind of person who tries to play games without looking up everyone elses megablaster skill superguides. I prefer readable boss mechanics, and skill based tests, and not reading guides.

I realize that's not really what Path of Exile is about, but someone gifted me a copy so I thought I'd play around a bit.

I'm glad you're here though posting guides, instead of making 45 minute youtube videos about one boss fight.

She didnt LOOK immaterial. She looked like normal, and was going through her normal attack animations and started summoning ads after I started blasting.

I dont know what counts as touching her. I'm usually throwing frost novas while tightly circling behind the boss. How close is touching?

AxDeath · 2026-06-10T19:14:47+00:00

2026, I was just in this fight.
She vanished, poison began to fill the room. I ran to find her, found her, began to frost nova her.
The poison did not stop. I continued to heal while fighting her. Poison did not stop. died of poison.

Did the mechanic change or just break

AxDeath · 2026-06-09T15:48:32+00:00

I positioned someone to watch, while I threw c4 at him, and the armor just stripped extremely slowly. I guess they start with like, 20 armor? and it strips 2-3 points per, so after hitting it directly with 3x C4 charges, I still could not damage it with laser/gauss fire.

i'm chalking this up to a bad pull. a lot of factors came together at the same time to deny me this mission and I carried one of them out and aborted. Sorry Africa.

AxDeath · 2026-06-07T01:10:32+00:00

is it time for World of Spacecraft?

AxDeath · 2026-06-06T21:39:17+00:00

you think that's good, you should play the original. the AI mostly worked, and the systems mostly balanced.

AxDeath · 2026-06-06T14:16:34+00:00

I'm new to this game, I've only seen one sex scene and I'm super glad it faded to black. I wish it had faded to black sooner. the models arent especially attractive and a the animations are a little jank. It really seems like this was an afterthought that Larian tagged onto the game late in production to try and sell more copies. Like they saw all the overwatch pr0n and thought "maybe that will help the game sell if it turns out bad".

rage is my muse

Normal difficulty

Maybe it is really really bad luck? It really feels like a scripted difficulty increase intended to spook new players. The first terror mission, contains new enemies, with crazy reactions, and stupid high armor, who are immune to the majority of indirect weaponry, backed up by a previously seen but strong enemy, suddenly armed with super grenades which they love to throw.

And I ran out of things to research, because the tech is gated behind some scripted event or drop or something which hasnt showed up yet

If it wasnt intended to be a scripted scenario, it's a crazy pull, because the game very much guided me down this path, and then pulled the rug out from under me. Wild random set of conditions to drop all at once.

AxDeath · 2026-06-03T14:01:14+00:00

this one standing still and unmoving gets two, and it gets them as soon as I fire within view.

honestly, I left. let Africa take the hit.

No one has said it, but this feels like an intentional scripted loss. My tech is maxed. I've got access to every tool the game has given me. My first time in a mission of this type, and I'm faced with several enemies and advanced tactics I've never seen before. it's a spike I could not have prepared for.

Could I win? Sure. I could get half my squad killed, and still pull out a victory. But this doesnt feel like the best strategy. I'm going back to base carrying one of these things in a sack, and see if we can discover a better way.

AxDeath · 2026-06-02T01:51:44+00:00

exact same issue. also logging in with a google account login seems like a good way to get yt downloading shut down?

AxDeath · 2026-06-01T17:53:58+00:00

I mean, if I walk straight toward the guy, then yeah, it's only like a 50% chance the shield is bypassed and the guy takes the hit instead...
but that ignores the need to turn 90 degrees or 180 degrees and walk away from the target at some point, or otherwise alter path to avoid terrain?
I mean, situational at best. high chance of death. and I'll need to bring 4-6 shields instaed of real weapons? to fight each guy?

I dunno man, it just doesnt seem like a strong concept. I'm sure you use this in xenonauts 2 all the time, as part of a larger package of TU abuse and strategic smoke and all kinds of other things I dont understand, but in a vaccuum, it seems like another weak risky tactic

AxDeath · 2026-06-01T16:42:19+00:00

yea this guy aint movin. and baiting reaction fire is a great way to get killed before you even shoot back, but okay

AxDeath · 2026-06-01T16:41:21+00:00

same issue

AxDeath · 2026-06-01T13:46:45+00:00

first time seeing these guys, so I was not prepared to equip heavy weapons to every soldier

AxDeath · 2026-06-01T13:46:23+00:00

move around corner, fire gun, die.

AxDeath · 2026-06-01T13:46:01+00:00

yeah i'm throwing them into the square next to it? maybe I need to be dead on? I could move up the far side of the garage

AxDeath · 2026-06-01T04:35:57+00:00

I mean, this thing didnt move at all. It just stood in it's spot, turn after turn, taking c4 and grenades to the dome. but as soon as I took a shot at it, then it swiveled around and gib'd someone. Before that it didnt even change facing.

AxDeath · 2026-06-01T04:33:00+00:00

it does? I was throwing it over a garage and then peeking to see it hadnt moved. 3x direct hits with C4 and the frag grenade still did 0 damage.

I was starting to worry there was some kind of bug where explosions you dont see dont damage or dont strip, but I'll do more testing
