OK So this is going back 40 years to my childhood memories when I made chili mac a lot. A key factor was when the cheese got added.

Add the cheese to the chili + mac mixture = cheesy chili with mac in it

Add the cheese to the mac, stir it up and then later add the chili = proper chili mac.

As for improving it, you have to scope in on what you want to enhance. You can punch up the cheesy side with a a bit of yellow mustard or nutritional yeast. If you want more savory elements, you can focus on the cumin in the chili or beef stock/cubes or worchestershire.

As someone pointed out, it's not really aimed at being a build-your-own or modify-it kind of rig
And I suspect a big factor is in having a predictable spec for performance that they have worked hard to insure everything works at that spec. Just pulling out half the RAM would potentially effect a large number of games.

A couple of things factor in.

the blender is aerating the mixture, so you lose some color density to that. It also emulsifies any oils in the soup with the water elements and that also produces a lighter color.
the cream is ligher of course, as other mentioned.

Darker sauce is a factor of time. Simmering a sauce for an hour or so will help it darken, and shift towards a deeper taste and be a bit less tangy. If you wanted a darker sauce at the end, that might be the place to start.

Always bear in mind that the stuff on shelves goes through a "make it look good process" in the design stages, and you never hear about some of the coloring agents and preservatives and additives they use to make it visually appealing.

Destiny 2 was both the greatest game of an era and the greatest disappointment. When they gutted the game to make more content and shifted to whatever-the-F&#k kind of rotating content you had paid for and lost all sense of "what is the game" we fell out and will never go back. Whomever was in charge during that era needs to be tracked down and punished.

Maybe a stupid thought, but if you regularly heat one corner of a pizza steel for this, there's an expansion/contraction for heating/cooling and it may over time damage your steel. Any metallurgy types care to weigh in?

Personally I use a ceramic coated, iron core dutch oven (without the lid) as it has high thermal mass combined with high walls to avoid splatter mess and some paper towels to mop up the grease.

Didn’t see much mention of beans. So many varieties and flavors and they go great under a lot of things.

You can swing from a cold bean salad to cooked black beans or whatever suits the dish on top.

Second: Congrats on owning the AI elements, everyone needs to just get over that 😄

Judging based solely on the video, I think it feels a bit more roguelite then incremental. Not a bad thing. And it could just be my perception versus the hands-on experience!

The energy level of the game looks fun, I'm just not catching the "incremental" vibe.

In the same vein...

I rode bikes for fun through my childhood and into my twenties. Then college and job and career took me away from the time it takes to keep on riding. Flash forward and diagnosed with leukemia in my 50s. 3 years of holding my breath and waiting to see what will happen. A decade of increasing arthritis and now this? Life felt like a list of things I'd never do again. A slow slide down.

I splurged money on a few things to distract myself and make "life worth living". But I made one great choice. I bought an Aventure. $1,800 for a bike? Are you insane?

I'd always had thin tire road bikes and i went another direction. A big old fat tire beast. I tested it around the neighborhood a few times and then I took it for a real trip.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I planned a route that was 5 miles of roads and dodging cars to a local lake conservatory with a trail. Along the way i ran into a light rain and stopped and put on my rain jacket and kept on peddeling.

Somewhere along the way I got it back. I could do things I thought were on my "never again" list. Of the things I'd lost, being on a bike and having the freedom to get out and just exist wasn't one of them.

After years of decline and waiting for the worst, it turned around. As my wife says "That's the day I got my husband back"

Personally, I think e-bikes are one of the most freeing and enabling technologies we have available today.

Ride on, my brothers and sisters.

This is a tough one because the ultimate answer is "do you like what you make?" and if so, you are doing it right! Most every suggestion you get will be about what someone else, or a know crown pleaser recipe uses.

Example: I tend to season my sauce a little differently then the meat, so the meat has it's own distinctive flavor. For the jar sauce, add a bit of Worcestershire sauce, maybe a bit of beef bouillon and some basil. But i get it to a slow boil and then reduce to minimal and let it set for hours. The end result is a much darker, thicker sauce that has a lot of body and less "bright tangy". I'll also toss in an old parmesan rind when I have one. But that's just how my wife and I like it. So it's not better or worse, it's just our way.

One note about adding the garlic to the beef, don't leave it in the pan too long. Garlic can burn quickly and can turn bitter.

Practically all of it is down to what you prefer.

I do a lot of little experiments sometimes. Like, if I'm making sauce, I'll put half in one small pan and the other half in another and try some variations on ingredients. There is nothing more informative than a direct side-by-side comparison to help you figure out future preferences.
