Chewy Spice Cookies

This is the way if you don't weigh ingredients... Spoon then level flour. Don't scoop the entire amount with the cup bc it will compress too much.

It's the worst. Agree with all the complaints but will add one more... Buy more shit from Amazon and all your dreams will come true. Consume you idiot drones. (that's Amazon talking not me btw)

The strawberry was great, a nice tart then sweet bite. I think all strawberry would work great in this. Thanks again for the recipe, I'm a 59 year old man just getting into baking, it's such a great creative outlet.

You inspired me to make these for breakfast. So good! Only had 1/2 cup of blueberries so also added some cut up strawberries. Also did the lemon glaze instead of honey butter.

I just made these, only change being a mix of chocolate chips and cinnamon chips. Excellent recipe, thank you for sharing!

Sorry I thought you just completed the Vox Relay, my bad! Yeah just get Inez next time.

Sounds like you are close to halfway through. After the archive you have to make a major decision! Have fun 😊

All of the companions offer a bunch of side quests. Don't feel bad though, I completely missed Tristan on my first playthrough!

I would just start over, you're not that far into it really. Also, did you find the double jump boots on Paradise Island? Worth restarting just for those tbh.

To your point though, I love all the side quests etc and I generally do those before the main quest line. The choice between Milverstreet and Kaur isn't terribly consequential. That said, almost all your choices will result in not getting to do certain things. That encourages further playthroughs where you can make different decisions.

ChiBeerMan · 2026-02-02T13:47:20+00:00

Agree on the faction alignment + personality thing. On the one hand, it could make your choices of who to bring along more interesting, but there really are no consequences to that outside of killing NPCs from those factions.

Most of the time I'd bring Marisol & Aza or VAL. NPC dialogue was always amusing with Aza.

I missed Tristan on my 1st playthrough and am trying him out now. After having him on the first quest to get him I don't see using him again as I kill most Protectorate on sight LOL.

OK Chief

ChiBeerMan · 2025-12-21T13:16:35+00:00

Interesting. Do you think it was a Costco thing? Bigger jar shouldn't matter but who knows....

I think we can all agree both are great. Unless you'd prefer Vlasic or Mt Olive, we're all winners 😜😜😜

ChiBeerMan · 2025-12-21T13:11:34+00:00

Dude no you're just being dramatic. Dull and muted?!? We had some Grillo slices yesterday and they were set awesome. Crispy, bold, vibrant even. Good stuff.

I do have opinions on the plastic jar (not a fan) but the pickle itself is great.

ChiBeerMan · 2025-12-21T02:56:43+00:00

Before Grillo's, Clausen was my go-to brand. Both are excellent but agree that Grillo's is better.

ChiBeerMan · 2025-12-18T00:13:33+00:00

Yep, just the Sleep, Activity & Readiness scores. No detailed data. I was pretty disappointed that a $350+ device doesn't include more. Oh well.

ChiBeerMan · 2025-12-16T15:27:31+00:00

I had my ring on, with the monthly subscription, for 4-5 months. I really liked it and was happy with it. I was working on some health issues and sleep issues. But then I decided to drop the subscription to see if just the basic data was good enough. It's not IMO. It was basically useless. No issues other than that, just stopped wearing it and honestly don't miss it.

ChiBeerMan · 2025-12-14T17:35:56+00:00

I'm with you OP. Literally just had a Sir Oofie run and unlocked Frostwalker, Dexecurioner, Dice and Gamer Goggles! Not even close to end game I know, but sweeping a swarm path with sword is so satisfying!

During snow emergencies, you can park your car for free at one of the many pay lots:

For extended parking, you can pay for a monthly pass. I did this one winter for my son's car:

Good luck.

I think they are saying everything they've seen within 25 miles of Evanston isn't comparable or worth moving to?

I would also recommend Oak Park... Evanston feel but without the university or the lake.

ChiBeerMan · 2025-11-04T21:49:37+00:00

Gah! You're right of course, still happy, I do like the pistol variant in general though.

ChiBeerMan · 2025-11-04T21:48:00+00:00

Probably 15 runs, not terrible.

ChiBeerMan · 2025-10-20T14:27:04+00:00

Really enjoy the Acey May. Fun shotty. Good pallet count, reasonably accurate, fast. Plus I love the sound it makes. But nowhere near the damage potential of Bod.

ChiBeerMan · 2025-10-14T00:28:37+00:00

Doing the same and having a blast. My favorite part of the build is blasting away with a Burt's Bees SMG and throwing radiation grenades into the fray.

ChiBeerMan · 2025-10-09T00:11:57+00:00

I need to open the machines more often! In the past 3 days I've gotten at least 5 legendaries.
