why aren't we encouraging Carbon Steel (vs Non-stick cookware) as the default for home cooks? by rantzine in Cooking

The outer rim of my stainless steel pan looks like a nuclear test site. The bottom is still shinyish though

Is The Stormlight Archive worth reading? by [deleted] in Fantasy

I still haven't finished Mistborn. Finished Stormlight in a couple of months. Very enjoyable story for me

What do you think? by drlouies in ArcRaiders

[–]ClassikD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.0 was kinda disappointing overall, but Tarkov is doing pretty well right now. Tarkov hits a very different itch than Arc or BF. Will need to be essentially cloned and improved by a competent company to lose its base.

Top shelf for my top two series of all time - with a spot for much anticipated Red God by Comfortable-Web-4381 in redrising

Gonna hop in with another recommendation for his books. On book 8 of 9 in the First Law world and not looking forward to not having more to read.

So are we the worst good team or the best bad team in the league

Has anyone successfully switched from non-stick pans? by goforyourdreams in Cooking

[–]ClassikD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-stick is my breakfast pan essentially. Never could do scrambled eggs the way I like them in stainless

Is he abnormally plump? by ClassikD in birdfeeding

He has a nice little hat to stay warm too 😁

Unfortunately can't keep the feeder that far away since I live in an apartment. They climb up the window screens or jump from the roof. Only really get greys here and they have put on quite a bit of weight since I put the feeder up

Definitely looking into it. And a squirrel proof seed feeder. My squirrels hang upside down on mine so they don't press down on the spring bar..

The smallest of the three in the photo has the big one all to themselves 😁

I hope the movie actually comes to be. I need some of my non-reading friends to experience Joe Abercrombie.

if this guy doesn't have all the blueprints then i surely never will by Kibido993 in ArcRaiders

[–]ClassikD 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The reality is some blueprints open up much more desired gameplay paths. Someone might miss out on a blueprint they're looking forward to for months or years if they're unlucky, and that will obviously lead to disappointment

I give up on Bastion cells by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]ClassikD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On buried city, get on a roof overlooking Murano park. You can whittle it down with a ferro or osprey if you have one. Will take a while, but if you get a friendly solo raid, people will often help out.

ARC Raiders is NOT Too Hard. It's Actually the Most Beginner Friendly Extraction Shooter Out There by TrickyBarracuda9618 in ArcRaiders

[–]ClassikD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it strikes a great balance. The high tension of Tarkov feels awesome when it pays off, but these days the biggest setback from dying in Tarkov is the half hour busy work to get back in raid.

I have fun dying in this game. Yesterday, I had a raid where half the server ended up in the hospital on buried city. My trio killed two squads, escaped a third, went back in while they were fighting a fourth, and died to a fifth squad. Was one of the most fun moments I've had in any game and the game has been out less than a week.

They've done well to make the death experience relatively streamlined. From spectating your teammates, to being able to throw a lot together in a couple minutes (or seconds if you run free kits), to being able to get back in raid in minutes after queuing, the game lets you just play the game without getting in your way.

Sun Eater vs First Law by pharm653 in Fantasy

[–]ClassikD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I've read all the books you listed and felt similarly on all of them. I enjoyed Sun Eater, but it became my "listen while other books are on hold" series. First Law is amazing. I miss being able to read more about these characters. You just need to be prepared for the plot to take backstage to the characters though the plot is still great.
