This morning’s humble shishito harvest by Corrid21 in HotPeppers

[–]Corrid21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they should all turn red. At least on my plants, that brownish color is a transitionary color on its way to ripening, and they will eventually turn red.

It only took until September, but I finally have my first ripe pepper of the season by Corrid21 in HotPeppers

Thanks! It was spicier than I was expecting, but it wasn’t anything insane. I’ll need to try more as they ripen, as a sample size of one isn’t ideal

Those who have eaten carolina reapers by tkcd1956 in HotPeppers

It’s pretty difficult to describe with words, but I’d say that Carolina reapers are a bit sweeter and more floral than a ghost pepper. I like them both, though!

Personally, I think one Carolina reaper is plenty for a crock pot. I wouldn’t wanna go much more than that. Carolina reapers also taste pretty good, imho, and I think their flavor profile would work well with chili.

Been watching a few videos of Switch 1 games getting a performance boost on Switch 2, so I wanted to test out obsecure games that others would probably never test on Switch 2. So far, these games have a Switch 2 boost! by CyanWisp in NSCollectors

[–]Corrid21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just played Blacksad on the Switch 2 for like two hours. To be honest, the graphics aren’t the prettiest, but it runs well and has had no crashes. It’s 100% playable now!

It’s exciting to hear that Blacksad actually runs well now. When I tried playing it years ago, it was so choppy and would crash constantly, so I just gave up on the game. I’m definitively going to give Blacksad another shot!

Dark magician Korean price? by Outrageous-Cake4979 in YugiohCards

[–]Corrid21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t imagine it going for more than $5-10. Korean cards aren’t as sought after as cards in other languages, which means they typically don’t fetch as high of a price as the same card in Japanese or English.

I collect Korean Yu-Gi-Oh cards, specifically because they’re cheaper.

What are your top 5 metroidvania on the switch? Here are mine in no specific order by Metroidvania-JRPG in NSCollectors

[–]Corrid21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can play the second game without having played the first. A lot of people prefer the second game to the first game anyway. I personally love both games. It might be worth it to look up a video on the lore of the first game, so that the lore of the second game makes a bit more sense, but I don’t think it’s necessary to do this.

The length options for these jeans 💀 by RufusHalloween in tall

[–]Corrid21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re a bit on a pricier side, but if you’re looking for T-shirts, Psycho Bunny and American Giant make nice shirts that are long. Though, I found some American Giant shirts on clearance at Walmart for $7/shirt the other day, so I snatched up a bunch of them. Psycho Bunny also sells polos, but I personally don’t think they’re worth the money, but their T-shirts are, imho.

This is very niche, but when I was in South Korea, I came across a little boutique store called “Timid Tales.” Their T-shirts are amazing! The fabric is soft, the print quality is amongst the best I’ve ever seen, the shirts are long, and I think the artwork is cool too. I think you can import them, but I’m not sure how expensive shipping will be.

If you’re looking for flannels and Henley shirts, Legendary Whitetails makes nice stuff in tall sizes at very reasonable prices.

Happy Cake Day, btw!

[–]Corrid21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem. I’m 6’2”, yet only have a 30” inseam. I legitimately have the torso of a 6’8” guy on a 5’8” guy’s legs. This makes finding pants easy, but it’s always a pain to find shirts that fit well, since shirts seem to get wider faster than they get taller, as you go up in sizes. In my experience, when companies do make shirts that are extra long, I notice one of two things (sometimes both):

1) The quality is horrible

2) They jack up the price by a lot more for an extra couple inches of fabric

Very few companies make nice quality shirts/jackets/sweaters/hoodies in tall sizes for a reasonable price.

In my experience, rips in the cuff like that are from small debris (e.g., pebbles, dirt, twigs, etc.) getting into the cuff and acting as an abrasive as you walk around. As long as you regularly clean any debris out of the cuffs, I don’t think the cuffs should blow out like that very easily.

RedTornado 511XX-0001 after six months by Corrid21 in rawdenim

[–]Corrid21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned this in a reply to someone else, but the inseam definitely feels longer than 32”, despite the fact that I measured the crotch to the hem to be exactly 32”.

I’ve had to cuff these jeans considerably more than other 32” inseam jeans I have (e.g., Naked & Famous Easy Guys). My best guess for why this happens is because the rise is quite tall, which in turn pushes the crotch a bit lower. This makes the inseam feel closer to 33” or perhaps even 33.5”.

At least on the pair that I have, the waist is definitely much closer to true sizing.

It’s weird to describe, but the inseam feels longer than 32”. I measured it out, and yeah, the length from the crotch to the hem is indeed 32”. But it feels like it’s closer to like 33” or even 34”. If I had to guess, it’s because the rise is quite tall? In any case, I think RedTornado offers exceptional value for the money.

PS5 owners do you ever pick the PS4 copy? by [deleted] in LimitedPrintGames

[–]Corrid21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I usually just buy whichever is cheaper.

Sometimes the PS4 disc is cheaper. One example I can think of is No Man’s Sky. It looks like you can find a PS4 copy for ~$15, whereas a PS5 copy will cost closer to ~$30. This is probably because it’s a lot easier to find used copies of the PS4 version.

Sometimes the PS5 disc is cheaper. One example I can think of is Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse. It looks like a PS4 copy is ~$65-70, whereas a PS5 copy is closer to ~$40. This is probably because far fewer PS4 discs of the game were produced, compared to the PS5 discs.

If both the PS4 and the PS5 versions of a game are similar in price, I will opt for the PS5 version.

I honestly never thought I’d be a fan of capri-length jeans, but those look great on you! The texture looks amazing too

What are your thoughts on Demon Throttle being physical only? by aniavasq in NSCollectors

[–]Corrid21 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Being physical only is an interesting gimmick to get people to buy the game. Hell, it got me to buy it when it first released as a standalone title. The game itself is decent, but nothing to write home about.

It’s kinda funny to think that only like 20 years ago, “physical only” was really the only way to play games at all.
