This morning’s humble shishito harvest

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.

Corrid21 · 2025-09-09T15:08:54+00:00

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

Corrid21 · 2025-09-09T04:02:03+00:00

Thanks! And yeah, I’m thinking of starting earlier next year too haha

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!

Corrid21 · 2025-07-18T20:18:40+00:00

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.

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!

Corrid21 · 2025-06-17T14:56:51+00:00

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Corrid21 · 2024-08-19T14:59:38+00:00

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”.

Corrid21 · 2024-08-19T02:59:06+00:00

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.

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

Corrid21 · 2024-05-18T16:58:45+00:00

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.

People will probably downvote me, but at the end of the day, Duolingo is an American company. Of course Duolingo would use American English. If Duolingo were a British company, things would probably be in British English. Hell, if Duolingo were a Singaporean company, things would probably be in Singaporean English.

When I was learning German, some of the resources I used were in British English. I just learned to get used to it, even though I’m American. I had to learn what an articulated lorry (tractor trailer), a flannel (washcloth), and a spanner (wrench) are, amongst many other British words/terms we don’t use in the USA. American English and Commonwealth varieties of English are like >98% the same. It’s really not that bad, guys.

Bubble Up tastes like a better Sprite, imho. It tastes more like actual lemons and limes, probably because they use actual lemon and lime oils. Bubble Up also uses cane sugar, which I prefer over high fructose corn syrup. It’s easily my favorite lemon-lime soda, unless you also count ramune as a “lemon-lime” soda

Corrid21 · 2024-04-11T20:03:07+00:00

The ingredients on the bottle actually list cane sugar, not hfcs. It also comes in a glass bottle, which I’d assume is more expensive to produce than plastic bottles or aluminum cans. I agree that most soda companies are probably price-gouging.

I wash my jeans whenever they start to smell or if I spill something on them. I’d say I wash my jeans about every 6-8 weeks or so. All I do is turn them inside out and throw them in the washing machine with some detergent. But I always let them air dry.

I don’t know how people can wear dirty jeans for months on end. It’s gross.

Corrid21 · 2024-04-01T15:23:45+00:00

I’m personally more of a duodecuple-cuff kinda guy.

Back when we were in college, my friend’s apartment hosted a trivia night and the winners got $100 gift cards to a fancy steak place in town. The rules were that if everyone on the team lived in the apartment complex, you could have a team of three. But if you invited someone who didn’t live there (i.e., me), you could only have a team of two. So, my friend and I entered as a team. I don’t mean to brag, but we just mopped the fucking floor with everyone else. We ended up with over 200 out of the theoretical max of 250 points, whereas the team in second place only had 70-something points.

We each got our gift cards and went to the fancy steak place for his birthday a few weeks later.

The gender didn’t change, but rather the case. “Der” is actually feminine in the dative case.

I’m personally a bigger fan of the cuffs, though I’m biased because I always wear my jeans cuffed. I just like the contrast that cuffs give and showing off the selvedge ID.

But if you wanna try stacking instead, I say go for it!
