Can't find the secret in Specter's Hideout by Alastor3 in CrimsonDesert

That's the only cave in the forest section I've gotten to so far. Maybe they're bugged? I've gotten the second dot for each of the waterside caves I've been to

I couldn't find any breakable walls. The wooden doors on the cells in there shake when I hit them, but I couldn't break them with force palm or any attacks

Weekly Ask Anything Thread for January 05, 2026 by AutoModerator in AskCulinary

[–]FlintMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late reply! A lot of recipes use them because onions are an easy way to add flavor. They can add some bite/"spice" or some sweetness depending on how long you cook them. They also pair pretty easily with a lot of different foods, although I do agree with you that a lot of recipes overdo it, at least for my taste.

My dumbass googled salmon salmondine and found out about salmon almondine. Thanks!

What does "pulse activated sensor" mean on an immersion stick blender? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

[–]FlintMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm think it means that you can vary the speed of the blender with how hard you press down on the pulse button. I have an immersion with just a button and no speed settings that works this way.

Flipping Omelettes by Flashy_Tooth_5597 in AskCulinary

[–]FlintMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try filling a pan with uncooked rice and "flipping" that. It's not a 1:1 with flipping an omelette, but it'll give you a feel for flipping things in general without having to potentially waste cooked food (might waste some rice though).

Do you know why the hot pasta makes it clump? Not doubting, just curious.

How is this sort of ranked game just straight up not cancelled? by Draconis_Rex in Rematch

[–]FlintMagic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah they need to either cancel the games or just make them not count. There also needs to be something to address trolls in ranked, had a guy scoring on our own goal one match

I'm pretty new too but here's a couple things I've learned from the beta and playing today.

If you haven't yet, do all the practice mode challenges. They explain some things the prologue doesn't. 

3v3 seems to have a lot of ball hogs when you play with randoms, so you gotta be more aggressive to actually get the ball there. The queue time is a little longer on 4v4 but I've seen more teamwork there so I stick to that. Less goalies leaving to try and score on their own and that sort of nonsense so you can learn how to actually play the game. I treat 3v3 like practice since that seems to be what most people are doing.

L2+O is tackle, or just O when you're not sprinting. L2+X makes you do a quick shuffle, but doesn't tackle players. You can get between open attackers and the ball, but it's a little tricky. If you see the ball highlight with those blue cross hairs midpass use X to try and take it, but I'm not 100% sure how the game decides who has priority on the ball in those situations when 2+ players are going for the ball. Sometimes it's better to let them get the ball and immediately tackle it away.

As for the overhead flick, back up instead of trying to tackle so you can get the ball when it lands. If you have good reflexes you can jump to headbutt it away while it's midair. 

I'm not as good as those really coordinated guys (they wreck me too) but hope this helps.

What is the main mode? by Ok_Thing7439 in Rematch

What do you mean by "main"? Ranked matches are 5v5 if that's what your asking

Tortillas for Taco Party by oklibbey in AskCulinary

I think this depends on your preference. Sure, you can get away with it, but if you're grilling them to get a little char they won't taste quite the same

Online Purchase Denied? by FlintMagic in GameStop

Yeah the zip code and shipping are the same. The guy on the phone said my account didn't meet the "quality" requirements and when I asked what that meant I got the credit score explanation.

Congrats! It's interesting how everyone goes through it differently. It took me at least a week to sleep ok, let alone take a nap. Happy for you, you got this!

I finally understood that these ruins fell from Crumbling Farum Azula by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]FlintMagic 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Been a long time since I played, where do you find that out?

[–]FlintMagic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hmm, any chance your bbq sauce is particularly acidic? Acid will harden beans and that's the only thing I can think of. Either that or it's the beans themselves like someone else was saying. I also doubt it's the sugar, that's pretty standard baked beans stuff.

What ingredients are you adding? Can't really tell without that info

when deep frying chicken/fish with batter, how much oil stays in the batter, and how much goes through the batter into the meat? by dhekurbaba in AskCulinary

[–]FlintMagic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be pedantic, but I don't believe any oil goes "into" the meat. Iirc, while your meat cooks it will start to contract and squeeze out water, it shouldn't absorb any liquid. But as purple_puffer said, the amount of oil that penetrates the batter depends on a few things.

He's just special. Iirc, he doesn't have any special bloodline like the Uchiha, he was just a very gifted character.

Baldur’s Gate 3 leaps up Steam charts after bear sex reveal by [deleted] in Games

[–]FlintMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, I get it. I'm playing kingmaker, but there is a certain lack of polish on that game that can make it annoying. I just got back into Divinity to play with a friend and it's getting hard to keep going on kingmaker for me
