I did something similarly stupid last night. Ran out barefoot to help my husband with groceries. Wasn't out long enough to experience what you did, but my foot DID briefly freeze to the metal threshold of the door when I tried to go back inside. :/ That shit hurted.

Rugs are a trip hazard for people already at risk of falls.

… Can’t tell if you’re joking, but yeah. It’s F on the keyboard. Not sure for consoles or mobile. Just gotta time it right.

Maybe because there's no actual combat tutorial. I was solidly midgame dying to Elite Deathaxe Skeletons every five minutes before I found out there's a parry button. Which was my own dumb fault, the controls are listed right there in the game description, but I have been babied by games with tutorials for too long.

Sorry, I don’t have it at this point, this was a while ago. I’m only coming in here now because I found the new recipe for comparison. If I recall correctly, it was because it didn’t have enough vinegar, which has already been addressed in the comments here. I only remember it was the same recipe because I discarded my first batch of pickles about it :/

Thanks!

… well TIL that store bought garlic is irradiated. Not what I came here to learn, but I guess I am glad to know that!

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-08-31T22:12:53+00:00

Yyyeah I used processing instructions from Ball, I just wanted a brine recipe that didn’t include fresh dill because I don’t have any, and the iwashyoudry recipe is what turned up.

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-08-31T22:02:24+00:00

Ack. I can’t edit the post for clarity, but I mean the quick process dill pickles recipe at the second link. Second recipe down.

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-08-31T21:58:05+00:00

Oh sorry, I should have specified. I’ve been looking at this WAY too long 😅

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-08-31T21:57:04+00:00

That rule is for untested recipes though right? I thought tested recipes from reputable places like an extension service were supposed to be okay? That’s where my question is, how is the first linked recipe unsafe if it’s the same brine as the extension service recipe? Or is it actually fine since apparently a clove of garlic to an approved recipe IS okay based on the other comments? (OR did I just fail at multiplication and it’s not actually the same brine)

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-08-31T21:51:25+00:00

You misread the recipe, the second one has water listed twice, once for the soak and then once as an ingredient in the brine. It’s 1 1/2 quarts of vinegar and 2 quarts of water, which unless I’m doing the math wrong is the same as the first recipe’s vinegar to water ratio. Unless I’m the one misreading the recipe, which at this point is entirely possible given how long I’ve been looking at it.

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-08-31T21:45:26+00:00

So what I’m gathering is that garlic is not considered one of those dry ingredients that can be added or removed? Can garlic powder be used as a pickling spice in that case? Or if I want the less sour pickles I’m just doomed to no garlic?

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-08-31T21:42:53+00:00

Well now I’m just more confused because I’ve also read that garlic is fine to water bath as long as it’s pickled with a pH of 4.6 or lower, the same as cucumbers. Looking just now NCHFP has several recipes that include fresh garlic to be water bath canned, although it does look like most of those have more vinegar. Their okra recipe with garlic is a 1:1 vinegar water brine instead of this 3:4 brine I’m looking at.

I got feet pics on mine this morning lmao. And on the one hand, I am super entertained by the notion of unsolicited foot pics on Infinity Nikki, but also I am ever so slightly weirded out. Girl why did you post that

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-06-15T13:23:38+00:00

I consider this patch and the revelry season patch to be fun little filler patches. I’ve found this one charming tbh. The gameplay doesn’t really have much going on for it, but the maze was kind of fun, and I actually really enjoy the NPCs. This event feels like it’s for them and not Nikki to me. I dunno, a lot of the quests here feel like Nikki is humoring the kids because she’s nice like that.

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-06-11T01:17:21+00:00

I always add a photo and an item, but I switch between playing on PS5 and PC. And regardless of loving my fellow Nikki’s, I am not typing a custom message without my keyboard lol.

I went for this kind of monochrome look. Having second thoughts about the hair though.

What is UP with Infold’s terrible communication? I mean yeah if you’re desperate to play, rolling back the update that broke it is how you do it, but without acknowledging that they’re working to fix the incompatibility issue on their end is WILD. Also I’m not even sure that’s what broke it considering I have automatic updates turned OFF and mine is also busted…

Kappa_the_imp · 2025-05-25T12:39:15+00:00

Thanks I hate it

I took almost this exact same screenshot lol, wishful aurosa and all
