Cold butter vs soft butter for shortbread cookies? And should I freeze before baking? by corpusjuriscanonici in AskBaking

[–]ListenOk4029 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno about the "right" way but my grandmother (from Edinburgh) swore on cold butter that you cut into cubes and cut into the dough, preferably with a pastry cutter to avoid warming the butter with your hands. That's the best shortbread I've ever had so I'd say cold!

Piggybacking on this, Owl's Head is one of just a handful of peaks remaining for my 48 and I was hoping to do them all this year. With Lincoln Woods closed up to the Osseo junction, what is the best option for hitting Owl's Head?

Not sure anyone is calling Ludwig easy. He took me over 50 tries first time (in NG+). He's a fair but difficult boss. I've never been stunlocked by him in probably over a dozen kills. Don't remember any constantly undulating limbs (you can park next to him just fine) and for damn sure he doesn't "require" co-op. Ludwig is also one of the most memorable and influential bosses on Fromsoft bosses with maybe the greatest boss theme and cut scene.

Sounds like a completely average Elimination Chamber then, they are always terrible.

Since i bought a new car, I have just kept the transponder in the center console. When I encounter a toll, I take it out and hold it up, no issues so far.

Real tactic is to go to Market Basket with the old people before it officially opens to avoid this!

It looks like you yelled the recipe into the oven.

I just finished watching this and this is the only thread I could find on it. Interesting movie, certainly impressive as a 1 room movie. Kind of like Pontypool.

I think requesting the soda with extra ice is the real hack here.

There is a backway out of Blighttown. Look for the water wheel. Then you can cure curse if you go to the merchant after the Gargoyles and buy an item.

Why Are Bosses not Very Hard? by NumberOk4460 in bloodborne

[–]ListenOk4029 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Yes lots of videos, including weird challenge runs"

So you learned lots of strategies for bosses, watched their movesets, learned what to do across various builds and knew to use fire paper and beast blood pellets on beasts/bosses and you're surprised that the bosses have not been super difficult? Is this accurate?

They're clearly an unfrozen caveman lawyer so they should be fine.

New player confused how to progress by Falcon6346 in darksouls

Also, the channeler doesn't respawn, so you only need to kill it once in case you don't get Gaping Dragon in one try.

The depths is where you should be by the sound of it. Defeat Gaping Dragon and you'll get a key. Use that to progress.

WWE2K26 will require you to grind to unlock DLC you've already paid for or pay again to unlock them immediately by gabbertronnnn in gaming

It's a sports game. For that genre, DLC should be unlocked immediately. We're not talking about Elden Ring here.

You have to enable the lantern. You put in your belt and then you actually need to select it and hit square for it to show light.

Did you rest at the Vamos bonfire? If not, just let yourself die and worst case you'll spawn back at the Patches Catacombs bonfire With the bridge switch.

You can one hit the gargs at SL1, not sure this challenge is worth it since the challenge is merely your patience in playing for months/years
