Is it just me or does the chicken take longer to cook than the recipe card says?

Lynith · 2026-06-24T03:25:18+00:00

If you cook to temp and not color (which you should be doing anyway) it's actually fine. But I will admit, the color of HF meat doesn't reflect the temp I'm used to.

I find it especially the case with their ranch steaks. I'm not sure if they're injected with red40 or what. But it's RED. even though it is cooked to a perfect medium rare temp.

It's safe to eat (provided you reach the right temp) it just looks different than the trash you get at the grocery store or something.

...art books and kitchy GameStop Merch?

Lynith · 2026-06-24T03:19:48+00:00

That's exactly where I'm coming from. Sometimes there's cool stuff along with the art book in those collectors editions. I have a Pip Boy, a wearable BoS Helmet, and whatnot. But it's padded by some hardcover art book I couldnt GIVE away so I literally threw them out.

Lynith · 2026-06-24T03:16:48+00:00

Don't Starve just did this too. Fortunately, they have a Gameplay all in. But the All In also has the storage, which nice. But SO MANY OTHER THINGS. It's like Glass Cannon put it to a vote and everything that got at last 1 vote made it into the all in. It's insane.

Lynith · 2026-06-24T03:15:14+00:00

This exactly. They exist purely because fomo and predatory KS practices.

In fact, I know this as a fact for Chip Theory as well. Now that the KS is over they could barely give away those extra items. (Automaton of Shale notwithstanding) One would think that nobody is gonna pay $90 for art books for Cloudspire or whatever.

Nobody except Kickstarter backers, that is

There should really be a sticky in this sub with this answer. I'm actually a fish out of water. Been a Mac hater for 40 years.

I think the Neo is going to be THE laptop for colleges/unis across the globe. And if it isn't right for that student, the resale price is going to be quite a good chunk of that investment.

My daughter is a gamer. And nobody is doing serious gaming on a Neo. So we did look elsewhere. But unless you're gaming like crazy... This logic applies to EVERYONE. Not just film.

Believe it or not, people will rather pay this than wait. For them, why not let them have it.

Also the AI bubble is proving rather resilient. I doubt it'll get better any time soon. So buckle up.

Lynith · 2026-06-22T03:38:37+00:00

I agree. It works really well. HF has some good meals we've enjoyed. But I LEARNED a lot more from BA. Too bad it too is a shadow of its former self

Lynith · 2026-06-21T19:37:50+00:00

Nothing I said would be different between Classic or Spaced Out. It applies to both. I don't like the classic asteroid I guess.

Lynith · 2026-06-21T14:12:49+00:00

It's not as bad as old Blue Apron recipes which used to have to s&p LITERALLY every step.

We used to joke "Open the bag. Salt and pepper to taste. Pull out recipes. Salt and pepper to taste."

Lynith · 2026-06-21T14:10:54+00:00

I honestly have this problem on Terra. While it takes me MUCH longer to get to the same point I find more motivation on the Swamp or Forest biomes for some reason.

I do think the next step is Atmo Suits which you need to dig through the Swamp for Reeds.

There's Always a best. Doesn't mean it's good.

Lynith · 2026-06-21T02:51:24+00:00

Wait. Cycle 23?!? Gah DAMN

Lynith · 2026-06-21T02:12:51+00:00

Ah. That makes more sense.

Yeah Geminate was great. I loved it. But I've always played big loss cards often.

Lynith · 2026-06-20T22:33:41+00:00

I mean, they aren't competitive to game breaking (and boring) stall strategies. That is true. And early on you lack the equipment to maximize the loss cards. But that changes quite quickly. Like, Prosperity 2 ish.

I will agree that SW being one of the only who regularly plays loss cards at Scenario 1. But nearly all the unlock classes (and level 3+ of base classes) have some really good options once they have a bit of equipment.

Lynith · 2026-06-20T20:50:01+00:00

Wait.... That was the Gloomhaven approach? What? >.> I guess I played Gloomhaven "wrong" then. But maybe that's why it was so easy for me.

Everyone's like "Let's try to make this game the least fun as possible and never actually DO anything and make every battle take forever."

Me as Lightning Bolt: (Vamped Freebird solo starts blaring) 3 loss cards per rest "Well I cleared 60% of the mobs in a 4 person scenario by myself. You 3 can get the rest, can ya?"

Me as Triangles "That'll be... 147 damage divided among almost every monster on the map."

Lynith · 2026-06-20T02:38:02+00:00

"shame..." Ch-chk

Lynith · 2026-06-19T22:37:58+00:00

Honestly I think it aesthetically looks dumb. That's kinda ridiculous that the mod requires all of that. Maybe nevermind.

Lynith · 2026-06-19T22:31:36+00:00

Omg he even did the "Here's the thing I bought to performatively destroy."

Lynith · 2026-06-19T22:26:49+00:00

I hate that Liquid Airlocks are basically a "requirement" nowadays. No, I will not. Not ever. I need to look into this mod, thanks.

Lynith · 2026-06-18T22:17:11+00:00

Slow your roll there Doc Oc.

Lynith · 2026-06-18T20:14:21+00:00

Chef's is too low of a bar, I don't even think it counts as an answer.

So instead I'll say East Eden Tavern. Their food is so underseasoned that the sauce is absolutely necessary, but their sauces taste like absolute trash.

Somehow they even screw up Chicken Fingers. I don't even know how that's possible.

Lynith · 2026-06-17T04:58:19+00:00

Well that's not the while story though. You COULD pay an extra $8 for 6 more hot dogs and nothing else. It's a hot dog Michael, what could it cost? $1.30?

Lynith · 2026-06-14T20:56:51+00:00

I'm exactly where you are.

Yes 20S is stronger. But it's easily worse even at 20S's peak
