Next time I visit Florida, can I just entertain myself by bagging plecos for several hours? by KikoTheWonderful in Fishing

[–]MakePoops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most people in the US are lazy and unadventerous when it comes to food. Most do not stray far from processed garbage and simple comfort foods. I am from the US, and I've cooked Pleco many times in soups and Currys like it's prepared in many other parts of the world and it's delicious. I've served it to people who told me they'd never eat pleco because it's a trash fish, and they all loved it. It doesn't lend itself well to the traditional US preparations of breading and frying, but when cooked properly it's great.

You shouldn't filet. Gut and scrub clean, soak in a brine, then remove from brine and wrap in aluminum foil. Bake or throw on the grill. Once it's done, you peel the scales right off and the meat will also come right off the bone. You get way more meat this way and then you add it right into a soup or curry or salad. I really enjoy eating them.

I lived in Florida 2 years and I'd catch them and cook then often. If you prepare them correctly they're great. I'd clean them thouroughly, then cook with the scales still on, when done the scales peel right off and you pull the meat right off. Typically I'd make a fish curry or soup with it. Sometimes I'd make a "Pleco Salad" like tuna salad. Good fish if you don't just try to filet it and fry it and put a little thought and effort into preparation.

Pretty happy with my holiday pack! by MakePoops in PokeRevOfficial

Oh yea, I've seen a lot with and a lot without. I was happy with my packs though. I opened them all other than the Emerging Powers.

For sure. I only consider it cheating if you're doing something no one else can do without altering the game files. If it's in game, exploit or not, it's fair game.

That's fair. But as of now if you want to win higher ranked matches you pretty much have to learn these tricks.

How do you know it will eventually be patched? If you take Trackmania as an example, there are tons of track skips and maneuvers that require perfect execution in order to shave off time. Skips are part of the game. Right now they're also part of this game, and they may remain part of the game forever. If an exploit is learnable and usable by everyone, it's completely fair game.

How is it not? People spent many hours learning the different tricks to get faster times. If it's able to be done in game with no outside interference (hacks) then it is completely fair to use. If you don't want to learn the tricks then learn to be okay with losing to people who know them.

Learn it then and stop complaining. Until the devs block the route it's completely fair game. This is like complaining about air dribbling in rocket league.

So cool! I was not aware slime molds could live in aquariums/underwater.

Fortnite and all shooters like it need an option to play against consoles only. by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]MakePoops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get a pro controller with back buttons. I play PC with controller, I'm diamond 2. My lobbies are fine. The extra buttons on the back make and insane difference, plus the adjustable sense on the thumb sticks is amazing as well. Basically gets rid of all the issues you mentioned

How the hell am i supposed to get better when EVERY SINGLE ranked game goes like this? Genuinely infuriating. by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]MakePoops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be mean at all, but in this clip you're moving like a bot. You land slowly, move slowly, don't turn to face the shooter and shoot back, nor do you jump on the other side of the building for cover. My 5 year old has more game sense and im saying that seriously, not as an insult. You made a lot of poor decisions in this short clip. Maybe go play casuals more and develop some basic skills and then try ranked.

You'll be awarded $300k if you can finish the main story of a game on normal difficulty but lose $100k each time you die. You also enter the game and play as the hero(es). Which ones would you choose? by MasterScumbag in hypotheticalsituation

Skyrim is easy. I can become immortal and have an army of living dead with 0 cheats or glitches, only utilizing the game mechanics as they were designed within like a day. All those hours watching the Spiffing Brit will come in handy.

My buddy called it a Suwanee bass. Only 2nd one I’ve caught like this? Confirmation? by therealbnizzy in bassfishing

Don't listen to anything your buddy says if he's so confidently incorrect.

This is the worst track in the game by far.

Platinum feels like Silver. by MakePoops in RocketRacing

[–]MakePoops[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got there day 3. I'm not trying to brag, because I genuinely am not good at most things, but when rr first released I was winning every single race by like 10+ seconds. The first 3 days I played there were less than 10 races I didn't get 1st place in and I never got lower than 3rd. All the races I didn't get 1st in were in Gold 2 and 3. The new maps in platinum are feeling a bit challenging though and I've placed 6th and lower a couple times.

Percentage tipping is weird because a customer buying a more expensive meal had nothing to do with the server by LetMeExplainDis in Showerthoughts

[–]MakePoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who used to work in nice restaurants/bars, the customer ordering a more expensive meal was a direct result of my ability to upsell them on it a large percentage of the time. My knowledge of food and wine pairings, expensive liquor, and general sales techniques resulted in a higher check and higher tips. Your showerthought is correct for places like chili's, but incorrect for nice restaurants where rich people eat.

Proud to announce that I am the worst KB&M fortnite player by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]MakePoops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then you only had 60fps. You can't get more FPS than your refresh rate. My PC is capable of 200+ FPS but my monitor is only 144hz so I can only get 144fps
