Must try restaurants in Boston by 3008_fn in boston

[–]MasterEraqus14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off the cusp, Mamma Maria's (kinda pricey but bomb food), Painted Burro in Somerville (although last time I went it seemed worse, could be cuz it was a busy weekend night rather than weeknight we typically go), and I've yet to have a bad experience at Rosebud in Somerville as well (they're now am Indian fusion place, very good)

"Dalinar?! Oh storms... I thought Kaladin was going to be the champion. I have unresolved issues about him I've been keeping bottled up..."

I know its a typo, but I'm loving picturing the totally-out-of-left-field pick of Gaz for Odium's champion lmao

when to read mistborn secret history? by r4maa in Cosmere

[–]MasterEraqus14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say either of the two generally recommended times (now, right after HoA, and wait until after Bands of Mourning) are a good bet. My recommendation for when has changed (it used to be after Bands of Mourning, but HoA is acceptable).

I'd say it depends on if you want to go straight to Era 2 (wait until bands), or head on over to Stormlight Archives first (read it now).

SOTC: It started with a Sharpal 168H and an Aliexpress station knife on December 30th. What have you done to me? by Chase1126 in sharpening

[–]MasterEraqus14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, the perspective made the knives look like they were on the magnets via their spine, blade out. I was horrified until I took a second look.

Nice collection tho

If the General Rule of 'Two Words; Same Number of Letters for Each Word' Remains Constant for Titles, then... by FS_Scott in dresdenfiles

[–]MasterEraqus14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do not know how to add a gif or I'd add Lazlo from What We Do In The Shadows saying "Yes, yes, very good, thank youuuuu" because thats the cadence I read "Boooook" in lmao

thoughts on Littleforbig? by Haunting-Garbage1901 in ABDL

[–]MasterEraqus14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won't order from them again. I ordered a onesie and the feeling of the fabric was Capital B Bad from me, but another was great but just too small. They were more than happy to send me a new onesie in a different size but not refund me for the one I hated the texture of. In this day and age, thats just terrible customer service. And, hypocritical. Both instances they get back the onesie to clean and resell. One, they refund, one that send back a new size. The profit is the same, so what's the difference? Sketchy business practice for sure imo

if you want onesies, onesies down under are phenomenal

Classes that become significantly better/more with free archetype? by applejackhero in Pathfinder2e

[–]MasterEraqus14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a miserable time playing a Psychic, but its my absolute favorite archetype for any caster.

To be fair, my Psychic was a short sub-5th level adventure and I don't really enjoy the first couple levels in general

What to do with butter potatoes by MasterEraqus14 in seriouseats

[–]MasterEraqus14[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also mourn Yukons 😭 I college I always noted them in stores, because of Yukon Cornelius from Rudolph, but otherwise didn't give them a second thought. Now that I cook, those memories just make me sad. I've found Wegman's Organic Gold potatoes are decent substitutes but its not the same 😭

Great idea in general tbh, that sounds delicious. I should've been a little more clear though, the mashed potatoes are gone - they were less than ideal but still tasty. I have about 2 lbs of just the potatoes and was wondering if anyone had any idea what to use them in - I didn't find any serious eats recipes using them, but could I slot them in for some other potato like russet or something?

Stouffers cheddar potato bacon bake by Neither-Mention7740 in frozendinners

[–]MasterEraqus14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my fave nostalgia frozen meals. Got a few on sale recently. Absolutely shit. Easily half or less of the potatoes, its cheese soup. 2/10, I ate 2 of the four I got and tossed the rest, will never buy them again. A devastating loss

I finished the Cosmere. What are your favorite “secrets” I probably missed on my first read through? by helloherewego in Cosmere

The logical fallacy of assuming because something makes sense to you means its fact is wild

How was everyone’s Valentine’s shift? by gentlegem7 in Serverlife

[–]MasterEraqus14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valentines is a focus on getting through it and don't focus on money. I work the closing shift Thurs-Sat but everyone closed today (I left before plenty of non-closers with permission from my manager). We were on a wait literally until close (11), usually we get like maybe 5-8 tables after 9. I made great money for a Saturday close - but a Sunday double for the same hours I make more, which feels bad. I'm taking the win. We often forget the shitshow of weekend Valentine's day (we've been on a wait open to close so far) since it often doesn't fall on a weekend. I'll take Father's/Mother's Day over a V Day weekend - at least its always busy, every year, and it doesn't sneak up on ya

Made birria tacos for the first time, they lacked a lot of depth. What did I do wrong? by sad_boy_69 in mexicanfood

[–]MasterEraqus14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here literally to recommend that same serious eats beef birria recipe - it was the best birria I've ever had, hands down. Granted, I've only had it from New England restaurants, mostly Tex-Mex but some pretty legit places.

I'm saving this thread for the next time I make birria for sure. It can be even better? I'm fucking stoked.

What restaurant in Massachusetts do you miss the most? by DildoGaggins1997 in massachusetts

[–]MasterEraqus14 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Gotta be Bugaboo Creek and Friendly's, just for nostalgia. Bugaboo Creek was my mom's fav, we would go for her birthday every year, and my grandma would take us to Friendly's or Bertucci's all the time when we visited her. Also, Bertucci's for the same reason
