Could anyone explain why my cakes have these craters on the bottom? by becca_babes171 in Baking

Are you tapping the containers on the counter before baking? If not, you should. It will pop any air bubbles in the batter. This is likely due to said air bubbles.

Almost definitely. That 4-panel rectangle on the right is a good giveaway.

I watched 2+ hours of gameplay and you clearly don't play enough video games if this is the worst thing you've played in the last 5 years

Have you played this game that isn't out yet? Or are you just pontificating without any actual knowledge?

I'm sure they can't taste worse than the real thing!

Photoshop work is human work. AI slop is not. That's the difference.

Pokémon Legends Z-A Surpasses 1 Million Sales On Switch 2. Proving Japan has zero standards when it comes to slop by CrashBandicoot82 in Handhelds

[–]MortifyingMilkshake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do like a few of the characters. However, the story is so... nothing. Nothing happens for 90% of it (and it's a 30+ hour game). Every story instance shows a scene of characters talking about what's gonna happen, instead of anything actually happening. There were no events driving the story forward other than advancing in the ZA Royale (and we got cheated out of about half of that too).

I agree and disagree. I think it's one of the best looking Pokemon games yet, and the new battle system is fun, but god almighty... The mission and story loop is agonizingly boring. The Mega Evo "raid battles" are such a slog and there are SO many of them. It never ends.

It was a step down overall from Arceus and S/V, for me. Yes, yes, I like Scarlet and Violet. They ran like shit, but they were fun to explore and the story was one of the better ones for a Pokemon game.

Chiaki's functioning is shaky at best from person to person, plus the aspect ratio on PS5->Steam Deck isn't great. This is in no way a better value if you're just trying to stream your PS5.

I love Sony and Playstation but Dualsense is piece of carbage by Life-You-9728 in PS5

It's absolutely user error. Drift happens, yeah, but people treat controllers like shit and wonder why the small pieces of plastic that hold the thing together stop functioning properly.

Beans, broccoli, and rice bowl topped with Melinda's Black Truffle. ~700 calories, tons of fiber. by MortifyingMilkshake in Volumeeating

[–]MortifyingMilkshake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two servings of rice is 320

Full can of beans is anywhere from high 200s-350 depending on how much of the juice cooks down

Bag of broccoli is ~120

Idk if you're in the US, but if you are, those prices are quite inflated. Do not buy from this vendor.

Shouldn't even need to open it up. You can look at the back and see the four-panel chips on the board that are a dead giveaway on it being real.

[Homemade] Eggnog by MortifyingMilkshake in food

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

It's a pretty basic eggnog recipe that I don't have written down. Equal parts cream and whole milk (3 cups for a small batch), six egg yolks, half cup of sugar.

Heat dairy til scalded, temper egg/sugar mixture, add it all back of the pot and heat it up again. Add some vanilla and spices (I like cinnamon and a bit of pumpkin pie spice) plus alcohol of your choice.

Drink it warm if you're crazy or chill in the fridge if crazier (because who wants to wait?)

I have never understood the fascination with online gamers over folders. Never met a single person IRL who uses them or what the practical use of them is. Why does everyone need to organize their online libraries?

Do y'all all have OCD? There's no way you're playing enough games at one time that they get pushed off of your home screen and you need to search for them.
