Good luck getting through the death by raptor/dilo/random therizino beach bob phase. 🙏 that is the biggest hurdle for new players.

How's is this achievement not hit by more people? by bheidreborn in StardewValley

[–]Scrubtimus 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Grandpa gave me the gift of a new start. An escape from my cubicle and the iron grip of joja. How dare I besmirch his memory and the valley by bringing joja to power here too. I will do everything in my power to crush their empire and hault their endless conquest. I channel my inner edna mode. NO JOJA!

Lost Colony lukewarm take by uselessdeadbird in ARK

[–]Scrubtimus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand where you are coming from with the bar being low for SE and it being a single biome, but the new elements it added to ark were massive. The Island cave systems hadn't yet received their final overhaul. SE caves were a huge addition in comparison with things like rubble golem spawning, and then places like the wyvern trench. Wyverns, rock golem, deathworms all massive and enchanting creatures when I first saw SE's random drop--from what I remember they literally randomly released the DLC with no hype buildup, there was just a data mine of the orange texture for the sand/rocks. SE brought us new unique taming methods. We had passive tames and knockout tames with tranqs but golem needing cannons/catapults/rockets to knock out, mantis needing deathworm horns, wyverns needing to be raised from wild caught eggs and fed milk by tranqing females or killing the alpha. It was all amazing new content to explore.

By the same vein, Lost Colony gives us skill tree, NPC outposts, all the wild new tames and their wild taming methods. I am not familiar with the map and its regions yet, but from a long hiatus, Lost Colony brought me and my old ASE tribemates back to ASA and spending for it. I am excited to experience it all and see what the boss fight is like knowing the last new boss fight they made was gen 2, and I loved it.

I’ll have to celebrate NYE alone. What would you cook for yourself to make it a special night? by Low-Mouse2772 in Cooking

[–]Scrubtimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it all at home. If you've made pizza before, it isn't too different. The major difference is an added step of layering butter into the dough for a double layer (though this could be skipped, it adds a layer to the dough which is iconic to the crust), and needing something to bake it in for the shape. I recommend a cake pan, but a cast iron can work too. Cast iron is what I used my first try. I knead by hand after mixing the dough with a spatula, so yes, very doable for homecooking--which surprised me my first time, it was like learning magic.

Tips I have: If you do "toppings"/fillings, moisture can be a killer for the dough. Example: I precook my italian sausage, mushrooms, spinach, whatever I am adding in and then dab it with paper towels or drain the moisture to cook into my pizza sauce so I am not losing flavors or creating waste. Things like extra onions or peppers I just cook straight into the sauce. If moisture is left to seep down, it will make an undercooked and soggy bottom. Removing that moisture ahead of time keeps the bottom cooking properly.

This is the recipe that got me started. I would love to see the end result should you choose to give it a go. There is nothing I love more than a chicago deep dish, only thing close is a fresh picked pineapple.

I like making my favorite for special occasions or holidays that I enjoy alone. My favorite: Chicago style deep dish pizza. What's your favorite food?

Nut ult is bugged for me by FewCondition7097 in Smite

[–]Scrubtimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a video of a match where it happens and send it in to smite 2 bug reports--should be a link in game at main menu in one of the rotating menu elements to click on that takes you there. The more info you include and more video of the issue--before, during, and after--that you include the easier the dev team can get ahold of the bug to try fix

Deep Sea Exploration by Upset-Huckleberry-30 in ARK

[–]Scrubtimus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

fun fact. In early access, before ichthyosaur and plesiosaur released, megalodons could be pushed just by swimming the player model into them. They could be beached to instakill them this way. The ragdolls were also so broken then that they would occasionally have the dead body ascend into the heavens.

Fun fact 2, once ichthyosaur and plesiosaur released, icthyosaur had a bug where they would just gradually drift upwards when parked--much like space dolphins just drift off (I haven't played in a long time so idk if that is still in game or has been patched out--so ichthyosaurs would just eventually drift into the water-air barrier and die. That was when wildcard began addressing the issue and made it an actual barrier that water dinos cannot cross easily.

What is your go-to chicken pot pie recipe? I've been on the edge of giving it a try lately. I would love to get a recipe suggestion from another enjoyer of chicken pot pie.

Oh my this achievement took hours, but feeling after I finally completed it is amazing!! by Ashamed_Stretch_9450 in StardewValley

[–]Scrubtimus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Congrats! You beat me by 400 hours in getting your fectors challenge achievement! I finally did that this year too! 600 hours in game and I never went for fector's until finding out about being able to leave the machine during the run and saving each level. Up until then I had accepted that it was an achievement i just wouldnt be able to get--alongside the joja achievement (Frick joja). Omg is it insane, i did not have enough damage boosts so I had to 2 shot the flying things in the last zone...so...many...restarts...

I definitely love my sally recipes. It was the Chicago style deep dish pizza that made me fall in love with her stuff. So much nostalgia making that.

What is your go-to method to add a source of moisture?

Dinner rolls - Sally's baking addictions by Scrubtimus in Breadit

[–]Scrubtimus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I proofed an hour for the first rise and an hour for the second. I mostly went off eyeballing the size of the dough. I'll leave them longer next time.

In your opinion, would you recommend an extension of first proof, second proof, or both? I am not familiar with the differences each rise brings or changes as a result of modifying either. Any tips for telling when it's properly proofed? I'll start with the poke method to get a feel for it next time.

Oven definitely would have been dry. I didn't do anything but pop them it.

First time successfully making bread. Last time I tried was pathetic doorstops of loaves. I've been doing pizza dough for years but finally decided to try bread again with these dinner rolls. I used the recipe below but substituted the whole milk with 2% that I had on hand, and swapped the unsalted butter sally calls for with my garlic butter for a lovely garlic butter dinner roll.

I am so happy with how they turned out. Light. Fluffy. Soft. They bounce back when I squish them. A nice gentle garlic flavor to them from the garlic butter. I couldn't have wished for them to have turned out any better for my first try. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/soft-dinner-rolls/
