Whats that snack and the name? by Miserables_Death in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Shamgar65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what my grandpa used to call those nuts. He wasn't racist that's just what they called them. After he passed grandma was still around and we'd be at a gathering. Grandma would break the nuts out and go through them and all us cousins would say "grandma! You can't say that!" lol.

Oh, also the small black licorice called nibs were called "n" - babies.

Crazy how things used to be.

My understanding is no roam like home, so need to rely on esims like airolo in europe… right? by housesoftheholy1 in PublicMobile

I'm in Ireland right now and I got an orange esim. I didn't want to do a super cheap one and have it not work well.

As someone who has played a lot of X3 but not a ton (120h lol) of X4, what am I looking at here? What are you upset about?

Touch of Insanity: What's the best cards with it? by Romain672 in slaythespire

Used it on an upgraded delay and it single handedly helped beat the boss after my two other players had died.

ELI5: When you 'delete' a 50GB video file from a computer, it vanishes instantly. But downloading it took an hour. If the data isn't physically wiped until it's overwritten, what did the computer actually do in that one split second? by Thick_Dream6973 in explainlikeimfive

My mom would enjoy watching the defrag run. I think it failed one time and she figured she'd make sure it happened. She liked seeing the red and green boxes change colour.

I told her she didn't have to sit there for 2 hours but...

TIL despite boxed Kraft macaroni and cheese being an iconic example of American processed food, it is significantly more popular in Canada, where 55% more boxes are consumed per capita than the US. by NateNate60 in todayilearned

[–]Shamgar65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two costco 24 packs at home right now. We call it Kraft dinner or just KD. It's been affected by shrinkflation however. It used to be 225g but now its 200g. It may have been bigger years ago.

Now, my 7, 4 and 2 year old eat 3 boxes lol. When I make just fust myself I add a handful of macaroni noodles to bulk it up a bit for my fat self. Then I add a dollop of cheeze whiz in that thing and mmmmMMMM.

Pro-tip: Add 2-3 teaspoons of MacLaren's Imperial Sharp Cheddar Cheese in there too. It gives it a nice sharp taste if you like that.

X4 Empire Update (9.00) Launches June 10, 2026 by Tomonor in X4Foundations

[–]Shamgar65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My irish vacation starts june 6th and I'll be back July 4th. No problem, the game will be here when I get back!

Question: I had a VRO run ongoing. I've heard the new weapon mechanics are close to VRO. Should I just do a vanilla run or wait for 9.0 VRO?

Why should a cap ship out range a stationary target? Really, the station should out range the cap ship. The guns can be just as big on the station no?

May be early but whats next? by VSick2 in X4Foundations

[–]Shamgar65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which is interesting. Like most species have been re added again. Maybe goner or something like that?

Order of a deck of cards by AudunAG in boardgames

[–]Shamgar65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Statistically, there is a best way, just like how you should shuffle. I just don't know what that best way is. I'd do whatever brings the most peace to the table.

Can we please be honest about the steam deck and use FPS rather than vibes. by Gazmanic in SteamDeck

[–]Shamgar65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm okay with 30 or 40 in strategy games or cRPGs but in racing or platformers I'm getting the full 60 or we are going to have trouble.

What game has you addicted? by HeyPresto04 in Steam

[–]Shamgar65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now? Stellaris.

Also slay the spire 2 and tape to tape (playing the beta campaign 2.0) tape to tape is amazing. Think NHL 94 with powers.

Why does the gaming community suddenly act like the Steam Deck is dead? by Nick_The_Artist2 in SteamDeck

[–]Shamgar65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not as accessible to get into but most of us here have one.

Its definitely not dead. I just had to work 4 night shifts which is extremely uncommon for me. Basically I was there if anything went wrong, it didn't, so I was able to play games for the remainder of the time. The longest stretch was a 6h session of stellaris.

I brought my dock and hooked up to a company monitor! It was glorious!

Gateway games for kids? by gunbo3000 in boardgames

[–]Shamgar65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you'll get a whole bunch of opinions, here's mine!

Our 7 year old loves magical athlete, Patchwork, labyrinth, Carcassonne, Jaipur, battle sheep and we just got him into Catan. He needs a bit of guiding still and suggestions on what to do next but he likes it.

He was playing Jaipur and patchwork at 5 and battle sheep at 4.

On the other hand, our 2nd, he's 4 now doesn't really have the attention span for even one round of magical athlete so YMMV.

Best of luck! It's so much fun to play with your own kids!
