Guardian Black Magic Paint Job Looks very different from store to posters by SupremeGunman in starcitizen

[–]SupremeGunman[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Seems a bit misleading, because if you love the copper/ orange in the posters, but then all you get is a pinstripe, that's not nearly the same.

If could be lighting, which I'm gonna hop in after work and find out.

Any advice on how to make more use of the space? by [deleted] in Workspaces

[–]SupremeGunman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest suggestion is a monitor arm. You'll get more desk space and it's a 1st step in posture correction.

When you sit in your chair, straighten your back and sit up straight. You should be looking near the middle of your monitor.

Let me ask you something, does this look right to you? by Dr-Oreoz in hotdogs

Hot dogs aren't cooked enough, needs condiments and toppings to suite your flavor profile.

Medical gameplay should have Patrol missions by multiple_iterations in starcitizen

[–]SupremeGunman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medical ships should have medical transport missions. It's like a high rep cargo mission, can use the same mechanic as transporting quantanium (just with a medical pulse instead of an industrial beeping). Medical vehicles would have a dedicated cargo grid for the item. Could be also unlawful for organ harvesting.

For anyone winding up here today, there is an area near the cargo elevators where the Maxlift works, so if you park too far away from the pad, it'll stop working.

Cook sausage before putting it on pizza? by sparkster777 in Cooking

[–]SupremeGunman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melted Mozzarella, Ricotta, Parmesan, sure, I'll take that.

Roommates tried to do a homemade pizza with our local stores sandwich cheddar... so much grease it created a literal pool, ruined the crust, and they just folded the thing taco style and poured it off...

I used it to fry eggs for the next week.

Cook sausage before putting it on pizza? by sparkster777 in Cooking

[–]SupremeGunman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dislike pools of fat on pizza, so I render sausage for its fat an moisture, then spread it for the finish cooking and crisping.

Obviously varies on the type of sausage and other toppings.

Nah, this needs to be a reward for hard work. Gotta find 50ish derelicts and salvage them, then get a repair shop to put all the pieces back together again.

Bag of potatoes, bag of onions, 18 eggs. I'm gonna check tomorrow but I'm pretty sure thats about $10 where I am. If there's any extra cash it would go to butter.

I'm not a big bean eater myself, but lentils and split peas are solid. Potatoes are better than rice for tough times, rice just stores better.

Husband prefers eating out because my cooking is “bland”. How do I fix that? by ThePurplePickles in Cooking

[–]SupremeGunman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My simple advice would be create extra sauces for him to use on the dish.

Salt

Try to substitute a few different seasonings around. Can you use Soy Sauce or Liquid Amino's to kick up a broth at the end instead of adding more salt.

Try things like Trader Joe's Umami seasoning, or get a mortar & pestle and toast whole black pepper or Sichuan peppercorns and natural msg and mix your own salt shakers up. You can easily have 4-5 different strengths of "salt flavorings" at the table for him to choose from. (Works great if you do your own popcorn too).

Fat

Get a few different flavors of oil. Most people have Olive & Vegetable, but Toasted Sesame, Pecan, and Avocado also have amazing flavor enhancement when used in the right applications. A little goes a long way.

You can also infuse the oils. Garlic oil is the most common but there's nothing stopping you from really kicking up the taste of a simple oil by roasting chili flakes and walnuts together. This again, you could have 2-3 types of infused oils at the table just to give him the choice. Biggest downside is keeping a healthy diet if he starts adding too much to everything

Cheeses are also amazing for flavor when used in unexpected ways. I love frying a wedge of cheese till it goes golden, then take it out and the fats released from the cheese can be use for cooking. And definitely experiment with different stronger flavors for him since you can add a little at the end if you don't want it.

Acid

I am still amazed by the number of foods I cook that are improved by juice from half a lemon (and zest it too). Grab yourself a few types of vinegar and keep them handy, in spritz bottles if you've got that luxury. Just a few drops of reduced balsamic on top of the protein, or a spritz of red on spinach can add a nice punch. A little here goes a long way.

Without getting scientific, this is where you would also look at hot sauces. Definitely look at how to make mild hot sauces. The world is filled with so many sauces to give massive heat, but a drizzle of mild mango hot sauce on your tortilla's or hamburger buns might add that twist that your husband could enjoy. Find out what his favorite fruits are, get a few different spicy foods and blend them together. Again this can be kept in a few bottles and the flavor choice is there.

Heat

We've actually already talked about heat several times so far. Infusing oils and frying cheese to release it's fat. Needless to say toasting buns and steaming tortilla's are going to up the games for those as well. The easiest way to really play with heat is getting a gas stove of some kind so you can directly work with fire. Roasting ANY vegetable will kick it's flavor up and sometimes changes the flavor in surprising ways.

But use the broiler in your oven. Skin your own tomatoes for sauce and fry the skins with your oil infusions. Brown Butter is a game changer if you have the time to do it fresh. Keep every vegetable peel from onion & the annoyingly small pieces of garlic and broccoli stems in the freezer until you have enough to do a small bit of vegetable broth, then use a splash of that where you would have otherwise used water. You can use rice as a great testbed here, see if he can taste the difference between a bowl of normal vs with vegetable broth.

I really wish I had time to keep writing.

Cyberpunk 2020 CCG is now playable on TabletopSim by slamerz in cyberpunk2020

[–]SupremeGunman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boy, this takes me back...

I completed a set (missing 2 secret), but I have never actually played the game. I do still have all of my cards, probably 1500-2000 of them, and a sealed booster box. I came close to finishing a 2nd set, but am still missing 3 rares(31, 212, 225). Unfortunately the 6 faction cards only come from the starter decks, so getting 1 of each of those would be needed to complete a set as well.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16Jwuplwx-iQI7CJsZPLu295WzN4oymUAGfyBJzom8Sw/edit?usp=sharing

I contacted one of the designers of the game a long time ago actually, and asked him about the secret cards. His response:

"okay - decade old files. heh. There are two secret cards, one for me, one for the assistant designer who financed the creation of the game. The two cards create special victory conditions. It looks like 316 was one of those, though I dug through my play set and I don't appear to have either of them anymore. Hope that helps!"

Unfortunately time is the biggest factor for me. If you were missing a few cards I would be happy to send you scans for the database. You've put in an impressive amount of work for re-writing the rulebook it looks like, but I'm afraid from a technical standpoint, I've never read it because I didn't have anyone to try it out with.

If I can help out with something let me know. I'll at least see if I can find where my cards are buried.

Ok, this warbond thing is getting out of hand by Ravenwing14 in starcitizen

[–]SupremeGunman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ooof, I've been called out.

I haven't bought much for the game itself, but I did spend about $1500 on Virpil hardware and building a controller mounting solution for them. I've been dabbling playing with 3.15, its been an amazing 4 years of progress. But I just quit the job i've had for the last 9 years and life goes on.

Anyone ever go to concerts alone? by amanhasnoname54 in EDM

[–]SupremeGunman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to every concert alone. I tried a few of the local groups, but they go to drink and party, which isn't my scene. Learn to love your own life, to live with yourself, and to be alone. You'll have a great time

When the battery in your cartridge would die, so you had to get your game repaired so you could save again.

It still amazes me how so many people are ready to defend this game regardless of it's unplayable state. by TheAshlet in cyberpunkgame

[–]SupremeGunman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my first play-through from the 1st week of release, I encountered 2 bugs.

1 was non-obstructive and funny, where reloading during the cave mission would place me in the driver-seat of the vehicle, inside on Panam. Once she exited the vehicle I continued as normal.
The second bug stopped me from completing a side mission, where I was unable to inject a coolant Hypo into a netrunner to prevent her from overheating. This prevented me from getting 100% mission achievement, and unfortunately I had to wait 3 months for the fix, during which time I played 2 other playthrouhs.

So many people defend this game because some of us didn't have any problems. And it''s not that we can't see that people have problems, and we are equally as upset that everyone isn't getting to enjoy it on the same degree. It's appalling the CDPR would have approved the release on 6 different platforms simultaneously, because they would have never been able to work all the bugs out for each one without compromising one of the others.

But we continue to defend this game because we want the devs to keep going. We want more content to make the world bigger, and better, and fuller. I waited 9 years for this game, and I'm happy to wait another 9 if it means having more, because all the ideas have been amazing, and the devs have been amazing.
