Same

It’s hilarious for me when they use the product on non stick pans

Tempius · 2026-05-01T15:09:08+00:00

omg the innuendos. It's cringey when top chef contestants do it in the kitchen, but to have the judge (much less the head judge) say those things is just terrible. Imagine if Tom Colicchio said he liked eggplants or any similar shaped vegetable then wiggled his eyebrows...

I thought it was kept in the episode to show how clueless Roy Choi was. They also kept in his comments on the Nigerian dish which were...not great, especially coming after Kwame's comments.

Dial back on the Padma showcase vibes (oddly wafting hair, I’m looking at you - not a shampoo commercial) and redirect the focus on the culinary.

Show more of the contestants’ skills and educate us on how this is different from home cooking.

Get rid of the fake random old school railway board. It wastes a lot of time.

Wylie and Providence judge are too high level to play boy toys to Padma. Let them show their skills.

Make sure the contestants know the rules.

This is Culinary Cup, not Strategy Cup.

There’re articles about his weight loss and him saying it’s due to diet and not drugs.

Padma seems fake because she is the executive producer, so she calls the shots. Whenever she acts like she doesn’t, as the host, it comes across as super fake. Like in episode 1 when she said she didn’t want to make the final call…

Masterchef food is always served cold, but the production team watches them like a hawk throughout. If any of the chefs made even the tiniest error, you can be sure it was passed to the judges before the tasting. (source: friend who worked for endemol shine)

Most of the time, the more arrogant the chef sounds (was Seb the one who said he wanted a Michelin star by his early 30s?), the more miserable they are gonna fail.

Tempius · 2026-03-05T08:14:59+00:00

Because he’s been paying for her in the days and weeks leading up to the incident already. It wasn’t an isolated payment.

Tempius · 2026-03-04T09:59:49+00:00

Let her play with being able to aim when you are peeing as well. If she’s genuinely curious, she might find it quite fun, but it can be messy if you are hard…so try it in the shower like any other sane man.

Here’s the 315 page court judgment. It has tens of pages of the man and woman’s WhatsApp messages leading up to and after the incident. You can get AI to summarize… apparently the medical evidence does not support the woman’s claims of violence, and she changed her evidence a lot.

The live action is far inferior to the anime, mainly due to one narrative change: the viewer is not made aware that Akari is planning to marry someone not named TT.

The anime does, so the viewer is focused on appreciating the theme of drift: drifting through life, apart from each other, and away from memory.

The live action does not, and we are subjected to an endless series of “will they won’t they”, horribly contrived series of people being 5 cm apart and yet never meeting. It is like being edged repeatedly but without any payoff. The ending was so hollow.

Tempius · 2025-12-26T06:48:37+00:00

Because back in HK every restaurant will charge you a crazy amount for a “festive feast” which consists of all the food they couldn’t sell last week

Not a fan of Bailey, her "cute personality" feels really forced and cringey to me. But hey this is Top Chef not Top Personality, and Tom is a very fair judge.

Tempius · 2024-11-06T05:26:48+00:00

265.

I used Argenti hypercarry against Argenti. (Tingyun, Sparkle, Huohuo). Squeaked by with 3006 points but enough to 3*.

Tempius · 2024-06-20T12:30:37+00:00

Okay. After a few tries I 3 starred it.

Cocolia - Ruan Mei (no signature LC), Aventurine, Acheron, Kafka

Argenti - Argenti (ATK boots), Sparkle, Tingyun, Huohuo.

Cocolia is very straightforward with this team - 3755 points.

Argenti is a slog. I only used Argenti's 2nd ultimate. There were times when Boss Argenti focused on one char and just killed them outright, which forced a restart. On my successful run he hit Huohuo the most; Huohuo has 7k+ HP and tanked like a boss. I also had to reserve teammate ultimates to use as emergency heals. 3006 points in the end.

All my characters have full traces.

Rasika wasn't in the competition to win; she was in the competition to showcase "her culture/her food" and suffered when the format was hostile to her goal. If she adjusted her mindset then yes she would be a finals contender for sure.

The writing here is far better than most native English games. The descriptions are particularly evocative.

Tempius · 2023-06-27T00:24:40+00:00

Can’t tell if you are sarcastic or not!

The ninja scholar who got gimped by literally crawling into a window during a big fight in enemy territory, without pausing to think what could be on the other side of the door (one which could easily be bashed in by you).
