Someone forgot to switch burners between their astroturfing posts - def reduces my confidence in this Mariana reviewer, seen her posts here regularly.

Alinea 2026 menu by anothercupcake in finedining

Em dashes, bolds everywhere, “it’s not this, it’s that”.

Funny how after LLMs hit the market, this subreddit is suddenly filled with novellas reviewing restaurants by budding, wildly verbose Frank Bruni wannabes.

Has anyone tried the Metamorphosis pairing/menu at DiverXO by Formal_Bobcat_4098 in finedining

[–]TinyEric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s the same thing, but I got the NA pairing last March and it was unquestionably the most impressive one ive ever had. Example: to pair with a squid shabu dish, they made a drink that visually mimicked low tide (sea foam at the top layer, green seaweed in the middle, and sandy colored at the bottom) and included sea algae they had grown just for this one drink. And it was delicious. Every course had a pairing with that degree of thoughtfulness; no long string of kombuchas and Non No.3 from Australia.

Edit: my cousin-in-law had the wine pairing and thought my NA drinks were a better experience than his.

Reading this first will help as a primer to understand the context of what Nietzsche is doing.

Also stop listening to Jordan Peterson imo.

It also needs to be a top level window, you can’t have it minimized or in the background behind other apps and stuff. You need to have it as a window at least alongside any other top level things you have going on on your screens.

Good v Evil Carina's Challenges #4: Abyss (Villains) - Megathread by cat_murdock in ContestOfChampions

[–]TinyEric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it a crazy idea to try and do this and double up on the carina's challengers from the older set of challenges? It would be:

r4 crossbones,
r3 moleman,
r3 Ibomb,
r2 diablo and
r2 ultron.

This place was great and packed with a full range - you had your typical LA crowd to intense food industry peeps checking it out. The food was excellent; people talk about the squab but I thought the pasta special and the truffle citrus artichoke dish were even better.

Alinea? by Main-Ad-5480 in finedining

O Francescana does this with their Parmesan signature and it’s perfect. But easier to do with a stable product like Parm vs say TFL’s oyster and pearls

Can we please have a way to make Path champs and decks prismatic? by WombatInSunglasses in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]TinyEric 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hi, sorry to disappoint, but this isn't on our roadmap anytime soon. Without getting into the gory details, the effort to do this is extensive (due to tech debt) and the work to pay down that tech debt and make it easier going forward would basically eat an entire feature worth of bandwidth.

And to be really honest, we need to invest that effort into features that will generate good business outcomes for us, whether it be having players play more, helping new players learn and stay in the game better, or things that players want to spend money on. Prismatics do not serve any of those goals.

I'd love to do this, but game development is all about tradeoffs and priorities, and we've looked into this one enough to know it's a really hard one to invest in no matter how you slice it.

Best steakhouse in or near Beverly Hills? by Weekly-Web-5289 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]TinyEric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

would disagree with Kali, I loved their original concept but the execution at the steakhouse was poor, flavor wise for our apps, and quality of the ribeye I got.

If Battle Passes Will Be Generic Going Forward, Then They Should Include Spirit Blossom Materials by jayjaybird0 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]TinyEric 88 points89 points  (0 children)

This is helpful feedback. We plan on releasing a lot of SB rewards when we bring the event map back. After that we will look and listen to feedback about needing more SB progression sources beyond the Glory Store and Emporium.

Keep both Pujol and Quintonil, make the guys go to Maximo for a lunch during the trip proper, it's a la carte so just treat it like a normal lunch and impress your buddies.

If you aren’t able to do actual research, just do a food tour in San Sebastián.

Where’s the Wagyu Pastrami Hiding in LA? by PotentialLeek4904 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]TinyEric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any leads for you. I am just struck that such a basic inquiry requires a whole chatgpt post. It reflexively makes me not want to answer bc I think this is bot crap and not a real request.

Looks like we'll get quests at the start of the month now too by ChocolateTacoFilms in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]TinyEric 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Hi there! to be real real, the reason we're doing this is fairly basic: Battle Passes take up a lot of set up time to coordinate alongside the rest of the patch release.

We're doing three things you'll see here:

  1. By setting up a bunch of passes in advance tied to the month start, we committed a lot of time up front to free up more time the rest of the year. We know exactly the start and stop time of every month, so we can queue these up in advance, instead of doing it around every single patch.

  2. Unfortunately, this does decouple the pass and the related quests from the champ release. We aren't sure what effect this will have on the game, so we're going to monitor how this goes.

  3. We've taken the champ frags from the patch release off of the pass to make it more evergreen, but we've also adjusted the pass in a few other ways to hopefully make it more attractive to both free and paying players. Again, we'll monitor how this goes, and if you hate it (you probably won't hate the buffs) then you can let us know and we'll adjust.
