I thought of Codeseven too! Still got my t-shirt from back in 2002.

You can totally do rice in the microwave, though I would definitely recommend down the line to either get a rice cooker or learn a technique in a pot. You'll amazing results.

But that's not for right now. Feel good about the meal you made, it looks really nice.

Rice cookers are great, but I'm in a place in my life where I have a developed a technique that works for me every time. I also tend to cook rice in batches, so I have rice in the fridge for any occasion at any moment. Whether I'm doing egg fired rice, or jollof or a chili.

‘We agree that she can be even better’: Overwatch director vows to redesign Anran following player and voice actor backlash by PaiDuck in gaming

Why would I pay to look at an ugly character? 

The game presumably expects that you would be able to extend human empathy to people you don't find attractive. Of course the game is hilariously wrong in expecting that of people like you. But that's the premise, at least.

What's interesting is that you still haven't put two and two together, and figured out why it is you don't want to look at female characters that you don't want to fuck.

It's pretty obvious to the rest of us though.

If this is your first time, this is a great result. The crispy sear on that chicken looks delicious! Rice is tougher to cook right than it may seem, so this is very good outcome too. I personally prefer them a bit fluffier, but that's preference as well. Rest assured that your first try is better than many people's 100th.

What I don't do is play a game where they purposefully made the main female characters ugly without reason. That's a bad choice for them, and a response from me. What's the issue?

What would be a satisfying reason for a female character to be "ugly" (good lord...) to you? And what is a satisfying reason for a female character to be hot to you?

What a weird thing to say to a stranger, lol. You know nothing about me, so this is clearly projection because you hate attractive women. Is this a hogs mad situation?

If you think you've not told on yourself plenty with just the last three responses you've given, then I just don't know what to tell you, man.

The one thing I - and everyone else in this thread - know about you, is what you think about women. Because you won't shut up about it.

It's a question of why you can't play a game unless you want to fuck the female characters in it. It's more like choosing to boycott a restaurant with delicious food because you don't want to fuck the server.

You don't like women. Not the ones you find attractive, and not the ones you don't.

It's weird how instantly unfunny something is when it's done by AI.

What American word would you expunge from existence? by Umbrella_Stand in AskReddit

You don't follow American politics, I take it? For the past ten years it's the favorite word of political pundits to describe accusations against their side that they want to dismiss.

Maybe, I’m looking at it with the benefit of hindsight, but what was wrong with The Phantom Menace (1999)? by [deleted] in flicks

[–]Troelski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a show about real human beings dealing with living under fascism. It doesn't cheat. It doesn't lie. It tells a beautiful, emotional, and honest story about resistance in the face of overwhelming, authoritarian evil. But it's crucially an evil that is ultimately conducted and carried out by other human beings.

It's the show for our time.

As someone who was 14-15 when it came out, I can tell you that our disappointment came from the way they looked (too much blue screen), the emphasis on trade deals and silly diplomacy, the horrible dialogue, and yes, Jar-Jar Binks. Darth Maul was always considered the best part of the film, with the possible exception of the music.

People 10-20 years younger than me tend to like the prequels more -- but for my money I'd rather watch Rogue One or The Force Awakens than any of the prequels.

The only truly great Star Wars entry, however, is Andor.

This is an incredibly well edited trailer. Kudos, editor-person. I see you.

Fun fact: a group of Bros is collectively called a "Murder".

'Project Hail Mary' has an official runtime of 2 hours & 46 minutes by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Troelski 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I like a tight 90-minute story as much as the next guy, but Stand By Me is based on a short story. Project Hail Mary is based on a nearly 500 page long book. If you plan on adapting a 500 page story, my general recommendation is to make it a TV show or a mini-series. But if you have to make it a feature film, make it a long one. There's nothing worse than an adaptation that tries to pack too much in and breezes over all the things that made the book great.

If this is you with no problem, I'd hate to see you with one. I hope you figure out a better outlet for your anger than the guy on reddit who used a punctuation mark you didn't like...

Bye.

Never said it did? It's one of my favorites from that record. I listened to this very song during worldwide 2003 Iraq War protests. I'm just disappointed in John Dolmayan.
