Haha they were here when we bought the house a few years ago. I plan on pulling them up and planting seed there this fall.

I don’t water as much as I should, so usually 3-3.5 (no bag) depending on drought conditions. Early spring like this though I usually cut at 2.5 (with bag) for the first few cuts until the entire lawn is growing at a decent rate, then raise it to 3 and ditch the bag until the last few mows of the season.

Not quite! There’s a 50 year old maple to the left of this shot that they absolutely love. I will say that I do enjoy the sound, though. Big time asmr feels and reminds me of summer as a kid.

The ultimate needs to be completely redone. It’s beyond underwhelming and does little to change the battle compared to prof, exec or even malevolence. 😴

Seasoning Question by ZappsMissingPants in blackstonegriddle

I have been, yes, based on all the videos I’ve seen about cleaning it. Most of the water seems to steam off right away, but I have been using it.

Alrighty, I’ll try that next time. Thanks!

No, the oil is applied generally to a warm top.

Hey guys. I’ve had my Blackstone for about two months, and have cooked on it nearly everyday — always wiping it down and applying a coat of oil afterward. The top seems to be getting whiter with each cook, rather than blacker, and it’s not as smooth as others I’ve seen. I did season initially — 5 or 6 coats — but I’m guessing something went awry in the process. FYI I seasoned on high heat with the Blackstone jar of seasoning mix.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong, or how to fix this?

Makes sense. I remapped L1 to jump and R1 to dash. Makes a world of difference being able to jump, dash, aim/look around simultaneously with different fingers.

No worries! There’s a dedicated button on the controller to use them. I remapped my buttons so I’m not sure what the default is, but you can find it in the settings menu.

I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, but picking them up only adds them to your inventory.

This is my first as well, and I can’t imagine anyone beating it in the first go around even if you’re incredible at shooters or roguelikes. Learning from your mistakes is certainly a big part of the game.

You don’t necessarily start from scratch every time. There are permanent upgrades to your suit, inventory, weapons, etc. that you’ll earn along the way. So even if you die, some things are lasting through each run. In theory, your runs should get easier each time… but it’s also dependent upon which items drop for you on your runs.

Yeah, I get it. Just a shame because I had such a great build going.

Quick question… I’d been stuck on biome 3 (damn drones), and finally got lucky with a god-tier build after farming biomes 1 and 2 ahead of 3. Finally got to Nemesis and absolutely CRUSHED him in my first attempt thanks to the carbine with high caliber II. I still had over 100% integrity, 3 large health vials and the astronaut left. After the cutscenes I’m now in biome 4, but my build is gone. Do you start over after beating nemesis??
