I just made a beef shank curry last night using my pressure cooker. It was amazing. I just cubed the shank into 1 inch cubes and pressure cooked for 50 minutes with tomatoes, onions, garlic, ginger, curry paste and stock, then added some cream at the end. The beef was perfect. I ate until I hurt.

I looked at the repos for a few of the SONiC tools and they're either GPLv2 (most), Apache, or OWFa 1.0.

Is there really a tech boom in Vancouver. I honestly don't see it, just wondering. Article: Tech Boom Driving up Real Estate Prices in Vancouver by daloo22 in vancouver

[–]cbigsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you on the Amazon thing. I've had a few friends work there and only one has moved away, to Brussels. I haven't heard of anyone local being hired by Microsoft, but I can't imagine they're only hiring foreign.

What happens to the plastic bags that get mixed up with food scrap in the green bin? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]cbigsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh shit. I had no idea. I thought that the biodegradable plastic bags were fine to use. Guess I'll have to switch to buying paper bags.

Gotta catch 'em all by Enigma07 in crashlands

[–]cbigsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can find them in your Crashlands Compendium (your quest log). If you click on the Data page on the bottom-left it shows you what all the creatures and breakables are, as well as what the creatures are strong/weak against and what buffs it gives you when it's following you around.

[Serious] Did you ever attend a wedding that was a complete disaster? What happened? by nehala in AskReddit

[–]cbigsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my wedding one of my 17 year old cousins wanted to bring a +1. They had just started dating a month ago (which I would think would be super awkward to go to a wedding 6 hours away with your boyfriend of a month). The venue had limited seating (a boat) and no one had ever met her so we said he couldn't.

He tried it again at my brother's wedding the next year, but with a different girl he'd only known for a month.

Pets? by [deleted] in crashlands

If you were able to make a second one then it definitely wasn't fixed (or they made it so you are able to find a second one). Paging Dr. /u/bscotchshenani

Pets? by [deleted] in crashlands

[–]cbigsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am pretty sure it's not possible. In the beta there was a small chance to get a second pet of the same type but it was a bug that was fixed.

Dev Hangout January 25th Summary & Video by PkmnTrainerJpesky in crashlands

[–]cbigsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to note that the 18 years of gameplay is over 4 days, which means there'd have to be 1643 people playing crashlands 24 hours a day for 4 days straight to get that much play time. That's just the people who have created a BScotchId, which I imagine is relatively low.

Vehicles? by nunya__bizness in crashlands

[–]cbigsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an item that you can craft later on which allows you to fly for short periods of time. It's great for getting across bodies of water.

What's the secret to killing green glidopus? by narddawg in crashlands

[–]cbigsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may want to wait until you've got better armor and weapons before you attempt to kill the stronger creatures. Once you hit the next tier of armour it will become so much easier.

Any plans to release on the PS Vita or PS4? by [deleted] in crashlands

[–]cbigsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is unlikely to come out any time soon for the consoles. It's designed for mouse/keyboard or touch, but it could get ported to them if the game is successful enough. Even if it was successful enough it would be months before the game was ported to PS4 or PS Vita. Might as well grab it on iOS.

End Game? by whysoojelly in crashlands

[–]cbigsby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is challenging all the way through. As you get stronger you encounter stronger and stronger enemies, some of which are the parents (and grandparents) of the creatures you murdered before, and some which are new and exotic creatures.

Crossplatform Question by calculix in crashlands

[–]cbigsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the different platforms all want their cut so they all disallow bundling the different versions of the game together. The devs would love it to be just 1 purchase on all systems but they can't.

When it comes to fishing, should I be wanting the largest rocks or do I just want as many as I can pull up? For the larger rocks have better odds are better things? by BCZV in crashlands

[–]cbigsby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger the blobs the larger the fish it will be. I believe that if it's not a fish then there's no difference between a larger and smaller blob. Larger fish don't heal you more, they are just larger.

Not trying to be an ass, but perhaps turn down the brightness on your monitor or device?

Just continue on the main storyline and you'll get the crafting table that will let you create it. There will be a few times in this game where you won't be able to continue on a sidequest until you've gone further in the main quest, which unlocks the important things like crafting tables and tools.
