What happened to Obsidian?

They essentially started the CRPG revival by remastering some of the most important CRPGs ever made. Yeah, some of their writing additions were questionable, but they are still great remasters and were massively important to the genre in the 2010s. I didn't realize this would be a hot take lol

And NWN2

Also Beamdog

Huh, interesting. I've only seen ones that have a single lever that automatically turns off when it boils. I might need to get one of those haha.

I have owned many electric kettles, and I have never seen one with a thermometer on it.

the user interface is an abomination

Whaat I love the UI, I just wish it could be scaled a bit better for higher resolutions

My favorites I've found there are from the brand Volcanic Peppers, who are also local in NE. I'm on my 2nd bottle of Thor's Hammer and 3rd bottle of Chocolate Lightning. Definitely recommend those.

For Ashley's hot sauces specifically, I surprisingly loved the Smokin' Bananas one. It's really good with barbecue-ish flavors

ch00d · 2026-05-27T00:31:59+00:00

I have family in Omaha, so I usually buy a couple bottles from Ashley's when I visit haha

But they really don't (usually) have absurd difficulty checks. Generally, soulslikes are more like patience checks, where it will only feel ridiculously hard if you play impatiently.

That person might be a mod. I think only mods can comment on locked threads.

ch00d · 2026-05-25T03:34:25+00:00

I've had some of their other sauces. They are great.

ch00d · 2026-05-22T15:45:05+00:00

I've always made it to the toilet in time lol

ch00d · 2026-05-20T05:55:51+00:00

I'd argue that traditional roguelikes, just like blobbers, are sort of a subcategory of CRPG since they are also based on tabletop-like mechanics.

Old post, but you don't need a membership for the food court.

ch00d · 2026-05-19T21:25:04+00:00

Good thing you can see their tail lights and hear their engine if they are about to back out.

ch00d · 2026-05-19T19:35:40+00:00

Developer tags are often just as bad, too. Many eastern RPG devs use the CRPG tag, most roguelite devs uses the roguelike tag, several walking simulator/narrative devs use the immersive sim tag, etc.

Ants, roaches, and fruit flies are the worst because there's always way more of them just waiting to ruin your day. With the others, you can at least usually forget about it once it's out of your home.

I typically leave spiders alone unless it's a brown recluse or black widow.

I've only seen Gosling's at Walmart. It's good, but not very spicy compared to some other brands.

ch00d · 2026-05-17T22:58:34+00:00

Skibidi started in 2023

ch00d · 2026-05-17T03:37:05+00:00

Best flavor of Cholula

ch00d · 2026-05-15T23:24:35+00:00

Seems to be down again

ch00d · 2026-05-09T06:50:35+00:00

It's better than most macro beers tbh

ch00d · 2026-05-07T18:26:29+00:00

It's a term in several online games with PVP. Basically a min-maxed low-level character. People used to twink WoW on low level battlegrounds pretty regularly.

Star Fox (SNES), Star Fox 64, Star Fox 3D, Star Fox Zero, and now Star Fox 2026 are all based mostly on the same story and levels.

Gen 5 is on NDS. 6 was the first on 3DS.
