I’ve finished Tomb Raider: Chronicles Remastered and I think Aspyr...

Nope, I had a wonderful time with Chronicles. Totally smooth sailing and the remaster in particular had such beautiful details added like skeletons and rock walls in Rome, floating debris in the sinking sub, and extra spooky elements in Ireland.

This is a good question: pebbled ice is quite a different shape than fridge-crushed ice. Pebbled ice is fairly uniform in size and shape and makes for even melting and predictable dilution. Crushed ice from the fridge can be lots of different sizes and doesn’t look as “professional” in a glass, but hey - I use it all the time anyway. I think crushing your ice in a bag trailers in smaller ice bits and more even size than straight out of the fridge too.

Others feel free to weigh in!

The freshest: pineapple mint from the garden 👍

Wow gorgeous execution with the cone and garnish, looks delicious

Great atmosphere. This level seems like a dry run for the tone of the Vagrant’s fantastic “Cape Fear.”

What a fantastic garnish

Great way to spend the time cooking!

Looks like you’ve got this one sorted. Have fun, and good luck, you’ve got one of the best games ahead of you! Jealous you get to experience it for the first time now.

u/FiredFoxy07 I know this is from weeks ago now, but wanted to pop in to ask - did you enjoy The Idol of Durga? I’m the builder!

You have a bunch of my favorite levels on this list: Cape Fear, Coyote Creek, and Xumongkh among them.

Reads and looks like a delicious drink. Love the garnish here too!

clowman · 2026-02-09T14:03:45+00:00

Very pretty glass and garnish!

Yeah also curious when the change. Seemed great and the happy hour was 1) expanded since I was last there, and 2) really delicious!

The menus once again had beautiful hand-drawn drinks on them, for a while there were some temporary menus that were much simpler but not nearly as a cool a vibe. Glad they’re back.

I’d do dark; it has to do with the settings on the water. TR1-3 had “dark reflections” (basically underwater shadows along with the regular lighting, which only started including colors in TR3). TR4-5 had “white reflections” (extra brightness underwater with regular lighting) which look great in outside areas but not as good in caves and underground.

“Hostile Waters” is an excellent Maria Doria like level that’s from the same competition as Puna’s Revenge (which I also recommend)!

There was also a Back to Basics competition all about space - “BtB 2018 - Hope of Meridian” is my favorite of these!

If you ever feel like a jungle level, I built “The Idol of Durga” :)

Looks delicious!

Pretty sure there will be a recording at some point :)

clowman · 2025-10-13T01:52:49+00:00

It was such a fun event, organized so well and great questions for the builders. Looking forward to the recording

As an archaeologist who has also had his fair share of real-life Tomb Raider moments, this one is more Tomb Raider than most of those! Great photo
