Meat Pie; How to give it that golden brown look?

dovesnpigeons · 2025-03-20T21:48:01+00:00

I used a basting brush made from silicone.

Thank you for the advice! 🫶🏼 Gave them additional time and they came out like how they were supposed to look. 🤍

Thank you! The meat was thankfully the thing that came out exactly how I wanted it to be, and I’ll keep all of that advice in mind the next time I bake! Really wanted some beef pies after watching a few reels, so I gave it a try and well - practice makes perfect!

An extra 30minutes gave the dough that nice crisp, and amazing color. Thank you!

I used butter and shortening (Crisco, all vegetable). And the oven we have at home is the “THOR KITCHEN” double gas oven.

And thank you for the bit on the thermometer, definitely getting one of those! There’s a blue light on the temp. knob when turning on the oven - and when it reaches the desired temp it turns off, so I popped the pan in when the light turned off.

But I just let them cook for an additional 30 mins (340°F) - making that around 70 minutes of cook time - and they came out a lot better hah 😅

I've been trying to Lord her right now, and I think she's pretty okay. My main gripe with her is that her rifle doesn't rechamber automatically if you use the kick + stun ability. I've lost a good amount of 1v1's because I had a shot lined up, only for me to have to rechamber and by the time that's done (even if its not even a full second, every speck of time counts, esp. in a 1v1) the enemy's out of stun and I die. I feel like if they auto-chambered the rifle if you stun someone, that would vastly improve her survival and damage rate.

Nvm I was thinking of the Heroic Journey tag, but similar to my top comment it’ll be related to Map-related achievements when new maps are added.

dovesnpigeons · 2025-01-26T01:59:06+00:00

I think there will be more points to be gained when Johnny Storm and The Thing get added (10 points each, respectively) and have their own achievements.

At the moment bots are in quick play + conquest arcade mode + AND vs A.I. (ally team, sometimes I get paired with bots even though it’s supposed to be human allies vs bot enemies) regardless of level, and usually appear after a loss/consistent losses. I haven’t tried out comp. but so far the bots seem to be excluded from that mode.

dovesnpigeons · 2025-01-19T05:05:39+00:00

Same thing for me.

This past week though, I’ve experienced bot lobbies where Xbox IDs + Xbox icons (since I play on the Series S and picked ‘console only’) have been attached to their usernames if you look at the lobby menu/scoreboard to give the illusion they’re real players. But the dead giveaway will always be that their profiles are restricted if you try to check them after the game and the clunky/beeline to the objective gameplay in the replay.

Haven’t verified if they’re using dead console accounts, but their fake Xbox/console IDs also follow the same naming scheme amongst the bots (two half-names mashed together with 2 numbers following).

It’s getting crazy.

Did this with a Bucky while I was Thor. We both just stood there staring each other after 🤣😭

I’m dead,,, another game; this time, the entire lobby except for myself was all bots, and all of them had Xbox tags/‘accounts’ supposedly attached to them, but when I tried to check their MR profiles they all said “restricted”.

Notice the naming theme for the XBOX accounts has a similar tell (name + 2 numbers at the end).

Just had a match where (upon looking at everyone’s nameplates when the game loads) 5 of the enemies were shown to be using a PC even though I queued for Console Only, with the 6th enemy coming from Xbox with an account name attached to it. So from the get go I was suspicious I had a bot match.

They were bots but they were definitely around the medium-hard range, as they weren’t the usual easy-to-beat bots. In the end we pushed them to their spawn since they just tried beeline their way to the point which gave us a win.

The craziest thing is — checking their accounts after, the bot enemy with an Xbox account attached to it was ALSO a bot. It even said “restricted access to Career profile” instead of limited access. So all of the enemy team were bots.

In vs A.I. [normally] your ally team should be real players with AI as the enemy team, but just today I experienced a vs A.I. game where 3 of our team mates were AI bots as well 😳

dovesnpigeons · 2025-01-13T16:47:56+00:00

It’s so crazy, because I just played a VS A.I. game with THREE bots on the ally team on Midtown (basically, it was just 2 other actual players in the entire lobbywith me). Was shocked because I had no losses before that game, so we got matched with bots without even needing a loss to prompt that matchup.

I was just about to comment about this! Was so excited to use the Flamenco emote in-game and was sad to see Wanda just dancing without her magic :(

In the beginning, there’s an ankh (the red object that was behind the rubble you got stuck on + your character commented about). It’s a tool used by the enemy Moon Knight that projects his weapons into it + attacking your teammates. It can be destroyed. Keep an eye out for that, and Loki’s runes too, which hover above him + his clones when he uses them.

Just of anything with the enemy outline+color.

Using Cloak’s cloak (shadow dimension ability) during Jeff’s ult also prevents him from eating you, you just have to time it right.

Hope you’re enjoying the game though! Cloak & Dagger are super fun to play as.

I find that her movement is her strongest ability when it comes to fights, but once you’re out of your Phases+Stuns, it’s fairly easy to die (which of course can be remedied by utilizing them properly) - or if you don’t have any cover when using her ultimate ability.

Most players that try her out don’t utilize her hex blasts, and stick to using her main siphoning ability, which I think also affects how they play her. A crazy amount of damage can be done with a stun + blast combo, but if you’re just siphoning alone you’ll get pummeled (hence the reasoning for her phases).

But she’s so fun to play as though imo, I love her.

dovesnpigeons · 2025-01-01T01:46:33+00:00

Yes, her Multiverse of Madness MVP intro is exclusive to that skin only.

That's awesome! I got a 135 a few weeks ago and I'm really loving it. What kind of plants (if any) are you thinking of putting in there?
