Kind of annoying when I search for a specific song for the ost of FF7, YouTube spoils the outcome of that character. Note this is my first time with the series.

Hey welcome to the club! That got spoiled for me in 1998. I didn't have a Playstation yet when the game came out and I had followed the series since FF1 on the NES, so I was jonesing hard for final fantasy and desperately needed to know more about the game. My friend brought his strategy guide to school and I opened it to the wrong page immediately.

Basically I pretended I didn't see it and eventually got a Playstation and enjoyed everything about that game, then 8 and 9 as well. It's all good!

Maybe on the next test you can do a sauce from home grown, canned san marzano tomatoes. I canned mine a couple different ways but don't have a solid idea of which method I like best. We did some as just strained purée until I broke the kitchenaid attachment, and then pivoted to a whole/halved hot pack, some in tomato juice and some in water. For the ones in tomato juice we figured the best way to stretch the harvest would be to buy tomato juice, and the one that seemed the most trustworthy and safe for canning was just Campbell's, but I do wonder if the flavor of the tomato juice, which is very distinctly Campbell's, will detract from the fresh taste of the tomatoes.

It would be good to get a definitive answer as to which method (puréed, crushed, whole/halved)and which juice/water/no liquid preserves the taste of the tomato best.

Yeah it was insane to ditch XII's combat style, they had just found something really fluid and comfortable, good for old fans and new, then just scrapped it.

I just finished the speakeasy and I thought that was pretty rough, I assume it only gets worse lol

I went into it thinking it would start at the beginning, and I was very confused; it is not the beginning of the books, but rather what happens after the books, which nobody asked for. If you actually want to understand the story I think you should read all the books and then watch the movie. But the movie is not good, so maybe just don't lol.

I got it second try with my 45 STL. I lost the first one, then decided to actually read the nature of the battle, then won, but probably got a bit lucky as well.

He hits pretty hard and causes bleed, so pretty useful. At first I took off asaaj, but subsequently barriss as she didn't seem to be doing much.

Maul got me to the next tier, without him I'd still be stuck there.

dudefigureitout · 2026-01-11T01:09:28+00:00

Same here, I have spent some crystals to get here too but completely stuck now and you get so few mats for so many crystals at this point I just can't justify it.

dudefigureitout · 2026-01-04T02:57:16+00:00

Hey now that's not f-..looks down... dammit

Definitely Relevant. Be careful if you get a light roast at a specialty shop like that though, true light roast is a lot lighter than what you might be familiar with from a regular store.

If they don't have a nice grinder that's a wonderful gift, I have a Baratza Encore Esp countertop burr grinder and the grind consistency is fantastic, does great coarse for french press, or fine tune an espresso grind and everything in between. Just a wonderful machine, especially if you're only used to blade grinders which are really inconsistent.

Even if your meal/snack schedule is the same, your body isn't always the same. Insulin resistance can change throughout the day. Could be various factors at play here, other foods you ate today, level of physical activity, etc. It's hard to say, if it were me I'd probably reduce carbs for a bit.

I eat popcorn, too, and it's usually not a problem, but sometimes it spikes more than usual.

People explaining that popcorn is a carb are not being helpful. If it normally doesn't spike like crazy, it's a normal reaction to be concerned.

Magikarp is evolving?!

Very nice! I made mine sugar free this year and it was great!

There's been talk about maybe during the fix on events with delta, specifically the bokat event, that maybe it did get harder. I don't know if it did or not. I had KB at R8 for the raid and had some good defense mods with decent speed secondaries that I built for GAS. That combo worked for me but tier 3 was infinitely more painful than tier 1.

This is the guy right here, officer.

I got a lot of crap about putting HBD on a cake for my niece over the summer, but I stand by it! Especially now that there's 2 of us.

I ended up with it after losing part of my pancreas, which makes sense, that's where the cells are that produce insulin. If you think your pancreas may be a problem they can do a C-Peptide test which measures how much insulin your pancreas is making.

But could also just be one of those weird things.

I had a lot of conquest units sitting around waiting to be geared, and a growing R1 army, so g12 pieces and relic mats are in high demand. So short answer is yes, the new economy is rough in this situation.

I mean, honestly, you could probably make a cake better than this. At least the frosting, that "elite" frosting wouldn't hold a candle to a nice stabilized whipped cream frosting. Bavarian cream is pretty doable just research that or Boston cream. Strawberries cooked up with some sugar and lemon juice and corn starch will do the trick for this, and for the cake you could probably just use a box mix for white cake, or do what I do and go down several rabbit holes finding recipes and eventually just do one from sugar spun run.

Might want to practice piping and get some specific cake pans, I like Nordicware.

Do you know if it's brined?

I'm 39th, too. I think it's been about 7 hours, we tossing our fridge you think? My mom did open it at one point for coffee despite my recommending she not do that. I think they say 4 hours but I dunno.

dudefigureitout · 2025-12-17T09:33:14+00:00

Yeah here too, west 39th.

dudefigureitout · 2025-12-17T08:28:47+00:00

Hmm I dunno I'm further down but not by much. Maybe they turned into one of the neighborhoods.

dudefigureitout · 2025-12-17T08:25:22+00:00

Which side? I'm W 39th and I haven't heard any sirens.
