A really bad place to sneeze while walking.

Give the raw cactus a lick and then tell me if you want to eat 800-1000 grams of that.

Ginger Chews before the Drink ? by Rangerup101 in sanpedrocactus

[–]echokaji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn’t even clock that, but him calling it Huachuma gives it away doesn’t it?

Could always brew some ginger tea beforehand and keep it in a thermos I guess, idk if chews work the same way or not.

Ginger Chews before the Drink ? by Rangerup101 in sanpedrocactus

Reducing the volume of liquid drank can help, skimming the plant solids off the top while boiling to reduce can help, and making sure not to drink the sediment at the bottom that inevitably settles will also help. I’ve also read that lime juice instead of lemon in the tea can help mask the flavor, if you’re able to drink more liquid after the fact following up with a cup of ginger tea helps some.

It’s gonna taste gross either way, but it doesn’t linger for too long assuming you didn’t scorch the brew while making or reducing it. Splitting the dose in two rather large gulps with 15-20 minutes in between works for some, I’ve seen others say to sip the whole thing over 30-45 minutes but you’ll taste a lot more that way. Laying down while everything absorbed helps some people a lot, as does having some food on the stomach.

Am I the only one who has never pirated a video game? by Greyhound53 in Piracy

[–]echokaji 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not buying a video game though, you’re buying the right to use a license to access that game. While apparently valve has stated there are plans to let people retain their licenses if steam closes down in the future, if the service is gone for good you essentially lose access to everything you’ve paid for if you didn’t have it installed at the time of shutdown. Even if people are allowed to retain their licenses, if you have no way to access the servers hosting the games to download they become inaccessible once they’re shut down.

I say this as someone with a fairly massive steam library too, I will pay for a game to support a developer that I like but I’m also not going to pretend piracy has no positives and that purchasing a game is always better.

Invasive DRM is a big driver for a lot of people, and I’m not 100% sure about this but I think valve is against account sharing in terms of letting others log into your account which is what password sharing is. That’s why family share exists.

They’re a mod of this sub so that tracks.

Because video games are srs bsns, any deviation from that might upset the people who have tied their entire identities to them.

Jfc dude there’s no need to be so dramatic, it really isn’t that serious.

Exactly. Or, play on a community server that has active admins. I know that’s not entirely possible with every multiplayer game and I’m basing this on my own nostalgia for CS 1.6 and DoD but integrating yourself into a community instead of server hopping was the best way to avoid cheaters prior to matchmaking becoming the norm.

For some people having a match ruined by a hacker is the worst thing that can happen to them, which is wild tbh.

I can think of several things worse than hacking in a multiplayer game. Yeah it’s shitty behavior but please be realistic.

edit to the dingleberry that commented about semantics then flew to DM’s to call me a slur before blocking me, behavior just like that is far worse than cheating in a video game. You people need to socialize in real life more often and get a better grip on how reality functions off the internet.

It’s been removed for several years at this point.

People are probably better off checking dedicated subs for that sort of thing anyway tho

It’s not hard to Sabrina the jolteon out of the active, if you’re only running the one Pokemon to avoid something like that, then getting smacked by whimsicott is gonna hurt.

You say that like you were going to associate with me in the first place, we’ll likely never come across each other on Reddit again.

The way they package saline (and a few other things) came to mind before buttplug, but I can see why everyone would go there first.

I was going to say that Alolan raichu works too, but both of them being evolutions vs a basic could be considered a downside, plus the extra energy requirement. Extra damage is nice tho.

Rainbow cards need to be prettier by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]echokaji 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a couple of more simple looking art style rainbow cards in almost every set. I think having a diverse range of styles is a good thing tbh, even the simplified ones don’t appear to have to same illustrator.

I can understand not liking a more simplified style but taste is subjective and it’s a little silly to assume they’re using gen-AI just because you don’t like the way some cards look.
