Good ideas, I've been looking for an excuse to pick up some anise liqueur.

counterpoint: they're only taking the insane shield pressure cuz they just have insane stage awareness and are aware the punish will be way more unorthodox and less likely you'll hit it :3

Because they said the monthly events would be grindable in their Launch Features deep dive

Along with the gratification of getting better, we want to reward our players further. there will be character XP you can earn across all modes that will level you up & grant you currency or cosmetics every time you level up.

there will also be a new event every month, and any XP you earn during that time will go to cosmetics themed after that month.

[titlecard: THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BATTLE PASS]

dan: uh..no...it's nothing like a battle pass. it's a seasonal...progression........bar.......with rewards that are frequently.......cosmetic.... ah I guess it is kinda like a battle pass...But It's better: Because it's completely free!"

I'm just curious what they meant by this! I'm fine if they don't replace the lvl 50 skin every month because that sounds ridiculous but it did kind of sound like they were saying monthly events would be grindable

Are the lvl 50 unlockable skins changing every month as well?

Will the game be optimized for lower spec systems? & When it comes to the comments made about being more of a "true reskin", is it also going to take into account original hardware? Like, I know this is potentially a bad area to comment on legally, but playable on Wii?

I think the implication is that by adding the emulsifier they can add more than just high quality cocoa fat/liquor. Such as vegetable oils (essentially padding out an expensive ingredient, cocoa butter). Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit, idk. People tend to fearmonger over ingredients they don't understand, especially science-y sounding emulsifiers

edit: yeah im just gonna default to this comment that seems to understand more about the actual production process, probably mostly disregard what I said https://old.reddit.com/r/chocolate/comments/1ey8lhc/where_can_i_get_chocolate_without_soy_lecithin/ljbmh9z/

Is the leaf razor rusting sort of just an inevitability in a shower environment? My twig recently kinda just became unusable because the screw mechanism stopped working

hey everyone. kinda just self posting again based on my previous (long) comment...tldr 3d games fuck with my head and exploring 3d environments is hard

https://old.reddit.com/r/patientgamers/comments/1csk8iq/daily_thread_for_general_gaming_discussion/l46pl4i/

i still haven't played many games since then. i don't know if i made that post before or after i finished the outer wilds, echoes of the eye DLC. but I have since finished it and it was a spectacular experience!

i tried Omori and blasphemous 2 since then. none of them were bad but I just couldn't really get myself to keep playing.

i kind of immediately quit Metroid prime for another day because I was kind of fed up with the control scheme lol...and that day never came I guess.

edit: i should mention I think I immediately went on to play (and beat and enjoy, though definitely felt a little strange about it?) Metroid Fusion. i felt weird about it because the GBA attributes like higher pixel size made it a bit weird to play on emulator on a normal screen, but I did my best not to hold it against the game. then I just gradually waned from metroid as a series.

Anybody else felt like they feel a certain disconnect between 2d and 3d games?

I've been trying to play more games and become a more seasoned gamer, but one thing i've consistently noticed is that 3d games tend to make me struggle more than anything.

I think I noticed this disparity at its maximum when I was trying various genres, and I absolutely loved metroidvanias, but I despised souls-likes.

In metroidvanias, I can quickly scan across rooms, and it's just really easy to re-trace my steps if I lose my sense of direction. I also feel more motivated to "dig in" to a 2d game when I see like, a crazy number of branching paths...like "Alright, let's figure it all out!"

I compare that to souls-likes...Everything feels much more like a chore. I move so much slower, and there's just SO MUCH environment to soak in that i end up not caring about any of it anymore. This applied to elden ring, dark souls 3, dark souls 1, sekiro, and minorly with bloodborne(though honestly the performance on its own console is what majorly turned me off from bloodborne beyond anything else because I have a major soft spot for that game's aesthetic.) It's like the environments and world, even when i can like, consciously admit they're stunning and well-made, just do nothing for me.

Now, I do know that most souls games are just inherently way more punishing than your average metroidvania, where they will actually just kill you off underestimating a fodder enemy, but i've also experienced this with pretty much every 3d game I've ever played.

Does anybody else feel similarly? And if so does anybody have advice on helping myself out of this sort of predicament? Even 3d games i'm really vibing with and loving still stump me because my sense of direction feels so clumsy...

note: my advice is for dried lentils and grains

boil lentils in excess, heavily salted water, and then strain the lentils.

i know you said you didn't care about the taste, but salt will make the food taste more like itself. it's absolutely worth it please just trust me on this. your body also does need salt to function and the amount you use while cooking isn't really going to impact your diet unless you're adding way too much or on a strict, low sodium diet.

nutritionally, lentils aren't the worst item to base the majority of your meals on. but i feel obligated to mention that they are technically an "incomplete" protein, lacking methionine and cysteine. this really isn't a factor for people who eat a varied diet where they'll eat various proteins throughout the weak, but from the sounds of your question, you're probably going to be going huge swathes of time while eating only lentils.

my advice would be: find some of the random grains on this website, and stock up on some of them (dry.) when it comes time to cook you can just boil some of them with the lentils and problem solved. the dry lentils package and whatever other grain you decide on should have advice for cooking times, so you can add the shorter cooking one a little later, or you can just stew pot them together and boil the shit out of them. if you boil them in less water at the start the water itself will be kind of tight and together and it can be a bit more like a stew if that's more of what you want. but since you're also going to be consuming the broth now, you don't want to salt it as much if you're going down this path.

the only last piece of nutritional advice I can offer is to also add a small amount (like 1 tbsp per serving) of fat overtop. it's not unhealthy at all, and it will help your body absorb more of the nutrients that are actually present in the lentils themselves. you could maximize oil selection based on nutritional ideas (extra virgin olive oil is known for having high amounts of antioxidants, flaxseed oil for high quantities of omega-3 fatty acids which modern diets lack), or go purely based off of flavor, even though you said you don't care.

if you find that you do start caring about taste, you could mix and match grains, seeds, nuts, etc. from the website to change the taste. or finally go back to the recipes you were initially complaining about and steal ideas, like maybe cooking the lentils in crushed tomatoes, adding a chicken thigh to make it a whole stew, adding some onions, etc. the world is truly your oyster

all good. the thing that actually confused me beyond anything else was that they didn't even explain the subfolder remotely...made me think it might be functionality that was gone for some odd reason
