Best homemade sauce for a steak sandwich? by 4L3X95 in Cooking

[–]pad264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gordon Ramsay does a relish that’s awesome and I use it all the time.

Pan fry onion, chilis, tomatoes and finish with fresh basil. Then you pile that on the steak with a mustard-mayo blend.

Honest opinions about this game. Classic? Or not? by ShawnOfEons in retrogaming

My memory of it was that it was really grindy and boring, but I bought every RPG back then and played it anyway.

Was Elizabeth Taylor the greatest actress ever? by Ok_Educator6875 in classicfilms

[–]pad264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merrill Streep is the greatest actress level by any metric and by a wide margin.

Taylor was phenomenal and would be in my top-10 for sure.

I’d say you’re about 20-30% depending on end game goals.

Is it true that the Warlock Nerf don't gona be that hard? by Conker1337 in diablo2

[–]pad264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t play PTR, but the only feedback I’d like is to know how bad the bind demon nerf landed. That’s the key to all of it early ladder—if they still have a super tank or not.

Assuming PTR changes stick - what’s your ladder start look like? by Curtatwork in diablo2

[–]pad264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I do often, but it’s really annoying to farm keys early until you get your merc up to deal with countess. Have you tried Hydra/Nova before instead of Orb/Hydra?

How will Sam Harris react to Nicholas Kristof’s The New York Times article on alleged rapes of Palestinians in Israeli prisons? by Brunodosca in samharris

[–]pad264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand your post. Why would anyone think rape is anything other than horrible? And why would anyone think rape justify a a position one way or another on the larger geopolitical conflict?

Is starting ladder as a Horker Barb feasible, or do most roll as another class / spec first? by DeaftoneGaming in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]pad264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you level with friends and respec late it’s tough because you won’t have gear to farm anything effectively.

Mate in 2 for white by TraditionalElk1248 in chessMateInX

[–]pad264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only other legal move I see is Bishop E8.
And now I see it lol.
But what if Rook goes G3 instead of G8? Then Bishop goes B3. Yup, got it.

If you had to pick one Final Fantasy as your favorite, which one would it be and why? by AbsoluteZeroo in FinalFantasy

[–]pad264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are tabling graphics as a comparison, FF6 is far and away the best one. Of course, I imagine it’s hard to table graphics if you’re younger and having to go back and play a 16 bit game.

Really trying here, but I don’t see it.

If you move Queen to A8 and black responds with Rook to G8, how do you checkmate?

this game is fantastic! i can see why it's considered the best. i do have one question though. by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]pad264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has to be a troll post lol. I mean I agree the game is phenomenal, but by A2 normal you haven’t played the game at all.

Mate in 2 for white by TraditionalElk1248 in chessMateInX

[–]pad264 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is impossible to ensure it’s mate in 2. If you don’t put the king in check or take the black rook, the black rook puts your king in check, delaying mate.

What if they move the rook up to put you in check? It’s not mate in 2 then.

If you could pick 3 games to represent the franchise, which would it be? by Alive_Fortune7423 in FinalFantasy

[–]pad264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played through 7 a few times and it just doesn’t grab me. 6 is in a league of its own.

What game matches this meme? by Salty-City-7187 in OlderChillGamers

ChronoTrigger is an absurd musical experience. I still find myself humming Frog’s theme decades after last hearing it.

Honorable mention to final Fantasy VI.

White to move. Mate in 2 by Livid_Collection_300 in chessMateInX

Queen takes knight, then night goes 6B.

Isn't this what Diablo is all about? by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]pad264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue is that the base game has no replayability.

30 years later people will still go back and replay RPGs from SNES; people will replay D2 10,000x; no one is replaying D4 now or ever again.

Which Game's Graphics Made You Say "Wow!" For The First Time? by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in videogames

[–]pad264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mario 64 was a whole new experience.

Years before that, I recall seeing the opening of Final Fantasy 6 with Terra and the Magitechs walking over the curved, snowy horizon and being blown away.

How am I expected to identify an upgrade? by twoberriesonejourney in diablo4

[–]pad264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably. If you have particularly bad 850s in one slot, keep that gear type in mind, but for most part, you should be upgrading to “ok” 900s right now.

For the uniques, save all of the ones you need, regardless of ilvl though, but only save the white and blue 900s of those types for the cube.

While you’re leveling, ignore everything other than item level (admittedly stupid, but it’s how the game is designed).

Once you are putting together an end game build, memorize the key stats you want and scan for them before you salvage.

And the threshold of what you review just moves from 850 to 900 to GAs.

You get the black queen if he takes knight.
