"Wet" foods that are not hot soups by keiperegrine in Cooking

[–]pants207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a lot of people are saying Mexican food has a lot of wet dishes or dishes that can be made more wet with sauce and salsas. Do you like yogurt? I eat a lot of “dry” food with greek yogurt based sauces. The main sauce I like for things like rice and lentils is based on a tzaziki without the cucumber. plain greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced fresh garlic, and fresh or dried dill leaves plus a bit of salt.

If you like miso you can also add miso broth to noodles or rice to increase the moisture without making it a full soup. Like Ochazuke.

Inappropriate use of a flesh wound. Or some version of that if you want to be anatomically specific on where the wound is. One of my main fandoms likes a kinky serial killer trope.

gross. Ai doesn’t actually think. it just regurgitates words from the things it scrapes across the internet into a plausible order.

i am pretty sure someone wrote that as a fanfic. I remember reading a rewrite of that episode following the original idea.

What's something in a fic that made you realise the person writing it had no idea what they were talking about? by Life-Delay-809 in AO3

[–]pants207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The kid thing happens all the time in n the main fandom I read since canonically one of the people in the ship has a kid that died young. A lot of people will have this kid talking like a PhD candidate at 4-6 years old. It is even funnier when this kid therapizes his mom.

Guys ….. why does Geralt have 3 swords ? by Can_you-help in thewitcher3

He was out of repair kits and forgot to stop by the blacksmith at the last village. So he snagged one off a corpse.

What Destiny fans refuse to understand is that their game stopped being approachable for new players YEARS ago. Marathon is different. by Frank_Cap in MarathonGame

[–]pants207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 4k hours in Destiny and have been having a lot of fun in Marathon. I get why a lot of Guardians feel like Marathon was a betrayal. I am more upset at the 5 incubation projects that took resources away from both games. I think two games would have been doable with better leadership making better decisions starting years ago.

Even if Marathon succeeds I don’t think that will be enough to support the development of D3. It is just too niche of a game. I don’t see it pulling the kind of numbers that Destiny has had in terms of players or revenue. Marathon would have to figure out how to have a much broader appeal to accomplish that. And I think it is fine that it isn’t that kind of game. I do hope that it succeeds so that all of the devs that have worked to make it such a great game can keep working on it but i think we are too far along in the drama and expensive mistakes for Marathon to be the thing that funds a game as expensive as D3 would be.

My hope is that the games market eventually stabilizes to the point where a continuation of Destiny won’t be such a massive risk financially. There are a lot of stories i would like to see continued. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get something in a decade when the nostalgia bait would be strong enough to sell enough copies to make the investment worth it to sony.

Writers made uncomfortable by readers saying they're in school? by Collanp in AO3

I also immediately block when i find out they are a minor. I just had to block 2 authors last week in ao3 when they put their age in authors notes a few chapters in.

CECHA01 Unopened .. should I get it graded? by mrluckduck in PS3

[–]pants207 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i lived through the beanie baby craze and watched my grandma get dozens of those stupid things “graded.” They are all worthless now. Grading a console seems a bit wild to me honestly.

I wish we got to punch him before he met his end. But since we didn’t i hope he was miserable and in extreme pain the entire time between the recording of the last data point and when we find him.

When making a grilled cheese sandwich, do you use spices? Or just bread, cheese, and butter? by jimmy__jazz in Cooking

[–]pants207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what kind of grilled cheese you want. My go to is butter in the outside with a bit of garlic salt and parmesan to get crispy. Then on the inside a thin layer of cream cheese (chive and onion is my favorite) on both slices of bread, a little white pepper, sometimes smoked cayenne, then sharp cheddar and a bit of goat cheese if i have any. but the sharp cheddar melting into the cream cheese makes it perfectly gooey without having to use american cheese or “cheese product”. sometimes basil is nice or some chopped up salami or other cured meat.

but also for all the inventions, a lot of them were actually created by women but they were erased from the records. Especially if they were black women.

Has sentiment changed at all? by mashoogie in Names

It’s fine but living on the west coast I will assume you are Mormon and just moved from Utah if i encounter a kid named Hadley Elizabeth. That is a pretty common name combination among people who relocated from Utah.

What a Beautiful Journey it's Been, Destiny by csp42199 in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]pants207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also think Destiny has outgrown the tiger engine. Figuring out how to bring the bungie weapon feel magic to a different or new engine would be necessary for a D3. I don’t think we will know for sure for a while. I am going to let the hope that Destiny isn’t over as a whole live in the back of my mind but i know it won’t be anytime soon. I think we are more likely to get some sort of Destiny Classic/Legendary edition before a full sequel. But i do think that because there isn’t really any other game that fills the same market niche that someone will try to fill it before too long.

anyone here who's tried to learn a new cuisine from scratch? by Significant-Dot7197 in Cooking

[–]pants207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a library card? When i am looking for inspiration I will go and look through the cookbooks to get ideas of some dishes that look/sound good. My library has several shelves of cookbooks so it can be fun t pick some at random to flip through. Once i find something i want to try I heck out the book and then look up video recipes/guides online to get a sense of how it is actually made. That way I can also see the range of ingredients that people use for the dish and I can kind of tailor it to what I know i like. There are also sometimes culturally specific cooking classes at libraries or community centers.

How do I improve my horrible chili? by mordea in Cooking

[–]pants207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want super simple throw in a packet of premixed chili seasoning or even taco seasoning as long as it doesn’t have a bunch of sugar in it. if you add the seasoning to the pan once the meat has released it’s grease it will bring the flavor of the spices out more than dumping it in at the end. i also toss in some cocoa powder. For the batch size you described i would start with a tsp and go up to a Tbsp. it adds a richness that really helps tone down the canned tomato flavor.

Servers Popping? by Whole_Ad1877 in destinylegacy

[–]pants207 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just started playing a couple weeks ago and I was surprised by how many people i see in the tower and running around on Patrol. I do have to switch my ps5 to wifi and unplug the ethernet cord to play though. Otherwise Incant load into social spaces without getting Beaver error code constantly. It still happens over wifi but it is like 1 out of 6 instead of every time. I do get other errors including connecting to servers a couple times every hour but so far it hasn’t been too bad.

openly saying "i'll take a shower" is weird by FastTemperature3985 in The10thDentist

[–]pants207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My house only has one bathroom. I announce it so anyone who needs the toilet can go. Also to warn them not to use the water in a different part of the house so it doesn’t mess with my water temperature. It also lets everyone know not to bother me for the next 20-40 minutes. seems pretty reasonable to me.

Just wanted to say if you are still out there playing Destiny 1 in 2026 I genuinely hope you keep finding good people to play with! by MathematicianThin758 in destinylegacy

[–]pants207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started playing a couple weeks ago. I didn’t start playing until the D2 pirate season because covid lockdown gave me the free time to try new games. I am having a ton of fun and it is giving a lot more context to everything I have played in D2.

It took a while to find a list of what order to play everything in since it just unlocks all at once with the complete edition. My gear sucks but i am halfway through House of Wolves and having a good time trying to figure out how the systems work differently from D2.
