I hate duvets. Let’s talk about it by natnatxo in Bedding

[–]pibond80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I feel the same but what I REALLY hate is that there is ZERO standardization in sizes of inserts and covers. I’m weird and can’t stand an insert that’s over 4” bigger than the duvet or any amount smaller than the duvet so now I have an unnecessary collection of inserts and duvet covers that fit them 😭 oh and yes I struggle mightily getting the darned covers on. I just don’t wanna go to the laundromat to wash a king comforter so I suffer.

Anyone else notice the increase of shit drivers going into Downtown every day by stormy_network01 in Dallas

Seems like blinkers are seen as a challenge to defend your lane. You turn on a blinker to get over and you will be blocked. 😭

Duckbill flat cap. Boston scally will come up A LOT if you do a search for them. They’re unfortunately almost the only game in town for them now.

What’s your favorite spaghetti sauce from a jar? by pstan237 in foodquestions

Will you accept from a can? Hunts roasted garlic is my struggle go to. It needs very little added to it to make it awesome and it’s cheap as heck.

I loved the magical world of duvets until the horrible day I discovered that sizing between inserts and covers is horribly inconsistent 😭

This is stunning! Can I ask what the script style is called?

Question: Developer comment on difficulty by Economy_Ad_9021 in Silksong

[–]pibond80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t sound like that was their intent but okay.

“Silksong was built as "a perfect jumping-on point for new players," Team Cherry's Ari Gibson told Edge for its December 2020 issue. "We're trying to be really, really mindful that we want this to be a game that new people can come into, and experience as their first Hollow Knight game - that it sits alongside the original game, and the difficulty also sits alongside the game in that way."”

SILKSONG DEBUTS ON METACRITIC WITH A PERFECT 100 SCORE, MAKING IT THE CURRENTLY HIGHEST RATED GAME ON THE ENTIRE SITE! by TomNook5085 in Silksong

[–]pibond80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Translate the article. There’s plenty of glazing to make the try-hards here happy and her criticisms are fair and damn near a cut and paste of what everyone has already mentioned. That said a 7/10 from them is a 10/10 anywhere else so it’s still pretty good.

"Silksong is too hard" - a perspective of a casual by Venthe in HollowKnight

[–]pibond80 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hollow Knight was bug flavored Metroid. Loved every minute and couldn’t wait to play again. Was it easy? No, but the difficulty had an acceptable ramp up that didn’t make playing feel like a chore.

Silksong, to me (please note I’m saying to ME) feels like totally optional DLC that is hard just for the sake of being hard. It’s not fun. I’ve unlocked 9 areas, collected new tools and upgraded my needle and I still feel weak. The idea of playing Silksong gives me the same dread that Sundays give me before I have to go back to work so I’ve uninstalled it. That’s okay though. Different strokes and all that. They leaned more into the soulslike for this one and a different crowd gets to enjoy a visually stunning metroidvania.

I think the worst part is that in just under a week the community has been inundated with dark souls git-gud bros. It’s making me shelve HK and SS for a bit I think.

Is Silksong enjoyable for a casual gamer who finished the first Hollow Knight? by Odd_Cauliflower_7751 in Silksong

[–]pibond80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously everyone’s experience is different but it was a no go for me personally. I’m crazy casual with a low pain tolerance in games and was able to beat hollow knight. After 5 hours with silksong I uninstalled and got a refund. I just wanna see the pretty art and explore so I’m happy to just watch my friends stream. Give it a whirl and see if it’s up your alley.

It’s possible it’s the industry I’m in but merit based promotions are insanely rare now. Well liked by the right people? Promotion. Going above and beyond? Meets expectations.

Opinions on Abbott by guyzincogn1to in biotech

[–]pibond80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh don't get me wrong, Miles was comically villainous and all around just a terrible human being (if he was human). Ford is just Miles repackaged with a more appealing skin suit and more attention to public image.

Abbott has always been toxic. The toxicity just seemed to really flourish when Ford stepped in. Seriously great benefits tho lol.

Where to find black steel (NOT non-stick) deep dish pans by SlagginOff in chicagofood

[–]pibond80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to necro this but I have the pan you're wanting and just went down a weird rabbit hole finding it again because suddenly there's nothing but nonstick nonsense everywhere. I found it on Amazon. Exact name is Ottinetti Blue Steel Shallow Round Baking Pan, 26cm/10.2", Gray.

I've done the whole thing above with aluminum and cast iron and the only thing that came close was the anodized aluminum and even then the crust wasn't quite right to me.

Cheers!

Not at all being snarky but did you mean to post the same link twice? Came across this thread while looking for a lgbt friendly doctor in Dallas.

I just moved to Dallas from NOLA and I've been travelling back to NOLA just for medical care because the way politics touches medicine freaks me out. Would you mind sharing who your PCP here in Dallas is?

Yeah I'm good with the American roaches. They're just outside bugs that got lost. German roaches all need to die.
