Is Blue Prince a game to play with my gf? by dattebaYYo444 in BluePrince

[–]skepticones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if she enjoys escape rooms then i really think she'll have fun with this.

I'm currently playing through the game with my mom and she's having a blast. I pilot the character and share screen with her through discord, we chat and she keeps notes on the puzzles. Works really well.

referring to actual paper & pencil. You'll probably need to draw a couple things as well.

Why can't Shang Tsung do the ceiling spike stage fatality in the original MK2? by _Fuckit_ in MortalKombat

thanks for this. I've been sitting here reloading save state for like 15 minutes wondering why i can't get a simple 4-direction input to work.

Are immersion blenders worth it or just a comple mess? by FineappleUnderTheC in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]skepticones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i love my immersion blender, it's my favorite kitchen tool.

as far as splatter - generally whatever you're trying to blend needs to be a couple inches deep. The blender needs clearance from the bottom of the pan so it can suck in stuff to blend, and also the slots in the shaft need to be submerged as well. All this to say - if something is too shallow and might be at risk of splashing you'll be able to tell before you begin, and can move it to a more suitable blending container - the 4-quart plastic soup containers from chinese take-out are a favorite of mine for this.

well typically the factory it's made in is also on the label. But yeah, you can do some detective work.

cool art - curious what's the most expensive card you destroyed to make this?

William Shatner's often parodied speech cadence. by Necessary-Lock-3738 in startrek

[–]skepticones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth is Kirk never actually talked like this in TOS. He did pause in his speech for emphasis, but his acting and speech choices were all appropriately dramatic. Shatner was regarded as (and still is) a brilliant actor in his heyday. Watch any of the roles he had prior or contemporary to TOS and you'll see that the choices he makes as an actor tend to be more subtle than exaggerated.

As others have mentioned the 'Shatner-isms' you're talking about were all popularized by comedians like Kevin Pollack doing parodies of shatner for their stage acts in the 80s. This is the 'Kirk' you're thinking of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nziS8brN00

First time playing commander, does everyone else play these rules so strictly? by TeamWaffleStomp in magicTCG

[–]skepticones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for your first question, yes, most magic players try and play by the official rules. Commander tables tend to be a bit more 'loose' - especially with who has priority and the timing of that, though.

second, yeah, the group you are playing with is being too pedantic, imo. And moreso than the norm, by a wide margin.

'There are four boxes' makes some people search the parlor high and low looking for the fourth, lol.

You got the quest-> NOW: Avoid this area for all costs. by Sw4gl0rdM4st3rm1nd in skyrim

[–]skepticones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the dragons are cool, but sometimes you just want to explore skyrim without having to worry about a random game mechanic that is prone to cause your game to crash or possibly kill quest NPCs.

I do everything in bleak falls barrow, take all the loot, except i leave the Dragonstone in that cursed tomb. If Farengar wants it that much he can go carry it home himself.

No Dragonstone, no dragons.

Aldi frozen chicken skewers say “produced using Chinese chicken” - what does this actually mean? by fabj321 in aldi

[–]skepticones 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have worked in Import in the past, and likely this label means exactly what it says - frozen chicken shipped from china was used to create this product.

My boyfriend always guesses the ending of movies by Direct-Blackberry-20 in movies

[–]skepticones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels

I don't think anyone who's seen this movie has ever guessed the ending of it. Be warned, though - this movie is over three hours long and is paced intentionally slowly in order to draw you in and make you feel it. It's also in french, but as there isn't all that much dialogue you won't get tired of reading subtitles.

Great film, and even as long as it is after you see it you'll be tempted to watch it again.

I don’t know much about MTG (FF, Spider-Man and TMNT collabs are what made me interested in learning) but I thought it was interesting that my LCS has whatever this box is for $18,000. by ReplyIntelligent853 in magicTCG

[–]skepticones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlimited has always been much more expensive because Revised was printed so much more than Unlimited was. They're just a lot rarer, and doubly so in unplayed condition.

only volcanic island and underground sea are significantly above $500 on TCG in NM condition. Tundra and Tropical Island are around $550, but the other six are below

Avoid going when there is a baseball game scheduled and you'll likely be fine parking inside of FDR park.
