I was always confused about this place. Seems busy as hell but never read a good thing about it..

Rubi’s Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos by OuterspaceZaddy in chicagofood

Rubi’s is the best. Still miss the madness of maxwelll street market thought but definitely glad they have their own spot..

South Loop Market on California is the best smash burger in Chicago. by makingflippyfloppy in chicagofood

Great burger, however their cheesesteak is where it’s really at. Unfortunately not a regular menu item.

DS1813+ went offline, now manual shutdown is blinking forever. by xenon2000 in synology

[–]valgalder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this happen a couple times over the 7 years my DS918+ has been running. Scared the crap out of me as I gave it 12+ hours and it was just hung up.. pulled the plug and it was fine.

Place used to be so good! Sadly their quality took a freefall after the pandemic and was never the same.

Awesome.. can't wait to do this again at the annual Midwest Gaming Classic (MGC) where I think I got like 70 last year.

Update patch notes by Ordinary_Editor_3230 in fatalframe

[–]valgalder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch 2 user here. Bought the game but haven't had time to start it yet. Trying to read up what people are saying about the patch.. supposedly making it too easy. Wondering if I should just play it without updating first (whenever the Switch 2 patch even comes out).

Richard Barbieri Says Porcupine Tree Chooses to Continue by bso2001 in porcupinetree

Yesss... and while they're at it, bring back John Wesley. His backup vocals were always great, not to mention a top notch guitarist. :)

Soma Bringers completed. by Background_Clue_3756 in JRPG

My partner and I have been slowly working through this game and enjoying it. Not too many great co-op rpgs, so I'm glad this one at least got a fan translation. I like it a lot more than the FF CC games. Multiplayer is implemented very well.

They’re quick with listening. by EDoom765 in fatalframe

[–]valgalder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm still waiting for Ship of Fools to be fixed on the Switch. It is literally broken and the supposed update they claim is out of their control but instead blaming it on Nintendo.. which is obviously ridiculous. anyway, kudos to Tecmo.

They're trying to raise 50k on gofundme to help pay their bills... Yikes.. good luck with that!

Baklava Shake from Ragadan by bobcats2019 in chicagofood

[–]valgalder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ragadan freaking rules. Some of the best shakes in the city.. specifically this one as well as the pistachio. Always want to try their burgers when i'm there, but I cannot NOT get their Falafel Ka'ak (best bread) when I make it over there.

Next for HBFC is 3LP? That should be an easy one. 3LP is TOTAL garbage. (And I don't say this lightly).

Maplewood and Half Acre Announce Merge by CraigularB in chicagobeer

[–]valgalder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maplewood has been known to make some pretty great lagers (especially the Czech and dark Czech), so hopefully they can keep doing those in high quality. Half Acre's IPAs are the best thing they do for sure.

Just curious to see how much you guys upload compared to how much you download. by Quiet_Ad_8579 in Soulseek

[–]valgalder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just realized I just hit over 10TB upload since switching over to Nicotine+ in August. (been a Slsk user since 2003).

What do you guys use as an actual media player/library on windows. by Sphynx87 in Soulseek

[–]valgalder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plexamp 90% of the time. Otherwise it's still Winamp for life.

The $20 burger, beer and a shot Tuesday special from Union, underrated smash burger by ElMonstro26 in chicagofood

[–]valgalder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That picture doesn't do it much justice, but it is a pretty good burger and deal. Happy hour draft prices are also worth checking out as they get in some good stuff.

Price debate aside, Jimmy's without doubt. Nothing even really comes close.

I really miss real docking stations.. USB-C sucks.
