Was curious to see what your take on it was. The other reviews I have seen have been decidedly mixed. As an abashed fan of the first game, what is your overall takeaway? Disappointed, content? Polygon seemed to imply it was a bit of a letdown and a mild case of squandered potential.

Yeah, with a sourdough culture I cultivated from scratch in 2014. I use a combination of 00 flour and semolina flour when shaping the dough.
One of their downsides is that they are VERY heavy, like 20-30 pounds. This wasn’t a problem at my old apartment, but at my current one it causes the rack to physically bow under the weight. Not to the point of breaking, but it is noticeable. Mine is rectangular and about the largest pizzas I can make are 14 inches in…
I have a baking steel (specifically their first model reversible steel/griddle) that just lives in my oven. I’ve fluctuated between putting it on the bottom and top racks, and have settled on the top as it’s less likely to burn the crust I have found. I preheat the oven for at least 1 hour at 550F, and I take my dough…
I heat my oven to 550F Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to make pizza nearly every week, regardless of season. IDGAF.
Average showing this week. Manly Guys Doing Manly Things was the standout, with Corpse Run also having a decent showing with the veiled fat joke I never picked up on as a kid. Awkward Zombie is usually great, but having never played MGS, a lot of those comics go over my head.
We live in an apartment complex that uses the Package Concierge system, which is fairly convenient...when USP/FedEx/USPS/Amazon actually uses it. The complex gets a huge number of packages, so the system fills up really quickly. If that happens, they just leave the packages in the mail room, which is accessible to…
What the hell did I just watch?
Fuck these people. Cheat all you want in single player. Keep that shit out of multiplayer. Simple as that.
Let me know when they make a Mercy or a Mei figurine. I don’t have anything against Figmas, but the relative quality of the Widowmaker, Reaper, and D.Va figures has spoiled me.
This is fucking huge. As I mentioned on the previous article about this, it is incredibly easy to generate an effect in the short term. It is very difficult to generate a long term effect. This therapy is based on AAV2. AAV2 does not incorporate into the genome and is therefore fairly easy to generate short term…
This is nowhere near a “breakthrough.” AAV2-mediate gene therapy has been around for decades. The only newsworthy thing about this is that they were able to get it through the FDA with a study size of 23 people.
She certainly has utility. Her teleporter is genuinely useful on most “point A” maps. And with regards to the question of skill, there is certainly a difference between players who understand how to play her and those who don’t. When I started playing Mystery Heroes and would draw her I hated it since all I did was…
I have seen people call Symmetra “cancer” at least four times in the last week and another handful react violently after the game ends.
It is straight up her rez ability, which is getting nerfed in the next patch. Right now she can rez one person, ult, immediately rez another, and rez two more over the course of the ult. It’s essentially her old ult but even more powerful. As a sort of Mercy main, it is incredibly frustrating to play against her now. …
We watched the finals this past weekend. The skill level these guys are at is incredible. Also, from the perspective of someone who just plays quick play, it is hilarious to see what comps the best players roll with versus what randos end up instalocking. On almost every map, it was two tanks, two support, one DPS,…
My graduate school advisor was a collaborator with one of the cofounders of Spark. He didn’t have much flattering to say about their interactions in the collaboration, so I’m withholding judgement about how groundbreaking this announcement is until there is more long term data. It’s easy to generate short term…
Last year we bought and attempted to assemble the Hemnes TV stand. We opted to pick the boxes (of which there were two, this is of critical importance) ourselves and then paid to get them delivered. We get the shell put together easily, but when it came to putting the drawers together, the pieces we had between the…
