To be fair, this is the second time they’ve implemented a stat squish to the game. They managed to not screw it up the first time, so interesting that they admitted to bungling it the second time. 

Will Monster Hunter have private servers?  I have absolutely no interest in playing with others. 

Yeah, the article outlines that EA declined to give him any of that data.  Which he then complained about as being unfair.

I was still a relative novice when I bought the 50 lb of Pizzeria. It took me about two years to work my way through it. My actual style is more NYC. Hoping the Americana can give me something closer to that. Thought about getting a bag of All Trumps, as that is allegedly what is actually used in a lot of NYC…

Reading the article, I’m not quite sure why the player in question need EA to tell him he spent between $10,000-$16,000 on FIFA. I have a reasonable approximation in my head of how much I’ve spent on Overwatch loot boxes in the year I’ve played, or how much I’ve paid in subscription costs for World of Warcraft over…

I do the initial opening of my dough while it is still cold, right out of the refrigerator. I then let the skin come up to room temperature while the oven is pre-heating, and then transfer the skin to parchment and then do the final stretching and topping there.  I found that the dough gets a little to extensible if…

I misspoke, it depends on the type of 00 flour being used. Caputo Pizzeria (aka Blue) is one of the more widely available flours and its spec sheet specifically states its designed for temperatures above 700 degrees F. Caputo Americana, a relatively new product that I’ve not seen available other than from speciality…

Don’t use a rolling pin unless you know what you’re doing.

00 flour, like Caputo Blue, is designed for Neapolitan pizza and wood fired ovens.  It doesn’t brown properly at home oven temperatures.

Parchment paper.

Those figures are terrifying.

Octopath Traveler. Still enjoying it 31 hours in. I have no idea how Jason finished this game in 36 hours. 

“Deserves” got nothing to do with it.

What’s wrong with Wrecking Ball?  How’s that any different than any of the other characters with aliases, like D.Va, Reaper, Mercy, Symmetra, etc.?  How is Wrecking Ball any dumber of a name than calling the obese biker Roadhog or the guy with the giant mechafist Doomfist?

It doesn’t. He’s probably assuming most of the country doesn’t understand how DNA or DNA testing works and that by claiming that his department could test for suspect DNA, people would be sufficiently scared as to not do it again.

So does the post-game dungeon change any of your impressions in your review? You seemed pretty down in the review that things didn’t tie together much at all, but from this post it sounds like the devs at least try to connect some of the dots a bit better than was previously assumed, enough so to warrant an update?

Ha, fans near-unanimous? Jjonak was fourth in the fan poll behind Fearless and Geguri from the SHD and Fleta from SD. His support in the MVP poll was near-unanimous from everyone who actually mattered, that is, the coaches, casters, analysts, and select media. Was anyone from Compete or Kotaku asked for their opinion…

I’ve been incredibly lucky in that my university’s library had pretty wide reaching digital subscriptions while I was in grad school. Now that I’m doing my postdoc at one of the three-letter government research agencies, I don’t think I have ever come across a paper that I haven’t been able to access. 

There’s no offline viewing for Crunchyroll still, right?  I thought I read that it was going to be added soon, but don’t recall hearing anything about it recently.

I brought the Anova home for Christmas last year (DCA to STL) after intending to for several years and used it to cook the steaks for Christmas Day. I don’t recall if it ended up being worth it.
