Thank you so much for this. Now if only Kinja can implement tagging so I can tag obvious trolls and ignore them more easily.

Seriously, I wish someone were paying people to do what you just did.

This started development as an Avatar The Last Airbender game.... didn’t it?

(also, game looks brilliant)

Can someone with more knowledge of the industry explain WHY there is this terror that someone will leak what it looks like?  have they shown that if people don’t know what a thing looks like initial sales are stronger?  is this an aspect of hype I don’t understand? it seems very consistent, and yet... I’m like 90%…

Sweet, now can I get a “How to not watch the news when you have internet?” I mean... I’m half kidding, being even remotely socially involved and living in a city makes it startlingly difficult to avoid this shit.

So many of these are great. Alpha Protocol and Sleeping Dogs are among my favorite games and I have a lot of positive memories associated with them.

some of these I am not familiar with and will have to look into. others I fear i was among the crowd of people that didn’t appreciate. Lists like this are really great…

So I got on board the “they as singular” train a while ago (and I used to be irritatingly prescriptivist). But a thing I’ve been playing with lately is using “They is” instead of “They are”. Now, there’s a lot of complication to this, and it REALLY get’s people’s hackles up (even more than just using they as…

I feel like Exult is a really good option actually.

... I guess... my question is, if you are feeding the kids ranch cacio e pepe, why not just make mac and cheese? It incorporates ranch much more easily (I do it all the time), and is just about as easy to make if you use a box (which, lets face it, you are putting Ranch in Cacio e pepe, you aren’t above using box mac…

So... as other DCD systems adopt better splits with the developers... is Epic going to start negotiating exclusives that include those other platforms? My guess is no, but I feel like the way to call out whether or not this is bullshit is to make the switch to something that compensates developers better and see if…

So, I feel like the word choices for the categories are a little problematic, but I kinda agree with the categorization. I’ve always considered a sub, a taco, and a hot dog to be in the same category. unless you cut the bread ENTIRELY in half for the sub, at which point it becomes a sandwich.

I feel like the “salad…

Interestingly I personally have the opposite problem.  most of my robust vocabulary was built on my own, so I have a lot of words that have come out of years of depression, anxiety, and paranoia... But have so FEW ways to express good things.  which limits my ability to share good, and kinda reinforces the negative…

I’m glad you have the perspective you do. I... often think good things are spoiled by deliberate misinterpretation of intent. However, part of this social examination of things is driving them to improve, and this is especially true of things like game journalism. As important as it is to understand the portrayal of…

man, I love you Claire. Gourmet Easy Cheese.

Do you think the recipe would take modifying well so that instead of using processed cheese you could combine the whipping cream, some Sodium Citrate with a bit of Sodium hexametaphosphate and say... a nice gruyere, or maybe a mix of sharp cheddar, munster, and monterey…

It’s interesting that... So consent as a topic is practically a hobby for me. I have a philosophy and psychology background, I’m kinky, it fits a lot of how I think, and for me, consent is an important part of my moral foundations.

Forgive me, but the way I use “traditional pants hangers” is to mostly preserve the crease. There doesn’t seem to be a way to do that with this hanger at all. also... who just hangs their pants broad like that with a clipped pants hanger? I feel like that immediately presents problems...

I appreciate good design…

Forgive me, but the way I use “traditional pants hangers” is to mostly preserve the crease. There doesn’t seem to be…

oo, that sounds good. and... yeah, I am really passionate about cooking, with a lot of knowledge and using a lot of care... and I still never seem to salt properly while cooking. But at least I went from over salting to under salting, that’s a hell of a lot more correctable :P.

HUH! thank you for the reply! very appreciated. It’s funny, I agree with A. A. Newton about Sel Gris and Maldon (great finishers) but disagree over table salt (though see no reason to object, just a personal preference given how I cook). I will give her that it’s cheaper...

and yeah, I just bought a grinder with pink…

HA! interesting.  Yeah I have this wonderful baking steel I want to get some dry ice and try as a cold plate for ice cream at some point.  I didn’t think of using the salt block similarly! clever!

Actually there are other differences too, for instance Sel Gris doesn’t pull moisture as much as say, kosher (which is designed to), so when you are cooking with it it can make a difference beyond just “saltiness”

I... have never really been a fan of the Himalayan salt fad (though cooking on a salt block is an interesting concept I appreciate from it).

That said... all salt is salt, but there are some differences to be noted. Maldon salt, kosher salt, and Sel Gris all perform differently and tend to be good for different…
