ive actually got a pretty thick ribeye i'll be having tomorrow, so i'll get one of that
such a weird concept to me
the theory behind it has a few merits
it's low sugar, so helps your gut bacteria, it's low carb so helps you lose weight by lowering insulin, and it can also help as an elimination diet because it's low fibre as well, and meat is very easy to digest for us
there's also very little cooking time (2 mins each side for a steak) and little waste, because you just tear open some vacuum sealed steaks each day, it's made my tiny kitchen quite convenient
More or less weird than golf game being labeled an RPG by EA app?
a lot weirder
drinking water is also very low carb, sugar and easy to digest
I do practice prolonged fasting too
So sometime soon i'll go 3 days with no eating and just water fast
This seems unhealthy.
It’s role playing as a pro golfer when you think about it though
im so sorry
@obtuse yew have you been sous vide'ing?
It’s also a fantastic detox nice job
Any time I see or hear of anyone sticking to a discipline I do my best to raise them up for that
dunno to me this is more dangerous especially if youd do something as extreme without consulting a doctor
The danger in me ever trying that is I’d be viciously grumpy
I would rip the heads off everyone around me
My wife and I did it for 3 months, helped a ton with my depression and yeah, it’s a lot harder than it looks 😂
sure but the more real danger is that you absolutely lack nutrients so youd have to suplement
Ye sure I dunno anything about that my diet is terrible at best
yea thats another thing which afaik is purely pseudoscience too
for the vast majority of people
I don’t give a shit honestly, you can have your opinion my dude
yep I do
@solid needle how goes the softball? You playing this spring?
Kinda off and on cause of new job. Need to go to doc but kinda being a pussy about it
Don’t do it
I didn’t really read up more beyond this
But whatever it is
Don’t do it
hahahahah be hungry for 3 days
puzzle imagine
imagine me hungry
for 3 days
i would go super non verbal
🙁 what happen?
What if it just makes you like hyper focused 😂
Hahaha
what kind of sandwich we talking here
ent i have been obsessed with this chicken sandwich that has an herb aoili, brie and pear on it
it's so damn good
@obtuse dawn knee still hurts from when I injured it in October
that sounds odd
NO IT'S SO GOOD
not saying its bad
sometimes i'll feel like crying and i'll stop and be like when is the last time i ate? oh it was yesterday. oh this explains everything
just a bit ye
and it's cut down a lot by the brie, the savory aoili and the chicken
kinda like putting cranberry sauce on turkey
yea that sounds just as odd to me
hahahah god dammit
Ok
but I do understand sweet stuff with umami too
if strawberries are more affordable again
Put cranberries in shit
will make a strawberry spinach chicken salad!
Sweet stuff in food drives me nuts
so you don't like ribs with kinda sweet rib sauce?
I have made cranberry broccoli feta chickpea stuff too
sweet and savory is the best combo
was good
Doesnt korean food have hella sweet and spicy shit together?
yes
Puzzle fake korean?
like what
gochujang
that’s not really sweet tho
it is
or apples in a salad
puzzle you would hate my favorite burger. regular burger with ketchup, mustard and relish but i also put peanut butter on it
cheese, all the regular stuff
but with peanut butter
kimchi recipes use a pear too
but not sweet
you are ass
what theeeeeee
Peanut butter is a nope
WHAT THEEEEEE
also mustard
PEANUT BUTTER?
giant nope
^
Put the two together
in my fried vegetable pad thai esque stuff
Omega nope
i dunno there's very few foods i won't eat
I put a scoop of peanut butter in
i'm greek and i don't like olives at all that's probably the worst one
Mustard is great
arent you murican?
but tbh olives really depends
Beavs I found a greek cuisine mommy on instagram
nice nice nice
She says she'll be my mommy every reel she posts
greek food is the best, not biased
👎🏻 eggplant
yeah i agree
avgolemono soup also a classic
it's like lemon soup
fixes all problems
i make spanikopita fairly regularly cause you can freeze them and just reheat them ez
but i don't do the big pan that you cut up i fold them into individual triangles. easier to store and reheat.
Ur saying alot of made up words
Some are I swear missing vowels



looks okay but think if id make something like that id prolly just make a flatbread with spinach feta filling
Savage
Swear game still looks like the right even on high end PC's
I need a game I can play on this laptop man
I been trying to make dao run for a week
EA app is shit
The game is old and doesnt work thru steam either
Disco elysium doesnt run

bis game
great opinion lake, keep it up
Yeah more or less
I was hoping to no-life a nice little RPG for a few days this week
So disco elysium, then dao
Now I dunno
Gonna try disco elysium again maybe there's some launch option I can set to make it run on potato
Try vampire survivors. Not an rpg buts fun af and runs on anything
Haven't tried it ever tbh
Thanks m8, the benefits of fasting are well understood thankfully so not really worried about anything dangerous happening
Only thing is i need to take a few days off work as i hate doing it whilst having to think or wake up on time 😂
Of course! Definitely would recommend if you haven’t already to get a blood test done just to check up on things. I was hard headed when I was younger about that kinda stuff and wow does it make a difference with your health.
@half nova @digital galleon @versed timber here an example of the pickled cucumber BAER's style
And the rest of the meal
There was also rice and beef, not shown in pic
Helooooo why is there such a nice dinner without me??ß
XIV M+ ? 👍
@sturdy field
that wouldn't work unless they completely rework how gear works in that game tbh
either is a translation glitch or just a japan culture thing
in FFXIV when you remove someone from your friend list, you are not removed from theirs so they don't know you removed them. I thought it was a bug but I've learned it's a culture thing over there, to avoid socially awkward situations
Oh that’s kinda nice
I thought this was someone just summarizing for the Reddit post
not the direct translation
Seems a svensk problem
BAER always has nice dinners

We're on our way to BAER to get nice dîner
The comments under that post feel like home
Redditors being redditors, wether on WoW's reddit or XIV's reddit

Stressful sounds like a negative
Less stress-free reflects you are taking away the lack of tension which is a good thing

Loaf!
Loaf !
I love that everyone brings up Stone Vigil, place is cursed among players minds 😂
It’s gotta be hard now to be a MMO dev designing stuff, you have people like me who like ever green login, get shit done and log out then people like @sturdy field who are hardcore mythic players who enjoy the challenge
I ain’t about to beat my head on one boss 70 times. Nope, fuck that.
Only 70 times? 
Aurum Vale is much harder
and yeah 70 wipes, rookie numbers lol
tindral 🙃
Did Stone Vigil (Hard) an hour ago, been playing MMOs for decades, yet, never have I seen such an horribly designed place
The 3 dungeons I can actually die as a tank: Aurum Vale (first room), Stone Vigil (they nerfed iirc) and Mt. Gulg (when doing the quadruple pulls through first wall)

Haha right it’s so chaotic
The spiky turtle boss
I think SV is the one they completely re-did bosses too
What the fuck is going on there ?
Three times? That’s less than some super Mario bosses 
oh nvm, yeah that boss sucks lmao
Though I agree that they should ya know let healers heal
Stop giving tanks every gd self heal
ESP WAR
Healers healing ? Why should they heal ? Where is that written ?
in xiv? sure - in wow? fuck that, if they don't let me be self-reliant I'm done tanking lol
😂😂😂
Oh yeah imagine though if wow had W2W pulls though
in wow it's called boss-to-boss
😂😂
Reminds me of The Secret World and its reboot, at some point in the reboot, they shoehorned a change that forces tanks to invest in tank gear and builds and healers to actually heal
Kinda annoying that every dungeon in ff is the same. 2 pulls, wall, 2 pulls, boss, 2 pulls, wall, 2 pulls, boss, 2 pulls, wall, 2 pulls, final boss
XIV just needs to redesign their jobs or like, make them challenging again
Small tank busters on trash would help
It's hard to give us M+ infinite scaling because gear kinda sucks in XIV
even in BiS you can get to like 15-20% to big aoe in dungeons, you aren'T overgearing much compared to here
Why do I have 2 oGCD that just deal damage as a paladin ? Why can't those be rotational spells instead ?
Yeah true
Imagine adding branchings to combos
Maybe with this new wow soft reboot of sorts XIV will do the same
rotations are almost all the same across all jobs (per role ofc)
But that’s because players complain if it’s longer / don’t engage that content. Problem putting it all into a queue for equal currency rewards
Shit netcode doesn’t help either
at this point is it even a netcode
Another solid question
Why would you ever want to play a longer dungeon if it’s just worse tomes per hour
I think MMOs are just in flux right now
i thought ppl in that game weren't hardcore min-maxers
Wow is changing course
why would they give a flying fuck about tomes/hour lol
Of course they are, they’re just more anti social / less committal about raid groups
Publicly, they show a casual friendly and welcoming face, but behind closed doors, those degens are spreading toxicity as in any other MMO
I've found ppl to be passive agressive af in there
Didn’t ff14 have parsing for fights before WoW? Like the color of logs
Yup
they don't want to get banned, because yeah FFXIV actually bans toxic ppl if they get loud, so they get passive agro
Take WoWs difficulty and XIVs story telling and BAM. Fixed.
You can’t boot people for low performance so you screen their logs before you invite them
Since meters are banned
In PF you can do w/e you want, just don't do it in the in-game chat I guess
kicking ppl for being bad, "your dps sucks" on disc and kick, nothing to be done about that
I think it’s ironic that both MMOs are like, coming to conclusions about their weaker parts of their games now
In what way
Blizzard like yeah our story is fucking Garbo. 3 PART EXPANSION!
Square is like yeah game needs to be more stressful. NEW DESIGNS INC
Oh yeah I guess I mean games in general strive to fix their biggest issues right? You always try to market your next version as being better than current
Yeah hey I think it’s great
They just haven’t really done it before ya know
If wow had decent storytelling it would be fucking amazing
I just check wow's story on youtube / articles, in-game i care very little
but from what I've seen in DF they improved a bit
XIV's really good but cringe at times, there's a balance
Yeah they did for sure
That’s final fantasy though
Barret is insanely cringe
I can’t not picture Robert downy jr in tropic thunder playing Remake
Granted I’m excited if they ever give FF9 the same treatment
FF7 is a great game but man did FF9 get ignored in comparison
installed yesterday
I actually bought it twice a while ago. One time on epic store, then it went to steam and I knew it'd be easier to setup on the deck, sigh
It’s sooo good, def fleshes out the side characters now too
ive been going through Mario vs DK, gonna finish that, and I might want to give super mario rpg another shot I played for about an hour and put it down
Thousand year door Inc too
"Best we can do is ARR tier storytelling"
Haha you'd be like NOOOOOOOOO
Especially after I'd be told to speak 4 times in a row to the same NPC 10m appart each convo

Pray return to the waking sands
I don'T think I got any of those, I story skipped to the beginning of shadowbringers
@sturdy field after experiencing this Hearthstone event, WoW's netcode is complete shit too
Wow.
Bos spawned, everything went to complete lagville and boss insta died
worked fine for me :P at 5 fps
this little guy next to me in stormwind for the event, nightmare inducing
lol love mechagnomes
so so bad
im gonna level one soon, for the heritage armor achieve
@candid edge Speak some holy into this man's life
I was doing maw dailies yesterday, I'm beyond saving
no kidding hahaha
You're sucha king
someones enjoying XIV 😉
Has anyone tried out Nvidia HDR function? Damn does it work well
Nvidia recently added driver-level RTX HDR support for video, adding impressive HDR to any SDR video - but modders have discovered that it works for games too - and the results are impressive. There's support for more games than Microsoft's AutoHDR, the HDR delivery is much improved, and it even works on emulators too. Alex Battaglia has the ful...
I love Scyther
Did you purify a shadow scizor just so it'd be... a second hundo !
I don't have the mega version yet
I thought I had an older shiny scizor but idk where went
I think next playthrough I do I'm gonna take this guy on an adventure
Yes I did 
Me using Pkhex because I don't have time to deal with natures, EVs, IVs, and all that random bullshit.
Those are really fast nowadays, tho
the stuff on the right?
müsli
no salad
but salad on the bread
Ah looks like a salad :D
BAER envious

Just read the M+ stuff in Retail and how it sounds like fated is sticking to the original 8 DF dungeons with no seasonal. Eww.
Finally makes heroic dungeons useful
for gearing
Love the changes
Dungeon rotation woulda been nice to see
It is time for the random bug trivia!
think that'd be a lot of work
This is my problem with Retail right now. Blizzard only busts their hump and improves the game when their perception is that community perception is negative. But content creators are pretending DF is good and it seems to be staying the course and “milking” when my opinion is that it isn’t in great shape and needs improvement. Oh well. At least SoD exists
"content creators are pretending DF is good", idk I've been enjoying DF almost non-stop since launch lol
D4 is undergoing a redemption arc because we all agree it’s bad. Season 4 is bringing loot 2.0 which could save the game the same way Reaper of Souls saved D3 (not really going to argue about this tbh I enjoy ROS). Retail WoW can’t get a redemption arc if they think the game is fine
The changes they're doing is a great step to making more content relevant, Kaed's suggestion of more dungeons isn't bad but also it would be quite annoying even for us if they were to add more dungeons to the pool (more than 8)
I mean, it makes sense to come back to the original dungeons in the last season
We are going back to all 3 raids, might as well.
This is basically a "farewell" patch to Dragonflight.
⏭️ <— I’d rather press this button 
I know that, but production of the next expansion won't instantly finish if you snap your fingers.
So instead, they gotta run with what they have. =/
It would be cooler if it did. 
make minor changes, minor adjustments, etc.
No argument there!
S4 in shadowlands was neat for keys with the affix, like corruption in BFA, breaking the game at the end of an xpac and being OP as hell is a decent farewell, not sure what we will be getting in comparison for DF though, there doesn't seem to be any shenanigans
Speakin' of, the article I posted above said the man drew 7 books full of bug pictures. That is dedication.
Absolute legend.
oh right, they removed the seasonal affix in S2.
SL S4 was pretty awesome in terms of content for M+. If class balance wasn’t as scuffed as it was it would be been peak
Woul've been MORE fun to have the class-based Neltharion call as a M+ Seasonal affix, during S2.
They could've done something.
Nerfing architect’s aligner but leaving dancing rune weapon alone 
Hoping for some dungeon tuning (removing annoying parts of DF dungeons), and some twists to them
nerfing architect's aligner twice
What are you thinking of oxez?
One time for the aoe target cap, another time for the 35% dmg nerf, felt real good lol
removing weapons in neltarus, removing intermission in last boss in halls that kind of thing. Twists idk, seasonal affix is what made season4 of bfa and sl neat
Encrypted
Shrouded
Hmmm
Bro I’m mad. Morgan Day said back during the DF season 2 press tour they were considering bringing Encrypted back for season 4. Now here we are and where is it?
The mention of shrouded gave me a fun idea.
He thought I’d forget but I didn’t 
for the gauntlet part of the last boss of Halls with that elemental boss..
Why not give people a shroud to avoid baddies on the first way there?
if they break shroud before they get to boss though. 😛
Other than that, a "seasonal" affix that they could've incorporated would be something like the Dragonscale Expedition lending us their aid.
By idk. Everyone choses an NPC they want assists from, and it procs while they do their thing.
Kinda like the Legion follower thing when you had them on standby.
Imagine, idk, the climber dude falling on mobs. XD
the picture girl randomly blinding mobs with her S.E.L.F.I.E
Stuff like that. XD
The dwarven girl could, I dunno, also have something to do with climbing? =/
"I see a wall, and I want it climbed!"

I care about flavor to be fair but I mostly care about fun gameplay.
Blizzard says “with seasonal affixes you play the affix and not the dungeon “ and my thought is… yeah? That sounds good to me. I don’t like NO. I don’t like halls. An affix that smooths out the lows is a good thing not a bad thing
To be fair AA and AV are cool dungeons.
Al'gethar was cool. Had this Hogwarts kinda feel.
No no I mean I just wanna see s4 dungeon list 😂
it's 99% the 8 DF dungeons
Hell ya
minus doti prob
Ruby life pools 2nd boss wipe fest
(that would have been 10 uh)
We wiped 72 times on that 2nd boss when DF came out, solid team building of people who have all quit until 11.0
I’d also joke that your definition of “fun” definitely isn’t most players 😂
probably
I dunno I don’t hate RLP. I do dislike how cheesy having bleed removal is for 2nd boss, turns that boss from a meat grinder into a trivial joke but I guess it isn’t the first mechanic where having some kind of dispel makes a fight go from insane to easy. Double dispel in that panda dungeon comes to mind for instance
On that note I’m surprised bleeds have not been formalized as a debuff type in their tooltips
Sure they’re mostly obvious suppose but 
It was that fire spawn then boulder throw that would kill people
And tanks not mitigating her tank buster if I remember right
I think they nerfed RLP significantly from the first couple weeks
as a tank enjoyer I just mostly remembering getting vaporized by that bleed on higher keys if no PVok. Just so sweaty of a fight in terms of coordinating defensives etc
honestly all 3 bosses were very healing intensive
which is good in some ways but

first boss as bear was fun, wildfire value
Haha yeah that was it
I think I'm gonna bring my paladin out of retirement for s4
Just wish Holy was a bit more... fun
my paladin got the orange axe, yeahhh
which one
fire sythe is my fav
I like that at this point it's a meme getting it
Hopefully it's upgradable in s4 too 
It's the basis of my mog, too
I now have all the class hall mounts and completed mage hall on all classes. What now?
scythe fits best of those 3 for me. You could also look at 2h Maces, afaik there are some great red-ish/fire-ish maces
Looks great!
3000io all classes?
Ty ty
@half nova @digital galleon @versed timber quick simple meal today. BAER didn't have time to do something elaborate.
Oh, @neon latch as well
Share food picture though, and tag all of us
quick and easy is great. We had take out because I have no energy to cook right now. Can share if you want :)
what is that in the front tho, egg role?
BAER cant find english word for it.... but "Witlof" boiled and then covered with ham and cheese under broiler
google says belgian endive
I dont know either of them
is it good, can you compare it to something?

BAER cant, its something completely on it's own
wait isnt that chicoree?
Oh it is
yea it is
have had that with ham and cheese too a few years ago
its bitter but fun
I got some bulgur with some black lime spinach tofu mix

If im in the hearthstone event and get a drop someone else wants, is it possible to trade it if I wasnt in a group?
If its bitter, it isn't prepared well. It should be a bit sweet as well.
It's less bitter than beer
Less bitter than a cup of yorkshire tea made with two bags without milk
Are you calling the Yorkshire people english?

At least they're not brummies
How does one make tea out of dogs ?
Same way they make coffee from cats?
Is there a tansmog channel for druids?
This one is what's used for it
@half nova @digital galleon @versed timber
@undone stag Ohh ok thanks... Just have to go through alot of other photos to get some mog posts
yea that is the downside of it
Can the mods make a mog channel like the other class discords? <@&114146878353833984>
any fruit in there?
Raspberry blackberry and blueberry
made tacos with salmon/mango/tomato with sour cream/lemon dip, wasn't convinced by the recipe but was quite amazing

Okayyyyyyyyy
@timid walrus its very windy here. my sliding glass door was buckling to the point where it was like a subwoofer oscilating. Door is opened now, but jfc. Sustained winds at 30mph, gusting up to 50-60mph. (~48kmph sustained, 80-96kmph gusts)
Heccin WIMDY?
See the green circle near California/Mexico? That's LA ish. Showing ~35,000ft (where the major air currents flow); Normally those are 50mph (green). and its currently in the red/pink, so 90-100mph (~150kmph+)
Did you try the cucumber salad Cyous?
not yet
Is that modern art ?
It's not AI generated
negative, this is weather simulation map using data sourced from practically all the world weather and monitoring stations (ocean, atmosphere, seismic, etc.)

once you get used to it, you can get pretty good at guessing the weather 10 days out.
it gets more accurate as it gets more current
I did my bachelor project involving predicting the weather
Fuck predicting the weather
Shits volatile
I don't preditct thé weather
Wather Whyte ?

very, i used it to estimate my friend group's skiing trip. Local weather was very 50/50 on severity in the mountains. But we got lucky and left the morning of, and avoiding getting snowed in (leaving at 4am vs. 10am; motorists got stuck by 2pm)
We tried to predict a heating plants possible generation of hot water from solar heating panels in any given timeframe based on expected amount of sun radiation
What did you study? Renewable Energies?
i like this site because its rather easy to use. it doesnt support live doppler radar, which is way better for the southern states in the US for storm tracking. But its good for CA where we get weather events every month or so, and usually the "obvious stuff" is easy to plan for 3 days out.
Kinda but not really. I have a bachelor in technology management and marine engineering
steam powered turbines using solar power? :: like a solar farm, or a death ray? solar panels, afaik, are kinda shitty atm (mediocre conversion, dust, sun literally moving across the sky, changing the angle)
sounds really interesting
Stuff like this
BAER has solar panels, they work fine for BAER 
Just treated water being heated up and stored in a large tank. The company I did my project for was a local combined heat and power plant
personal solar panels are fine, but a power grid based on them isnt nearly good enough yet.
Ok but BAER has like the best cave I know about
Dream cave
Distinction here is between electrical solar panels and hot water solar panels
Hot water solar panels are honestly iffy at best since they usually produce heat when you already have heat from the sun
I read and heard something different, but its not my area of expertise
that looks like it could be filled with water? or are those solar panels -- hard to tell without literallly being there lol
Ah, cooling photovoltaic cells to increase efficiency and obtain hot water?
Yeah filled with water
You literally just heat up some panels, run water by them to cool them down and you now have hot water
It's a fairly traditional specialised engineering role in scandinavia, the literal translation for my job title is "machinemaster" 
This is the basic principle
from my own research, the cost to maintain them, and the harsh chemicals used to keep them clean is an issue. i think the mass produced panels are able to absorb 20% of the sunlight? And you lose a lot of that simply moving the electricity to a battery. So, you need a massive solar farm for it to work.
Plus wouldn't a huge solar farm generate a huge pocket of heat in its immédiate vicinity ? Gotta cool that down somehow ?
Or....like they do here. Put them on slightly higher frames so people can park their car in shades.
Generally speaking natural cooling is enough for solar panels
yep, wind turbines have an impact on very-local weather too. Texas had a study that showed some "insignificant" increase in precipitation. But a solar farm would naturally create more heat in the local area. So nearby towns may possibly have their local climate be warmer overall
The best use-case for solar panels is definitely utilising the energy right away, at least until battery technology catches up
and warm air can hold more water, so it leads to more rain. Which might lead to less absorption. Solar power is neat-o
BAER uses home automation.
BAER's heatpump reservoir heats to 65 if free solar energy, instead of 55c.
Some sockets only work when free solar energy to charge devices with batteries (and battery banks)
BAER's bike charger only turns on when sunny, and if BAER gets an electric BAERmobile BAER does the same.
BAER hopes BAER can do the same with freezer, making it a couple degrees cooler when free energy
The other enormous problem with big solar farms is that most areas don't support the increased load on the power grid
BAER currently working on getting the AC smart as well, pre-cooling the house during the day when energy is free
It's a huge problem in Denmark that they want everyone to get electric cars and shit, and build more solar farms, while the power grid is still fairly ancient
does this mean that power stations would need to discharge excess electricity before it enters the main grid? (creating spark gaps?)
They would need to do something with it yeah, possibly including options like just turning on a big electric heater to burn the excess electricity
@hardy whale FWIW, im not expert, im just excited about meteorology because its so complicated. Having ideas about possibly correlating data points and then googling it to see if that train of thought holds up to scientific research
And just the big power lines going into cities being dimensioned for X amps years ago and then suddenly have a surge of energy consumption drawing more power through them
So, if i say anything profoundly dumb, im okay to be corrected
Man I say something profoundly dumb on a daily basis
I'm still not over my "am I really smart enough to be a working adult" phase
Despite passing my bachelors with top grades
most of the people i know who work at blizzard have imposter syndrome
It's a real problem
I wonder that quite often, then look at thé people I work with and réalisé I am.
Especially for me because all my coworkers are literally 50+ with decades of experience to pull on
some of those folks are senior level employees too
Can you modernize my cave too?
can i aks how old you are and when did you finish your study ?
29 and finished 3 years ago
1 more year til the back pain starts
oh like me
im 32, and it started 2 years ago
and I have the same problem with me thinking I shouldnt do what I do
My hip already locks up sometimes, it makes me walk like an old man

I'm not looking forward to the morning of turning 30 where all my bones turn to dust all at once
Prépare WD-40 syringes to lubricate your articulations
im said this a few times, but earlier, like 3-5 months ago, i sneezed in the shower too hard and threw out my back. i couldnt really walk for 3 days.
Full on dad sneeze is also something I'm not looking forward to at 30
It just sounds like a hazard
thats the sneeze of a REAL man
How do you explain that one at work though
"Sorry boss I can't come to work, I sneezed in the shower"
"I slept wrong"
"Hey boss. I'm gonna be honest. I sneezed too hard and my back is shot to shit. I can't walk. Is this what being 30 is like? It's dangerous for me to walk around like this. I'm going to work from home, unless you tell me not to."
- Establish that it's not possible to work in the office.
- If you can't work from home, then you can't come into work. It's that bad.
And because you've expressed an injury, it would be negligence for your superior to make you do physical labor.
This reminds me of my first day of work here. I had a fairly large gallstone attack and had to leave after a few hours, which is very atypical for people my age and build
At the CS job i had, I told the hiring manager that, immediately after training, i was going to blizzcon and would be gone for a week, and it was non-negotiable.
im never seen someone look at me like i was crazy.
Machine master, sounds like a D tier Batman villain
anyways, i came into work a week later, no big deal.
This is what happens when you quit WoW
Ironically when I hit 30 is the time I thought I actually started to feel pain in my body.. now that I’m rounding 40 in two months I actually know that I indeed feel pain in my body. Every 10 years it seems to get progressively worse.
RIP old man
Old injuries definitely come back to haunt you 🙁

I'll take your gills and buy a nice house in gridania
I have YET to get a house 😞😞
Ain't rich enough for one
But solid choice in gridania
But we have a nice guild house
Wait till Christmas
Your server will probably do a Santa meet where you can ask for anything
Ask for the highest gil mount
Then go sell it 🫡
Should bé wealthy enough by then
Now that you love the game
But then you gotta contend with the lotto system
Mostly because I don't have to spend a Gil for anything but repairs
Which I hate in the game
That’s true oh and dope mogs
Side-note, the calling people “random” gives off weird “main character vibes”
lol
I think nex has been here since server creation so he’s an OG Druid
Ok
Aw he uses “ok” too. Maaan like having Nex back

Not oxez, but an actual degen
11 months in, pretty much did most of thé degeneracy thé game offers
Liké fishing all fishes
I got a GF, promotion, won a Pokémon and a magic tournament since I’ve quit wow
Dunno, what you pay?
I’m pretty sure oxez has done that, the man finds the most boring parts of WoW and XIV to be fun. He cracks me up.
Get em slugger. Proud of ya
boring uh
Hahaha
Good food?
see, oxez truly is amazing
Better than BAER's food?
I dont know, you will have to judge.
BAER don't judge food, BAER posts here to get judged
Maybe @half nova, @versed timber and @neon latch can judge

I shared a lot of food with you, you should know my style :)
BAER knows your style, BAER can't judge if it's better than BAER's
does it need to be better?
I thought we share to let the others enjoy what we made and not to compete
I cannot overstate how little desire I have to play wow anymore
You’re playing the IRL MMO right now
True. I am a grass toucher
how did you do it?
Realized how shit the game is and that there is no saving it, so deleted it
The real way to do it, delete your backup UI
No one wants to reset that up
I did that and then realized past me made a copy on my laptop so future me was like, ah. Bingo. Easy to return.
I even tossed my backup jump drive
I go through transitions with WoW, winter time this area shuts down so socially people become shut in's so I play WoW. When spring hits hiking begins so WoW kinda gets tossed to the wayside till Fall
I need to SS this for when you make your big come back in 11.0
Biggest realization was that wow performance is directly impacted by time spent playing, and can’t spend the same time
Did you even preorder/plan on getting TWW?
or are you just like fuck this

Look at yooou
So far new hero talents look to be an utter mess unless you play Paladin so you're not missing much
Im somewhat happy with TWW and the mog farm changes
also the warband is an interesting addition
I'll reserve judgement until they work out all the new class talents... which they have six months to get right
would be neat if follower dungeons included characters from your warband at some point
level a new alt and your main is there helping you
That sounds pretty cool. I’m surprised more games don’t use the dragon’s dogma pawn style system where characters you create are out in the world or in other peoples worlds doing stuff
Blizzard has never really understood sandbox style design though
It’s why garrisons flopped and why Microsoft had to kill their survival game
Blizzard only does curated content
You WILL delve with Brann Bronzebeard
I thought garrisons were fine, the downside is that they said they would be "optional" but in reality they were not
that sounds like a amazing idea
I liked garrisons but I mean like objectively they flopped

I haven’t really followed warbands that much, do we have an in-game warband hall by any chance? That would be pretty neat
all we got was that screenshot that looked like the diablo2 character creation screen and the bank
Mm
Agreed I loved garrisons and it’s too bad they use that as an example as to why we can’t have player housing
Put in a WildStar type housing system and bam, you’d bring in a whole new set of players/content
Wildstar 😔
MMO launching with only 4 5 man dungeons 
Think about this for a second - the ICC patch added almost as many 5 mans as Wildstar launched with 
you forgot one thing, wow bad and everything else good

ye
had potential
I mean I was really on the wow bad train
I played
TABULA RASA
general british 
It was just not finished. I think they thought the leveling would take longer and they could finish the game
I do like many of the concepts of Warhammer Online. Their implementation of tanks in PvP was cool AF
It’s so weird to me how much people in WoW mald about PvP tanks. The amount of dueling ass Andies who think 1v1 balance matters is so bizarre
WoW players smh
ppl in wow mald about everything
there's a freerealm of WAR (at least there was)
I tried it for two hours or so
How dare you say this ?!
but it was just too empty 😦


It’ll be a shitshow
They’ll fix it in alpha beta 11.1 Midnight 
never played it, the looks wasnt mine
I liked the combat of Wildstar. Just didn’t have enough content, especially content ready to be consumed by casuals.
It wasn’t for casuals. Which is what made it so good
They leaned into their identity and didn’t try to blanket grab everyone
I mean yeah it wasn’t for casuals but uhh… casuals help pay the bills
“Better to die standing than live on your knees” I suppose. We got to enjoy it while it lasted I guess 
They also shut it down because management was absolutely terrible and NCSoft didn’t give a shit about it
Poor devs though they really did care about that game
@half nova @digital galleon @versed timber @neon latch
Yum
Beef
ooo
They realllllyyyy waiting this 10.2.6 announcement news out huh
Why no tag BAER, @half nova and @neon latch ?
cause im still eating and im scared BAER will eat everything
Oh and @versed timber
Then BAER won't ping @obsidian geyser when BAER shows food...
and @neon latch changed I cant even recognize them 😦
BAER prefers the otter one

id be very surprised if you could guess what this is

is it just a free style rice recipe?
I will give you a cookie if you can guess what this is
(im very very sure you wont be able to guess)
No idea
really you would? I didnt even know they existed like half a year ago
black limes do slap tho

I learnd of those when I researched black garlic
they are quite funky
also used some rose water
its (more or less)
https://www.daringgourmet.com/chicken-machboos-bahraini-chicken-rice/ this recipe
forgot the herbs and added some bell pepper
sounds interesting, saved
Why is there something instead of nothing?
Will take any and all guesses and theories

MFW when waiting for "Viewing Cutscene" during roulettes
I skip all the roulette cutscenes cuz I'm a little cheater
Dude then killed himself with thé chain on ascian prime, giving me 4 vuln stacks in thé process

@timid walrus @half nova @versed timber
@obsidian geyser @neon latch my brunch today
love tomatoes and cucumber on sammichs
Had one of those with mustard this time, its great.
nice
did you "toast" the tomatoes as well?
when was your last time you made onigiri?
Happy to share with Butters!
Never
Butters seems ready for whatever life has to throw at him!
Hm thats a breakfast tho
What's onigiri are those rice balls? And what's with that
yes, salads are a nice addition
No
if you want something nice but easy to make aglio e olio is great too.
add a bit of lemon juice or chilli flakes
quick banger
if you have potatoes you could make gratin or mashed potatoe and spinach
best meal there is
two fried eggs at top
boom
meal for a god
Butters is being cute here !
That's her I want your bacon face
She deserves bacon with that face
Loaf!
What would I fill them with (let's assume no fish)
And think you used some sesame coating, got that not sure the seaweed I have would be a good fit
You can be super free with the filling. Could use plum for something sweat or egg
can also just use meat
@half nova @digital galleon @versed timber @neon latch
I dont have seaweed right now so I used the seeds to coat it but feel free to experiment
@obsidian geyser as well
they are super open to that
uh fancy

The haricot verts are cooked yesterday, BAER just wrapped them today in bacon and put under broiler. Then just boil some potats. And then a butcher bought premade schnitzel
And some instant gravy powder to make gravy
But you can manually mash the poatoes
not the same
Hm

OMW
Leave some for me
Please
yes, but then it aint simple anymore, then BAER has to add milk and butter salt and pepper and mash it
sorry, BAER ate it....

but its simple and easy to make!
this is BAER's working day meal, when BAER dont have much time to cook
today's dinner @timid walrus @obsidian geyser @half nova
@versed timber @neon latch
Did you pickle the cucumber?
Fresh rice?
yes

while the rice cooked I cut the cucumber, onion and tomatoe. Roasted the onion and fried the egg
made the sauce
rice was almsot done when I finished all the things + cleaning up

this channel makes me hungry =O...
It's perfect isn't it?!
I won't have to cook today!
Got enough chicken mahjboos left (or what ever was the exact name)
nice and for tmr?
You can take revenge by posting your food
waiting for bf to get up XD
Why?
huh how did you do that?
I cheese gratered a chunk of my knuckle off

oh that story
Did it improve the dish?
Who hasn't done that?
dunno.. bf threw away the tainted cheese
he doesn't like his squish getting hurt and I'm exceptionally accident-prone XD
That's just part of being a duck
Yea dunno why the bottle no work
thats why BAER is BAER
<@&114146878353833984>
👍
That dude was wild
Thx
damn seems like I missed something
no, BAER prefers food
BAER isnt THAT bad
I got some seaweed to wrap stuff gotta figure out exact filling tomorrow
Psyduck is lame though. Quaxly or Quaquaval much better.
It's the superior Golduck! Water and fighting type! Has Moxie as its hidden ability + its signature move boosts speed and hits like a truck.
Whats wrong with Quaxly
Ente doesn't like him.
hes not nearly as cool as psyduck
Did you see his hair
Evolves into that. Quaxwell.
Then!
Quaquaval.
Literal carnival dancer.
It's a real menace. X)
oh, the water wheel isn't always on display.
Seriously, the future is now old man!
Get with the times!
they arent even the best water starter
It has a solid moveset though. >_>
who cares about that shit
Wanna see the new grass starter? 😄










its the goal
