Olives, chilis, walnuts, even raisins sometimes

if you want the ghetto version, buy fries, buy gravy (dried is okay), buy chewy cheddar cheese and mix them together once they are all hot

if you want fancy korean version, replace fries with those rice cake sticks

feed the topokki to the cuttle fish
Theres a good Korean bar type place not far from me I go for fried chicken, they also have this spicy ramyun topokki that's so good alskdhalsdh.

(remembering the time I ate squid on topokki... sweat... seafood topokki with spicy red sauce and cheese is good...)
pallid epoch
Honestly anything with seafood is gonna be good imho
so scratch that, put the cuttlefish in the topokki hahaha
Man those rice cakes have such a good texture tho I'm definetly doing the gravy cheese stuff on it sometime. Thank you for educating me.
wide ember
tbh I like trying sauces that are not red sauce on topokki because the red sauce is too spicy for me
I remember buying the mild one and still felt it was too hot
(cuttlefish are not squid and should probably not be eaten? not sure, never tried eating a cuttlefish, it's the emotional equivalence of eating a parrot)
pallid epoch
Oh yeah I love spicy food but topokki and a lot of korean food is soooo spicy. I'm trying to build up my tolerance so I can eat more haha;;; But even though i eat a lot of ramyun in my #brokecollegelifestyle even the mild ones can hit pretty hard haha;;
I have no idea if people eat cuttle fish but if it came out of the water I'll pretty much try anything
pallid epoch
HELL YEAH. Actually speaking of fries too, a friend taught me that if you get fries and sprinkle the ramyun seasoning packet on them....man its so good
blissful charm
also speaking of fries, you know what's amazing? gravy on fries
faint panther
Yeah, that's what poutine is: Fries and cheese curds covered in gravy.
Hm, idea: Sweet potato poutine with bacon gravy.
wide ember
sweet potato fries are amazing and there are many sauces that are excellent with them
spicy mayo for example is very good with sweet potato fries
but the last time I had sweet potato poutine, the gravy overwhelmed the sweet of the sweet potatos, so it was so so
...I should try shin ramyun poutine one day
pallid epoch
oof spicy mayo and sweet potatos is a resounding yes from me

A dev for a game I gave a negative review for just contacted me and was like, "We updated the game, would you play it again with a free code and give us an updated review?
and then when I was like, "I don't really feel like playing it more" they were like, "Well could you delete your review?"
analog spear
Honestly if I was a dev I would ask for a re review, especially if the old review has outdated info
serene tulip
What I really should do is ask to be put on contract as a consultant
analog spear
I think reviews of early access games should be deleted on full release
Or at least when it’s in it’s “done” stage
serene tulip
Thats one of the things that bugged me though
is this game wasn't an early access game
analog spear
Oh yea I was just saying in general
wide ember
in general steam does use the early access label for early access games
though other platforms don't always have that
might be why steam is still one of the top platform of choice for devs
also @serene tulip do you mean as some kind of QA

@pallid epoch my all time favorite free drawing program is Krita. It's the one I use currently
It has good base brushes but you can download custom ones as well, and there are neat ones around for free. Also it has pretty much many or all of the features you'd find in other programs, I think
pallid epoch
hohoho! ill try those out then thank you!!
Also i disagree humans created clothes to test the degree they were willing to suffer trying to draw wrinkles and discover how many materials they could fold and in how many ways. The human body is much easier.
But I can barely draw anything in general so idk how valid the opinion is XD

hey, quick q. is it in bad form to reschedule an interview the day of? i have an interview in two hrs but im worries abt my cat and am thinking of taking her to the vet
tardy anchor
tbh i think you should reschedule, you still have a few hours
its kind of bad form but if ur cat is That worrying. absolutely take care of her 😭
somber ferry
i think if it's an emergency, you should definitely communicate this with the people you're interviewing. rescheduling the day of is probably not the best look, but if they're a reasonable company, they'll at the very least understand
and if it's an emergency, go take care of what you have to. your cat is a living being that needs to be taken care of.
if a company gets offended you need to reschedule because you're worried your cat is seriously ill, then i don't think that reflects well back on the company
blissful charm
hhhhh thank you everyone
it's mostly i think she's dehydrated so i need to take her to a vet to get fluids

I just met my personal hero
He's a painter by the name of Ken Reif, and I became familiar with his work because the restaurant I work at lets a bunch of local artists display their pieces, and his are right next to the front desk (I am a host).
One of my favorite pieces of his looked exactly like the woods I hike in every other week with my family and, as it turns out, I was right
I went to one of his art shows today and I asked him about it, and he said it was in fact those woods, and I'm just so happy
This is the first and only piece of art I have ever purchased

Its also a game where you can set your own pace, so no need to permanently play catchup to the long-time players

I'd ask what kind of games you've played in the past first before I recommend something, that way I can tailor a suggestion to your tastes instead of just randomly throwing stuff at you I like.

Black Desert Online is frankly rubbish

i had no clue what to do when i played it

i do only have 14 hours tho
north hamlet
ok i'll make sure to avoid black desert then lol
my friend and i usually play games like stardew valley and terraria together
we strongly prefer pve over pvp and are fine with grind or fast paced content
in terms of mmos we've played my friend liked tree of savior while i liked elder scrolls online
complex and flexible character building/progression is a big plus for the both of us
hasty kernel
Ill get back to you in a bit, gotta go out for a bit, but GW2 sounds like it could be right up your alley
north hamlet
i've heard good things about it before so it seems promising
thanks for the help ^^
serene tulip
I liked black desert online's combat
and I think it had a few other promising-but-not-good features
but literally that's it
hasty kernel
Alright, so here is the deal
Character building/progression is generally pretty linear in MMOs
You levelup, you get set skills at set levels, and you have no real choices in what skills you get or what they do
Sometimes you get a couple of binary choices, like choosing whether you want Version A or Version B of a skill X
But even thats not much
In terms of actual choice, in the B2P/F2P MMOs I have played I can only think of GW2, PSO2, maybe Archeage (didnt get far enough into it to know whether it goes beyond choosing 3 "classes" and getting their skills) and possibly ESO (again, didnt get far enough in it either, but you know ESO so youre probably more aware anyway)
PSO2's western release isnt out yet, and the japanese version requires a fanmade localisation launcher that is honestly just a pain to deal with, so its Archeage and GW2 primarily
And GW2 is free and has no queue, so Id check it out first
If not, try Archeage, Ive heard good things about it
One small suggestion I have though, dont start with thief
north hamlet
Why not?
hasty kernel
Build diversity is lacking, and the gameplay fits into 2 broad categories
"Extremely easy and boring in PvE" and "So complicated people just dont bother"
Oh and it plays very differently due to not having cooldowns, so switching to another class can be jarring
hasty kernel
No problem
If you got any questions, I can answer most of them, including about classes
north hamlet
👍
hasty kernel
I am curious though, given that you played ESO before, why not go for it?
north hamlet
We thought it might be more fun if the both of us go in fresh

A fun fact about the writing of The Cat From Hell: Stephen King went to his neighbor's house, he was a doctor, and asked him if it was possible for the average house cat to fit down the average adult man's throat.
The answer may surprise you!

that's horrifying

Yes it is and I'm omitting details from the story.

Average diameter I'm guessing. It's been a while since I read that story and the notes that went along with it

I wonder if its called "unfortunate souls" because it looks kinda like Ursulas colours from the little mermaid

As much as I dislike Defiance, it has the coolest ideas out of all the series
Also I like the concept of the spirit reaver

Really? I liked Defiance. The only game I dislike is Blood Omen 2 really lmao. Though, I can understand why some people don't like it... Some things tick me off as well and I didn't like it as much as SR1, SR2 or even BO1

he lets them in the wild and they come and eat 75kg of rice per meal, two meals a day

not enough parrots
faint panther
...How does he pay for that?
wide ember
out of his own pocket, which costs him 40% of his salary
it all started when a pair of indian ringneck parrots were hiding from the tsunami and he took them in
the parrots made babies and he fed the babies as well, and the babies got babies, and it snowballed

I sincerely wish I felt as dedicated to anything as this dude does to these parrots.

Bruh, I want to do comp sci so I can get into the gaming industry, but I'm not the best at math. Which sucks, cuz SG got me into wanting to make games as a career. But at this point, idk what else I want to focus on other than maybe psychology. Can't draw for crap and can't animate, so WHOOP DEE FREAKIN DOO, just rollin' with it at this point.

Because A, the fun stuff requires coding anyway, and B, you cant study just formal comp sci (unfortunately)
Or theoretical Comp Sci

Why can't you study formal comp sci? or theoretical comp sci?
Is that just firmly in the math department?

More than that its just not an available study
As for why, I imagine part of it is just that Comp Sci is a relatively "new" field
Its not gotten to the point where it can be split

Here is a fun fact: keto diets can help with epilepsy in some cases
But yeah you don't normally want ketones running amok
faint panther
My body freaks the hell out if I don't give it carbs so I don't even try ketosis.
north hamlet
Bodies are weird
serene tulip
I haven't really had issues with keto
somber ferry
actually, keto was originally developed as a treatment for epilepsy! it was never intended to be a weight loss diet.
it's not as commonly prescribed anymore though afaik
no one knows why it helps epileptics, but it was a common treatment for a while until we developed medicines for it.
analog spear
I’ve just had som bad personal experience with Ketones, but that’s mostly because of type one diabetes, it got past the point where it was just metabolizing fat and it was starting to digest muscle
Luckily we caught the diabetes in time and I’m mostly fine
I rely on auto correct too much lol

I cannot make chocolate chip cookies for the life of me and it is heartbreaking.

I think the solution is to actually practice, but when the pan comes out kinda bum I feel like a jerk and don't wanna try again.
I don't know.
The last two times I tried to bake premade cookie dough I goofed it, so I've been strictly buying cookies for a while now.
Uuugh, why are Boos Blocks all almost $1000?

Cookies are one of the most forgiving baked goods
Even when they're not just right they're still delicious
cedar rock
baking in general is not very forgiving, but i agree
my favorite recipe for cookies is probly from chef john
hes the best
hasty kernel
Soups and stews are the most forgiving types of food to make
Though then again, I did manage to burn soup before
upbeat scroll
Salad is also pretty forgiving
somber ferry
favorite salad to make: arugula, strawberries, and feta topped with a dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper
so good
faint panther
You should add the zest of the lemon to that.
cedar rock
i think my fav salad is one with dried cranberries, walnuts, and blue cheese
altho its really just an excuse to eat blue cheese
somber ferry
i am not a bleu cheese fan tbh :( probably the only cheese i don't like
faint panther
Bleu cheese-stuffed sausage burger is pretty excellent.
cedar rock
😔 its like my fav cheese
ohhh yes its great on burgers too
one of my all time favorite burgers is the combo of preztel bun, sauteed mushrooms and blue cheese
faint panther
I'm also convinced pretzel buns are the superior way to enjoy a burger.
somber ferry
i'm a big fan of potato rolls personally
faint panther
BROTHA.
cedar rock
yea potato rolls are also so good
faint panther
I need to try a potato roll burger, never had one before.

i think i only like pretzel buns on certain kinds. potato has its own place imo
oh yea its a classic
a smash burger on potato roll

you ever eat at shake shack? it's what they serve their burgers on

there's some good pizza up in boston but generally boston is not somewhere to get italian food
oh what! i love white pizza!
hasty kernel
Deep dish looks like it would be too cheesy
cedar rock
yea the proportions of deep dish are definitely different from what one would be used to in a regular pizza
somber ferry
i've never had it but i'm skeptical because 1. isn't that basically a casserole and 2. it sounds very doughy
faint panther
Deep dish very much lives up to its reputation as a pie.
cedar rock
not you too lit 😭 i swear to god everyones first complaint is that its a casserole.
somber ferry
putting the pie in pizza pie
LOL
I MEAN
i've lived in new york my whole life so naturally i am opinionated about pizza
cedar rock
in hawaii there is a burger called a loco moco
which doesnt use a bun but instead just puts it on rice
and its still a burger!
deep dish is closer to pizza than loco moco is to a burger
faint panther
Really?
cedar rock
so a pizza it shall stay. and that is my stance
hasty kernel
I mean, strictly speaking, its the patty that makes a burger
somber ferry
i've heard about the loco moco and i wanna try it
faint panther
Does it eat like a burger? Do I still pick it up with my hands or do I eat it with a fork?
somber ferry
it's like served on rice and topped with gravy and a fried egg, right?
cedar rock
yea

yum
