Frozen veggies are perfectly fine in taste and nutrition. Depending on what produce and season it is, they might even be better (frozen berries in the winter for example). Their main issue is texture when thawed, which may not always be suitable for every dish. However, precise texture...

As I mentioned in another thread, I started baking my own sourdough. I generally avoided eating grains before, but my fiance is typically Norwegian and likes to have bread for lunch. Bread in the market here is surprisingly expensive bread for how the crap quality is, this annoyed me so much...

I eat and use tomatoes frequently, but I've just started roasting them. It is amazing what a difference it makes. I can't believe how much I've cooked or pickled them in other ways but missed roasting. My first experiment was a roasted tomato and roasted pepper bruschetta (on my sourdough)...

You are likely having trouble because of the kind of dough you are using. For pizza you ideally want a high protein (13%) finely milled (tipo "00") flour. The generally considered best flour for this purpose is Caputo Cuoco flour, but the important part is the protein content and milling and...

I should probably take this to the cooking thread, but if the dough is tearing you may not be developing the gluten enough. What kind of flour are you using and what does your dough making process look like? Made this about a week ago:

You'd be surprised how low a level of status you have to hit in order for woman to start throwing themselves at you and trying to break up your marriage. My grandfather was a successful car salesman and eventually opened up a couple of dealerships (this was back before huge corporations owned...

It sounds to me like you've diagnosed your immediate issue, but there is definitely more going on underneath that you need to work on. While not a perfect law of the universe, you generally get out of something what you put into it. If you are putting zero effort into cultivating relationships...

What do you do for fun, how do you spend your free time? Also, what does your social interaction look like during a typical week?

Your friends (and family if that is relevant). Just sort of doing a differential to try and help. I understand feeling lonely and I have absolutely no issues with prostitution or gay relationships, but from what you've mentioned I get the impression that you are spending your time pursuing...

What do your non-romntic relationships look like?

That was my conclusion too, my fiance is 5th order relationship that started 10 years ago. I became friends with a guy at work who was a local (and therefore had a social network in place). I met a now close friend during an MST3K party at his house, we bonded over our mutual love of Pop Tarts...

If you are looking for a partner then even if you were bi, you are much more likely to find a woman to settle down with. Just by virtue of math finding a compatible female partner is way easier than a male one. Truth be told it is really hard to diagnose the issues you are having from across...

Thought I'd pop in to receive my R.I.P.s. Got engaged in Rome in May and am getting married in August. Trying for kids will likely start shortly thereafter. On topic... I think what everyone meant was things besides what you mentioned Khane. Having proper hygiene and proper clothes that fit...

If they are actually employing 500 people like that article says then they are absolutely mulching cash. At that rate even $46M only lasts 9 or so months.

I am impressed, it must be very difficult to write articles while living so far up Robert's butthole.

I just built the slickster ranch in the oil biome with a mesh floor above the existing giant pool of crude. Ended up working great.

Derek Smart is absolutely salty and more than a little out of his mind. But he isn't entirely off the mark when it comes to Star Citizen. I don't know about the off shore stuff and the extra financing, but their public funding numbers rather suspiciously match their (estimated) monthly burn...

It sounds great in theory, unfortunately due to lack of design the execution is far from what it should be. If you haven't yet read the earlier posts I made on the X Series, you should do that first. X4 has all of those problems and some of its own, such as the even more basic and worse core...

I'd recommend: You could also watch his latest play-through. He tends to explain the reasons for his actions as he goes along.

So no. They still can't design their way out of a wet paper bag.

Have they actually addressed any of the real problems I mentioned earlier? Is combat better than what I witnessed on stream? Do you actually end up doing anything that has any purpose or meaning at all? And of course negative reviews will be from short play times due to the refund window...

Have you never played 4x games before or do you just not understand what I am saying? You absolutely can get to a point where you have finished making all your decisions and winning is just a matter of moving somethings while clicking end turn. The reason it is annoying is because ending turns...

I thoroughly enjoyed Strike Suit Zero. It is a mission based dog fighting game, but the mechanics and concepts are excellent. Also, if you are looking for more naval style capital ship combat I played the hell out of Rebel Galaxy and it was a great experience. The latter has a sandboxy...

Jessi. The only public thing anyone has said about her was from Jack on a pre-rec stream. And all he said was that Jessi chooses not to appear on camera anymore. It is speculated that she was getting horribly stalked and harassed. Edit: Found a link

I mean, you could say size, I'd probably say pointlessly complex and tedium filled.

XR has SETA too. Which, frankly, I consider an indicator of the fact that they don't know how to design a cohesive experience so they just say fuck it put in a speed up button.

I haven't played much ED, because it bored me to absolute tears right away, but I think the main difference is the single player 4x-like aspects of the game. They are woefully underdeveloped for the reasons I already talked about but in theory you can buy ships and put together fleets that can...

*sigh* Been watching some streams and am currently watching ObsidianAnt play. They have clearly learned absolutely nothing in terms of game design and all the problems I outlined above are still there. He is currently doing the "Dogfight" combat loop where you just turn in the same direction...

Way to be extremely wrong. At least "paint the map blue" is a fucking long-term goal, the X games can't even be asked to have that. 4x have similar late-game "you've won but need to keep playing" issues. That is true for TW, but also for MoO2, and pretty much all of the Civilization games...

There is a difference between multiple or open ended goals and having any decision you make go nowhere. Like I said, because they work on a middle-out approach they have this in the middle layer, which actually shouldn't be a layer at all, but the glue that holds grand strategy and tactics...

The X series was just ok until Rebirth, which was a strange sideways step for them. They had somewhat correct ideas but failed to execute so spectacularly that it is hard to comprehend. Their main problem is that programmers (specifically the CEO) are designing the game and it shows on every...

Did they really do that? What a clusterfuck. Although I'd say it is about 50% likely that was due to SJW stuff and 50% likely it is because they are jealous of how rich Norway is so they just wanted to fuck with them :P Anyway, if anyone is interested in what actually happened...

It is less about it being worth the money, it seems so now, and more about whether waiting a couple of months will improve my experience with the game. Take Rimworld for instance, I have been devouring that game lately, but I actually purchased it 3 or so years ago. I played it for about 10...

This is sitting on my wish list waiting for release. Since it is a game that looks right up my alley I very much want to wait for 1.0 before diving in. So my question is, how complete do you think it is and when do you think it will have its 1.0 release?

Damn it, you got me :D

But why are those "major features that keep me coming back to this game." Those aren't game features, they are basic how the low level technical shit works requirements. Do you buy every game made in Unreal because the engine does such a good job with asset loading, LoDing, and culling and it...

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not. Those are things every major game and engine already does, and has done for decades.

Door speeds goes wood > Steel > Stone, however someone did some testing on Youtube and apparently Stone Auto-doors are the most thermally efficient doors when using the shortest airlock due to the timing of the opening and closing speed. It has something to do with the amount of time both are...

That is the best euphemism for unplayable and empty that I have heard in a while. :D

Yea, that part was definitely wrong. I used a ladder up against the glass since that is the only part able to actually support your weight. As someone else mentioned earlier, if they had just shown that he stood on a filing cabinet or something up against the glass and went over that way it...
