    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    That helps, thanks. I'm gonna grab that Weber, it's within the budget. "Something that won't fall apart" is enough for me. What's the benefit of a chimney starter? I've got a lot of space, it's a legit patio that I need to make use of. Grilling on a fire escape would be very NYC

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Want to start doing some outdoor grilling now that I'm in a place with more room. Had a BBQ steak recently and it was amazing, better than the steaks I cook at home. I thought I was doing a good job with those, but now they're not good enough. The friend that cooked said BBQ is going to show me...

    -Wrestlemania 40 was them retelling Starrcade 97, only doing it right -Oba vs Brock was them doing the Goldberg vs. Ultimate Warrior match that WCW could have done in 1998 and inexplicably didn't (yeah, it wouldn't have been good but it would have done a monster buyrate in Fall 98) -Oba vs...

    AEW isn't the most popular around here, but some AEW news: Adding an 11th PPV, Redemption, in July. This'll function as setup for All In, sort of like No Way Out was for Wrestlemania. Up to 11 PPVs now I believe, only month that's missing one is January. The individual PPV buyrates aren't what...

    Crimson Desert

    So I take it this game isn't something one just runs the MSQ in, and I should just kick back and enjoy the game. I mainly want to run around RKOing people.

    That's why I noted that they were Jewish. I know exactly why nothing I did was good enough. It was kind of nuts. We were together for 18 months and I later found out that her parents didn't even know we were together for like the first two thirds of that, she kept telling them we were friends. I...

    Turo, the airbnb of Car Rentals

    Was thinking of only renting it out one or two weekends a month when I'm not going anywhere anyway, and screening the renters (old people good, college students bad). That said, it's in such good condition, and I take good care of it (wash nearly every day, regular maintenance) that I have zero...

    Car ?'s

    I think the Tesla dashboard is rubber. It's an unusual rubbery material that grips things really well (you can put a drink or a phone on the center console, which is also this material, and it won't fall down or slide around).

    How long is the MSQ if I just beeline that? I really don't have time to dink about in this game any more than necessary.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Does that M30 work on Switch Online as well as PC? I have an 8bitdo SNES controller around here somewhere, if it works on Switch Online for SNES playing I'll see if I can find it, because that would be awesome.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Switch Online is a lot better than the last time I had it (a year or two ago). The Sega Genesis collection in particular is waaaaay better. Problem is, for Sega, you want to have the right controller. Old Nintendo games I can generally play with any modern controller, since they're all...

    Resident Evil Requiem

    Put down your dick and grab a controller, cause this game is great. It's about 50% survival horror ala traditional RE, and 50% Leon Kicking Asses ala RE2/4. It's a fusion of RE7 and RE4 that isn't as good as either but it's pretty good regardless. It's a game to play in the dark if you want to...

    What are you playing?

    Man, I've always wanted to get into the RDRs, because as a kid I was obsessed with "cowboys and indians" and pretty much anything pertaining to that era of time. The weapons, the outfits, the horses, all that. Always wanted a video game in that kind of setting where you could go around and do...

    Good way to get rid of glue on a dashboard? I've got a nasty circular glue patch on the dashboard from when I tried to hook a phone holder up to it recently (it didn't take, I gave up). Will have to just scrape it off, don't want to damage the dashboard though. It's like very stiff goo, and it...

    Spaceballs 2

    What's a good thing to watch to see why people love John Candy so much? I've seen Spaceballs obviously, and fairly recently I went back and watched Planes Trains and Automobiles. Even though that movie alone was enough to kinda love the guy, I imagine there are other works of his I should see...

    Rate Movies You've Recently Watched.

    Together - 9/10 Probably the best horror movie I've watched in years, and had the same kind of viscerally scary body horror as The Substance. I'm confused as to why the missing couple turned out so poorly while the other fusions worked. Holy shit though, surprised this movie flew under the...

    Street Fighter (2026)

    Wait, the overpowered chick from the Steel Dragons or whatever they were called? She's insanely hot. In RL she's won like 13 world championships in martial arts in 13 years. Kenny Omega should have played either M. Bison or Akuma. Roman Reigns will probably be a solid Akuma, so give the Bison...

    Street Fighter (2026)

    Kenny Omega showing up in Impact really was the most significant moment on Impact in like the past decade, as is this promo. The best promos are the ones that are based in truth. I thought Chun Li and Cammy were gonna make out, which is probably what I was supposed to think. Then they wimped...

    Avengers: Doomsday (2025)

    I feel like they're going to do something shocking like that. Had a dream where Thanos returned (from a different timeline) and the movie opened with him attacking Earth. He kills off a bunch of the new characters that people didn't like (Ironheart, She Hulk, etc) to escalating crowd pops. Just...

    Spaceballs 2

    I don't know who Josh Gad is but I have the same visceral physical revulsion to seeing him that I had to seeing Jared Fogle back when he was just the Subway guy. $1000 says he turns out to be a horrible creep within the next 5-10 years

    Spaceballs 2

    This would have been awesome. Way better than "the new one" which is...lame and uncreative. Just have it be "Spaceballs 3: The Search For More Money" and have them never reference where the second one went until the movie drops and the movie itself references it. Then if it's a success they...

    Reminds me of when I went to Anime Boston and they had these huge "Gender-Inclusive Bathroom" banners hanging over every single bathroom entrance in the Hynes Convention Center. It was like stepping into another world of inclusivity. And I thought... how necessary is this effort? And if it's...

    Crimson Deserters, after much time and consideration, we here at Rajaah have decided not to pursue a playthrough of Crimson Desert with my time off. Too many other long-overdue things I could be getting to with that time instead. It seems like a cool game, though, and you can hit things with the...

    Game development career thread:

    About ten years ago I was enrolled in the game design program at Full Sail University in Orlando for one semester. It didn't pan out (game coding is too esoteric for me and I figured that out fast) but I did gain a lot of video-making skills from working with their high-powered laptop...

    Metro 2039

    Well this is gonna look amazing on the PS5 Pro. Story, and also the visuals are usually top shelf, "best in class" type of visuals for their era. Metro: Last Light on the PS3 was a rare 1080p game and looked like it was from the future / a different console generation. Basically a PS3.5 game...

    Enemy placement in DS2 was really bad compared to the others, yes. Can't remember how it was in vanilla DS2. Since I played Scholar first on PS4, then went back and played vanilla on PS3, as I do with Fromsoft. Which reminds me, is it worth playing much of the original Oblivion now that...

    Wot? That's literally what I'm saying in the statement at the end. That I prefer a short game with soul over a long game with a ton of content....and this seems like the latter, based on the thread. And the EQ thing is largely based on... so many people in this thread mentioning EQ and that...

    Friend of mine tried Bloodborne for the first time and beat Cleric Beast on the first try, at whatever the default level is. Only other From game he played is Elden Ring, which he played for like 150 hours, so that's probably why. He was like "I thought Bloodborne was supposed to be super hard"...

    Even though he's a woke busybody looking for things to get "concerned" about, that Jaffe guy is kind of not wrong to make the observation that that's an on the nose depiction of a stereotype. Is it an intentional one or not is the question. Is he an anti-semite for noticing this? If someone...

    Yeah man. There was a time when I would have been really down for this. It sounds like a single-player EQ, which is exciting, and I'm still going to give it a try in a week once my vacation starts. But I'll say this, I'm mostly playing it to see how insane the visuals are on my new PS5 Pro and...

    Did a lot of Uber the past several years to make ends meet (quite lucrative around a metropolitan area, it turns out). Got a big ol' 1099-K for it. Have to process it myself this year, where previously I had other people do it for me. Trying to put this in on Freetaxusa which I used in the...
