  1. Not Ramsey but I do love me some cooking shows
  2. Beef Wellington, mushroom risotto, and some roasted potatoes
  3. It's our 8th wedd'n anniversary so I'm trying to cook a schmancy dinner
  4. I tried to send it to you but your mailbox is full
  5. Didn't that exact same argument come up here on these forums? Spider milk?
  6. According to the twitter post it is Which twitter post? The only one I've seen is the one linked in this thread and I don't see any references to either of those things From draego's post and we know that Private Division is publishing the Cainarsky game so it must be it
  7. If you don't have access then you can have mine if you want
  8. Depends on the game but what comes to mind for me is the NBA 2K series. They started stretching out the game to add grind and then added the microtransactions to then skip the grind they purposefully added to the game. Then to take it even further they started removing features from the offline game so you had to play online, where they push you towards spending money, to play the fully featured game that you used to get out of the box for your 60 bucks. I'll counter that with an example where I think the mtx works or used to before the new lootboxes, Lord of the Rings Online. As a MMO is was always kind of grindy and always had deeds where you had to kill hundreds of something to finish but when they went free to play they added deed accelerators that allow you to finish those objectives in half the time. Add to that it's very easy to earn decent amounts of cash shop currency in game and both the lootboxen and keys to open them were landscape drops and deed rewards. Here the game plays almost exactly as it did before even if you don't spend a dime and spending money lets you speed things up from normal as the devs didn't slow the base game down to push you to spend as they did with NBA 2K. So, I guess the difference is if it feels exploitative
  9. Anyone try Flashpoint yet?
  10. It's better than some addictions
  11. It's bigger then Deadfire No real good way to estimate the time based on my playthroughs because the load times were terrible and I had a million bugs that I had to load older saves or wait for patches to get around
  12. 18 was as high as I got
  13. This made me smile for some reason* so I wanted to share it *probably alcohol
  14. It's very sad that he lost his life but he also sounds like the worst combination of crazy and stupid sprinkled with a dash of arrogance and maybe a hint of nutmeg
  15. I'm struggling to get out of bed. If I can accomplish this today then the sky is the limit
  16. Is that in relation to this? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/23/world/asia/andaman-missionary-john-chau.html
  17. I want great climate
  18. Yesterday was a major holiday in my country so I was slow responding
  19. Nope, I cancelled my subscription because I was mostly just giving away games here and the people I was trying to gift games to didn't really want anymore. They don't play games at a volume sufficient to need new games every month.
  20. For this Thanksgiving I am making ham, turkey, lamb stew, cranberry sowse, and gravy while my wife is making the mashed potatoes which I am helping with. Team work
  21. Making Thanksgiving dinner. Once again this year I recommend that if any of you are making turkey to butterfly/spatch**** it. Comes out better easier and cooks in a fraction of the time. Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble gobble
