Food Thread - Those that eat
Grilled chicken quarters. Marinated overnight in mayo and Japanese BBQ sauce then grilled with a sweet honey BBQ sauce. I served it with rice that I cooked with a slice of bacon. I cheat on rice and make minute rice in the microwave... I don't like that about myself either but it comes out perfectly and quickly every time. I served it with a side of halved cherry tomatoes and salt and vinegar chips that I made in the air fryer. My son ate an entire quarter by himself and my wife thought it was the weirdest pairing I've ever done but then cleaned her plate and half of mine.

Just killed my entire party with pain channeling overflow damage. Something tells me that's not supposed to happen. E: curious if anyone knows if the skills that block burst damage to your party work with all AoE attacks? I guess I can test it with Toybox tomorrow... not that I expect it to help with the bugged pain channeling, just got me curious.

The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
I'm pretty sure that the show ended or he was off before the allegations came out and he lost pretty much everything. He's still in the intros but every episode featuring him has been removed.

The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
I'm sure I've watched some stuff over the last month or two but most of it slips my mind. Here's the stuff I remembered. Dave Chapelle and Ricky Gervais stand-ups - These are probably the worst I've seen from either comedian. Iron Chef America - My son is addicted to this show but it's funny how Hulu doesn't show any Mario Batali episodes. I get that he's a sex pest but my wife likes Italian food and I'm looking for ideas. I'm a monster, I know... he typed while listening to the Thriller album. e: We watched part 3 of Lupin as well and might start Echo next

More Hardwood + Round Holes = Lots of Scoring in Basketball 2K19
We play with the head-to-head points setting because it's how Football goes and it was the default. So every single day you get points for the people that you have playing that day and you can have up to 10 starters each day and then you have 3 bench spots and 1 IR spot. Mostly it evens out during the week and you typically have close to the same amount of players over 7 days. Sometimes it gets really wonky and you end up with something like what I have going on and are 11 players in the hole over 7 days.

Youtube recommendations, let's beat the algorithm
I have a sub so I don't get ads but I don't remember how I got the sub. Probably some promo or something. I still use AdBlock though for the times I don't care to log in because lazy.

Cinema and Movie Thread: coming at you at 24fps
My wife had like 200 movies on a bunch of USB drives so I got her a small (physically small) external hard drive so she only has to keep track of that. Not that it's much to keep track of as it's just connected to the TV at all times.

What You've Done Today - We do not remember days, we remember moments
I'm also doing a bunch of pushups. Currently at 50 a day working up to 100. I can't run or even walk much but with decent eating habits and all my bodyweight exercises, not to mention that I was sick during the gorging period from Festivus to New Year's Day, I'm in pretty good shape for this part of the year.

My fantasy team is killing me. This week my opponent has 11 more players/games this week and that's not something you can overcome.

My wife called it offensively generic and the definition of a 5/10 movie.

What You've Done Today - We do not remember days, we remember moments
Work is kicking my butt. Our scheduling coordinator person is out and the bosses are just throwing projects around without vetting them or doing any of the stuff that the other person does so it's making everything harder and take longer. They don't realize I've been putting up record numbers because of the other person doing the dirty work and it's not doable if I have to herd all these cats myself.

Only she can't bear monkeigh touch and is also useless at that. I would much rather have an orc or abhuman.

warhammer 40k: rogue trader
Just hit chapter 5 so naturally it's time to start over instead of finishing the game. Thinking of going iconoclast with dual pistols this time around and giving Argenta a sniper rifle instead of bolters. Last game was a dogmatic psyker for the helm that gives you +dogmatic rank psy rating and the scarf for another +2 and the item that gives psy rating number of attacks. Who am I kidding, I'll probably end up a psyker again, maybe force sword psyker or something.

Biscuits and sausage gravy with bacon on the side and an over easy egg on top.

I also prefer bleu cheese but I like ranch a lot too

What are you Playing Now? - Back to the Grind
I don't know how prevalent this is but I know I was out as soon they announced it had cards and deck building. All interest immediately lost and never checked again.

We had pizza. Hawaiian for my wife, cheese for my son, and mushroom and garlic with pepperoni on half for me. I also had a side of ranch dressing for dipping. I'm not a big fan of ranch but I eat it chicken wings and pizza occasionally.

One last note on the steak thing. A good chunk of the people I served in the military with ended up going into food services and they all told me that by ordering your steak well done you're actually more likely to get a subpar cut of meat because you can cover up most of the sketchiness by cooking the hell out of it. Last night I made p'sghetti with some jarred sauce that had porcini mushrooms that I punched up with sweet Italian sausage, tomato paste, spices, and pasta water. Tonight is leftovers.
