Big games lacking basic features seems to be the trend lately.
"What's that? You want to be able to play offline in our game in which the only thing mutliplayer does is you can see other people but not interact with them whatsoever? Nah too bad you have to rely on our shitty servers lol"
the AAA scene in general is terrible lately, but there's some mid sized studios or indie games i fell in love with. it's amazing how for example rimworld, a game made by some random canadian with a crowdfunded budget of less than 270k canadian dollars for me personally blows hundereds-of-millions in budget AAA production out of the water in sheer joy i get from playing the game.
When people homogenize their food.
My dad for example; rice always gets sweet soy sauce put on it and steak always gets the same fucking BBQ sauce.
But what happened to day made me quip at him for it.
Yesterday my mom made some kebab meat and I helped with seasoning it.
I made a mixture of seasoned salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander and cinnamon.
And then today during lunch my dad put some fucking store bought tex-mex sauce on it.
Thus I had to ask: "Was it pointless for me to even season the meat?"
Another great example is people who go to Asian fusion restaurants for sushi, grab a soy cop, put in a huge dab of "wasabi", soy and at worst the pickled ginger and then mash it together as some form of dip.
And at that point you might as well be eating just rice if all you want to taste is salt and horseradish.
Which reminds me of this one article that was on the newspaper last month that stated that sushi is actually not all that healthy, because of the white rice and because it's too salty.
Well no shit it's too salty when people dip the entire fucking rice into the soy to soak it all up.
Culture in the United States is nil: it feels like neoliberalism has taken over entirely.
When a review for product starts with "I haven't used it yet BUTTTT"
When people on Amazon answer product questions with "I don't know"/"Probably"
like you realize you're not FORCED to answer these questions right???
Good news: I am getting a payrise
Bad news: this month's pay is late because they fucked up my payrise
I'd say people should be free to do what they want with their food without judgement as long as they're not pushing it on anyone else. Yes, even if they cook their hundred dollar steak into a piece of shoe leather and then dip it in ketchup. If that's what their tastebuds like, who are we to say it's wrong?
However I could see being frustrated with spending time carefully preparing food and having someone just totally ignoring the effort by slathering it in sauce. But, again, if that's how they like it...
Though I do understand the gripe about foods being misconstrued as unhealthy because of the things people do to them after they've been made. It's unfair to the chefs and the food itself.
How many areas of the US have you actually been to?
The problem is that it has nothing to do with their tastebuds, but formed habits robbing them of new taste experiences.
There's the saying "you can't argue with taste", which is idiotic, since there definitely is such a thing as having shit taste.
Like with your stake example, there is definitively arguing that there's a hundred better forms for ketchup delivery than steak.
Not to mention that if someone were to cook a hundred dollar steak to a sole and lathe it in ketchup and defend it as their taste; I'd call them out on poorly and stubbornly trying to defend their abysmal cooking skills.
Also on this similar topic I quite recently had to elucidate my dad on that if a meat sauce (banana & chicken curry) is being served with rice; the point is to put the sauce on the rice and eat them together, to make the meat & sauce provide more portions, rather than having a pile of sauce and a pile of rice.
My grandparents usually rotate between porkchops, sesame garlic chicken, fish fillet and some sort of basic chicken dish. My taste buds have become bland at this point.
I'll agree on the first line since I used to be a stubborn picky eater and would only eat bland food until I actually tried to fan out with more complex ingredients and I discovered what I was missing all those years, but beyond that, if someone tried fancy "properly cooked" steak with all the "right" seasonings and the like and they still prefer the taste of their shoe leather ketchup steak, well, that's just the way their brain processes it and lo and behold they like the way their brain responds to that better and there's nothing inherently wrong with that.
I don't really believe in "acquired taste", if I don't like how something tastes, I'm not going to force myself to consume it until I like it, and I don't really expect anyone else to either.
People can't entirely help what they like to eat IF they've already tried ""better"" and still didn't like it as much.
But I agree with being upset with people who refuse to try anything new/refuse to try anything without slathering it in their favorite sauce or dumping 6 pounds of salt all over it. Especially if they go "ew I don't like this" and never try it again without burying it in other stuff.
Portlandia, NF
Fair. I live in California so I'm probably projecting.
when you make a thing and you're like "i'm gonna show this in the discord server" but someone else is showing off their thing so you wait and then someone else starts showing off their thing so you wait and then that repeats and suddenly it's the end of the day and you just don't even care about showing off your thing anymore
People in my town are so fucking petty
lol this reminds me of when people to to a Chinese restaurant and only order fucking fish and chips (not even a Chinese dish!), or go to a kebab joint and get a doner with meat, lettuce, cheese and sweet chilli sauce. No tabouli, no hummus, no garlic sauce; nothing. And the icing on the cake is when they complain that the sweet chilli is too spicy, haha
People here have such ridiculously narrow palates
Kebab joints may be a bad example. Most people go there more to stuff their face after a night out than for authentic Turkish cuisine.
Msn I hate how much American conservatism has convinced some people that it's okay to be a troll irl and blame it on the political atmosphere.
Three times now just between yesterday and today I've had to put up with someone having an extremely loud political conversation at the cubicle next to mine, obviously fishing for any negative reaction. Anyone who asks them to take their conversation elsewhere is trying to silence them, and anyone who leaves, ignores them, or isn't outright appreciative of the noise they're a triggered snowflake. Like, you're just being loud as fuck, basically shouting indoors. The subject doesn't matter, that's obnoxious regardless.
But no it's because you're a Trump supporter, that's why the (((program admin))) asked you to take your conversation into another room. After all, you asked her "how many leftists she'd asked to do that today" and that's good enough to let you completely ignore her and disregard her authority. And yes I put my earbuds in "because I was afraid of learning something" and it totally necessitated you clasping my shoulder and pulling my earbud out with your gross fingers to ask me that. And yes, I only got mad because you hurt my feelings and not because that's a legitimately annoying thing to do to anyone
And yeah you're only in trouble for all of that because of the "liberalization of the company trying to force you out" and not for your infantile and disruptive behavior. Nah it's all political, don't let us keep you down, push back, be even louder and more obtrusive in response like you've done today.
People that like to kick up a fuss over the ethics of one company/person but will then use the services of a different company / associate with a different person that acts in a similarly shitty way. Thanks for your six-tweet rant about the disgusting homophobia still rampant in first-world countries, but I kinda couldn't take it seriously when you then tweeted about how much you love Chick-fil-A.
I have to do a review presentation for my Communications class. The review could be on anything so I did MGS3. For the presentation I played through the game on an emulator and recorded it with shadowplay. Aside from some slowdown all is good.
Then Vegas Pro 14 has to be a piece of fucking shit and crash every time you blink. I spent over 24 hours straight recording and editing to get the presentation done yesterday and today. I only stopped at 11am because I couldn't physically stay awake any more. Now I'm trying to finish the presentation and, needing only 3-4 clips, Vegas has already crashed more than 5 times.
I'm not even doing anything intensive, I'm just trimming video files to put in power point slides.
I hate how record crackles in incredibly overused in chill songs.
It's not the best alternative (probably not even a good one, but I'll leave that to you to decide), but I know that Blender has a built-in Video Editor, and I've used it a couple times for some videos.
You can find it at the bottom of the drop-down menu for Screens:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/_images/interface_window-system_screens_data-block.png
You can also make use of Blender's Graph Editor to control animated aspected, as well as a Compositor within the Node Editor that you can use for post-processing.
Someone else in the house flashing custom firmware on the router while I slept so I woke up to everything being broken and half functional because all the old settings were wiped entirely.
Fucking shit fucker dick COCK.
Only reason they had access to the router was because, like me, they're home hosting some game servers.
But they only bothered to redo the settings just enough that their servers were connectable at a basic level.
Sigh.
I promise you your zodiac sign is not the reason for you being a lame bitch
Da Vinci Resolve is a free alternative that's pretty great, it's primarily a pro grade color correction program, but they're trying to branch into editing. It's not quite Premier or AVID but it's free so
Here's a fun game to play with someone who believes in horoscopes;
If they ask you what your sign is, lie. Then, after they've spent twenty minutes going "Mhm, yeah, that makes sense. Leos are known for their curiosity, bravery, and in March they tend to act more protective than usual", say "Oh fuck, sorry. Got it wrong. I'm actually Taurus." Watch them backpedal like a motherfucker and try to save face with transparent excuses.
Crisis averted, got everything back up quickly enough. He accepted full responsibility for being lazy (since he knew the settings I had) and jumping the gun.
We were planning on flashing it with OpenWRT for a while anyway since the shitty Netgear firmware was giving us nothing but grief, but I just wish I was told about it before he decided to do it while I was sleeping, of all things.
I'd be okay with most things regarding changes as long as I get warning beforehand. Jeez...
At first glance Netflix seems like a golden opportunity for smaller films to get a wider audience, but then you realize large studios are largely just using it as a dumping ground for total garbage that wouldn't make its money back at the box office, like Cloverfield Paradox.
Work got broken into last night and my boss's first response was suggesting a colleague and I didn't properly close up yesterday.
BECAUSE THE BREAK-IN CLEARLY WASN'T ENOUGH BULLSHIT TO DEAL WITH!
