Happy birthday!

I’m usually simple, haha. Grilled new York strip steak, grilled corn on the cob, onion strings, and a dollop of creamy mashed potatoes.

Either that or carbonara.

Lemon bars, banana pudding (with nilla wafers), or my great grandma’s angel food cake recipe for dessert.

Good luck figuring it out

With Ironclad, I really love when you get a good strength build going. Demon Form early game is so cash money

With the Silent, Poison builds are my go to, but if you get a good something going with Shivs in the beginning, it’s so much fun.

The Defect, I recently defeated A3 with a channel lightning build - where you channel for every time you get hit. I was channeling, i think 6 every hit and had +4 focus, so when the heart did the 4x12 attack, it destroyed itself. Felt incredible.

I haven’t yet figured out a solid strat for The Watcher, but divinity is fun and I enjoy going full wrath, but having enough defense to back that up proves difficult.

In terms of similar games, if I’m feeling a little more casual/braindead, Peglin is a lot of fun with a similar deckbuilding style. I have yet to figure out any really good builds and I think some balls are definitely better than others, but it’s still fun and super casual.

Ironclad is so good to rely back on for consistent builds, I feel like. I think I have the most fun with The Silent and The Defect, personally, but Ironclad runs are just so straightforward and there’s so many good builds.

I’ve pulled out an old laptop to try Linux Mint because I’m really over Windows’ whole thing and I just need to get my hands on mint before I fully commit. But thanks for the shoutout!

Oh that’s great to hear! Are the fans loud? I could get a smaller case, but I read the stock fans are quiet and work well.

2x22" is what I have already and it fits my desk well and it’s not too much, if that makes any sense. I’m going to also look at an ultrawide physically over the weekend and see how it feels, but i like to snap windows to the sides of the screens and I don’t know enough about ultrawides to know if you can do that easily, haha

Ohhh! Thanks!

Let myself make an impulse decision so I’m getting a tattoo that is completely silly and stupid. I’m hoping I won’t regret it

I’ve been thinking the same thing for this, but Liftoff

On the one hand, Annapurna seems to know what they’re doing - Nimona was fantastic. On the other hand, I think it’s going to be hard to make this into a movie. I’m assuming they’ll focus on the journey of the cat and the environment around it, but they’ll have to fill all of the other space, hopefully with the robots and their personalities.

I’ve seen an uptick in shirts and bumper stickers along the same lines and they always make me happy. “You are valued” “You’re beautiful” “I hope something good happens to you today”. They’re great messages and seeing them worn or displayed is a force of positivity more people need, for sure.

I picked up Slay the Spire after kinda recently learning about deck building games and how much I apparently love them. Been having a bunch of fun and beat the game for the first time just recently. Now I have to do it with the other characters :3

This is exactly what I came to say. Thank you for having taste

Absolutely this. I make a slightly different version.

Halve a few cucumbers, chop into 1/2" pieces, I then crush line under a plate or bowl, not to pulp but just to break them up some. Salt and set aside for a few minutes to draw some moisture out. Drain, then add a tbsp or so of gochujang, a clove or so of garlic, tsp or so sesame oil, splash ponzu, 1 tsp sugar, and chili flakes to taste.

Honestly I’ve even just parsed it down to gochujang and sesame oil and it’s great.

Excellent side dish to so many things.

I can’t say if the quality is still the same, but I bought a Chromebook when they first came out for $99 and that little buddy has lasted me a decade now. It’s seen me through a deployment, a degree, several moves, and has been through a load of abuse and come out the other side working as spiffy as day one, minus some scuff on the screen. (Unfortunately Google has recently aged it out, but I’ll find a use for it with a virtual machine perhaps).

I imagine most little netbooks are similarly built and can withstand a boatload, although their computing power definitely lacks.

I was over the moon for a second because of the studio switch. But I goofed and was thinking Supergiant Studios, not Supermassive. Still, Supermassive has some decent hitters under the belt. Hopefully everything goes well.

Ehhh. I wouldn’t say the only people who want an office setting are managers. There are definitely some bonuses to going in to work for some people - a very “to each their own” situation.

But I think the distinction there becomes the “traditional” office setting, because, yeah, no one likes that corporate bull.

Could you dehydrate them and later use them in oatmeal or cereals?

Also, try home made fruit roll ups. They’re absolutely delicious and very easy to make

I agree with the sentiment but not the words, Haha. I work 4x10s and would by far rather work on a Friday than a Monday, although I do switch it up sometims to take advantage of holidays and such. But to each their own, ofc.

Dang. This definitely hits hard. What a great line and what a great insight.

I think a few other commenters have said the same about already knowing what I want but just not being able to take the step. I think this will help.

Thanks :)
