Harry Dean Stanton Memorial [chat]

You've seen him, even if you didn't know his name. He was one of the great character actors of...I was about to say "of his generation," but motherfucker was 91 with a career stretching from an Alfred Hitchcok movie in 1956 to a John Hughes movie in the 1980s to David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" in the summer of 2017.

He was Brett in Alien.

He was Molly Ringwald's dad in Pretty in Pink.

He was the estranged brother that elderly Richard Farnsworth drove 250 miles on a riding mower to visit one last time in The Straight Story.

He just kind of turned up in Avengers. He did that sometimes too.

And most important, he taught us the Repo Code.

    Finished Expanse season 2. Really liked it.
    I missed Miller the whole second half of it though.

    The fastest OOT involves tons of obscure bug dropping and picking up. It's interesting - as a dev - to watch and try to figure out how it actually works, but I wouldn't rewatch it. I watch the SM race every gdq pretty much

    Glitched runs are fine. As are glitchless/100%. Diffrent strokes

    I don't understand why developers would be bothered by speedrunners using glitches

    Or is that the joke

    There are too many layers of satire here

    @kedinik aaaaand that's a wrap.

    In 1820, the Japanese-Ming Imperialist War concluded, after eight years of battle that raged from the plains of America to the Middle Kingdom itself. Two million men, lost to the rage of war, for the vanity of the shogun Takeuji Date, who wished for nothing more than to prove that Japan - not China - was the true power of Asia. The results, though minor, had broader sweeping implications; the Ming, once an unstoppable behemoth, had been brought to a standstill, begging for peace by the war's end.

    GATjzpi.jpg?2

    The puppet duchy of Shin-Pekin was established, cutting the vital trade region from the Ming. Other minor territorial concessions were granted to the duchy of Manshuukoku and the Republic of Sougen-Koukoku, who further cut the Ming from holding any ground in northern Asia and act as a wall protecting the vast expanse of Japanese Siberia. Japan itself had remained untouched by the war, the only awareness many people having of the conflict raging across the sea being reports and woodblock prints commemorating glorious victories achieved. Even Taiwan, the first of Japan's colonies, had played its part in the war, acting as a base for the blockade that cut off Ming for eight years.

    mSCotqJ.jpg?2

    The true extent of Japan's reach, of course, was found across the Pacific. The three colonies of Japan - Setsushuu, Toushuu, and Soushuu - now controlled half of the continent. Soushuu itself was perhaps, in its amassed wealth, a great power in its own right; but the Shogun administration had spent decades placating and soothing the minds of the masses in the arid lands and whip down to the hodgepodge of the southern continent. Though Soushuu had fought for the independence of the United States of America and the Caribbean Federation of Haiti from the yoke of English rule, they were content to remain vassals of the Japanese realm, if only for the protection it gave from collapse in the wake of nigh-constant revolt and agitation by the English minorities within their borders.

    As 1821 dawns, all across the world know that the sun does not set on the Empire of the Rising Sun.

    Definitely done with EU4 for another spell. Probably pick it up again after the DLC goes on sale and I can try out the new mechanics in Russia and East Asia.

    The super mario world warp breaks my brain

    You actually inject the game with code

    which actually yeah isn't playing the game at all.

    For me, it depends on how the final run looks.

    For instance, the first time I saw the Batman Arkham City Speedrun, it had a few cool major sequence breaks/oob tricks but was still pretty recognizable.
    The version at GDQ this year was more advanced, with so many OOB's many of which had extensive / low odd setups, that it just sucked the fun out of the run.

    There are definitely categories that are just no longer interesting. A 1m13s speedrun of SMW is a fun gag to see once.

    Glitchless runs can have pretty high skill ceilings, but they can also end up pretty boring, for instance if 1 attack is the best throughout the whole game, or if you have to do really annoying movement tech (some castlevania's backwards dashing....)

    here is my advice for anyone planning on fighting a land war in Asia:

    try and avoid it

    I only did it as a late-game challenge to see if I could eke out a victory

    this is a dumb question but how long can a steak last refrigerated?

    i bought one yesterday and ended up not eating it last night and now I have other dinner plans.

    could it make it til sunday or would I be pushing my luck?

    Should be fine, I think. i've eaten older steaks.

  • SanderJKSanderJK Crocodylus Pontifex Sinterklasicus Madrid, 3000 ADRegistered User regular
    Meat basically goes bad fast if it's left at room temperature , but refrigerated you probably got a week if it wasn't at room temp. for a long time while you were cooking (more than 12h?)

    How it tastes is another question, fridges tend to make stuff drier. My gut feeling is that this probably worse for cooked meat than uncooked. If it's wrapped it'll be better than if it was in the open.

    I mean, yeah, not ideal, but it should still be relatively good tomorrow.

    if it is not vacuum packed, tuesday would be the pushing your luck limit. Four days is the rule.

    If it is sealed, then 14 days is the rule.

    Sunday is ideal! Steaks get better from waiting a few days. The day before the use by date is the best day the steak will have.

    EDIT: I mean it'd be perfectly safe on monday too.

  • AbdhyiusAbdhyius Registered User regular
    The closer up until the use by date you can get, the more tender your steak is.

    As fresh as possible is not the goal, at all, with beef. The steaks we buy tend to be pre-tenderized by the factory so that they're decent right away; a totally fresh-off-the-cow steak would be a pretty shitty steak.
