    fuck this terrible autosave pacing. At this one fucking terrible ambush with wave after wave of bad guys. 5+ minutes of non stop combat, with lots of people in sniper points, multiple dynamite/molotov throwers, and no autosaves.

    After wasting 20 minutes of my life on 4 botched attempts, I am just done.

    hee hee

    Remember when autosaves didn't exist and 20 minutes on a level was just some shit you had to suck up and repeat tomorrow because mom said it was dinner time this instant?



    We are spoiled as fuck nowadays :)

    Yeah but when I was 6 I could literally play video games for 6 hours a night.

    I'm lucky if I make it to 2 hours without passing out on weeknights.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    I guess one of the guys the Astros have at Spring Training is 315 pounds. I hope to god that guy is a masher because I'm guessing Big Papi could whoop his ass in a sprint.

    Yeah I have seen him play. He... is not a fast runner.

    There's a resurgence of "roguelike" as a gamestyle, which I think is in part a response to the autosave trend. I appreciate both: sometimes I want to fear for my life and experience a game with no safety net, sometimes I want to finish a game without replaying more than 30 seconds of content ever.

    Can you actually define it as running or is it just power walking?

    next time use a fork or a whisk, and you seriously need to mix it until it's impossible to discern the oil and the vinegar. You're aiming for a consistent quality throughout, thicker than the oil and a uniform color.

    It might take you 10min of constant whisking to achieve.

    Look, @spool32 emulsions are just gross...all of them. Quit trying to pretend they aren't all basically mayonnaise.

    you guys are vinegar insanity up ins

    It's called Vinaigrette, Spool. Not Oilgrette.

    (I typically go about 2:1, but it depends on what type of vinegar you're using)

    It's an emulsion! I don't even know how you get the proper chemistry to happen at that ratio. It's hard enough at 4:1!

    I was a drama major, spool. I ain't care about any emulsion. I eyeball that shit, pour ingredients into small plastic bottle, seal it and shake it up like whoa. Boom: dressing.

    @organichu - protip: don't overthink this.

    you are salad hitler

    Eh, I mostly just hate measuring things. I consider myself a pretty decent cook, but I usually measure by eye and am almost physically incapable of following a recipe without making some impromptu substitutions.

    Never bake anything

    Yeah, my primary domain is the stovetop. Anything oven-related usually gets delegated to my wife. I know my limits.

    I watched Prince Fielder try to score from second on a little bloop to the outfield. I have no idea if the base coach was a moron or just ignored but man that was a terrible idea.

    I hate autosave. Just lags everything up and causes bugs. I'm an adult. I can press buttons to save. (Actually, I'm a crazy. I must press buttons to save. First time I played Mass Effect 2, I had like threehundred saves before reaching the Citadel.)

    I've got better ways to use my time, even in entertainment.

    I am mostly through games that go difficult for the sake of being difficult.

    Like the only reason at all this segment is as challenging as it is is because they keep sending waves of bad guys at me, and they don't put any save spots in there. and since you cannot manually save this game, they chose to cheaply extend the difficulty of this section.

    Every time I end up 4-5 minutes in, I keep waiting for the music to change or for there to be a break, or anything... but nope. No such luck.

    Where was this?

    I don't remember encountering anything like that.
