The archer's ledge and O&S were the major speedbumps in DS1 for me.
I say this, but I also gave up after like an hour because I went the wrong way and thought hmmm nope this isn't fun and then started a couple of years later and got to the depths and fell down a hole and got gassed by a frog and thought hmmm no this isn't fun and then a couple of years later picked it up again and then got every achievement, even the one that meant I had to kill Smough first and thus fight O&S like twenty times like a masochist.
That's crazy to me, because I think I've only had Ornstein die first once, maybe twice.
Super Smough was a much easier second fight for me on every playthrough. Super Ornstein would consistently wreck my face many times over. I got him eventually with Solaire, but only after upgrading weapons and grinding some levels so he couldn't just one shot me at will.
The long, windy run to the fight was also annoying.
Couldn't you just open the front door and use the save point under (the Darklight covenant one you access with the staircase)?
I don't think that one was any closer that the one in the building (if you took the shortcut and jumped out of the spiral staircase). Also, didn't you have to move the stairs to get to that part, and then move them back again if you wanted to leave?
Yeah, but no enemies that could kill you if you accidentally autopiloted your way right into their weapons on your Nth time back to fight O&S.

I bought a bag of frozen berries one time because I eat a lot of berries.
They're a huge part of my diet these days.
The frozen bag stuff was tasteless, disgusting, and had this sticky, syrupy shit all over the inside. Fresh berries stuffed in the freezer (I use a lot of them so I get bigger cartons) taste miles better than the pre-frozen nasty shit in an opaque bag.
Fruits in general freeze very poorly. I’ve never used frozen blueberries for anything and found the result satisfactory.
I generally put blue, rasp, black, and strawberries in smoothies during the day and the results are quite good.
Not as good as fresh, though. I just don't want to go to the grocery store every 2 days to pick up another carton and pay the small-carton-per-ounce premium.

Huh. I've had good success freezing small fruits like blueberries or sliced strawberries by laying them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet, freezing them on the sheet, then putting them into a bag.
Dunno. Perhaps I just played early Dragon Quests and Final Fantasys different. I didnt really grind. I would take hard fought excursions into the next dungeon and actually use that exit dungeon skill or consumable. Getting to boss and beating it while desperately using the last of my consumables, mana etc.
Seemed to me the way they were meant to be played. Pacing was pretty tight in even the early ones.
Dragon Quest II had a difficulty problem even for the standards of the time because they weren't able to fully fix the difficulty after they had to delay the game because of it.
The initial deadline was set for early November, but the game ultimately suffered a small delay.[17] The development team had finished programming almost everything by the time of the initial release and believed the game could be released by the end of that year.[19] In the Japanese magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump, published on November 11, 1986, it was announced that the game would be released in late December.[20] However, the developers found that the game was too difficult, so it was delayed for month to adjust the balance.[21] They had to finish the final version in mid-December,[19] which they did, and then rushed to deliver to Nintendo to make the physical game cartridges.[21] The game was released on January 26, 1987.[19]
Due to the aforementioned balance issues, the game was initially very difficult, especially in the later stages. Nakamura had written a program that simulated every single combat that he used to adjust the games setting for character leveling and the strength of enemies players would encounter. This program failed to account for larger monster groups, however, which fell outside the model and caused the game to be very difficult.[19] Further more, enemies leveling and weapons power were designed by area, but Koichi Nakamura didn't think over the boat, so if player get the boat to some land might be quickly defeated.[21] The developers realized there was a balance problem and did some modifications, such as limiting the number of enemies in Midenhall to groups of three, and moving the Cannock Castle closer to Midenhall Castle.[19]
I bought a bag of freeze-dried blueberries and I just ate them all right out of the bag. I don't know if this is what you're supposed to do with them but if not, I've invented a new thing

If you freeze them yourself and use them within a week I think that’s probably fine. The main issue is when they’ve been frozen a long time they lose their fragrance and punch. A blueberry pie made with storebought frozen blueberries is always so sad compared to the real thing.

Like that is a good story but it seems obviously fireable. He's meddling and overriding in what isn't his pay level or responsibility area.
HOT TAKE
Fire him.
I think it's more likely that he bolloxed up the calculations for the spells damage and rather than face up to his bolloxing up of the math decided to just go full tilt "No, it was supposed to be that way" then ciphered it so nobody would be able to see how badly he had bolloxed it up.
And, I'm pretty sure that's my daily quota for the word "bollox".

I don't know DK it sounds like you don't know what you're doing. Have you tried using garlic? It's a commonly used flavour in Italian cuisine.
I can't think of any tomato that isn't outright acidic though.
Less acidic tomatoes taste like wet feet in comparison when used in a sauce though don't they?
you're welcome
