CF's food posts have me really wanting to learn how to make my own ramen broth like he does. Tonkotsu is my favorite but I know that's a pretty laborious process. I should look around for simpler at-home recipes to get started with. I have an unending love for ramen of all kinds but getting good ramen takeout is not cheap.

Not gonna lie, making a huge batch of pork bone broth is pretty close to top of my bucket list, (right next to homemade Jamaican oxtail made with wagyu beef) from what I’ve seen online it’s time consuming but not hard or anything and it probably freezes well once your done.

I often get dough from my favorite pizza place

i think i'm the only person who buys it from them but they don't seem to mind. it's loving perfect, that dough. place has been open since '59 and they're still using the same yeast, it's magic.

Hmm, I never thought of doing this before, I should hit up one of the local pizza joints for some.

To the old person gaming discussion a while back I just had one of my students describe C&C Generals as the one they started out with :(

I started out with the original and Red Alert and dropped off around Tiberian Sun/RA2 so I suppose in a way their experience is no more or less valid than mine. Crazy to think that video game franchises are so spread out now that two different people can have no overlap within the same series.

So I've made it to the first proper dungeon in Okami and I'm kinda digging this game. Obviously the art style is stunning and it's just a joy to move around and see the world be animated around you. Beyond that there's so many wild ideas that have gone into this that I can't imagine being in any other video game like using how much the world believes in you to upgrade your stats or feeding animals to get more praise or having the power to make flowers grow or special powers coming from painting. Even though this is clearly aping Zelda games it all comes together to create a gaming experience that feels totally unique. I feel like I'm constantly being hit with new mechanics and new techniques that just keep expanding the game more and more. The only criticisms I have at the moment are the text speed is way too slow and registering brush patterns can be real finnicky. Overall though it's good fun so far.

If we’re talking old mans gamer stories then first game I remember playing was Super Mario World but the first game I ever beat was Kirbys Dreamland on a GB pocket. First tv console I could call my own was the N64 and OOT taught me to love games. That’s pretty much it

Finished the Walking Dead: The Last Season and I enjoyed it (as much as you can enjoy a bleak game like this). In my game through Clementine was queer and AJ was in a reasonable sound mental state at the end (he didn't become someone that enjoyed killing people). And while the ending manages to end Clem's arc in a meaningful way it would still be fun with another game where you have to manage the school like you do in RDR2

The actual first console that was mine was the NES. Then I got a Gameboy, SNES, Genesis and Game Gear. Got the NES in '87 and the Genesis and Game Gear in '92 and nothing else until I was gifted a PS2 in '04.

Thank you Zaphod and Harrow!

(Thanks to Regy Rusty clipping it, I did not realise how incredibly filled with joy and delirium I sounded when beating Darklurker here:
https://clips.twitch.tv/OpenPlainOwlPMSTwin-n3FLlEpHtbnkEfuI I was so ecstatic that I saw stars and went light headed. What a feeling :D)

Today I am taking a day off from gaming (possibly - gaming is so much fun on days off from work) before I start DS3 tomorrow. :)

By the skin of your teeth! Lucky dog :cheeky:

3 is my gf's favorite as it was her first. I like it, although it definitely (intentionally) feels like a nostalgia trip through the souls series. Its a good capstone for the whole series, but I'm glad From is trying things like Bloodborne and Sekiro too.

Speaking of, I never actually beat Sekiro :shobon: I got real real close to the end and then life got in the way and I put it down. So I picked it back up two days ago and I'm now 2 bosses from beating it! Here we go!

i made quite a bit of progress over the weekend in sekiro, i think (at the expense of doing anything else oops). defeated a big sparky plot boss and quite a few minibosses, defeated one simian boss and introduced myself to another. i also found a dried serpent fruit and realized what the game meant by a fresh one, and then found one of those too. there's gotta be a clip of that scene set to rules of nature floating around somewhere

also made it up to chapter 10 of sonic chronicles after meeting a whole bunch of generic aliens from ben 10. I'm very glad it's the kind of rpg that can be trivialized just by having max level characters, though i have finally started buying equipment

As CharlieFoxtrot mentioned I've been dabbling in sushi for the last month or two. I wouldn't say I'm good at it but the resulting product is edible and tasty so that's sufficient for me

Last night I had a few different things I wanted to do. I wanted to use the unagi I had bought from the Asian market (eel is my favorite sushi ingredient), I wanted to make nigiri, and I wanted to make tamago sushi in celebration of Bunny Day. (When I went to the market and asked about eel the woman took me to a freezer and shoved four different ingredients into my arms including the eel I asked for as well as the tamago.)

I'd say it went ok



they look nice and were tasty, I do not have a comment on the structural integrity of the rolls themselves. I ate too many of them, but I do have an eel roll waiting for me in the fridge for breakfast :unsmith:

Thanks Chef Eddy for showing me the nigiri packing technique as well as basically everything I know about sushi:

I was hoping someone would mod Death Stranding on PC to make the baby float away crying in a bubble when you take damage, but I suppose that would have been pretty hard to engineer
