It’s wild, way more mushrooms than I’ve ever seen. Huckleberries came super early and are much bigger than usual. Climate change is wild.

I used a random orbital sander and it took a pretty long time to get it as smooth as I wanted. Still worth it for a pan that will last forever!

I’ve been cooking with cast iron for decades, first with rough lodge pans then for the last 15 years after sanding them smooth. IMO smooth cast iron is far away the better cooking experience. Trying to get stuck bits out of the rough surface is a nightmare. With a smooth surface and a nice metal spatula (Dexter is the brand I use) nothing ever sticks and the seasoning sticks perfectly well. I’d just recommend getting carbon steel pans to anybody that doesn’t have smooth cast iron yet, as they’re much lighter and perfectly smooth out of the box.

You’re in for a treat! I tend to still prefer the parser based EGA versions for nostalgia reasons but it’s very well done and faithful to the original.

I’m longing for another play-through thanks to you! Maybe I’ll go fighter then paladin instead of my usual magical thief.

This graph stops at 2014 but extrapolating to today 5% to 10% seems about right.

So, you want to be a hero?

Probably my most replayed game, along with Betrayal at Krondor.

Have you checked out the excellent remake of QfG2?

What were the demands, and were they met? Or did the strike end for some other reason?

What’s the best way to buy this in the US? $66 on Amazon feels steep. Are kindle versions good?

Terry Pratchett once said: “I don’t think The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was the funniest Science Fiction novel ever written. The funniest Science Fiction novel ever written was Bill, The Galactic Hero”.

I wear earplugs daily and nightly due to a sensory disorder and recently tried a new kind that’s by far the best from the many I’ve tried in terms of comfort. They’re also excellent in noise reduction.

Ditto. I just farted to look into this yesterday and found the trash guides. It was pretty incomprehensible and I gave up. I hope to come back to this thread later and see that someone has explained how to set this up simply.

I’m curious as well, I’d love to replicate something like that for my knife throwing

404 media seems to be doing good work.

Your pan is too hot! oozing cheese that crisps up on the sides is *chefs kiss*

I love this idea. I feel like it would give Lemmy some of the old forum magic of long historical threads.

Imagine every time a repost happens the comments are additive instead of separate. It would keep posts and conversations alive to have them continue to surface and be upvoted anew.

I really think you’re into something brilliant.

They’re actually all Hufflepuff

I hope it sparks debate and causes people to take seriously the central point of the book, namely the grave threat posed to the world by the U.S. effort to maintain global dominance. The facts laid out in the book are disturbing and in many ways terrifying, and my hope, one I know that Prof. Chomsky has long shared, is that the public will come to understand the danger that we are in and act collectively to radically democratize existing power structures.

Nice! Care to share a picture you took?

Faith’s Hymn by Beautiful Chorus. It’s a capella, very gentle and harmonious humming and singing. Spotify
