@Monogram said in The Baking Thread:
I'm confused.
Is this about baking baked goods or just being baked in general?
Have to admit, that was the first question that came to mind as well, haha. Anyway, as far as actual baking goes... I am going to bake some biscuits on Sunday morning to serve up with some sausage gravy.

@Rucket said in The Hockey Thread:
Wizards? Yeah we'll get that 8 seed and then get knocked out in the first round.
Sorry to break up a good rant but you do realize the Wizards are likely a third to fifth seed in the east and have make the second round three of the last four years, so they would place more with the Caps as being a solid second round knock out not a first.
Our town's moving on up!

I don't hate the Flyers. I just hate Philly. And Dallas. New York to a lesser extent. Sorry, but this is how it has to be in the NFC East. It just ends up bleeding into other sports.
Look, stop projecting your loathing for your own team and just recognize that Dan Snyder will never put together a Super Bowl team ever, all right?
Look, this is Washington okay? We'll never win any championships because none of our teams can go deep into the playoffs. Caps? Oh let's have an amazing season and then get kicked out in the second round. Nats? Great season, first round exit. Skins? Haha. Wizards? Yeah we'll get that 8 seed and then get knocked out in the first round.

@Rucket At least we can hate Dallas and New York together?
Absolutely!

Got Divinity: Original Sin 2 and have been playing that. It's really good and would highly recommend it for anyone who enjoyed the first game. Still got a ways to go before beating it though.
This thread is going to be subjective as hell, but I am quite a fan of video game music. A few of my more recent faves:

theoretically draw characters from other areas more easily than a place like Cairhien.
Besides the fact that everyone is going to want to be Domani or Saldaean anyhow (with a scattering of Andorans and Sheinarans too).
Lies, everyone's going to want to be a Malkieri.
Had a SNES Classic in my cart on both Walmart and Target's websites, but was like 30s late to the party. 
Why must you make buying things so god damned hard, Nintendo?
@Meg said in Things We Should Have Learned Sooner:
I didn't know about grits until I was 18. Like seriously, had never heard of them or encountered them. It wasn't until I joined the military and got sent to basic training, and then I was in a chowline and there were grits where I had to be like-- what are those? to a fellow trainee.
That's a real shame. Grits and cheese grits are amazing.

Thenomain.
Why did you think you had to ask?
edit: Except for Nvidia for automated driver downloads, where my gamer tag is: IHateForcedOptInSystems
I do.
Yeah, I really dislike the nVidia software for that. Still not as bad as Razer's software but it's getting there.
I would use it more if Android had a half-decent client that I could get into.
While I agree with a lot of the comments here about FCs.
Personally I see FATE and go, "Meh." There are several systems already out there for Star Wars and they are far more interesting. To each their own though, I guess.
@Bobotron said in Christmas...:
@Rucket
Hah. I got FF2/4 the year it came out. The memories of the nailbiting OH GOD WAT DO in some of the fights back when I was like 10.
For sure. That's another great game.
Sure, I've gotten "better" gifts over the years, but FF6 will always stand out to me. I just remember wanting it and wanting it after seeing it in Nintendo Power. My parents were well aware of what I wanted that year, and then for him to just randomly pull me aside after all the other presents were handled and giving it to me. Yeah.
Final Fantasy III (6), Christmas of 1994. Still the best FF game ever made and my dad really made that year for me since he gave it to me as a secret gift.
@Sunny said in The 100: The Mush:
Yeah. While I hope they do learn from their mistakes, and I really do hope they figure out how to be more inclusive, I am glad that they made the game, and I very much hope they go on to make another.
Incompetence isn't a forever failure. You learn, you have experiences, you adjust, and you try again. They're nice people. I really think they just bit off more than they could chew.
Certainly neither of them is Spider levels of asshole. They don't even come close to the bullshit that KD's staff pulled. They tried. They even succeeded in a lot of regards. They made some bad decisions and messed some stuff up, and they definitely played more starring role than support, but it wasn't on purpose. They could have benefited GREATLY by having someone else involved...but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try again. Geez.
These are the same people who ran 5th World and while that game was generally good it did have some of the same problems. I am with @ThatGuyThere. Just be aware of what you get into with their projects and I'm sure you can have a bit of fun.
@Kanye-Qwest said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:
A +meetme (with some caveats) is likely. The OOC room suggestion is prooobably a hard no. All I can speak to is my own experience, but of all the (four?) wod mushes I dipped my toe into, there was just 0 organic, random RP to be had. Also the OOC rooms were horrible and headache-inducing.
But, every character in Arx is assigned a home room, a private space in which they can idle and chat and watch paint dry as they like.
Or you get people who sit in the OOC room all day and then bitch about not having RP. Ran into one or two of those on Fallcoast.
So Battlefield 1 is pretty damned fun. Really love the desert map they are having people play in the beta right now. Definitely worth looking into if you like shooters.
