    As the Prince of Persia Metroidvania team disbands, Baldur's Gate 3 dev says if Ubisoft wants "subs over sales" then "developers must get used to not having jobs"
  • So Larian is calling attention to predatory employment practices, as they have done before, and this time they're doing it by comparing the situation to predatory sales practices, and criticizing them in the comparison

    A scammer just tried to scam the Kroger pharmacy to get my info out of them by pretending to be my insurance company.
  • I was recently in college for IT, and my professors said a couple of times that it's best practice just to assume that all of your info has already been stolen

    Serving as the POTUS as a Non-Medical Intervention for Preventing Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (N=2)
  • ...the difference was determined to be insignificant...

    These findings suggest that being elected the President of the United States may be a viable strategy for mitigating cognitive decline among older adults.

    That feels like a bit of a jump

    "You'll end up in a van down by the river" if you do drugs, don't go to college, etc. advice never includes the warning: "Don't suffer major Depression that gives you complete apathy for existence."
  • You have a big paper due on Monday? Don't smoke until it's done, because you won't get more creative, you'll just not do it.

    I actually love writing while high. Everything flows so much more easily for me, and I make connections I might not otherwise. It's great when I'm having trouble just getting words on the page. It does usually require an extra passover in editing though lol

    I just realized why some people hate replicated food...
  • Yeah, that's true. Could be that only senior officers can program recipes, or maybe the Cerritos has special rules. They were under heightened security after the Pakled attacks, and also, considering the Buffer Time episode, Captain Freeman is definitely the kind of captain that would make rules about that. And the Cerritos seems like the kind of crew that would need them lol

  • This isn't how replicators work at all. We know they have tons of different versions of individual recipes, and that you can program your own recipe if you want something custom. The way the shows discuss replicated food, it seems like it just straight up doesn't taste as good, but probably only very slightly, to the point you can't really tell the difference if you've mostly eaten replicated food your whole life

  • There could be hundreds of versions of each individual dish.

    Not just could be. We know there are. In the first episode or two episode of Voyager, Tom tries to order tomato soup from the replicator, and it asks him a ton of questions because there are like a hundred different versions of tomato soup, including Bolian style, meaning not only are recipes kept modern, they even include alien takes on other species' meals! I wonder if Klingon replicators can make Rhaktajino DS9 style

    Exonerated 'Central Park Five' sue Trump for defamation after debate comments
  • They admitted they said, they pled guilty. And said, well, if they pled guilty they badly hurt a person, killed a person ultimately. And if they pled guilty then they pled we're not guilty.

    They might have a tough time making a case just because Trump's comment was so incoherent lol

    Netflix raises prices as password boost fades
  • Netflix's content has gotten so much worse too. I don't think there are many people left that have a subscription for more than one or two shows. And this seems to be a trend across all the different apps. Makes me glad I set up automatic torrenting for everything I'm interested in, and all it costs me is $5/month for Proton VPN

  • A lot of memes I across the Internet are about how everyone, no matter how old, is just a kid inside, trying to figure out what's going on, which is something I definitely identify with.

    But every once in a while, something happens that does actually make me feel like a grown-up. It's usually small, and kind of silly, but it's fun, and I thought people might want to share theirs.

    For me, most recently, it was realizing I like Greek yogurt now. It was trendy when I was like 12, and I couldn't stand it then, but I bought some on a whim, and now I keep the fridge stocked. That drastic change in my tastes took me aback momentarily, but I thought it was a nice fun little milestone.

    How about you?

    This is a personal creation, so I apologize if the name is already taken.

    Shaken and served with an expressed lemon peel, and a dash of Hummingbird Bitters

    Unfortunately, you can't get real Orion Dulac in Michigan, so this is my take on what Mariner would have served Those Old Scientists

    • 1.5oz White rum (I used Plantation 3 Star)
    • .75oz Cinnamon syrup
    • .75oz Lime juice
    • .5oz Absinthe (I used what they make at my local distillery, American Fifth)
    • .5oz John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum Liqueur
    • 1 barspoon Blue curaçao (for colour)

    Shake, and double strain. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, and slowly pour in two barspoon of grenadine so that it sinks to the bottom. This could also be swapped for butterfly pea flower syrup, which is purple. I just wanted the grenadine flavor

    This is for an upcoming session this Saturday. I've never been the kind of person that's into drawing, but I'm GMing my own PTU campaign, and I hated making maps online lol

    I've been practicing for about a week now, and I'm pretty happy with this little map.

    The setting is a small cave, complete with giant mushrooms, crystals, and a pond, which served as the improvised "break room," for a couple of miners my players found the skeletons of at the end of the last session.

    First cocktail made in my new bar! Just moved, and finally have it set up. Lots of decorating left for the new space though.

    This is a basic twist on a Daquiri.

    • 3oz Angostura 5 Year Caribbean Rum
    • 1.5oz lime juice
    • .66oz rich symple syrup (.75oz if you use 1:1)
    • 3-4 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters

    Shake, double strain, and garnish with a lime wedge.

    The ultimate brunch cocktail.

    Equal parts gin, orange liqueur, Lillet Blanc, and lemon juice, shaken and served in an absinthe rinsed coupe.

    I think this drink alone is enough reason to keep Lillet on hand. American Fifth is my local distillery; I highly recommend their spirits if you get the chance, but any absinthe will do here.

    It's been a while, but I got some new glassware, and wanted to try it out. I felt like a Nuclear Daquiri was appropriate for leaded crystal. I tweaked the recipe a bit to my own tastes, I'll denote that below

    • 1oz Overproof White Rum - Wray and Nephew
    • .5oz White Rum - Plantation 3 Star (omit for basic recipe)
    • .66oz Galliano (Green Chartreuse for basic recipe)
    • .75oz Lime Juice
    • .33oz Falernum

    Shake and double strain, garnish however you like
