Bell peppers & beef is my current favorite. It’s as simple as browning some beef, putting rice in the ricecooker, and making a simple sauce to cook the peppers in.

The silent hill wiki folks sure are a rowdy bunch. This one’s pretty tame for them though, it’s decidedly lacking in rants about circumcision.

I’ve got two methods for scrolls.

The first is “Don’t bother with anything they are capable of casting by themselves.” As in, I’ll only drop scrolls of a higher rank than their top slots. The flashier the spell, the better.

The second is “The player is actively seeking this out in-character,” in which case I’ll just drop a cache of 4-8 of the spell at the end of a mini-quest performed alongside whatever the current job is.

I’ve got one method for wands.

Is the spell something with a persistent effect? Then bam. There you go. I’ll never drop a wand that loses its utility as soon as you spend the actions, or worse, as you level up. Spells like fireball are a no-go, but spells like Shape Stone are great.

And as for staves, I’ve got two again.

One, does the staff have a good evergreen first level spell (or more) like Illusory Object or Heal? Then it’s going into the loot piles.

And two, is there a thematic link I can make to where the staff is found? That’s a going on the baddies’ fireplace mantle to sell their aesthetic.

hello i will date your phone, please hand it over and give me the pin in case we make it to sleep mode.

so whats the point of the article then?

There’s definitely something to this. I tend to get a lot of chores done before my weekly floor disassociation time.

An emulator and a shitton of old roms. The further back you go, the smaller they get. I’ll probably splurge on a few choice games over 100mb with good pvp or co-op to play with my partner, but the vast majority will be under 5mb.

They’d sue you for playing their games on their hardware if they could

i don’t know what this is, is it like Tic Tac Toe with more rules?

Hey, i’d rather listen to this guy’s views on penetration than Fuckner Banning’s.

If you go far enough, you will see deserts, tropics, and taigas. I think that’s unique to us, at least…

Probably about a 5. The monsterfucker fantasy rears its ugly head sure, but unless scientists make hot bara werewolves real and aliens roll up and are dtf, I’m fairly vanilla in practice.

Resident Evil 1 for the first time. The voice acting is very silly.

Don’t oPen that door!

Chris is our old partner ya knoow.

on lemmy world? Not terribly much. On blahaj zone? Probably a bit more.

This is coward talk. Healers should be given silver bullets for their guns with badass names like “Spectre Covenant” and huge medieval maces.

Not much, spotube is a little fucked right now. I did listen to Kaleidoscope Brain - Bomb Bunny tho

what a fucked up looking bird.

finally, i don’t have to stream from my PC to play the funny card game

Through monstadt, it really does feel like a clone. Though as the game opens up, yeah it does carve out its own identity.

At the beginning before you get any good teammates, your party members are basically just the different BOTW weapons, and their skills are the different shieka slate tools. Kaeya’s your Cryo, Amber’s your Bombs, Noelle’s your hammers, and you need them to get to korok seed stand-ins. Domains are obvious parallels to shieka shrines, but they mostly get abandoned after the prologue chapter as anything other than gear grind spots. Even the grind of ascending characters and their weapons feels like doing great fairy fountain gear grinds.

edit: oh, and you climb and glide around to traverse the massive environment; it’s a surface level feature comparison, but worth mentioning.

The comparison does begin to fall apart when you find out that the meat and potatoes of genshin is the (mostly self contained) main storylines, and once you start unlocking character storylines, it becomes even further distinct. You’re not building up to reunite with your sibling by just picking a direction and exploring (or even just making a mad dash to the cryo nation), you’re sequentially building up and knockign down local threats, only occasionally getting glimpses of the main thread. And of course, the mobile game mechanics that permeate the whole thing after AR 30 or so really pull it further away.
