Yeah, now that people mention Dishonored, that was about the last "big" title that managed to keep me engaged. Stealth gaming done absolutely right.

All big title single player games are uninspiring, mind numbing, and just plain boring to me. What I have recently played and liked:

Super Meat Boy
Papers, Please
The Stanley Parable
Fez
Kentucky Route Zero
Nidhogg
Hotline Miami
Mark of the Ninja
Broken Age

Thats probably the reason yeah

Haha, nice reasoning there

Sounds reasonable.

I use an Impress Brewer, basically an insulated french press (with a slightly finer filter) which doubles as a thermos. It also helps keeping a more constant temperature during the brewing time.
'
As for the type of coffee I switch around a lot. Medium to dark roast. I don't mind a little robusta in my blend from time to time actually.

People who have reported bitter tastes with a french press: did you try coarser grinds and shorter brewing times? It can also help to scoop away the grounds that have risen to the top before you plunge (because by plunging you force the water through those grounds again, risking overextraction). You could also try and let your water cool down a bit more (closer to 195f/90c) before you pour it in.

Meanwhile I pledged on these:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brewover/brewover-20-coffee-system (sweet brewover system that allows for full immersion brewing and easy cold brewing)

its gonna be shit, how can you actually have faith in this

am i the only one still not sure if troll?

Makes for an awesome a defense

True. I'd be happy to provide my input in any possible brainstorm session about this!

In such a scenario, there should definitely be pre-decided teams, as you'd like to work on some "strats" or at least pick/ban mindgames or cherrypicks based on specific player proficiency with gimmicky unlock X

When i was told about this i thought there would be a pick/ban system involved like in mobas (right? I never play/watch that stuff but i believe before the game both get turns at picking/banning certain heroes???)

Turns out this is just a pure, unadulterated, "allow everything" match? Thats not really interesting imo. Also, Valve could perfectly fine get behind a matchmaking system with item pick/bans i think...

pls faceit ql come back

Oh shit that sounds sick ... I did try cooking veggies together with pasta in the same water, infuses the flavors somewhat and saves you a pan :D . Risotto method seems daring, but you could also end up with very starchy pasta (since none of the loose starch ends up in the water but all remains on the pasta surface). I guess some people like it that way.

I liked the tilted pan trick too, so simple, but never thought of it. I never roast whole garlic cloves though... seems kind of an agressive garlicy explosion in your mouth that way, but I guess the roasting process mellows them out? I really love the even simpler version of that sauce: aglio, olio e peperoncino. Basically the same sauce but with chopped garlic and without tomatoes.

Do an asian dish next!

Protip: when you turn off the heat of the pasta pan after you brought the pasta to a boil again, it will still cook al dente in the expected time. This is because the effective temperature at which pasta cooks is way below the boiling point of water. Saves quite some energy and you dont risk that messy foamy overboil problem.

Ymmv if you dont use enough water to retain the heat or a very thin, non-insulating pan. It also might not work on very thick pasta.

Edit your post. We will all pretend we didn't notice.

That's actually a rare boss:
