Bad console ports on PC where mouse control code was recycled from gamepad control code. For example, in Just Cause 2, the maximum turn rate is capped and so is the minimum cursor acceleration, with the end result being when you move the mouse your character moves like you’ve mushed a gamepad control stick instead of the fast, smooth, PC cursor style movement of the reticle that every other PC FPS manages to pull off.

And timed, text heavy games on mobile generally.

Squinting at you, Hearthstone.

Best I can do is a crash landing on Venus.

Maybe we could set them on top of some kind of manhole cover…

If you don’t mind waiting a few thousand years, you can cut the delta-v requirements in half by traveling to the edge of the solar system first and then burning retrograde at aphelion.

Or do like the Parker Solar Probe did and catch multiple gravity assists off Venus.

Dungeons and Dragons 5e is less fun than 3.5e IMO.

There was more of a sense of character progression, and ability differentiation in 3.5e.

5e achieves balance by flattening the power curve.

For example, the attack bonus for a level 20 Fighter in 5e is just 4 points higher than it was at level 1 - same as a 5e Wizard. Both get +2 at lvl 1 and +6 at lvl 20

In 3.5e, a level 20 fighter’s attack bonus is 19 points higher than it was at level 1 (+1 to +20), but a wizard only gains half that much fighting prowess as they level up (+0 to +10).

All 5e characters are pretty much the same statistically & mechanically. Differentiation comes from role play, which is the least interesting part of the game for me.

a small bit of cardamom can be good too

I’ve tried with both kinds of vinegar, and both are good with different dishes.

Personally, I liked the apple cider vinegar version on salads, and the white vinegar base paired well with heavier foods like tacos or fried potatoes.

Maybe start with 2 smaller batches, one of each, and combine them later if the mix is what works best for you?

I find pickled red onions are good on their own - like, the onion itself makes a good condiment. However, if you roast some yellow onions & garlic in a light vegetable oil until they start to caramelize, and throw a spoonful of it in the jar with the peppers, it will infuse the vinegar with a nice flavor.

Those are super easy to turn into hot sauce.

Just cut the tops & stems off, and stuff them in a jar.

Boil some vinegar in a pot on the stove, mix in a bit of salt, and pour over the peppers.

Let it cool down & then throw the jar full of vinegar and peppers into your refrigerator for 2 weeks.

Done.

Use the salty, hot pepper infused vinegar like you would any other hot sauce.

yeah, its a wild concept to wrap your head around

the further out we look in space, the longer it took for that light to reach us, so its effectively looking backwards through time

The article has shades of that old, trite Republican line of “Government sucks, and to prove it I’ll get elected and suck at governing.” Its proposed remedy is nonsense as a result, nevertheless it does spell out a real problem that exists.

“If America truly wants to win the lunar competition, it needs to start thinking like economists rather than politicians.”

This is what killed Boeing.
This is what killed Intel.

Both were highly successful when they had engineers for CEOs. Their fortunes cratered when accountants took over.

Weakness to Magic stacks exponentially with itself when it comes from 2 different spells.

For example, lets say you have 2 spells with Weakness to Magic 100% for 6 seconds: Spell 1, and Spell 2.

Spell 1: target becomes 100% weak to magic
Spell 2: target becomes 2 * 100% = 200% weak to magic
recast Spell 1: target becomes 2 * 200% = 400% weak to magic
recast Spell 2: target becomes 2 * 400% = 800% weak to magic

And so on. After a few stacks of that debuff, and you can 1-hit-kill any foe with a spell that deals damage.

Weakness to Magic also works on the player character and it will amplify the effect of buffs. Stacking it before casting your buff spells lets you walk around with millions of health, stamina, and mana for short periods of time.
