I think the issue that people, including myself, are having, is that it’s undefined in such a way that is simultaneously too open-ended and also too restricted. Different people have wildly different pantry stocks and wildly different expectations for what is conventionally expected or keep on hand.

This is all extra so, when the question is for a fucking bell pepper and some barley. You could be anything from a farmer, to a chef, to a crazy person who doesn’t have black pepper and only eats canned hamburgers and pisses in bottles.

You need to realize that the notion of this question is deeply flawed, and that you can maybe try to compromise by just allowing everybody chef-show type freedom where as long as they use and feature these ingredients, or like just go rule-of-cool and let it breathe.

This all being said, I truly don’t care, I’m just trying to interpret where the top level comment may be coming from, because I’ve thought about these challenges before and held off because I know people can be difficult.

Personally… I’d probably see if I could deep fry or roast the barley to get it sweet, soft, and crispy, and spice it with like a light butter coating, and then mix that with slices of the bell pepper for finger food or a snack. Though, I’ve never had barley like that, so I don’t know what it tastes like or if it’s bitter or what cooking it would do, that’s just my instinct. Maybe try to find a dip that would synergize them. Probably try to avoid ranch though, that’s overdone and basic af

Roasted barley and a yellow bell pepper are all I need

Lmaooooo.

I’m leaving it.

Lmao no worries, I haven’t seriously played cs since source

^.

Absolutely tragic

Go pirate it and live your best life.

I do want to clarify, though, that always-on drm is ass. Just, for now, in exactly how they’re implemented, with all of the built up good karma, it’s acceptable.

The real questions we should be asking are “why does it not suck with steam, but does everywhere else?” and “what can we realistically ask of steam to improve the experience?” and “is there a better alternative?” And “Why is it like this to begin with?”

How do we improve this without just whining? Because all things considered, Valve would probably work with reasonable requests, if you had a good enough idea.

Good leader good.

Bad leader bad.

Okay. So what’s in there?

Ahem, it’s cs2, now?

What’s with the kid that just sits on the bench in the lower left? The shooter has already fired multiple times, so that kid had to have known what was going on.

You can, and I think it depends on culture and dialect. But, especially on the internet, clarify and specificity are important af. Even moreso in this day and age, with how politically charged and ready to be defensive and quippy and mic-droppy everybody is.

Please do it… just start giving yourself meals for random shit as fast as you can. Do it.

Imagine if you played factorio…

and some stuff on a belt was just like “You know what would make us get there faster? If I moved slower than everything else and made it hard or impossible to pass.”

And then another belt had an object that got irritated by always getting stuck behind the first one and tried to go super fast, but then crashed and outright stopped the belt.

Neither of these are good.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Traffic is like the flow of water, you can absolutely be the one fucking it up for everybody else, be it by crashing, reordering the wait, or by making traffic out of sync with engineered timers to optimize flow.

If speed or order or rate doesn’t matter, then the science behind traffic engineers must be imaginary.

Be safe AND don’t be a fucking asshole. We are all in this together.

Yeah they should have had black as 5.x, grey as 6.x, white as 7.x, green as 8.x, and gold as 9.x

Or just use the Blizzard/rpg rarity colors for user defined groupings so that people can make their own thresholds for how to opine for whatever ratings.

For example, I typically think of each number as three categories: low-7s, mid 7s, and high 7s. A low 7 is watchable and decent, a mid 7 may be pretty good but not have a ton of truly moving content or messaging, and high 7s are like the last rating of ultimate popcorn - fantastic, but relatively intellectually empty. And as soon as you hit 8.0, to get there, it has to start having some levels of boundary-pushing of my expectations AND be very good.

So I would relate all of the 7s as like a Diablo green item rarity, maybe with high 7s being blues. High 8s maybe starts to get into yellows, and 9s are legendaries with mid and high 9s being reds or like Diablo ancients. Very low 7s and high 6s would definitely be whites, with mid and low 6s being greys. And anything under there… Probably also greys? Maybe have a gradient where the lower the rating, the more transparent it gets. 1.0 or 0.0 (whatever the lowest is) would have to still be visible, though.

“Think you can provide more resources and well thought out and efficiently applied curriculum than a centuries old and constantly corrected product of society that draws on every corner of society and hundreds of lifelong full-time employees whose entire lives revolve around hopefully improving society and giving the confident, respectful, and considerate qualities to children? That system isn’t perfect and is compromise and resource-short hell… Why not give it a REAL half-assing and short-change your kids EVEN WORSE!”

the burger had been placed together that morning

:C

And the HUGE software push they’re making. Plus, Valve probably welcomes anybody joining in on the form factor. This isn’t console wars, Valve isn’t Microslop or Nintendo.
