actual ancient roman chicken recipe

Dress the chicken carefully and quarter it. Crush pepper, lovage and a little carraway moistened with broth, and add wine to taste. After frying place the chicken in an earthen dish, pour the seasoning over it, add laser and wine. Let it assimilate with the seasoning and braise the chicken to a point. When done sprinkle with pepper and serve.

IMHO the characterization is DA2's greatest strength. Unlike the generic power fantasy rpg where you have a cadre of the best [whatevers] in the universe, the prince of the whatevers and the high priestess of the whatever and the last of the whatevers, you instead have a bunch of loving losers who only seem to survive because one member of the group is responsible and another member is a master-class friend. Your friends do not turn out to have been competent diamonds in the rough by the end, either. they are big idiots and cause a ton of trouble, just like the bad man at the gate said y'all were. he said refugees were going to destroy the city and by god, you did

Yeah they're all terrible and all idiots and that's one of the fun parts.

Hell if they'd just advertised it as "follow this jerk and his or her crew of idiots around for 10 years" instead of promising an epic story that would have been okay too.

But let's not kid ourselves a certain Inquisition companion is in the running for single biggest fuckup in the entire setting soooo

Good guy tale of the day:

So I've been frequenting a coffee shop near my workplace. I usually go there each evening. On some days there is this barista with pristine blue eyes and a genuine personality you can't fake --even for tips.
We get to talking and share a few good laughs most days. We end up saying the same things at the same times a lot. And when she thinks I'm not looking she'll quietly stare at me while she cleans the espresso machine.
Being the salty gently caress I am, it took me a while to realize that she isn't putting up a front. I usually don't talk to the baristas since most of them are FI's that expect a huge tip for a simple conversation even though they still get paid better than minimum wage.

Problem is by the time I get there it's real late and she's pretty exhausted. And a lot of the time our conversations are cut short by other customers coming in or the tiredness that she's become accustomed to. This morning I was cleaning out my flower beds and came upon a single, pink rose among all the weeds and wilted ones. It's sweet smell permeated through the stench of rotten leaves and I picked it. I thought about tossing it, but realized it was an analogy to all the lovely people that surround me everyday, and the rose that barista because she was the only beautiful thing in my day most weeks. I come in for my usual, and she already has it waiting on the counter. She walks to the back for a moment, and I take the rose out of my sleeve and set it in the tip jar. She didn't notice it while I was there.

We had had a conversation yesterday about the tip jar and the sound the money made when it fell out. And how some people become accustomed to the smell and the sound and never look beyond what it can buy.

It's been a long time since I've felt the need to express my desire for somebody through the use of analogies and symbolism. I hope it works. However, my office is moving, and I won't be able to frequent that shop too much as it is on the other side of town. Even if I never see her again, even if at worst I forget what she looks like , at least I gave it a shot -- let her know that someone gave a poo poo enough to bring her a flower to try and brighten her evening.

If you're standing up with your shirt tucked in and a hard-on, yes. Otherwise, maybe maybe not. It's just your dick and balls in a sort of uniform orb. Penises can change size and shape, too!

Also Dragon Age was overrated as all hell. Everyone has the same skillset, every dungeon is identical, the story is even more linear than Mass Effect (your choices only affect who you can bang) and the only thing you see in the main city is a few tents for vendors and a couple of barrels by the docks. It has less decoration than most old top-down snes RPGs. It would be okay from a first timer or an indie firm, but it's friggin' Bioware and they have a lot to live up to. 2/10.

e. DA2, that is. Never played 1 and I have no plans to revisit the franchise even tho people I know who play go "but but inquisition is soooo much better". Nope.

Cthulu Carl posted:

Dragon Age 2 is great once you realize it's all a flashback told by Varric and Varric is a godawful storyteller who writes garbage novels.

Ed Wood was also really a false identity created by Orson Welles. Those numerous b movies were his riff on how the masses always craved their inane pablum after rejection of his grander vision. Casting Bela Lugosi was his criticism of AmericaCorporateCulture's vampiric feeding and exploitation of the old world that spawned it.

I still remember the whole bloody mess of that games creation. They were a bunch of half-wits who drove out a good potion of their talent and quickly shitted out a sub par game to meet a deadline. Hell I will give credit for adding the "unreliable narrative" as a way to cover up for lazy and underdeveloped writing. There was some good barebones of a plot lost there but that is how the writing process often starts: an outline and then a rough draft. More time and effort could have taken that somewhere but I still get irritated remembering how much time they pissed away loving off on forums and internet comments. Using a handful of maps over and over again while you fight power ranger putties is not fun nor the NEW poo poo. I loved Origins and dig Inquisition. Dragon Age 2 is shite. To anyone reading this: don't waste your time on this game. There are far better games to buy on steam or GOG.
