We need some kind of Soylent Green petrol. That'll solve two problems at once. PC Chat: I can't remember how much my PC cost, but I got it maybe 6 years back, and all I've upgraded is some RAM and a modest graphics card when I got Fallout 4. The only thing I feel I miss out on is console exclusive titles, which is more someone else's business decisions than anything to do with the hardware itself.

I've never been able to get into console gaming. I think it's just that I'm too old, as I can never get used to the controllers. KB + Mouse is just ingrained into my soul from the days of Doom and Duke Nukem I guess.

KB is essential still for FPS games for me but a lot of other games are better with a controller, like GTA 5, dark souls games, ect. i only use my ps3 for streaming nowadays

So glad the worst car thing my wife does is not clean them. I'll think of this thread and take a deep breath next time I hop in to find all the cup holders full of used napkins and snack wrappers and empty cups.

Haven't had one I disliked, but some I've liked more than others. Just go to a place that has a ton of stuff on tap and get some tasters until you find one you like. Although, I will say that I was really not sold on the idea my first couple sips, but by the middle of the glass I was really digging it. So you might just want to dive in!

Then go eat a normal dinner and don't worry about a single calorie oversight. A lb of fat is like 3500 calories and I doubt you'll eat anywhere near that to gain.

The On (Optimal Nutrition) Gold Standard brand from Costco is pretty tasty IMO. Of course I make them with whole milk, not water, so YMMV if you are anti cow-juice. Muscle Milk on the other hand is loving nasty.

Protein shakes are even worse for me because whey protein gives me the turboshits due to lactose intolerance. I am stuck with plant protein by and large, which is expensive and often way more disgusting than any whey. Having said that, I am enjoying Orgain's chocolate fudge flavoured protein (which is actually kind of palatable by itself) mixed with a couple tablespoons of peanut butter.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Lol what. I hope you make her put *a thing she likes* away because you don't like it. Pretty much this... My computer is genuinely an eyesore that I've recycled for the past 15 years with new internals, our compromise is to put it behind the tv stand since it's essentially a glorified HTPC that we use Xbox controllers to play games and emulators. We do have days where I clean and days when she cleans that one of us leaves for the day and the other just throws out a ton of poo poo. This works amazing, takes care of the clutter and rules are anything not used in the past 2 years is fair game.

You can make protein shakes without protein powder. Choose milk of choice, toss a oikos triple zero and 2 Tbsp of peanut butter and you're looking at like 25+ grams of protein. Yeah about the same as one scoop of powder but it'll taste better and you'll get enough protein elsewhere most likely.
