If it weren't for the resurgence of mid-budget RPGs, I might actually care that AAA has become about as compelling as a night at the nickel slots.

I thought this thread was actually about food. Turns out it is about a bad space videogame. Anyway, seeing how I recently typed this up for my friend and gamers loving love ez-mac here is Peacock's super ultra special fancy mac and cheese recipe: Ingredients: 1/2 cup Pine nuts A handful of Pancetta, cubed - you can use bacon here I guess but I'm all about fancy Italian pork fat. A bag of macaroni (the 16oz regular bag, not the 5 pound Costco big ole sack of noodles.) 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons flour Some whole milk A decent pour of dry, cheap, bitter, champagne if your feeling fancy. If not a pour of any bubbly bitter liquid you have on hand will work. Like that beer you're holding. That'll work. Just nothing too dark or too sweet like a stout or a porter. Something between PBR and an IPA. 1 cup sharp as gently caress White Cheddar 1/2 cup Gruyere 1/2 cup Asiago The preparation: First things first, shred all that cheese. If you don't shred it, it won't melt quickly and you'll end up with bug lumps of cold cheese in your finished product. Once all that poo poo is shredded, toss it together in a big bowl, like a luxurious cheese salad, and set it aside. Cook the macaroni. I like my noodles squishy, you might like yours al dente. I don't really care just cook the goddamn noodles. For the love of god please add some oil and salt to the water so the noodles don't stick together. While the pasta is cooking it's time to roast the pine nuts. Take a skillet and get it nice and warm over medium heat and then dump the pine nuts in. Make sure they are in a single layer with a couple of light shakes of the skillet. After that, DONT gently caress WITH THEM, lettem sit. Once you smell the wonderful aroma of toasted pine nuts givem another shake to turn them over. Lettem sit a little while longer then remove them from the heat and transfer them to a bowl for later. Feel free to snack on a few because you paid for those things and they are loving expensive and you've earned it. The macaroni should still be bubbling away. In the same pan you toasted the pine nuts, pour enough olive oil to coat the pan. Swirl that poo poo around until you get an even coat, you know the drill. Once the pan is evenly coated, drop that handful of cubed pancetta (or bacon if you're a goddamn monster) into the pan. Let that poo poo get all nice and crispy. With the pig fat a sizzling, drain the macaroni and set it aside. In the pot you cooked the macaroni in, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted slowly add an equal amount of flour, stirring while you dust the flour into the butter. This will form a roux, the base for our cheese sauce. Add some whole milk and some beer to the roux. I don't know exactly how much, you just gotta eyeball this. The roux will be pretty pasty so add equal parts bubbly liquid and milk until it looks like you can melt some cheese in it. It'll look like like yogurt but thinner. Anyway, start adding the cheese mixture we made earlier. Drop the cheese in a small handful at a time stirring as needed to incorporate the cheese into the sauce. If the sauce gets too thick, add more beer and milk. The sauce should be pretty thick by the time everything is incorporated. Think whipped ricotta cheese you'd use in a lasagne. It's a fairly solid mass. It doesn't run everywhere but you can still run a spoon through it and whip it without any issues. I hope you didn't forget about the pig bits. You should have been watching them this whole time. Basically cook them until they reach your desired level of bacon doneness. I'm a soggy center with crispy edges kinda guy. Some confused and immoral people like their bacon crispy and dry. Whatever. When they're done takem off the heat and put them on plate covered with a paper towel to absorb all that excess fat. I know what you're thinking, I love fat too, but the excess fat introduced here will actually impeded our sauce's ability to adhere to our noodles. A bad thing. So now we toss everything together. Dump the drained macaroni on top of the cheese sauce and fold that poo poo together until the noodles are evenly coated. Finish it off by dumping the pig fat cubes and the pine nuts on top and mixing them into the noodles. If you're worried about your health you can take a big ole wad of spinach and wilt it in the left over pig grease and add that as well.

hard counter posted:no one is saying don't criticize bioware ever but rather try to make deliberate and honest criticisms - i'm skeptical of a criticism that goes as far as saying that bioware's brand of progressivism is just a shallow hoax when time and time again that company also bears risks other companies won't when it comes to including unrepresented groups and certain kinds of controversial content that continue to run against the grain of the climate the individual games are released in yeah bioware is pretty good at progressive social stuff. even when the make misteps or go hamfisted(dorians personal quest) they still mean well. the only time i got mad about them over it was them putting up with andromads gameplay designer going on rants all day every day about poo poo instead of doing his loving job. then when he eventualy leaves. he talked about how the company was bad and evil and he would poo poo on them for money. i would have fired his stupid rear end sooner.

Manveer is pretty far up on the list of really vile public-facing video games industry people, and it won’t surprise me in the least when it comes out he pays a (white) dom a grip of cash every month to stop on his nuts in a diaper.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:yes, turns out he's just a massive idiot rear end in a top hat doing his best Performative Wokeness yeah pretty much. he compared himself to Malcolm x on the podcast. while i am sure the dude is right about some of the stuff but he is just a angry prick who only likes lickspittles. im cute posted:Manveer is pretty far up on the list of really vile public-facing video games industry people, and it won’t surprise me in the least when it comes out he pays a (white) dom a grip of cash every month to stop on his nuts in a diaper. i honestly dont think he "quite". i think he got loving sacked when his job was done and people got tired of him getting pissed about every loving thing in story. he is lucky because the games story ended up being poo poo but he is acting like it was the colonialism. not the fact that its a bad rehash. what sucks is the stuff he is complaing about is real and should be fixed. but through the whole podcast he keeps testing the water to see how much money he can make for blowing the whistle.

It is funny to be racist/sexist against the dominate race/sex, right up until it stops being a joke and starts being actual racism/sexism. The moment people take it seriously, pump the breaks. If YOU are the one taking it seriously, reconsider a few things about yourself

i am more annoyed that he basically acts like he was the only competent and good person at the company because people apparently loved the gameplay of andromada. but he makes some good points how the game early on was supposed to be alot more linear setpiece mission type thing and in the latter half of development, the higher ups wanted open world with open world quests. so they got hosed. he makes a bunch of great points but he is a overly passionate kinda self serving angry dick. he kinda hinted at anthem turning out to be a giant shitshow so that will be fun. my guess is after anthem flop, papa EA is gonna take bioware to the family grave.
