  • Here’s why it’s bullshit: it still has Teflon (or whatever). You still can’t use metal utensils, because goodbye nonstick layer. You still can’t get it searingly hot. The uneven surface could make cleaning more complicated. Any Teflon-like nonstick will accumulate wear and tear and thermal expansion stress until it cracks, peels or stops being nonstick, all of which are good reasons to throw it away for ergonomic and (probably) health reasons. Being surrounded by stainless or whatever is going to change none of that.

    I would suggest just getting one of each “major kind of pan” - nonstick and either cast iron or stainless will let you do most things. Getting all three doesn’t need to break the bank either. Then you can save the nonstick for the stuff that really needs it, give everything else the heat and surface it deserves.

    N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right… prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was… still pretty awkward.

    I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.











  • Gave Baldur’s Gate 3 a try, I don’t think it’s for me. I didn’t realize before starting that I absolutely fucking hate that kind of RNG, the Mindflayer “aesthetic” (body horror á la HR Giger-on-some-less-friendly-hallucinogenics? Check. Eye scream? Check. ), the threat of having content locked behind “lol, fuck you, you got the wrong dice roll hours ago”, and, under the hood, a bunch of spreadsheet-esque mechanics I don’t know jack about, never having played DnD.

    Shame, seems like a lot of fun if you’re into it.
