Cooking food generally makes it safe to eat. If you are the only person handling it between cooking it and eating it you're probably ok. But in a restaurant or something, it could be tampered with during that time, or it could be old and kept warm at a temperature that isn't high enough to kill bacteria.

I am thinking how it unjustly hurts people from the rest of the American continent.

Here in Canada, we call people from the USA "Americans". There's no confusion, and if you called a Canadian "American" they would correct you immediately. If you explained you meant it in reference to the continent of North America they would still insist that you don't. It may be technically correct, but it would be frowned upon. We appreciate your consideration, but the word is firmly their word, at least to us. "North American" would be fine, though.

Turn on dark mode if it exists

I thought about your reply and how my comment comes off, and I agree, they should try fixing things and counseling. Giving up should be the last resort. My bias is showing. My stance is directed at knowing when to get out of an abusive/controlling/one-sided relationship, but I don't know these people or have enough info to determine if that is really their situation.

Dark Souls 2, again. I'm helping a new player and the really bad co-op mechanics might be enough to push me to try out some mods like seamless co-op and the lighting engine which looks gorgeous.

Dome Keeper. I didn't realize it was made in Godot which is neat and encouraging to see. I really like the gameplay loop and graphics and look forward to unlocking more things to shake it up.

New Super Lucky's Tale. The burrow mechanic was pretty fun. While the game wasn't very challenging it was still a good playthrough and visually strong. The best part was the bonus world at the end where you really get to let the abilities rip, especially in combat. I wish there were more enemies around in the rest of the game because the way you can chain together attacks and create a "flow" was fun and seriously under-utilized.

Sounds like the relationship is over and neither of them has admitted it yet.

My last name is neither my mom or dad's. It's my mom's ex-husband's from before I was born. I guess she still legally had the name after they split, and I inherited it - not her side of the family or my father's last name, since they weren't married. So I carry a last name for some family I'm not a part of biologically or otherwise, and have never met anyone from that family. And I'm estranged from the entirety of both sides of my biological family, so neither of those names would be viable replacements.

It does and has always bothered me a bit. I've never felt pride about my name or where I came from. I've never felt the sense of family that my friends seemed to have. Or the sense of identity that might come from wearing a jersey with your last name across the back. I just feel like a misfit, so in a way this misfit name is kind of appropriate. It's hasn't been a priority to change it, and nobody gives a shit for spite to have any effect. They would never find out.

$135 for a game. Noted.

Immolation. Their sound on recordings is fine, but their live sound was unexpectedly amazing.

That, or he might actually like Mark Carney. The entire tone seemed to change after they spoke.

I have one, only because it was an open-box special. I don't really notice a difference compared to a flat screen when I'm immersed in a game or whatever.

It absolutely brought me back to the late 90s shooters I grew up with. Lots of fun, but there were also a lot of parts I got stuck on, too. I will need some time before I play again / consider the BM version - maybe after HL2. Thanks for the additional info.

I'll clear my throat, jingle my keys, make louder footsteps to make my presence known, especially at night or when turning a corner. It's not just for women, but for any person or animal to not be startled.

I think it's a combination of courtesy, habit from having worked in a restaurant kitchen, and camping in bear country.

Sad music is the best. Deftones are way more horny than angry.

I just finished my first playthrough of Half-Life and wish I had known about this alternate version, it looks great. Thanks for the write up.

3D platformers, my beloved.

Thanks for sharing and giving some things to look forward to.

This. I'm afraid to provide examples in case OP wants to train an AI model on artists I admire, or something.
