@dave Doesn't matter. (S)electons are fake and scripted and the "winner" is always a puppet.
@aftermidnight That should be used as a taunt if Kenshin ever appears in a crossover fighting game.
@Victor_Emmanuel @BowsacNoodle @Frondeur Both relativity and time dilation are bullshit. Some Asian guy was able to debunk both of them using middle school logic.
@coolboymew I'm actually surprised to hear that most people played RollerCoaster Tycoon through these promotions. My older brother got the actual boxed version of the game, years ago, however.
@coolboymew I remember getting Operation through a General Mills cereal. Post did one for a Major League Baseball game demo (it was just a homerun contest). The only other cereal box game I remember was probably some Jumpstart game about a circus, but I think only my sister played that one and very briefly.
@coolboymew Even better, we should bring back cereal box PC games.
@thendrix Thanks for the tips. I've been trying to learn from this guy. He seems to be the master at cooking professional quality pizzas at home.
@beardalaxy @icedquinn When I saw it cooking in the oven, it was looking like Sbarro's and I was expected to get sick from it, but it turned out fine.
What I really would like to do is to make a pizza that only uses organic ingredients while still tasting like something you get from a restaurant. That would be great because I'm trying to eat more organic lately, but I can never give up pizza no matter what.
@beardalaxy I agree that #5 is the best, but there are a few drawbacks I can think of:
* They are still echo-chambers, but for hobbies/ideologies/lifestyles that are considered niche, which isn't a bad thing, but if you disagree with them, even on one thing, you may be labeled as a "normie" and be told that you belong on Reddit/Facebook/Twitter.
* Despite our presence on here, these places *MIGHT* not be the best places to build a brand (e.g. indie games, webcomics, etc) unless those brands in question cater to that type of culture (i.e loli/hentai games). I think it's generally fine to be on here, but you need to be careful. Don't sign up on some instance or host your code on some repository with the word "cum" or anything like that in the name because some people will take that as an excuse to cancel you.
* These types of places attract three-letter agencies. Once these people get involved, expect fedposts and CP spam everywhere (we are nowhere near that level yet, but there are signs of it growing everyday).
Attempt #1 at creating a restaurant quality pizza at home:
So with my new pizza stone, I decided to first try to make a New York-style pizza with it, according to this video:
https://youchu.be/watch?v=OuwSQWwjDp0
It didn't turn out the way I expected, but it was much better than most homemade pizzas I've tried. The dough was just like ordinary, homemade pizza dough however because a family member insisted that they made the dough (they probably took pride in their own pizza and hated that I was trying to make something more "professional"). The dough I used didn't have high-gluten bread flour and instead used regular flour only. I also underestimated how much the dough was going to rise.
I think what truly changed the game was the cheese. Everyone assumes that since pizza is Italian, you are supposed to use Italian cheese, but it's actually a mix between Mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano that you should use. You should also sprinkle a little bit of oregano on it. I think I overdid the oregano.
Best pizza I could compare it to is Sbarro's pizza because they also overuse oregano (at least from my experience). Sauce and cheese were fine, but the dough still gave it the "homemade" vibe. I expected the stone to make it crispy, but I guess it really needed that bread flour.
Maybe I should try a New Jersey-style bar pizza next time.
