  • I understand that’s the purpose of a party game, but the mini games I saw were literally chose a thing and it will explode or it will not, no fun involved after you experience it once. Not even like a blue shell that still needs you to move forward.

    Also there was a game that made you chose a 1 or 2 and once you got to a few players, it was impossible to win regardless if you got left with the option before the bee hive. At least make the dice spin faster when less players are around to make it feel random but fair (even if it isn’t).

    There is a point where things move from fun and chaotic to completely random and less replayable.







  • Out of curiosity as an owner of a QNAP NAS, how did it go out? Any signs it was in its last legs? Now that I’ve used one, the form factor is the only thing better than most options out there when I got it.

    Nowadays all QNAP, Sinology and other NAS vendors supposedly offer a lot of extra value with their cloud options, but I find them a sure way to get hacked based on the average company’s investment in security (I work in IT, it is a sad affair sometimes) combined with all the ransomware specifically targeting them due to old packages they rely on = I’ll build my next system from the ground up, even if the initial cost is higher and the result is uglier.





  • Personal opinion: Because some food should not be that cheap. It’s part of the reason we are so fat in the US (plus car centric cities). Subsidies keep some things like corn artificially low and they end up being hammered in into every product (biodiesel, sweeteners, animal feed, etc.)

    With that setup, companies have learned to use those subsidies and other workarounds and loopholes to maximize profit at the expense of the product being output and we fall for it every time.

    Edit: plus the usual smoke screen if using some events like COVID to jack prices up, increase executive pay and acquire smaller companies to artificially set the price in some instances.

    In Mexico there is a phrase “comete un taco” (eat a taco) since a homemade taco is a tortilla with anything on it. We buy 1/2 - 1 kilo of (corn) tortillas for a family of four every day or every other day (depending on the food consumed) and it pairs really well with anything. E.g.:

    • Eggs, salsa and tortillas
    • Beans, cactus, salsa and tortillas
    • Beef stew with rolled up tortillas
    • Crunchy tortillas (slow comal/gridle heated to make them similar to a tostada, but without frying) with some sour cream, beans, lettuce and salsa
    • Cheese quesadilla, generally salsa too (or even hot sauce) - optionally beans and/or some meat
    • A taco similar to the one in the picture (maybe minus the cheese, but you could add it of course). These are a little harder to make since they call for specific meats or preparation, so they tend to be more commonly consumed from a vendor specializing in them.
    • etc.

    Since there is a tortilla in most homemade variations (the taco), everyday can be taco day. The salsa would mostly be served whatever you already have in the fridge, red, green, mild, spicy, etc. Sometimes flour tortillas are used, but corn is more common (and supposedly healthier according to the moms).
