  • The “14 years” part of the headline is particularly annoying. This thing that happens several times a year will happen the second time this month next week! It’s like a headline about getting three paychecks in a month and how it won’t happen again for six months. Technically true, but it’s still a regular paycheck.










  • A Plague Tale is an incredible example of what can be done with a linear design. Both Innocence and Requiem were amazing.

    Open world games like the Witcher 3 leave the player with this really weird interaction with plot urgency. I’m looking for someone but just barely missed them? Hurry to the next town so I don’t miss them again? But then zero consequences when I ignore that quest for twenty levels.





  • Instant pot rice: -Wash rice several times, more if you want to avoid the rice all sticking together. Drain thoroughly after each wash. -For rice that typically uses 2 cups of water per cup of rice, like long grain rice or basmati rice, add 1 1/4 cups (1.25 cups) of water per cup of rice. -Pressure cook for six minutes. -Natural release for at least ten minutes, more is also okay. -Fluff rice before serving.

    This works perfectly every time for me and is just as good as the fancy rice maker I used to have. I haven’t made rice on the stove in years. Even when I was making it on the stove, it was never this good, and definitely never this consistent.
