You only need to change a few ingredients for it to be nice.
Make it bread dough, and replace the M&Ms with small cubes of cheese.
Then replace the “Greek salad” bit with melted cheese.
- Comment on Starcom: Unknown Space 5 days ago:
It’s been on my wishlist for a while and I was hovering over buying it during this Steam sale… I might get it tomorrow.
Is the first one in the series worth playing as well?

Absolutely, I plan to :)

I’m a little shocked by how few of those I’ve even heard of
- Comment on Does he think he is The King? 1 week ago:
Your majesty! That’s exactly what King Nelson Mbgawa of Sudan said yesterday! It’s funny how you Royals can be so careless at times!
I will of course arrange the transfer as soon as possible, and might I add, what a great honour to do so.

That makes sense, thank you :)

What is a “closer” in the first place?
- Comment on Does he think he is The King? 1 week ago:
I have no reason to doubt you, actual Jaden Smith.
However, I must admit that my username is actually a pseudonym.
- Comment on Does he think he is The King? 1 week ago:
We’re all relatively anonymous on Lemmy. He might literally be the king.
- Comment on I'm definitely giggling 2 weeks ago:
Some years back, there was a “toad trail” in Hull - one of those things where there’s 100 sculptures installed around the city, each painted by a different artist, school or group.
Anyway, the vowel shift in Hull that turns “smoke” into “smirk” have us the joyous sentence:
“I’m off into town to go and see all the brightly coloured turds”

Blue cheese is almost entirely creamy-offwhite coloured.

Creatively, yes - but physically, no.

Got you.
Kirrab ass.
- Comment on Kiribati 3 weeks ago:
Are you pronouncing the “bass” bit like the fish “sea bass” or the instrument “bass guitar”? (e.g. ass or ace)

What the left image shows as two people’s arms, could be interpreted to look like naked bumcheeks/buttcheeks when the image is upside down.
- Comment on The Fuck Jar 4 weeks ago:
Any vowel is permitted - so fack, feck, fick, fock, fuck and controversially fyck are all valid.
- Comment on 'Huge respect to the folks at Obsidian': Todd Howard invited Obsidian devs onto Fallout season 2's set so they could see New Vegas in the flesh 4 weeks ago:
Makes you think of what could have been, if they’d done the new Fallouts as tactical/Turn Based RPGs, rather than first person shooters - although the new Wasteland games do a pretty good job of filling that niche.
- Comment on What life hack helped you this year? 5 weeks ago:
I do appreciate that the listed recipe is “relatively quick and simple”, but I’m not convinced by “literally the same effort”.
If it was, then why would anyone buy the millions of frozen/boxed/packeted “just put it in the oven for 30 minutes” or “just put it in the microwave for 2 minutes” meals? They’re not buying them for the high-quality taste, surely?
- Comment on What life hack helped you this year? 5 weeks ago:
Massively cheaper and almost certainly better for you, yes - but arguably not as low effort as “beep beep beep, ping”.
- Comment on What life hack helped you this year? 5 weeks ago:
Your “no effort” meal, sounds like a lot of effort to me.
My low effort meal is “open packet, put ready meal in oven or microwave”
- Comment on DAE name their characters by their official name? 5 weeks ago:
I either use the default names, or give them “standard English older bloke names”. The grander the adventure, the more un-grand a name they get.
Things like “Ian Williams”, “Neville Smith”, “Terry Phillips”, “Frank Jones” etc. The sort of names that would work for the City Council’s Road Maintenance Department.
- Comment on I'm in a hotel in America with no kettle in my room, if I want tea I have to microwave it. 1 month ago:
I can confirm they exist, as one of the places I sometimes work has one - the base unit has a button for 70°/80°/90°/100°.
However, despite probably drinking in excess of 50,000 cups of tea in my life, I’ve only ever seen one of these kettles. The others have all been either “normal electric kettles” as you described, those always-on-water-boiler things you get in offices, or very occasionally, a traditional “put it on the hob or camping stove” kettle.
- Comment on I'm in a hotel in America with no kettle in my room, if I want tea I have to microwave it. 1 month ago:
I think it’s 50% this, and 50% “boiling water repeatedly all day is simply less important to them”.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
Yeah, the Steam Deck is actually pretty good for this on most games.
On a computer, you can, I suppose, set up a keyboard shortcut to pause the process, but you still think “this should just be part of the game in the first place”.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
Not being able to pause or save at any point.
I’m a “grown-up” these days, but I grew up with games and they’re part of my life, and I love them - but in the larger scale of things, they’re still toys. The requirements of a pet/partner/child/phone call/doorbell will
alwaysnearly always outrank them.“We don’t let you pause because it’s a simulation and and you can’t pause real life so it means the game is more realistic” = piss off
- Comment on UK hospitals bracing for once-in-a-decade flu surge this winter 1 month ago:
I don’t think the rules have changed, so more likely an admin issue than a change in eligibility - I’d probably contact them.

Wes Fucking Streeting? He’s even more right-wing than Starmer!
- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 1 month ago:
Yeah, I was just having a little joke - I actually have quite a lot of respect for his various environmental/social/other projects… but it’s still quite funny to get a medal from your mum :)
- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 1 month ago:
Is the “Queen’s service order” (presumably from his mam) basically just like when my mum gave me a sticker for helping do the washing up?
- Comment on ‘Andrew Tate is dead’: inside the minds of 16-year-olds 1 month ago:
In a way, I think them saying he’s dead as in ‘irrelevant’ and ‘just a meme’ is probably better than him being dead as in ‘not alive any more’, at least for the time being.
Nobody’s going to try and make him a martyr of anything, just sort of ignore him and occasionally laugh at him.
That said, I feel I wouldn’t be too upset if he expired in prison.
