I give it a 5/10. No mention of beans, unix socks, or tankies.

Nope, pretty much all have a duty cycle. Like 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off, and they keep repeating that or similar for however long the cook time is. If you listen closely you can hear the magnetron kick on and off.
I believe Panasonic was the only company that sold an inverter microwave that lowered the power output.

Black plastic doesn’t yellow like white. Microwaves are pretty much a commoditized item. Unless they’re trying to make it a “smart device” and sell you a subscription.

A Shelter Full of Cats I’m a sucker for any game from Devcats.

- Comment on Longtime buddy of mine just got a gaming PC. What games would make up a good "welcome to PC" care package? 1 month ago:
So, most of my recommendations are going to be FPS or first person. For Valve related stuff:
- Half-Life 2 is pretty much a must have along with Episodes 1 and 2.
- Black Mesa is a remake of the original.
- Entropy : Zero 2 is a fantastic fan made mod that’s a good follow up after finishing Half-Life 2 and the episodes.
- The original Entropy : Zero is pretty good, but the default difficulty is hard as hell.
- Portal 1 and 2 are also a must have
- Portal: Revolution is an independent mod that’s a good follow up after 2.
As for non-Valve games and related:
- Crab Champions - fast paced, fps, rogue-like shooter.
- Talos Principle 1 and 2 - fps puzzles with a serious philosophical scifi story. It actually gets a bit heavy when it discusses death.
- Untitled Goose Game - Honk!
- Gnorp Apologue - fun little game
- Pineapple on pizza - it’s free. I would describe it as games-as-art.
- Any of the Serious Sam games. They were made for PC.
- Fallen Aces is still in early access, but a good story driven retro FPS with sprites and multiple ways of navigating each level.
- Trepang2 - a bit of an odd FPS with bullet time.
- Roboquest - rogue like FPS
- Exit 8 - horror walking simulator. Kinda short once you figure it out.
- APE OUT - Ape smash! Top down “shooter”.
- Hotline Miami 1 and 2 - top down shooters with fast deaths and excellent soundtracks
- The Binding of Isaac - has always been popular if a little dated
- Gunpoint - stealth puzzle third person. Came out a decade ago, but a good game.
- Party Hard - little indie murder-everyone-and-don’t-get-caught.
- The Stanley Parable - walking simulator with some interesting dialog and interactions. 9-to-5 office people can relate.
- Dusk - awesome boomer shooter
- Antichamber - came out a decade ago, but a it’s a mind bending puzzle fps.
- Hades and Hades 2 which is in early access. Third person isometric rogue-like.
- The Invincible - Story driven walking simulator based off the book of the same name. Good story.
- Firewatch - story driven walking simulator
- Deeprock Galactic - wasn’t my pint of beer, but a lot of people like it.

- Comment on Hi-Rez Studios announces February 17th shutdown for Realm Royale and Divine Knockout 3 months ago:
I’d be surprised if they had net positive income on Tribes 3. A lot of veteran gamers of the series saw who was really running development and decided to stay away. Once bitten, twice shy. The writing was on the wall that it was a dead game back in June.

- Comment on If I wanted to die in a viking funeral, like getting put on a boat and set ablaze while I am in the middle of the see can this be done? Or is it even legal? 4 months ago:
OP said die and I’m going to take him at his word 😉

So you want to die in a burning boat‽ While some countries in Europe allow for assisted suicide, I don’t think any allow for self immolation while at sea.
Now if you’re looking for a viking funeral procession after your death, I would think environmental regulations would be the biggest hurdle.

Embracer treats studios like they are disposable. They killed Volition (Saint’s Row), Free Radical (TimeSpltters) plus a bunch of other studios. All of that was because their $2 billion deal with the Saudi Government fell through. Some studios managed to escape when one of the Saber Interactive original owners bought back a bunch of studios. They recently killed Pieces Interactive (Alone in the Dark).
If a studio is owned by Embracer, they are lucky if they will be around in 5 years.
- Comment on What does it mean if I keep getting rashes/pimples, but only on one finger? 8 months ago:
Yeah, that was my second prescription. The first one was clobetasol propionate which you are only supposed to use two weeks on, two weeks off. It didn’t work very well.

Go see a dermatologist.
A few years ago I would get patches on the back of my hand that would itch and have tiny blisters. They were persistent and over the counter ointments weren’t helping. Finally went to a dermatologist when they got unbearable. The first one I went to prescribed an ointment that sorta worked, but not that great. Ended up going to a second dermatologist when I found out the first one was an anti-vaxxer.
The second one was on top of his game. He straight up said the first ointment wasn’t a good one to use and prescribed something much better. It knocked out the spots and itchiness after a week or two. I’ve had a couple of minor flair ups since, but the ointment eliminates it pretty quick. Haven’t had any problems for at least a year.
If you can, go see a dermatologist.

Not sure if they’re still available, but gummy bears made with Lycasin guarantee explosive results.
