That’s only the alcohol stuff, lol. I also do sourdough, yogurt, other natural sodas, and lacto pickles.
Success - Blond smash. Once again proves that 5 weeks in the bottle is a magic number. 4 weeks? Eh. 5 weeks? AMAZING.
Failure - Watermelon wine. It’s just sour. Not in a good way, at all. Tastes kinda like the rind, though there was no rind in it. Maybe backsweetening?
Waiting - choc hazelnut porter. choc comes thru, hazelnut not at all. Needs more aging time. I feel like darker beers need more time. It’s almost 3 months, gonna test it.
Fermenting - ginger bugged root beer. Made root beer syrup to make root beer soda. Was ok, needs work. Remaining half into a 1 gal fermenter. It was due 2 weeks ago, but it’s fine. It’ll need back sweetening and bottle carb, but that’ll be another drumroll 5 weeks.
On deck - It’s time for a holiday beer. Something spiced. IDK what. It takes 2 months, so it’ll be ready early December if I start now. Hmm…
Lol, that makes sense. They have completely different philosophies on business. Morhaime was gaming first, Kotick was greed first.
FTA:
According to Schreier, the problems began immediately after Activision purchased Blizzard in 2007.
That makes sense. I’ve been in companies that changed owners. The change starts when the new people walk in, but it takes time to “turn the ship” so to speak. It will turn, but it takes time. The corruption is slow, boiling-frog style.
I’m enjoying it so far. Only played a couple of missions but it’s back to being fun.
What issues?
Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s requiem. It’s an older game, GameCube era. I don’t like horror games and this one isn’t true horror. There are some good jump scares and body horror though. I had to stop after a certain scene because of the jump scares. The sanity system is really great.
Good for them. Staying shows abusers what they can get away with.
Oh what? It’s not the original devs? Fucking hell. No wonder it sucks.
Oh, thanks!
beather ales
What’s beather? Web searching isn’t giving good results.
mmmmmm envious. I need an apple source.
oooooh, I loved 3. This could be good.
I never interact with those, bc I never visit the community directly. They don’t bother me, they don’t help me.
It’s fine as it is.
🗺️ Embark on an epic journey to Oregon with the official successor to the iconic classic.
Legit successor? interesting.
edit: after watching… I’m not sure. The original was lightning in a bottle: right time, right game, right place. This has parts of it, for sure, but I don’t think the original can be made again. There are a buuuunch of new mechanics. Could be good or bad. Need more detail.
Eh. Pass. I don’t care for creepy horror without something else. I liked horror comedy, campy earlier versions.
Hardspace shipbreaker. You are a wage slave in orbit, disassembling and salvaging ships and binning the components. It’s very dystopian. Essentially it’s a puzzle game, to maximize profit and completion rate, but with physics and lasers.
There’s abotu 5 seconds of “mecha” in the trailer. Looks awesome, but that is sooooo brief.
I vote we launch the children as weapons.
Never believe that asshole. He’s from the same class as Kotick, but better at faking it.
