Crafting is the most over used and inappropriately employed mechanic in modern gaming. Just once, I'd like an immersive Action RPG that didn't require me to kill 6,000 rattlesnakes to make a snakeskin belt.
Maybe R$ will answer.

I am referring to the Milkyway galaxy. Sun to Pluto. While yes, there is a chance I don't think intelligent life is here. They would have destroyed us a long time ago 😂
No, the sun to Pluto is the Solar System, not a galaxy 😂 The Milky Way galaxy has over 250 billion solar systems.

If there is life out there, it isn't in our Galaxy.
It absolutely could be. Not a single scientist could say that it isn't. There could be life in our neighbouring solar system.

More I hear about all of the extras, can change a game from fun to doing a second job for free. I remember when Rockstar did this kind of stuff for GTA San Andreas, to keep it real. I hated to have to stop and eat and exercise. It was kind of a hassle when trying to bust out some missions.
I imagine they'll make it easy like they do in GTA5 where you have food in your inventory you can just eat in a few seconds.

Possibility 1: There are over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in our universe, and we are alone.
Possibility 2: There are over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in our universe, and we are not alone.
One of these statements is true, and each of them are equally as profound.
Now, here are 2 problems with the idea that aliens have visited Earth, or ever will. Let me explain.
Problem 1: Timing
If life on earth were represented by a calendar, and 1st Jan 00:00 is the dawn of the first microbial life on the planet, humans, ie intelligent life, didn't turn up until 31st Dec at 23:58. The technology needed to communicate with other planets didn't come until 23:59:59.
The chances of us, intelligent beings with communication capabilities, being able to communicate with another set of intelligent beings within this infinitesimally small window that we each have, is virtually zero. Each of our windows of 1 second in a whole year would a) have to coincide and b) be long enough to make contact, which leads onto problem 2.
Problem 2: Distance
The second problem is that if there was intelligent life, capable of communicating, on the NEAREST habitable planet to us, and they looked down a telescope and looked at Earth, they would see dinosaurs. The time light takes to travel great distances is just too great. Nowhere in the universe can see human beings as they are now, let alone think to communicate with us.
The notion that flying saucers come to Earth is both ridiculous, and unfortunately, a bit ignorant.
Sorry to throw a damp cloth on it, but it's just not going to happen in our lifetimes.

Crafting in Far Cry Primal was simple and non-laborious. Looking forward to it, personally.

It called for 1 cup of milk, but that sounded like a lot. I cut that down and used a little more butter instead. I didn't want to drink my mashed potatoes... My mom swaps the milk for half & half sometimes.
I like them a little lumpy. I really thought I was going to over-mash them, I'm surprised that I didn't.
I have to say, I'm enjoying cooking for myself. Never knew food could taste so good lol
Try some grated cheese in there too. Sublime.

So I ask you, does pepper go into mashed potatoes?
YES!
The key to making a quality mashed potato is in the mashing. Take your time, get it smooooooth.

I personally was worried they would give away too much, an example being explaining in too much detail how missions will work.
Same, and this was something I tried to avoid as much as possible when watching the hands on reviews over the last week or two.

I didn't see much I didn't already know, but further cemented in my mind how beautiful and detailed the game is.

Sounds awesome! Have you ever tried using real vanilla bean over extract?
Difficult to get on a Thai island, but extract still tastes amazing!

This makes a super creamy, expensive-style ice cream.
Base:
Whip with a hand or stand mixer 1 litre quality whipping cream (chilled) until fairly thick.
Add 1 can (the smaller ones) of chilled condensed milk. Continue whipping until super thick.
This is the same every time.
Then:
Add flavourings to taste. To make a simple vanilla add 3 tablespoons of quality vanilla extract. You can make any flavour you want, for instance, I add cocoa powder and homemade chocolate oreo fudge to one mix I do. Make vanilla oreo by crushing up a pack of oreos and mixing them in with the mixer, etc etc.
Enjoy!

Anyone want an amazing SUPER SIMPLE ice cream recipe that doesn't need an ice cream maker? I own a restaurant and make it for there.

They should have at least let us hog time them lol
Then again, people would just take that the wrong way. Either way, glad they won't be being used as target practice.
Gotta be honest, some kids deserve to be hogtied. At least for a while.

The original Red Dead Redemption was one of the best games I have ever played in my lifetime. I have always wanted a sequel to RDR and now, it finally is becoming a reality. I am really looking forward to playing the game on October 26th and what discussions come up about the game on the forums.

Just have her blend it all and wear one of them hats with the straws coming out. Or if you want to be hardcore, IV your food. You'll be unstoppable.
I actually plan on getting food before I start, smash some things while I wait for the installation/download. Have some liquid food on hand too, smoothies and shakes.
It sounds like we're joking here but this is a real conversation with constructive suggestions. I particularly like the IV idea - maybe I could also get some kind of astronaut urination pipe device so I can urinate while at my desk.
Anyway, the game will be launched in my timezone at 9pm on the 25th so it looks like I'll be pulling an all-nighter.

Is there a food thread?

The only problem with the ice cream recipe I've had when using fruit juice is it crystalises in the freezer and makes your ice cream icy instead of creamy. The only real way around this is to use an ice cream maker to keep it moving as it freezes (stops it crystalising), so I just don't use fruit juice at all.
