Part of the issue there is actually the 360 controller, from my experience. It has one of the worst D-pads ever made. That said, platformers and fighting games are typically the only ones I use a D-pad on anyway, so if you don’t play those you’d likely never use it.

I had Squeak Squad on the DS and played through it many times. I’ve been playing through some of the others (still don’t have the recent 3D one), and my biggest complaint is just that I’m not the target audience anymore. Haha. Some difficulty settings would be wonderful. However, whenever I want to turn off my brain for a bit I’ll boot up Triple Trouble or Amazing Mirror sometimes.

I’m trying out Thunder and it is going well so far

Oof. You’d think if they wanted to surprise people with twists and turns they’d just make a new game instead of altering the plot of a remake (unless I’m misunderstanding).

Might be a bit narrow, but if you wanted to make some pickle spears it should work.

I like to do a fridge pickle (always gets eaten within a few weeks, so spoilage isn’t a huge concern). Something like this pickled jalapeño recipe works with most veggies, and you can use some whole black peppercorn and mustard seeds (or a pickling spice mix) to give it that pickle flavor.

I think I’m OOTL. An ant-fascist statement from them is wonderful, but what is their association to the Potsdam incident referenced in the statement?

Edit: is it just that they are a German company?

I have gotten whole cases of CD-R’s at yard sales and thrift stores. I do not own a single CD-RW. Even when I purchase them, the CD-R’s are so cheap that if I mess up I can just toss the error and still come out ahead. If I needed to overwrite it frequently I would probably just use a different media if available (like a USB drive).

For some reason my first thought was that this would be an A Tribe Called Quest crossover meme.

Fireworks. Gandalf is famous for them.

Have you given this a try yet? I’m interested to know how it turned out, if so.

Smoked paprika is a fantastic idea, especially if you use it as part of a dry rub for the shrimp (assuming you are cooking them). If not, it’ll still go great in the potentially gross pineapple mayo dressing. And if you’re using mild cheddar you may be able to do without a marshmallow substitute entirely.

If you plan to eat it, I might have some suggestions. As a disclaimer, I am not a chef. Just somebody who watches a lot of cooking shows and tries to make new recipes often.

• The marshmallows are likely there to balance the sharpness of the cheddar. I would either omit them entirely or use a sweeter cheese, like a honey goat cheese.
• The recipe may be missing the smokiness of the bacon if you use shrimp (despite shrimp and pineapple being a better pairing). If you want shrimp in it, I’d recommend using it in addition to the bacon instead of as a substitute.
• The quality of mayonnaise definitely matters. I would look for a smaller thing of Duke’s if you’re near the southeastern US, or Hellman’s otherwise.

To answer your questions, I’d definitely try a bite (despite it being an abomination) if for no other reason than I put the effort into it to make. If it is anything like coleslaw, it will be better after it sets in the fridge for a half hour or so.

I personally cannot comment on the Midwestern part. I can’t imagine they use a ton of shrimp, being landlocked and all, but even in a coastal state I get it frozen so 🤷‍♂️

I think I remember them mentioning that the replicators can’t make very complex items, like a layered alcoholic drink. That and honestly a lot of people would probably still go just for the social aspect.

I can’t find anything for sure on the webpage, but I haven’t run across a DVD in good condition that it can’t rip. I may just be lucky and not own any DRM protected DVDs, though.

I typically use the beta version of MakeMKV on Windows, but I would have no clue what to use on my Debian machine. I hope you are able to resolve your issue, though.

I’ve been ripping DVDs for several years now and have never seen this issue. What program did you use? I thought most retail DVDs were read only once shipped, so I am not sure how you could corrupt it.

Have you tried playing it in another player (like a recent game console or a Blu Ray player)? It could be a corrupted driver for your PC’s disc drive.

Until someone comes in with a valid option, MyAnonaMouse has open sign ups with a relatively short interview. That was my first private tracker and I passed the interview despite barely knowing how to torrent. I’ve heard invites are easy to come by if you know someone, too. Ratio is incredibly easy to maintain, too.

It is not a public tracker, and as such does not answer your prompt. Just wanted to provide a stopgap until a valid option is suggested.

Ever since I switched to Linux I don’t really use Eddie as much, but I agree it could be more intuitive. Even on Windows I typically only spent 30 seconds or less with the client, though, so it didn’t bother me.
