12/25/2023 0 Comments Torchlight 2 duplicate login![]() You might kill a sprite who drops a golden key, then go looking for the chest it opens. The campaign is randomised from the overworld down, remixing environments and sprinkling them with events that keep the pace up even as you go about the busywork of map clearance. In terms of features, Torchlight II has tremendous scope. Offline play, six player co-op (both online and over LAN) and full mod support are all present, and Steam Cloud support enables the game to benefit from the best bits of modern online integration. Other aspects are much more gratefully received. In a year where multiple RPGs have figured out that freedom to change your mind actually results in more interesting decisions, not less, this aspect of Torchlight II's design sticks out as an unwelcome manifestation of its early noughties influences. Certainly, it's a system where decisions have consequences: it's just that those consequences are a needless waste of time. If I want her to be perfect I either need to start again or wait for the inevitable respec mod, and both feel like a compromise. This effectively prevents shifts in direction at high levels: even though I've built a character I like, I can't change her - and my skill trees are littered with discarded investments. Unfortunately, Torchlight II limits your ability to respec to undoing the last three skill decisions you made. In the long term, however, there's a lot of scope for cleverness and creativity. The system is over reliant, as many action-RPGs are, on incrementing your power by tiny percentages every time you spend a point and each individual level up can feel inconsequential as a result. Instead, new skills open up as you level, allowing for greater dabbling as you progress. Unlike the original Torchlight, you don't need to invest points in a skill tree to unlock its late-game potential. The two are linked: attributes determine the relative power of your weapon and magic damage, for example, impacting the usefulness of the skills you may choose to invest in. Levelling grants you points to spend on attribute boosts and new skills. I arrived at the Embermage through a process of experimentation: given the game's hundred levels of character advancement, I recommend you do the same before committing. They're a varied bunch, although the game struggles to communicate precisely how different they are before you start playing. The Engineer is a tank that can specialise in heavy weapons or sword-and-shield durability, with the option of swapping out for a massive handheld cannon and an army of robotic pets. The Berserker channels spirit animals to augment melee attacks, buffing allies and debuffing foes to build an advantage. Character emerges as you settle on a playstyle: I'm a stationary death vortex now, but I could have specced differently - a teleporting, sword-wielding warrior mage, perhaps.īesides the Embermage, the other predominantly ranged character is the Outlander: a mobile weapons platform specialising in guns, glaives, and debilitating magic. You're chasing down the villainous Alchemist - one of the original game's protagonists - for reasons that nobody in the game sounds especially concerned about. Your place in Torchlight II's plot is circumstantial: you're a hero, and that's about it. ![]() ![]() By and large, though, the character I've made worked in act one and she's still working a campaign and a bit later. I think you've met.Īs the difficulty rises, it's sometimes necessary to tinker with the machinery: to invest in new skills, or alter the opening moves of my combat rotation. When this happens I summon a duplicate of myself, just because I can. Every point of damage I do fills my charge bar, which ultimately reduces the casting cost of all my spells to zero. My firestorm plants a fire vulnerability on enemies that my columns of flame capitalise on, explosively. I have a passive ability that randomly teleports attackers further away. My wands cast random spells when I kill an enemy. As an action-RPG, the worst thing about Torchlight II is the way that loot, skill choice and chance bubbles over into a fountain of light and treasure at the whiff of a right-click, in the exact same way, for as long as you can keep going.Īfter more than 20 hours I've built my Embermage into a machine for the consumption and processing of monsters. As an action-RPG, the best thing about Torchlight II is the way that loot, skill choice and chance bubbles over into a fountain of light and treasure at the whiff of a right-click, every single time, for as long as you can keep going. ![]()

12/25/2023 0 Comments Supermarket sweep abc![]() ![]() ![]() The team lost the prize money they won during the last sweep and went home with $4218, the points that they won previously.Ĭatch ‘Supermarket Sweep’ every Sunday at 8/7c on ABC. The riddle was, “In Italy, they don’t drink these juice pouches under the sicilian moon… They drink them under the -,” the answer to which was, ‘Capri Sun’. The fast-paced and energetic series follows three teams of two as they battle it out using their grocery shopping skills and knowledge of merchandise to win big cash prizes. After an initial hesitation, the duo decided to play on and that was probably not the right decision as they failed to answer the last riddle. ABC is bringing back the classic TV game show 'Supermarket Sweep,' hosted and executive produced by Emmy® Award-nominated comedienne and actress Leslie Jones. At this point, host Leslie asked them if they would want to play on or cash out with the money they won. The duo confidently moved on to the final round guessing the first three riddles within seconds securing them $25,000. Well, in this case it was Team Cereal as they managed to secure a whooping 4218 points. The big sweep round is the most fast-paced thrill and exciting part of the show as we saw teams running around in haste from one aisle to another, falling, tripping and frantically searching for the items that will get one of the teams to the final round. The three teams got ready for the big sweep keeping its viewers on the edge of their seat. There is also a game where the teams were given riddles and clues in the form of one or two random letters that the word (that is the correct answer) consists of. By the end of the mini sweeps, Team Cereal gained the maximum points giving them a heads up in the bigger sweep. It can go from guessing "food facts" where one needs to know which items in certain flavours does not exist to guessing products through celebrity names. Later, David Ruprecht became the host when it was rebooted in the 90s and then again in the early 2000s. The initial gaming rounds began with mini sweeps, like the pattern of the show goes, where each team member has to use their talent in guessing names of brands and grocery items through riddles. The first version of the game show aired on ABC in the 60s and was hosted by Bill Malone. The show progressed with these three teams of two members each coming together and putting their grocery shopping skills to use. ABC’s ‘Supermarket Sweep’ is a reboot of the '60s classic game show that follows three pairs where they battle it out using their grocery shopping skills and knowledge of merchandise to win big cash prizes.įor the latest episode on ‘Supermarket Sweep’, there's Team PB and J, Team Cereal and Team French Fries. ![]() 12/25/2023 0 Comments Best slow cooker recipes of all time![]() ![]() Once switched over to the warm setting, the temperature dropped quickly, sitting around 155 degrees Fahrenheit to 160 degrees Fahrenheit for the duration of the test. ![]() We tested each cooker initially by filling it with water and measuring how quickly it came up to a safe cooking temperature and how well it maintained that temperature. The All-Clad heated up fast, reaching a safe target temperature of 185 degrees Fahrenheit in just two hours and then stayed at that exact same temperature for the remaining four hours. It also offered the most programmability and one of the longest cooking times of the models we tested. With its stainless steel exterior, handles and rivets and ceramic insert, this slow cooker not only looks top-notch and elegant but will also give you a perfectly cooked dinner. The All-Clad 7-Quart Slow Cooker lives up to the brand’s reputation for quality, high-end cookware. Most other slow cookers we tested didn’t have this mode, so if you want to brown ingredients you would have to do so on the stovetop first before throwing them in the slow cooker.īest luxury slow cooker: All-Clad 7-Quart Slow Cooker Using this feature, we ended up with crispy chicken wings falling off the bone and mouthwatering onions with that little extra flavor. We browned both chicken wings and onions - before slow cooking them - and while it doesn’t switch modes automatically, we found the process extremely easy. Since this slow cooker was one of our favorites, we went one step further to test the browning and sautéing functionality as well. ![]() The cord on this slow cooker was also one of the longer ones measured, which helps if your outlet socket is slightly farther away from your cooking space. This helps with maneuvering the slow cooker and ensuring no little hands are burnt. If you’re concerned about that class of chemical it’s something you may want to keep in mind.Īside from a perfectly delicious meal - during all of our cooking tests - we loved that the housing and all handles stayed cool to touch. While the coating used is PFOA-free - like all nonstick coatings produced for sale since 2015 - many other PFAS are still in use, and it’s unclear which compounds may be found in currently produced nonstick cookware (and in many other consumer products). This makes it extremely lightweight and dishwasher-friendly. Once your meal is fully cooked, the slow cooker will automatically switch to the warm setting for up to eight hours.īecause of the multifunctionality, the pot is aluminum with a nonstick coating. ![]() The 3-in-1 even allows for combination cooking where you can switch between cooking modes in a single touch - without having to turn the slow cooker off and back on again. It isn’t as full-featured as an Instant Pot, however, and is optimized for slow cooking, with the secondary functions serving mainly to let you prepare all stages of a dish in the same pot, reducing the amount of pots, pans and bowls you need to wash. I started keeping a file with all of our FAVORITE crock pot recipes and now I have them all here to share with you guys! They are our ABSOLUTE favorite tried and true crock pot recipes that stay in our rotation.The Cuisinart is technically a multicooker since it allows you to brown, sauté and steam as well as slow cook. oh I hate that term but you know what I mean… when I worked outside the home, my crock pot was a LIFE SAVER. With our busy family, the slow cooker has kept us out of the drive thru and helped us slash our monthly food cost significantly! When I was a working mom…. ![]() 12/25/2023 0 Comments Psg roster espn![]() ![]() Veteran midfielder Marco Verratti could not believe what he saw when his young teammate, aged just 15, joined the first team for his first training session with them. After Vitinha arrived from Porto in the summer and had settled in following a few training sessions, he said to his agent Jorge Mendes, who also represents Zaire-Emery: "Who is this kid that you got in your team? He is an alien!" Vitinha was so impressed by the young box-to-box midfielder, just like anyone else who's played with him, played against him or even just watched him play. Born in March 2006, the kid from Paris is a product of the club's academy and arguably the leader of the next golden generation of PSG players. The France U19 international is a prodigy. Instead of passing the ball to Messi, he smashed an unstoppable shot across goal. He had come on 20 minutes earlier and, a bit like on Saturday, made a great run down the right flank before entering the box. A few days before the Toulouse game, Zaire-Emery made history by becoming the youngest scorer in PSG history at 16 years and 331 days old, converting against Montpellier (3-1) to seal the win for his team - not long after becoming the youngest PSG player to play for the first team. On the right wing close to the touchline, he ran the whole length of the pitch, escaping two slide tackles before squaring the ball on the edge of the box to Messi, who didn't do much with it. The guy responsible for this thrilling moment was 16-year-old midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery. Was it Lionel Messi? Neymar? Kylian Mbappe? No. The noise increased as this PSG player continued an impressive run, dribbling beyond several tackles. The fans were fixated on a Paris Saint-Germain player who'd grabbed their attention - something that didn't happen too much during the 2-1 win over Toulouse in which, once again, the Ligue 1 champions were average. On Saturday, the entire Parc des Princes crowd (attendance: 45,000) rose suddenly with a collective scream of excitement.

Only time will tell. Indeed, the bright turquoise soda, which I only recently learned is ostensibly “tropical lime”-flavored, eventually gained such a huge following that the brief and limited times in which it has been available in bottles - which notably included the spring of 2018 - have all been heralded as Huge, Huge News. In 2004, Mountain Dew Baja Blast launched at Taco Bell - and now, 15 years later, it has become an institution all its own. This isn’t the first time Mountain Dew has released a flavor exclusive to a specific fast food restaurant. The flavor does sound unique - peach sodas tend to be somewhat rarer than many other varieties - so even if you’re not a fizzy drink kind of person, it still might be worth trying at least once, even if it’s just for the novelty of it. Meanwhile, Redditor u/ATownAndrew posted a short review to the soda-centric subreddit r/ToFizzOrNotToFizz back in April, comparing it favorably to Peach Fanta. Taste-wise, it does appear to be on the sweeter side, according to early reviews the Impulsive Buy, which tried it back in May, thought it was a little “toothaching,” although the food review site also stated that the “shocking sweetness” did pair well with KFC’s saltier offerings. “To come together on an exclusive product - Sweet Lightning - is a thrill, and we look forward to delighting our customers' taste buds and pushing the envelope on creativity.” “Like KFC, MTN DEW is inspired by bold ideas and flavors, making this an authentic relationship from the start,” Nicole Portwood, vice president of marketing for Mountain Dew, said in a press release. Orange-yellow in color, it features flavors of peach and honey - and once it arrives, it’ll be part of the permanent menu at KFC. Like its name might imply, Sweet Lightning is a bright and punchy soda meant to “electrify” KCF’s drink lineup, according to a press release. Or, more accurately, almost here, since it won’t be available nationwide until July 1. By April, Sweet Lightning had been spotted in the wild - and now, it’s finally, officially here. ![]() News of Sweet Lightning first leaked a few months ago, with a handful of fan sites noting that a number of new Mountain Dew flavors - including Liberty Brew, which also became available recently - were on the way for 2019. Soda fountains at the classic fried chicken chain will begin to carry the drink nationwide starting on July 1, though, so if you’re based in the United States, odds are you’ll be able to get your hands on the new flavor soon. There’s a catch, though: It’ll only be available at KFC restaurants. But Mountain Dew people seem to have a particularly strong allegiance to their soda of choice - which means that, if you yourself are a Mountain Dew person, you’ll be pleased to know that a new Mountain Dew flavor, Sweet Lightning, has just arrived on the scene. ![]() 12/25/2023 0 Comments Soybean paste for ramen![]() ![]() Charred eggplant brings smokiness to the bowl.Roasted sweet potatoes make a good topping while also thickening up the broth and giving it a rich, creamy texture when combined with pureed roasted garlic.A soy-based tare made by simmering shiitake mushrooms and aromatics in soy sauce and mirin serves double-duty as a broth flavoring and a topping.A mix of charred and fresh vegetables along with dried and fresh mushrooms lends the basic broth rich, layered flavors.By pouring the hot broth, the remaining ingredients become warm again. Ramen should, if possible, always be prepared fresh & enjoyed immediately! But as long as it is not yet served, you can store the individual components separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Hint: Garnish the ramen soup with a splash of chili oil and toasted sesame seeds! □ Storage Instructions If you like, you can add some toasted sesame seeds and chili oil on top. Then top it with the tofu, shiitake, halved ramen eggs, and scallions.Arrange: Divide noodles into two ramen bowls.Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside. Add ramen noodles and cook them according to package instructions. Noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil.Simmer gently over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add miso paste and gochujang, sauté for another minute, stirring constantly. ![]() Ramen Broth: Heat sesame oil in a pot.In the same skillet, heat ½ tbsp oil, fry shiitake mushrooms for 5 minutes, season with ½ tbsp soy sauce, and also set aside. Season with ½ tbsp soy sauce and set aside. Cut tofu into cubes and fry for 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Tofu & Shiitake: Heat a skillet with ½ tbsp oil.Ramen Egg: Follow this recipe to prepare authentic Ramen eggs or use a regular soft-boiled egg.This visual step-by-step instruction will help you along the way – definitely recommended if you’re a cooking beginner! □ ![]() If you are looking for a sweeter and less intense taste, use white miso paste. I recommend to use red miso paste, which has a deep umami flavor and is perfect to flavor soups. It’s very healthy, rich in nutrients, and improves your digestion. Miso Paste is made from soybeans that have been fermented. Mirin can be replaced with 1 tbsp rice vinegar and 1 tsp sugar. If you don’t like spicy miso ramen, omit it altogether. It can be replace with sriracha/sambal oelek/doubanjiang.
