    Do You Blog?

    I often find blogs linked by blogs I already follow, or through blog aggregators.

    Keeping track of combat length (for posterity)

    Spreadsheet updated, by the way. Tough encounters, recently, it seems. My DDE game next week should be another tough one, and then my home game the following Saturday should be a very different beast.

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    Well, I hadn't messed much with asian cuisine in the past--I just knew what I liked. And, I didn't have the time to go to Lunar New Year festivities like I like to do most years, so I thought it'd be fun to give it a try. And it's mostly not too tough, as long as you have a few recipes as...

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    I've only seen it in Chinese grocery stores. When I went to the Chinese grocery store to get chinese sausage (I originally bought it for a Lunar New Year dinner thing I was co-cooking), I asked someone who worked there where I could find the chinese sausage. "Aisle 6, I was told." At aisle 6...

    French Onion Dip... that's brave of you. I'd be afraid of the other seasonings (especially the extra salt) in there. If you start something for EN World cooks, you have to have to make sure that barbecue talk gets separated by region.

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    I do cook, though I generally have to make the time for it. I also like to watch cooking videos and shows or read cooking articles or read other foodie blogs with some frequency. James Beard awards came out recently, which is always interesting to follow. When I slow cook big meat hunks, I tend...

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    Two of the three places were local-recommended. Pericos was a party location chosen by locals, and Mi Tierra was said to be "good though not as good as Geunther's" (didn't have time to make it out to Geunther's). The lady at the hotel recommended another Tex-Mex place on the Riverwalk, though I...

    It's Not the GM's Job to Make Sure People Have Fun

    Seems to me that the GM should try to make the game fun. Also, the players should try to make the game fun, too. If a player is making the game less fun for everyone, he should change his style or be asked to leave, as he's clearly not a fit for the group.

    A couple of recent issues

    Yes, I know that. ;) But when I originally posted the issue, I don't think those buttons were there. Morrus was in the middle of changing the layout of a lot of stuff. And, because of that, at the time, I was getting in the habit of going to Forum Jump for a lot of my navigation. It has been a...

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    That's what I suspected, but I've read that San Antonio is known for great tex-mex--if the average quality meat is a lower quality, that seems to be a misrepresentation. Sure, San Antonio may have high-end great restaurants, but most cities have that. Houston, Dallas, and Austin have better...

    I've tried clearing caches, and it exists for me on multiple browsers on multiple computers. Screenshot added to clarify which link is wrong:

    A couple of recent issues

    Nono, after you click on Forum Jump, click on "Forums" in the drop-down menu. The problem isn't with the drop-down menu, but where clicking on "Forums" will take you.

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    Hah, the TC love makes sense now! I'd like to clarify, when I say that San Antonio tex-mex is fatty, I don't mean it's more moist necessarily. There are large, unchewable pieces of fat in the meat, or it's a lower quality meat. For example, there's at least one restaurant in Houston that...

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    Every place I went to seemed to have good tortillas (Naked Iguana less so), and their salsa was a good level of spice. Austin tex-mex is a bit too hot, but San Antonio tex-mex is similar to Houston tex-mex in spiciness, which is perfect for me (not that I hold excessive spiciness against a...

    Do You Blog?

    Yes, I do. Though, it's not really a gaming blog. I have a gaming blog on EN World I haven't used in forever, though. If have two other blogs that I post things to: one about Economics, and related issues, and the other about random neat/cool/tech things I like.

    Huh, that's interesting. Would you say that TC is better than the average sit-down "real" (not fast food) restaurant? Both in and out of San Antonio?
