Tbh it really doesn't bother me that Mario Kart and Splatoon doesn't have voice chat.

They really need to make some sort of party chat system though.

Most of Mario Kart doesn't really require chat, but everytime I play Renegade Roundup in Mario Kart I think "This mode would be HUGE if we could talk to teammates and actually strategize."

It doesn't "require" anything. Mario Kart is about owning people and hurling friendly abuse, I think voice chat would be a great feature for it.

Motherfuckers be freaking out when their pizza hasn't arrived 5 minutes after phoning Dominos because they think it's been 3 hours and can't string together a coherent conversation with each other because they keep forgetting how they started each sentence halfway through saying it...but still somehow think that getting in a 2 ton metal cage and flying down the road at 60km+ is just fine.

I don't even competently trust myself to go and get ice cream and hand over money to the cashier when high.

If that's their stance, then they need to emphasize their parental controls and make it so that you can't use online multiplayer in those games without a parental password or something if the feature is on.

Don't xbox/playstation have that feature? Which doesn't work, and everyone still goes on and on with various gay slurs and fucked your mum jokes...

Then dont let the kids play online. Its profanity. They will be exposed to it eventually.

But this is getting away from why nintendo doesn't want to do it. It's not really about protecting society, it's about protecting their own image. They want to maintain the squeeky clean image that makes them appealing to everyone, not just gamers.

I'm a hair short of being a rabid irrational nintendo fanboy but their online play is fucking terrible in every sense. I partly wonder if that's because they don't want to be branded for more "serious" gamers and lose their casual status, but that could just be the fanboy in me talking. For whatever reason their online platform still royally sucks.

So it costs 20 rupees to play his bowling game. For this amount he's got to go set up some pins and then build two giant snowballs for you to use. Probably like an hours hard work at the very least.

All you have to do is roll this giant snowball down the hill and its almost impossible to mess up. And then he gives you prize of 300 rupees for a strike. 100 for a spare. And even if you get as few as 7 pins out of 10 he'll refund you the entire entry fee.

It's not like he's rolling in cash either. Motherfucker lives in a log cabin in bumfuck idaho. What's his deal? Is he just lonely? Retired tycoon just looking for friends?

Those ones where you have to spend 15 minutes creeping after a character who walks slower than a 90 year old with rheumatoid arthritis and stops every 10 seconds to examine something or turn around suddenly. There's rarely any skill involved other than learning the exact pattern of this entire tedious mission and all the times the character will spot you.

Fuck these missions.

What's the downside?

Becoming some kind of macabre celebrity super villain is exactly what these lowlifes want, so the constant press coverage and 24/7 hot takes into their mysterious little lives and brains probably encourages them.

I'm not saying that's a complete argument for why we shouldn't, but it's certainly playing into the goal these kinds of people want and the significance it grants them.

It's a little odd that so many of their detractors have just up-and-died in non-natural ways.

This could very easily just be confirmation bias, though. Can you imagine any two people who know more people and have more political enemies than these two? You could probably draw up any unlikely type of person and the clintons would know 200 of them. "It's suspicious that so many of the Clinton's supporters are child molestors", works similarly.

It's blowing me away as a piece of hardware. Sure, I know it's not as graphically powerful as the PS4, but the amount of UX thought that's gone into the hardware is really impressive. It's nifty, and clearly they were thinking about how to make this fun for anyone rather than thinking about making it superior for a small crowd of enthusiasts.

I can't remember the last time I had this much fun playing a video game and all I'm doing is running around collecting mushrooms in Zelda.

Who else is enjoying their switch?

Seriously bbq sauce and hot sauce is better

I wasn't joking

It wasn't a shit post

Why don't you care

It's good to have a flavored hot sauce like habernero

Then you just mix it with the bbq sauce.

...

I'm not above it but sometimes I feel like bbq and hot sauce overwhelms a dish and really here I was wanting to see how the patty and shiitake would turn out.

I have a whole lot of hot sauce in my cupboard though. Chipotle, el yucateco, frank's, and some goddamn carolina reaper death sauce I never use except to scare people.

Understand TC I know your cooking 3 burgurs in a home, so ill cut you some slack.

Looks like a greasy mess, I'd eat it, but itd be a mess, buns are burnt as well. you've got talent TC, I think your going to refine and make killer burgurs, just keep practicing, for example, you needed to brown the onions more, you only brought about half the flavor those onions can put out, not sure about those mushrooms, but you also want to cook them till a mid brown color. The cheese looks perfect.

The meat is the biggest issue. Just tons of grease, which does add a lot of flavor, but I can see your burgur are dripping pretty hard in that picture, that tells me those burgurs are going to get real sloppy, unless maybe a tooth pick holds them together. Also go smaller with a burger, people obsesse over the size of their patties, but then again I hardly ever see them cook burgers. I've found that around 3.5 ounces is the perfect size for a Pattie, any bigger and your going for some form of a speciality.

3/5 would eat.

Thanks for the advice. Just on my methods here -

1. I toasted the buns in the pan which had leftover patty fat in it, which might be why they burnt a little much on the edges
2. You're right about the onions, although this was a timing problem, I had to evacuate in time for the burgers. I often struggle with guessing how long onions take to fry up properly.
3. Mushroom were basically just a "shit, we have shiitake mushrooms in the fridge that are nearly passed their best, better use them". In the end they were pretty lost in the mix, but the nutty quality was kinda nice.
4. I sliced the cheese very thin and then placed on top of the flipped pattie (in the pan) before covering with a lid and steaming for around 30 seconds to melt it. This worked really well tbh, I used to stick them in the oven but they'd sometimes dry out too much.
5. I honestly didn't feel much of a grease issue. Maybe it's because I toasted the buns, or because I rested the patties before putting them on the buns, or maybe I just like greasy burgers. How would you do them to be less greasy? I brushed them with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper just before putting them on a griddle pan.

Makes juicy burgers.

Puts them on paper towels.

Do they have plates in Britain or not?

I just wanted to put them on the cutting board to build the burger, but I realised the board had been used before to cut up raw mushrooms so I put down the paper towel to improvise. I did serve on plates.
