Boo!



If you look closely at the art on this card, you can see why the dude is running away.

Also, I've totally killed myself with this card before.

I'm from Australia. Very happy sans civilian guns.

At the moment it's reasonable. I'm using the server browser to find matches, and there's always 30+ open games (not counting 4/4 matches). Last Stand is basically dead though, and worth noting that the game is really cheap right now so that might be inflating the user count.

The userbase is moderately divided: there's a lot of folks who only really play private games because randoms can be unreliable, but there's also a pub scene.

I stopped playing Overwatch for about a week (got really into vermintide for a while), and since I started again, each of the five instances I've been placed into a server with eleven other people (I refuse to describe these as games) there's been a three-or-four-man group who have inevitably had two of their number play Hanzo and Widowmaker, with the last, who waits, as though to fill in the gaps of the remaining composition, sees that there's no healer and invariably goes Zenyatta. The game has been rendered just about unplayable seemingly without any actual change in mechanics, just dickheads playing meme strategies without apparently ever getting sick of being curbstomped.

So I managed to make a base on the moon, got it self-sufficient abusing the fuel condenser/trade station loop, and set out to make a new base on a planet that actually had... things on it. However, I can't seem to make a new platform from my lander by clicking it anymore; it worked fine on the moon, but now I've been to several planets and can't seem to establish a new base on any of them.

I've considered it might be thinking that the node on my lander is 'occupied' by its former connection with the base node of my moonbase, so I'm currently waiting for a launch window to the moon from the tundra world I most recently attempted to colonise, so I can try re-establishing and then manually removing the link to the lander there. Failing that, my next step is to build a new vehicle bay and a new lander, see if that'll do it.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

EDIT: Making a new lander worked.

Roadhog is what you'd get if you taped 3 Torbjorns together.

My preferred description is two 76s taped to a McCree.

Bastion when played well doesn't necessarily show up where you expect him; he wants to show up in different places every time and require resources to deal with and coordination for them every single time he shows up. Jumping around corners, shifting into turret in midair, there's much more to bastion than sitting at a single vantage point and m1ing until you're peeked to death.

Friends, I am looking for a reasonably simple but tasty and filling couscous dish. I don't normally cook couscous, but I bought a box of it and I need ideas. I'm trying to feed a very hungry man in addition to my more humble self, so filling recipes are the goal. I usually cook without meat but lately I've started cooking some chicken once a week or so, so that's an option. Any suggestions?

Basic couscous treatment is (assuming instant couscous) equal volumes of couscous and boiling water, a knob of butter or glug of olive oil, salt and spices (optional). Tailor the spices to whatever you're serving with it. Once you've made your couscous, you can treat it sort of like cooked rice or pasta, any granular carbohydrate like that, serve it with a salad and some kind of protein - chicken, in your case, i guess, or some kind of bean dish maybe?
You can also mix things into it in a sort of grain salad analogue; diced onion and capsicum (bell pepper), maybe some peas or corn, whatever you like. Raisins or other small, dried fruit are appropriate to the cuisine, too, though I'm not a fan.
The most traditional method is to serve it with a stew kinda dealie; a tagine, typically. You can make a quite nice vegetable tagine with tomatoes and orange vegetables (pumpkin, squash, sweet potato) and cumin, cinnamon, coriander, etc. You could also make it with chicken; there are loads of different tagines out there.

tzeentch would be starved into non-existence since orks don't care about schemes.
This is a filthy lie, everybody knows that Orks are brutally cunning.
nah, they're cunningly brutal, zog ya

Makes me think there should be a new building which is the opposite of the offworld launch facility, where you call in resource transports from off map at a large expense. Might be worth it in such cases.

I mean, I think that's what the infinite-water-you-can-buy-despite-there-being-no-production represents anyway?

Address it directly; point out his habit of turning conversations to politics, and inform him that every time he does so from thereon, you'll exit the conversation. The somewhat difficult part of that is sticking to it.

Speaking of malt, I just picked up some Goya-brand Malta today. I was turned off by my mother saying it's "just non-alcoholic beer", which it's sorta not(it's the stuff beer is made of though). So, it's been sitting on the counter all day. Now, I really hate the smell of beer, let alone the taste, but I'm looking it up and various sources have said it smells like soy sauce and tastes like caramel or bran cereal. So... does anyone here have any opinion on what it tastes like. I'd rather not just toss it, since I'm still upset from losing a bag of groceries earlier today.

If it's not been hopped, it likely tastes very little like most beer; little to none of the bitterness involved.
