Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@NintendoByNature - Okay, with a little over a week to spare, I’ve scoured google images for the sugar cream pie that most resembles my grandma’s sugar cream pie, and I’ve found it here:

https://tastykitchen.com/recipes/desserts/hoosier-sugar-cream...

Do with it what you will, but it sure looks the part. Sorry I couldn’t provide the actual recipe, but the first thing the author of this recipe writes is that she spent a lot of time working on it to match her great grandma’s sugar cream pie recipe which also was never written down and eventually lost to time. ( @Tyranexx , if you’re keeping score, this is the best I could do)

@HobbitGamer - I’d love a peanut festival! Huge fan. This time of year is peanut brittle season around here, and that’s one of my personal favorite uses of that magical little legume, the peanut.

@bimmy-lee sweetness, my friend. So is it served chilled huh? That recipe seems easy enough and something i may try over thanksgiving break. If i do, ill be sure to send you my thoughts.

@MarioLover92 Cool, I never owned an NES, I started with the Super NES. I think I should give Super Metroid a go sometime. I don't have the original cart at all, but I do have a Super NES mini that has the game. Really did enjoy Fusion, so might enjoy this given it's traditional 2D Metroid.

Awesome. Even though I owned Nintendo systems as a kid, my brother had the Genesis and I played Sonic 2 and 3 there. I even got a Game Gear and a Dreamcast just to play Sonic games. It felt weird seeing Sonic show up on Nintendo when Sega stopped making systems, I'm thankful it did. Having Sonic and Nintendo games in one place was great.

Still remember the Sonic Advance 2 trailer in the bonus section, had a song that never appeared in the final game. Those bonuses were fun.

@NintendoByNature - Yep, you serve it chilled, and you have to keep it in the fridge to store it. The recipe calls for a minimum of four hours chilled, but I’d make it the night before. It’s a peasant pie for sure, simple to whip up with ordinary ingredients. It was my favorite, but my grandma just made it as filler for the pie table to complement her pumpkin and berry pies.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy what's pushsquare ?

I'm loving this weather! It's deliciously cold and the rain makes it so much better.

@Ninfan It's where we tell kids PlayStation fans go, but in reality, we just put them down.

What’s a nintenda lif? I wen to my email and sawthem? Nobody tell me.

That’s funny right there.

@bimmy-lee Try some Cajun brittle! It has just enough heat to blend well with the sweetness

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I own a ps4, and use Pushsquare more than NL, I just don't comment on the former because I was never active there, whereas I used to be here. Maybe if we all learn to take a joke and we'll all have a lot more fun

Also; I used to moderate both websites for a time, I still have some nudes of Alex covered in salad cream laying somewhere around here.

@HobbitGamer - Sounds delightful! I’ve never seen or heard of it, but I’m not surprised. I garontee they use some cayenne pepper in Cajun brittle, and it probably also has ridges.

@Danksparce - The pics are covered in salad cream, or Alex is covered in salad cream??? I just want to clarify because it would make a big difference in overall picture quality.

Uhh, yeah I guess. I use mine for music production, using Reason 10, which is a pretty heavy program, but it works really well.

It's obviously not intended to be a gaming laptop (or, in fact, a music production laptop per sé), so like Nestalgia says, no Gears or Forza, but it's a really nice laptop, and indeed works wonderfully as a LAP-top because of its light weight. Battery life is also insane.

I've played a ton of Dwarf Fortress on it too, and even that game seems to work just fine on it. So... That's saying something!!

The biggest downside, besides its slightly above average cost, is that there's only one USB drive, but one can circumvent that if need be. The docking station is a blatant cash grab though, it's ridiculous.

@bimmy-lee ...both?

@HobbitGamer Have you tried a pecan praline? They are pretty popular in the New Orleans area, but were always a bit sweet for my taste. Like eating pure sugar. Some people swear by them though.

@Danksparce - I see. I should have considered that option, it makes sense. These pics are starting to sound like a multimedia art installation where we’re to look past the nudity to see the real statement being made about salad cream.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Oh, bless your heart, my child, but I was already WAY past it and done with it, so good as your intentions were, I was already a wee bit ahead of you. Appreciated nonetheless...

On a side note: the joke about Push Square actually WAS funny. You just need to understand the tone we use here. Most of the time, it's only ever semi-serious, so you shouldn't read to much into it. Causes all kinds of unnecessary discussions, as we've already been witness to recently...

@bimmy-lee Haha, quite the entertaining story and image. Now fast-forward to 2019 and try and explain to current gen gamers that you ACTUALLY had fun playing a game that isn't running at an obligatory 60fps...

@bimmy-lee And the main question would then be: "but was it ranch?"

@Sunsy I started with Super NES, as well. My dad owned it since Christmas 1991. He had quite a few games for it, though he wasn't into Zelda or Metroid. He had Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, F-Zero, the Donkey Kong Country series, and even a few sports games like NHL 94, so I grew up playing all of those. I wasn't good at the sports games, which is fine because I'm not a big fan of them anyway. I do like some Mario sports games though!

Sadly I never had a Sega console growing up, back when they were making consoles - the first non-Nintendo console I had was the PlayStation 2. I always wanted to play Sonic though, so I had to wait until Sonic Adventure 2 Battle became a thing. I had to have it. I remember my dad telling me, "no, that's on Sega." I was like, "I'm serious. That's a GameCube game. I saw the commercials and everything!" I'm certainly glad Sonic games came on Nintendo platforms. Yeah it did feel a bit strange at the time, but man, was it satisfying to see.

Yeah, I highly recommend Super Metroid. One of the best games ever made.

@ThanosReXXX - The dressing in the pictures is almost assuredly ranch or a similar variety. A vinaigrette is out of the question. That would be absurd. It needs to have the consistency and color of ranch to cover just enough skin to make it art. Now, the top layer of dressing, the one confirmed spilled all over the pics should be something fairly clear and runny, like a light poppyseed or vinaigrette so we can still see the pics to look past the nudity to see the real statement being made about salad cream.

@bimmy-lee I don't think I'm fairly sure that I don't want to be imagining something fairly clear and runny being spilled all over pictures of people...
