Sear it in oil. Once the crust is formed you can ease off the heat, add the butter (garlic and herbs too, if you want) once it’s safe, and baste. Basting might cause it to carry over cook a bit more, so be conservative with the core temp.

Sometimes you just get into a bitchslappin’ kind of groove.

You used too much heat. I try to be careful but occasionally fuck up the same way.

Here’s why it’s bullshit: it still has Teflon (or whatever). You still can’t use metal utensils, because goodbye nonstick layer. You still can’t get it searingly hot. The uneven surface could make cleaning more complicated. Any Teflon-like nonstick will accumulate wear and tear and thermal expansion stress until it cracks, peels or stops being nonstick, all of which are good reasons to throw it away for ergonomic and (probably) health reasons. Being surrounded by stainless or whatever is going to change none of that.

I would suggest just getting one of each “major kind of pan” - nonstick and either cast iron or stainless will let you do most things. Getting all three doesn’t need to break the bank either. Then you can save the nonstick for the stuff that really needs it, give everything else the heat and surface it deserves.

Serious question? The principle is called “opportunity cost”. Chilling out and touching grass is free - but you could also have spent that time working, producing stuff, learning or whatever. You have “lost out” on a potential benefit due to exactly how that time was spent.

The pro Russia part does.

Roger Waters put a damper on my enjoyment of Pink Floyd.

So they’re ripping off the game that ripped them off. The industry is in an absolute state.

Wow, imagine calling out a fucker like that, how dare you.

There are some beautiful argument chains.

Doubt.

GOG if available, no DRM and while I think they do have a launcher, I don’t think it’s required. I could be wrong…

Steam does tend to be annoying about logging in and out, not necessarily letting you choose to update stuff, it has DRM and requires internet (or will at least be annoying about it).

GOG is more like, gosh, downloading some software and then running it. Without it doing 11 kinds of random shit on you.

Yeah, well, no fucking shit, what’d they think was the point of the campaign?

These guys…

Hated every kind, had some actually great ones in Greece, now I can sorta kinda get behind black olives. Greens are still a bit too bitter for my preference.

Yeah, OK, that’s not bloody terrifying or anything.

N64 is my favorite console of all time, but yeah, the controller is truly batshit insane. I even had a game that intended you to hold the left and right… prongs instead of center right. In a shocking twist, it was… still pretty awkward.

I do like PS5 controllers - mostly play N64 games on them, never even owned a PS. Used a PS4 controller before that.

Nah. The pattern is cool as hell though.

So don’t?

Then what’s your counter?

Arguably best way to counter misinformation is non-platforming it. Mere provable facts and impeccable logic have a dogshit success rate.

Dpad for games that were intended for dpad, analog if the game was intended for analog.

Analog for dpad games feels awkward in my experience, and dpad for analog games is not even an option.
