  • My dad worked for a company that made beef flavors and a reactor blew up and took out a 20-foot cinderblock wall. The reactor in this story is a very large pressure cooker and the cause of the explosion was a clogged pressure valve. The guy in the room was okay all things considered. Safety gear kept him safe. The whole place smelled like exploded meat for a long time.

    spoiler

    I dont want to wake the old man up to confirm but I think the guy in the room with the reactor left an outline on the floor amongst the spatter. Not unlike the acquaintance of Mr. Bean who went back in the apartment for his hat as Mr. Bean was painting his apartment with a gallon of paint and a firecracker.

    Anyways glad you’re OK and I hope that soup smelled good enough to paint your walls with.

    I want to GIT GUD but I’m not the kind of person who can dodge and parry while managing a stamina bar. ER and DS games look awesome but I really can’t do much sightseeing in them. I tried Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 3, and Elden Ring and in all of them I hit a wall against the first miniboss who I should be learning to parry on. I’ve always leaned toward dodging taking priority before parrying and a stamina bar limits that.

    I recently played through Ghost of Tsushima and parried a thousand cuts. The game doesn’t have stamina though. I understand stamina as a game mechanic but find all it adds is tedium. There’s what I believe to be some good games hiding behind a stamina bar. I can enjoy the games until the stamina bar runs out and then I’ll be thinking about enjoying a different game.
