I’m not one of these backseat elitist speadsheet players
As opposed to who?
Every single one of these ‘zerker’ players who just load up those ‘meta’ builds and think that makes them good players. Everybody knows that builds dont mean anything in this game, it’s all about skill.
I can outdps even the best so called ‘good’ meta player with my cleric’s guardian simply by staying alive. rlly smh why can’t ppl learn.
Now that’s something we can agree on!
But heh we know who to blame for the advocation of boring comps and brain dead meta

Steak with cheese? Heretic! That is a waste of both!
My dear Zelyhn…. You have no idea :-)
It’s true, I don’t!
So enlighten me please: what sort of goat cheese and what kind of steak + what condiments?
Ok my friend, here we go:
Take a Rib Eye steak, well marbled. (If you can get it dry aged, go for it) Season steak with pepper and other spices (NOT salt though), throw it on the grill. Wait a couple of minutes to flip so it’s nice and rare (Juices should be flowing liberally out of the steak when you push it down with your tongs). When you take the steak off the grill, put your finishing salt on it. (That’s going to be different from regular table salt, so pay attention to that) Let it set for a minute or two, and put it on a bed of fresh arugula. Take some white truffle oil and drizzle it on the steak liberally. At that time, slice a piece of the steak off and add a portion of your goat cheese (Where are you located btw? Just go to a natural market (I don’t know what you would call them in EU, but we’ve got Whole Foods here in the States)) to that sliced off piece of steak. You do not want to put the whole bit of goat cheese on the steak at once, as it would cool down the steak too much.
The flavors will blow your mind. The smokey, savory flavor of the steak will combine with the spice of the black pepper, and the finishing salt will pull all the spices into the steak (That’s why you want to wait until you’re finished cooking it to put it on) and accentuate the natural flavoring, while the musty truffle oil will compliment the tastes and the tangy, almost sweet, note of the goat cheese will compliment all the flavors together.
Trust me on that one

Hm nice, thanks for the detailed explanations!
I am French, so I am naturally fairly experienced with cooking ^^ I would still need to know what sort of goat cheese you use for this delicious recipe

Crottin de Chavignol would probably be your best bet. You’re going for tang with a slight undertones of sweet.
Ok thanks, I’ll try this asap

This also works well with a filet. (I prefer using the butt of the filet, as it’s cheaper and has just a bit more marbling than the filet itself)
You can also, instead of goat cheese, sous vide the filet (rare of course, I forget the exact temp) in a vacuumed sealed bag with rosemary, sage, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and finishing salt at the end (like the previous steak recipe), put it on a bed of arugula, and put freshly sliced Parmigiano-Reggiano (sliced paper thin of course) on top, THEN drizzle your white truffle oil on it.
That’ll blow your mind as well.
I wanted to tell everyone my story and why I’m still here, but I guess I should be talking about food instead

i was writing one up myself. and strangely it involves food too
What I like about the living story is that not all dialogues are voice acted, this way you can often click fast through the text pop up and thereby avoid the pain of watching characters you completely dislike go through telegraphed adventures with no taste
Clicking on text is fun!

OP approved.
Agreed, it’s not just the story that needs work, the presentation could be much better. See: Any Elder Scrolls/Fallout game (ESO/Skyrim, not so much…), where the NPCs actually make you feel.

I actually liked how the story and presentation looked in chapter 1&2 of LS season 2. But it has slightly deteriorated after that.
Anyway I still prefer what we got with season 2 to a lot of season 1. There moving into the right direction with that. At least for me.
Edit: Oh and if you want to see how good story representation/immersion looks in an MMORPG, check out SWTOR.
you may keep them to rear new and interesting variants in your basement.
That hate on the feature patch and GW2 in general. Stop being grumpy!
Oh we tried! But the kept throwing crap at us to make sure we stay veeery grumpy!
Apparently their talented marketing team developed a thesis stating that grumpy players are much more likely to buy gems and talk about the game to their friends
