  • Why not search for a recipe in french and just use a translation tool? It should be plenty fine for a recipe. Here is one I found just searching recette d’aligot which is french for aligot recipe:

    https://www.aligot.info/recette-aligot-traditionnel.html

    If you find a few of them you should be able to piece together the actual recipe if there are translation issues.

    Recipe translation below:

    The ingredients

    1200g of peeled potatoes, 450g of fresh volume, 240g of thick (whole) fresh cream, 3 garlic cloves, Salt, pepper

    Aligot recipe steps

    Peel and wash the potatoes. Peel the garlic cloves and cut them in half. Launch cooking in the water (departure cold salted water) of the potatoes with the garlic cloves. Count about 20 minutes of cooking from boiling (increase if necessary, the potatoes should be well cooked for puree).

    During cooking, cut the fresh volume into strips or small dice (you can also grate it). It should be ready when the potatoes have just finished cooking.

    When the potatoes are cooked, take them out of the water and remove the garlic cloves. Put the puree to the puree press or to the vegetable mill to obtain a fine puree.

    Add the hot cream and add it with a wooden spoon to the puree. On the very low fire, then continue by adding the fresh volume and stirring vigorously. The idea is not to cook but to melt the volume, if your preparation is hot enough, work it out of the heat.

    After a while (when you start to feel your arms more) the puree must go to spin, that’s when it is ready.

    Season with salt and pepper to your liking, stirring again and serve.




  • most cultures with a sun would probably have a 24 hour day based on them using circular sun dials

    The use of 24 (really its 2 12 part divisions of day and night) is arbitrary. They could really use any numbering system.

    The reason we use 12 and 60 is from the babylonians. We think they used base 12 and 60 because of body part counting. Each digit of the hand minus the thumb is divided into 3 parts. That gives you 12 then each finger on the opposite hand gives you 5 of each 12 count giving you base 60. If an alien has different parts, which they will, they wouldn’t necessarily use the same numbers.









  • Yeah, that argument falls apart when henry just randomly moves the pick even though you didn’t move the controller. That’s the portion that I get pissed off at. Fine that he has shit skills, fine that the game has to make it artificially harder for RP. But don’t make me fail at something just because the game doesn’t want me to complete it yet. Just make it not pickable. When something says “easy” it should be actually easy if you know the patterns or method of doing said thing. Like how combat is easier once you realize you can’t spam swing your sword. There is no such thing for lockpicking. It’s just “fuck you gamer, grind it out like a chump” or break tons of picks trying to get the one fiddly rng location to unlock the lock.

    Edit: Also he picks locks in the first game doesn’t he? So he just forgets how locks work because of his fall? Bad design imo but a great game other than that one system.



  • I never played the first one but i’m a fan of challenging games. From what i’ve read after getting my ass beaten by single random bandits, the combat is better and more fluid than the first game. Fewer locked in animations is what i gather is the biggest change.

    The one thing you really have to get in your brain is do not spam attacks. You will die. Your stamina is like armor in that the lower your stamina the more it hurts to be hit.

    Like i said, once it clicks it’s great but boy oh boy was it frustrating to learn.
