i ordered a “sausage in batter” and the woman i ordered it from gave me a look like i was the stupidest prick in the world and said “we only do them in batter”. i said “i’m just reading off the menu”. she rolled her eyes. the menu was next to us both, large backlit text, and it offered both “sausage” and “sausage in batter” and another type of sausage. between us in the food heater thing, in both our eyeline, were sausages both in and out of batter. i think about it a lot
(more…)So in this game Weird West, you can cut foliage. Like if you’ve got a machete or something you can cut away grass or bushes or whatever, and some of them drop stuff. I did a post about some of that stuff. A little while after ship, I got a bug assigned to me where sometimes, a player will be in a certain level, cutting up foliage, and suddenly they can’t interact with certain objects. Most objects. Including the travel zones that let you leave the level. So they’re just stuck forever.
(more…)More stuff I did on Weird West: the Cooking/Crafting system.
You can cook raw food over a fire or stove, use forges and tanning racks to craft weapon upgrades and armour, smelt ingots from nuggets or melt ingots back down into nuggets, etc. Arguably what I did for this ended up being a little overengineered versus the game’s requirements.

he goes “no, that will never happen. it’s impossible”
