[CS Lounge] Fall Festivities and Friends!

Sounds yum! I think I have had it at some sort of diner or buffet. I have not had any sort of home made gourmet version though! Probably terrible for me, but it is tasty!

I am out of pie now so no coffee snack here. Probably for the best. I don’t need to be eating all that!

I should just make some fresh crusty rustic bread then I have toast if I want it. That recipe I use is so easy, esp in winter when I don’t mind having the oven on for a while.

Love, love LOVE homemade sausage gravy. Now, if only I could talk myself into doing scratch biscuits to go with it…

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add one pound of sausage, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned and cooked through.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a bowl, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet (you may need to add some butter or bacon fat, if there isn’t a lot). Whisk 2 Tablespoons of flour into the fat and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. While whisking, pour two cups of milk into the skillet and bring the gravy to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Stir in the sausage and season with ground black pepper. Serve over biscuits, toast, omelettes… Or just eat it with a spoon. :smiley:

I’m good for some snow. I got myself some ear muffs!

Actually, it has stopped snowing here for a bit. Someone turned off the lake effect machine. It needs wind to function correctly. We will get an old-fashioned snowstorm tomorrow night. Not very big one though. :snowflake:

Awww, your avatar has on the earmuffs!

I might have to do a transmog update for the holidays. We shall see. I usually try to be thematic.

Can we add a feature to the forums, so that people we’ve put on our ignore cannot respond to us?

It is getting old having the same forum sockpuppets troll every thread I make.

They’ve been doing it for thousands of comments, so it looks like forum moderation does not work unless they get flagged enough, which won’t happen with targeted trolling.

No, that would be a bad idea.

Are they actually trolling, or just presenting a different opinion?

Trying to mischaracterize what someone is or wants and then repeatedly doing so, while being told and explained by the other person otherwise, to elicit a reaction, would classify as such.

It is a heavy option, but the forums have repeatedly proven they need this. Feedback is nuked by too many others who want to flamebait.

I will agree that the forum does have a problem with the hecklers veto, but from what I see in that thread, the level of trolling was about equal from all parties.

This thread is not the place for the discussion really. The place to make suggestions is the General Discussion forum - and you know how that will go. It will turn into a Battletag war pretty fast.

I disagree with you though. Users do not, and should not be able to control what others post.

You control what you SEE. That is your right. You don’t control who posts, or where. That is not your right.

Otherwise people would start threads, ignore everyone who disagrees, and create an echo chamber. So, no.

What I do want is Ignore and all the other forum features to be a the account level so you won’t see those sockpuppets at all. They would already be ignored so would have no reason to hop and pretend.

First, this isn’t the place for this sort of discussion, and I think you know that. That being said…

If you are ignoring them, why do you care if they respond? You won’t see it.

So your solution would be to preemptively nuke their feedback?

Let’s turn this back to holiday outfits! I got my earmuffs! They do give off the princess Leia vibe though. :christmas_tree: :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

No, zero, this is one sided, I started that thread in good faith and gave feedback on what/whys of feedback on a system on how it feels subjectively as a player.

Some of us want to give feedback on game systems, and not be instantly put on defensive having a thread clobbered with “you’re just x not doing y” “lalala opinion doesn’t matter” type trolling.

Letting reply blocks be a feature would clean that up, as people wouldn’t be able to insert their flamebait routines.

They stink up the thread with the “their opinion doesn’t matter” type flamebait they repackage in various means, so the thread dies out.

You guys are sucking the fun out of this thread. :frowning_face: I guess I will just go and cook some porkchops for dinner.

Plods off.
