People's General is currently on sale at GOG:
https://www.gog.com/en/game/peoples_general
and since my old copy is currently collecting dust somewhere in my parents attic AFAIK, I'm considering re-buying it. Just wanted to ask first if there's issues with it on Windows 11 or not.
I've played DAI before on console and recently double dipped to play on PC with mods. Usually I'd consult a guide or sort nexus mods by popularity, but from my research the switch to Frosty Mod Manager means that lots of older and popular mods no longer work and guides are also often years old.
Bottom line I am looking for which ones actually still work amongst those that are good.
My wife is allergic to chicken eggs and no other types of eggs are available to buy in our area. She has started raising our own quails for their eggs for some years, but we always need to give them away in winter, since it's too cold outside for them and I am terribly allergic to them, so we cannot keep them inside. Basically we are always cooking food requiring eggs in the summer months only.
Anyways I've been wondering if it would be possible to store some of the eggs we get in summer in the freezer to use in winter or not? If so: In which form? The eggs themselves or crack them open and store the contents in a plastic container?
I've played DA2 before ages ago, but never the DLC until I picked up the Ultimate Edition on Steam recently.
Anyway I can't beat Corypheus even though I play on normal. The gist of it is that the rotating elemental attack kills my party members every time. One or two ways:
I try to move the entire party around disabling the statues. Works the first time he does it, but the 2nd time when the obstacles inevitable slow them down too much as their pathfinding sucks too much to keep up.
I move my party members as far as possible into a nook with a statue and use "hold". For some reason they don't stay on hold and follow my Hawke after a while, flames kill them first time around already.
Why don't they stay in method 2? What else can I do?
I recently double-dipped on Dishonored 1, after having played it only on my now defunct PS3 over a decade ago thus far.
Since I now own it on PC, question: Any good mods to use?
And having to move that dialogue wheel pointer left or right still doesn't get any easier.
Currently in my first modded run of the ME trilogy. Playing ME1 and modding 2&3 ATM. Was planning to use:
Citadel Epilogue Mod Full, the happy ending mod and starchild be gone all together as explained in the modding guide.
Thing is the Lancer has always been my go to weapon for Adept or Engineer runs. Does the mod give you a way to get it earlier or would I be locked out if using the full version? If so is there another mod that changes it's placement? Could I use the trilogy save editor to give it to me without something glitching out?
Ever since we started making our own ice cream, we only cooked when making Sorbets, whereas all our ice cream recipes were no cook ones.
We now plan on making some ice cream recipes that do require cooking at about 45 Celcius to dissolve ingredients. So we are looking for some "wish I had known this earlier" methods to either prevent skin forming on the milk, while the ice cream is cooling down or how to deal with it in the most hassle free way.

Playing my PS3 copy isn't practical any more, so I'm considering getting the PC version on it's deep discount. But small price aside, I'm not interested if getting it to run is as tricky as DAO. I don't hate DA2 obviously, but it's not worth the same effort as DAO.
After the responses I got to my double-dip post, I decided to go ahead with and bought the PC version of DAI.
Anyway I decided to a replay of both DAO and DAI and would like to know what's the best way to mod them is nowadays. I've not touched DAO in over half a decade and never played DAI on PC.
I upgraded my sound system a year ago, but so far didn't play many games that really make use of it. Any Soulslikes besides those three that feature spatial sound?
I own the DAI on the Xbox, not having had a PC capable of running it when it was released. Now I do and DAI on a deep discount at Steam. Would it be worth to double-dip to be able to play with mods for my next replay?
Don't bother convincing me to double-dip on DAO, that one I already own on both systems.
I own the Mass Effect LE on the Xbox, not having had a PC capable of running it when it was released. Now I do and the LE is on a deep discount at Steam. Would it be worth to double-dip to be able to play with mods for my next replay?
I own SR3 on the Xbox, not having had a PC capable of running it back then. And with both The Full Package and the Remaster currently deeply discounted on GOG, I'm considering double dipping.
Usually I'd go for the remaster, but I read quite some negative stuff about it and presumably The Full Package has more mods. Which one is the one to get ATM?
I'd like to make an ice cream or sorbet with nuts. However I do not like all the work that goes into peeling and blending them. So I was hoping I could use this to skip that part:

I showed it to an AI and it said, that simply adding 600ml milk or milk and some cream and sugar would turn it into something that would have just the right ratio of sugar, liquid, fat, etc to make an Almond Gelato. Obviously I do not want to just take an AIs word for it, so I was hoping to get some feedback here. Linking autotranslated stuff works sketchy, so I'm linking the Swedish original.
My wife is allergic to chicken eggs, so ever since starting to make ice cream at home we could never use recipes calling for eggs. Fortunately she is not allergic to quail eggs and we got a few quail hens this summer.
Anyway since we are using a Ninja Creami, not a traditional ice cream maker, calculating the volume of the ingredients is important. We know an average quail egg is about 10-11 metric millilitres, but how much volume would those expand to when frothing them before mixing them with sugar, cream and milk?
We make our ice cream in batches, so we are planning to use 20-25 eggs in case that makes a difference.
I was looking for a recipe using whole eggs not just egg yolk and was recommended "Ben and Jerry’s French Vanilla Ice Cream" found here:
https://justbrowsingopl.wordpress.com/2016/09/26/ben-and-jerrys-french-vanilla-ice-cream/
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy or whipping cream
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Makes 1 quart
Converted to metric it's supposed to make 946.353ml, so making double the amount and rounding a bit up after converting the ingredients to metric, would make just a bit less than 3 deluxe pints.
What puzzles me though is that the author later in the article mentions that:
"Okay, so first off, I quadrupled this recipe so I could use my gallon ice cream maker to its full capacity. After freezing it though, I think next time I will only need to triple the recipe to make a gallon." One US gallon being 4 US quarts, I wonder why he'd need to make only triple the recipe to reach a gallon? Which leads me to wonder whether it would expand too much in the freezer or something to divide double the amount between 3 deluxe pints.
Am I overthinking things, missing something, etc or will it indeed expand so much that filling a deluxe pint to just under 700ml would be too much?
Two additional questions:
Even keeping in mind that egg white is 90% water and thus two eggs add about 54ml more liquid, the recipe seems to have a very high fat content. Since they don't sell "half and half" here in Europe, which is often recommended to use instead of whipping cream for Ninja Creami recipes, I was considering just flipping the amounts of milk and cream used instead. 2 cups milk, one cup full fat cream. Comments on that?
Similarly I'd like to use less sugar. Only 2/3rds the amount of the recipe. Do I need to add anything to compensate regarding creamyness, freezing temperature, etc or will it just be less sweet, which would be the general idea?
The Veterans upgrade is currently on sale and googling the matter mostly results in answers whether it's worth buying for newcomers. Anyway besides the question in general, there's also some specifics I'd like to ask:
I've disabled the auto-update for Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries when installing it, so that updates don't break my mods.
Nonetheless the new update still shows as "available updates" in the download list. It doesn't start downloading, but I can't find a way to get rid of it either. Alredy tried exiting and restarting the client, still there. I don't want to be stuck with it forever and perhaps activate it by accident some time.
