I wish more recipes were just like “not too little, not too much.” Like thanks recipe, I now know exactly how much vanilla extract to add to my cookie dough.
Baking is where you experiment and figure things out dipshit. Different houses bake differently, your tastes are different etc. Plus it's vanilla extract its incredibly strong use your head
>Baking is where you experiment and figure things out dipshit.
you shitting me right? baking is the hardest for experimentation since you cant modify it midway. want to experiment? make fricking gumbo
Lmao, you fricking idiot.
The ambient temperature in a given kitchen, shit the floor of your apartment or if you have a basement below your kitchen or not are all things that will shift a recipe for baking. It'll determine whether your yeast ferments properly, or whether or not you need to add more liquid to a bread dough.
If your grandmother baked in a century home with a basement below her kitchen in a subtropical climate then her recipes are not going to turn out well in your 3rd floor walk-up in a continental climate. Thus the need to experiment.
It's why baking is so difficult. It has nothing to do with "omegaLUL you can't change the recipe midway" (protip: professional bakers absolutely shift flour:liquid ratios midway) but has everything to do with how finnicky the recipes are from region to region.
Shit, there's a growing amount of interest in seasonal changes (not temperature, mind you, but the actual tilting of the Earth) and its impact on baked goods.
You're parroting a reddit-tier common phrase and passing it off as wisdom. The amount of extra flour that can get added to bread, or the amount of extra sugar or fruits that can get added to a pie. Shit, the amount of extra milk or butter that can get added to a biscuit dough all can shift.
Baking powder and yeast are about the only thing that if you frick it up you can't fix it. But in cooking it's a similar idea to adding too much salt; sure, you can add some acid to a soup or to a gumbo to help counteract it, but so too in baking you can add more sugar to yeast (or more hot water).
So really it's just baking powder, the one thing you truly cannot change later. And I only use baking powder for half my baked goods anyway.
Your incompetent, oft-repeated stock phrases are a fricking plight. Get the frick out of my kitchen, cretin.
Yeah that was so moronic I missed it.
I took "take this herb, it will cool your blood" as a scene showcasing native medicine and how they don't really understand physiology, not "take this herb it will lower your body temperature by 30 degrees"
They had a fricking extended scene of her getting covered in mud, such an easy segway but instead theres a magic herb that lowers your body temperature to freezing without killing you
That's what I thought too. Bogged down and dirty, but then she washes all off in the next scene lol. The way predator dies is so fricking moronic, it's unbelievable someone though "well, she positions the helmet at just the right place and lures predator right on the correct spot expecting him to use that weapon in that way!" and production ran with it.
dont say lure. it creates this false idea that she somehow tricks the predator into the bog trap and he falls in on his own accord. she mma wrestles the predator with the deus ex machina axe rope and throws him into the bog right and the predator surfaces right at the perfect moment. its brain dead writing.
They had the legless fur trader take the herb and thats how we know what the magical herb did. Its wasnt mud it was a dumb plot device you utter gayoot
He was saying the mud would have made sense as in the original movie, but they side-stepped it for that completely idiotic herb idea. How is that so hard to grasp?
>original predator arnold coats himself in mud somehow defying laws of thermodynamics and stopping heat transfer between his mud and skin
How is this any different?
Not him but mud doesn't do anything to block infrared. We know this because everyone and their grandma has tested this out after Predator and all universally found it doesn't make the slightest difference. Granted, magic herbs don't exist but it's somewhat easier to digest when you assume they do.
You know what would work to block it? Metal.
Wow! And did you know it also makes Hippos invisible to infrared goggles??!!!
Oh wait, no it doesn't, because being slightly cooler on the surface doesn't stop your insides from being warm.
I remember the camera team saying the whole trémie camera was bullshit : they had a real one, but it shown everything in yellow/orange/red because of the jungle’s temperature. So they had to do a fake terminé cap post-production
This might work if you're only goal is something like temporary camouflage. It won't make you invisible like the flower did, but it would help you blend in for a little bit. Which is exactly what Predator 1 did.
More importantly though, it's a suspension of disbelief thing. It's easier to believe that a character covered itself in mud to cool off then a character ate a flower which lowered its body temperature. The fact that their have been so many tests to see if it would work is proof of that.
It wouldn't help you blend in at all. You, as a mammal, produce body heat. Nothing else in the jungle produces the same kind of shit that goes on in the middle of your body, mud doesn't mask it at all.
I agree with your other point though. it wouldn't work but it's easier to believe.
No, not really. Mud is not 100% realistic, sure, but it's more believable for 2 reasons. 1 is first mud scene is about lots of fresh mud on Arnold covering him in thick layers and predator being distracted by something. 2 is then Arnold is in mud in the dark, and predator learns to find him very quickly.

>it's not realistic >but its realistic enough, so i'm right
I'd say the difference is presentation and set up. I suppose when the trapper is saved by her and is able to play dead, we are supposed to learn that the herb makes your body temperature lowered. But everything is such a mess that the scene just came off as the Predator being a blind moron
The original movie has a very deliberate "suiting up" scene of Arnold coating himself in mud. Prey has a quick scene where she eats some flowers
Pred won't kill someone unarmed and cowering, it's a hunter not a pussy. But if you shoot it once and run away, I'm afraid you're still fair game
also killing the pregnant is against their code, which is something some frick head humans could do to relearn
He's okay with a fricking alien that hunts. But a plant lowering skin temperature is too much? I get you want attention dude but at least put some effort into not looking like a total moron.
>Movies need to follow my formula or else they are bad.
Climb a tree and sit on it. You're talking to get a reaction, too bad you're arguing the stupidest shit. Every single one of you are fricking okay with this stupid alien that is literally just a human with a different shape but the plant is the absurdity. LMAO
then maybe just don't watch movies with a fricking alien predator with magic weapons and magic armor powered by a magic power source and who act like a moron for no reason
How can you be such a brainlet. It doesn't matter that it's an alien, or that it has technology impossible for to exist for us. The the movies are about these aliens coming to earth to hunt us and the protagonist needs to survive them. By your logic, Arnold should have just pulled out his magic wand and turned them into frogs before flying away on a Griffin.
The tension with this series is that the protagonist has to deal with these aliens using technology that is available to them for that time period.
Yeah, mud doesn't hide your body temperature but it's believable enough that most of the audience won't question it. You would have to be a complete fricking moron ex, you, to believe that Indian plant magic is real and that the human body could survive if the blood dropped like 30 degrees.
There is no indication the movie is taking place on Earth, indians and french could have evolved in the same way on another, similar planet but with magic orange plants and slightly different body anatomy
then maybe just don't watch movies with a fricking alien predator with magic weapons and magic armor powered by a magic power source and who act like a moron for no reason

>its impossible to have a grounded setting and introduce an alien hunter character and have an interesting story that is believable without introducing weird magic bullshit
have you considered that its your low iq that makes you incapable of imagining things that make sense?
>He's okay with a fricking alien that hunts
Unironically this is probably coming from a guy that has made arguments against religions for discounting the existence of aliens.
>a fricking alien that hunts
Possible. >a plant lowering skin temperature is too much?
The significant drop in body temperature would kill you.
Sci-fi like fantasy has to be realistic in every part that is not about the fantastic elements. Because it is the realism that makes the fantastic parts believable. Dude Frodo can go invisible with the ring that means Aragorn can time travel out of nowhere.
> LE white man bad > Le 1700's injun Parkour bro > Tiny fiesty teen girl and her dog beat gigachad alien that wipes out entire groups of experienced hunters and warriors
moron, she beat up 3 old french fricks that were left behind for good reason, reason beings that weren't either hunter or warrior, one is a cook another is injured or the other one is the local moron and sex toy
that scene was really pointless.. Why would these guys.. running for their life from a fricking alien they can't explain.. stop to kill a dog instead of just leaving it or letting it go.

They reused the Traeger death from The Predator as the climax to this movie

You can tell this movie is good by how many angry threads there are about it. If it was bad it would be ignored or ironically praised.
moron
Looks like I hit the mark, the mark in this case being seething mentally ill queers.
You’re here forever newhomosexual
/thread, the rage is because it was good, it has the npcs in panic mode.

better than the original predator though, fact.
stop it
I like Prey, but saying it's better than Predator is fricking insane
>better than the original predator though

Not gonna work.
by that moronic logic, for the last jedi was the greatest movie ever made

Its not IR its thermal theres a huge difference
Hippos cover their bodies with mud to lower their body temperature you dumb samegay Black person
To the point it could blend you in with much cooler fauna? Especially when dried?
Wow! And did you know it also makes Hippos invisible to infrared goggles??!!!
Oh wait, no it doesn't, because being slightly cooler on the surface doesn't stop your insides from being warm.
Mud sounds more realistic than a magic plant to the average consumer
>moron lib doesn't know that animals literally do this in real life
Cope and seethe, lib.
Predators btfo
AAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEE WHERE DID IT GO I HAVE LITERALLY GONE BLIND - some predator
to be fair wasnt arnold in the jungle where its like 30 degrees everywhere anyway?
I remember the camera team saying the whole trémie camera was bullshit : they had a real one, but it shown everything in yellow/orange/red because of the jungle’s temperature. So they had to do a fake terminé cap post-production
*a thermic camera
>you can clearly see that the mud has already dried and started to fall off
Sweet summer libtarded child.
Mud is thin and dry as frick
This might work if you're only goal is something like temporary camouflage. It won't make you invisible like the flower did, but it would help you blend in for a little bit. Which is exactly what Predator 1 did.

I agree with your other point though. it wouldn't work but it's easier to believe.
It didn't make Arnold invisible forever. Try using a thermal camera on your hand submerged in mud. You will see massive difference.
>gets btfo
>suddenly it's not about being covered anymore, it's about being submerged instead
orange plant bad because women
No, not really. Mud is not 100% realistic, sure, but it's more believable for 2 reasons. 1 is first mud scene is about lots of fresh mud on Arnold covering him in thick layers and predator being distracted by something. 2 is then Arnold is in mud in the dark, and predator learns to find him very quickly.

Neither post said it was not realistic you grasping midwit.
Makes more sense than Mud blocking uv radiation in Predator 1
Rey tier Mary sue but she got dick sucking lips so it's ok.
>Just cover yourself with mud bros
I didnt know Preds had FLIR.
Just cover yourself with a blanket bro
I'd say the difference is presentation and set up. I suppose when the trapper is saved by her and is able to play dead, we are supposed to learn that the herb makes your body temperature lowered. But everything is such a mess that the scene just came off as the Predator being a blind moron
The original movie has a very deliberate "suiting up" scene of Arnold coating himself in mud. Prey has a quick scene where she eats some flowers
Why
>mud makes EXTERNAL temperature lower (but not really enough to matter)
>herb makes INTERNAL temperature low enough to be hidden
She'd be dead
Why did the predator kill a wounded man? I remember them sparing weaklings in the past movies.
Pred won't kill someone unarmed and cowering, it's a hunter not a pussy. But if you shoot it once and run away, I'm afraid you're still fair game
also killing the pregnant is against their code, which is something some frick head humans could do to relearn
Did they include the part where she gets her nose cut off for smarting off to the men?
He's okay with a fricking alien that hunts. But a plant lowering skin temperature is too much? I get you want attention dude but at least put some effort into not looking like a total moron.
