I have a homemade spaghetti sauce recipe, I've worked in 3 italian restaurants(there's a lot of them in this city cause a third of the population is italian here) and in all of those cases it took a minimum of three hours to cook the sauce, and at least 20 min. of prep, half hour-45 min at home cause I have to open all the packaging and such.

And yet in every AVN I've played where the protaganist makes spaghetti it seems to take 1/2 hour all told. And I know there's quick and easy spaghetti sauce recipe's but A) in spite of the fact the recipes claim you can get it done in 20 min. I've never seen it take less than 40 in actuality(and that's by people who actually know their way around a kitchen) and B) they suck. Ragu is better than a good 3/4 of the quick and easy homemade sauce's I've had and even the one's that are only marginally so and not worth the effort.

What I'm wondering is do the devs who write this not know much about cooking or do they actually think most people make quick and easy spaghetti sauce(which is not my experience at all)?

For the record my sauce takes about an hour of prep(that includes the meatballs as well though) and 5-6 hours of cooking to reduce properly. And yes it is amazing,, best I've ever had(not my recipe, old familyrecipe I got from my gnandma).

Quality autism.

I too get sidetracked from the porn if the game starts going on about stuff in my area of expertise in some detail and I'm not sure this is supposed to happen. Being horny temporarily removes your other instincts like fear or pain (I cheat the system by trying to get a boner when I'm sick so I don't feel as much pain) because nature understands that breeding and spreading your genes is more important than your own self preservation so you really shouldn't give a damn about some sauce while horny and yet OP made this thread. Nature is weird. Either your brain knows you can't reproduce by jerking off or we've been watching way too much porn at this point and mundane stuff like cooking gets priority in your brain.

Because when playing games no one cares about that, except for food fetish, I think.

Does it bother you that in final fantasy XV you receive you food instantly as well? Would you rather have to wait for it?

If it makes you feel better, you could imagine the flavor came from one of those starter broths that has been kept in continual use for decades or longer. You can't do this in restaurants because people would call the health inspectors. In any case, the MC is a hero. He's better than you. Just accept it.

Well see that's not slice of life style game where the character is going through making the food on screen as it is in the games I'm actually talking about here so it's not really a valid comparison.

If making an inferior sauce makes hi a better cook then sure.

Just how many AVNs have you played where the protag is making sauce?

This is just wild to me since I can't think of a single time I've even seen spaghetti at all in a game, let alone see it being cooked.

Send me your sauce recipe. I have a character in my game who likes cooking, and will be doing some cooking in future updates. I also like cooking so my intention is for her cooking to actually be legit. (Though the visuals might not be exactly on point due to HS2 limitations)

I can 100% work some 3 hour spaghetti sauce into one of her scenes later this year.

Also, I kinda just wanna see if the sauce is good. I like cooking.

Man, I was sure your generous energy consumtion gave you away...
I actually don't eat that much. Can't even finish a meal at a fast food place. But rarely get to the fries. But I like good food so I learned how to make it. Don't get me wrong I'm no snobbish foodie. If I had a million dollars, we wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner. But we would(Pro-tip: 3 table spoons of butter, not 1, tastes so much better).

And I'm canadian.

I'll happily post it right here. I don't do secret recipes. Good food should be shared.

See, here's the differece, when I wanna jerk off I go to gallery(or to my collection of games with no story to speak and are only good for the sex scenes), when I'm actually playing an AVN I play for the story. I actually skip the sex scenes at those times cause I don't care, not why I'm playing it.

And I am by no means inured from the sex. On the rare occasions when I'm too lazy to turn on skip unseen text actually and just go click-click-click through the sex scenes they usually get me turned on(assumed they're hot). Latest example would be on the way home during that threesome in the bathroom with the black chick and her friend when you get that rearview close up on that thick ass, oof, sproing.

Imagine how bad this gets if you are really smart(not saying you're not, to be clear, but how the hell would I know and I have noticed a very sharp correlation between intelligence and desire to learn, the smarter you are the more likely you are to engage in independent learning because you are driven to know) and have studied a wide variety of subjects as a result. A list including, but not limited to, quantum mechanics, string theory, astrophysics, temporal mechanics, evolutionary biology, climatology, medicine, psychology, neuroscience, neurobiology, history(three kingoms, warring states of china, qin dynasty, early han, xin dynasty, later han, jin dynasty, the period of scottish history encompassing william wallace, andrew murray, and robert the bruce; poor rob, does he ever get the shaft in braveheart, better than andrew murray who doesn't appear in the movie at all even he and will joined for forces for the battle of stirling and were co-commanders, as well as a smattering of other western european history), politics, economics, philosophy, religion and engineering. Those moments happen a lot for me. Granted usually I just shake my head and move on cause whatever, but I've seen this so many times that's it just like, really? Nobody, not one time does the mc or the person he's learning to cook from know how to make spaghetti sauce properly?

And I know this response took a while but I don't have time to make a lengthy response at the time.

And learning how to cook spaghetti in between all that learning. A true renaissance man.

I know you're trying to make fun of me, but seriously, hardly. I stock shelves at crappy tire, love kevin smith movies and drink like a fucking fish(granted off and on, not full bore alky just a heavy binge drinker).

But why am I not surprised someone assumed I was trying to brag.

For the record I don't brag. I don't need to. I don't give a fuck what you think of me. There are only 2 people in this world who's opinions matter to me and neither of them are on this board.
