    I like to just shred them straight into ice water and then pat them dry! Also, I usually keep a few boxes of dehydrated shredded potatoes on hand as back up.

    Thank you :)

    I have a stovetop griddle, so I like to make it the same way we did it at the diner I worked at when I was growing up:

    Big puddle of oil.

    Slap on a thick pile of shredded potato. Salt/pepper.

    Wait patiently. Enjoy the sizzles.

    Once browned, flip it over.

    If ordered extra crispy, let the other side cook for the same time as the first side.

    Else, cook for one more minute and serve.

    I just had a baby, so I've been waking up extra early every morning to take care of the house chores, the dogs, etc. so my wife can focus on feeding the boy.

    This has afforded me more time to cook breakfast, so I've been making eggs and hash browns for me and my wife, like, literally everyday. Today I made omelets with cheese, onion, tomato, and salami.

    Breakfast is great. Such simple meals with a great effort to deliciousness ratio.

    I haven't forgotten about it though and I just want to reiterate how cool it is that you put it together. We're settling into our new life now so hopefully soon I can actually putz with this some more. Thanks again for being awesome!

    My only argument against this is that there are some people in this world who agree with you, and some of those people know how to make games. Will they be more scarce and difficult to find?...

    Basically, at this rate, there will be no more AAA single player games by 2040.

    My only argument against this is that there are some people in this world who agree with you, and some of those people know how to make games. Will they be more scarce and difficult to find? Probably. But they will be there.

    I don't blame you for being cynical, and I don't disagree with any of your other points, but people will continue to make cool shit for the sake of making cool shit. I have to believe that.

    There are elements of chance and randomness in all sorts of sports though. Your skill is determined by your ability to overcome the moments when chance, randomness, and "luck" are not in your favor. A very unlucky, but very experienced poker player would be able to use his skills to overcome that. And even still, there are plenty of sports where the better-skilled competitor doesn't akways win, simply because they were unlucky.

    Oh yeah, that's just part of the game. In this game you use ingredients to make different potions, but different ingredients can make the same type of potion, so this person has three different recipes to make a healing potion (hence the hearts), and each tab will bring them to the page with their corresponding recipe. They're keeping the three heart tabs near eachother just as a way to keep them grouped together, since they are all different recipe pages for the same potion.

    I mean, I would take anything at this point. I'm always experimenting with new apps and tools. I use windows and android.

    If this sounds like something you'd find fun to work on, be my guest and I'd love to test it if you do! But definitely don't put yourself out on my account. No hard feelings if its too much of a headache and you end up shelving it.

    Basically when playing this game, the tabs surrounding the book are placed there by the player, and when you click one it will bring you directly to that page. You can customize each tab with an icon, and drag them around the perimeter of the book and group them how you want. So its visually organized and customizeable.

    I do this with my physical books, I place sticky tabs on the pages I frequently reference. It'd cool to be able to do this with my digital books/documents, and have my book marks visually organized (without having to click into menus and search through a list).

    I know it sounds kinda weird, but its just how my brain works.

    Very similar to how the recipe book in the game "Potion Craft" is organized. I essentially want to be able to mark pages and assign an icon, letter, symbol, or whatever to the tab. Clicking the tab brings you to that page. I also want the freedom to arrange these tabs around the perimeter of the book.

    I'm not even sure what search terms to use to find a software like this. I'm not looking for anything robust, just a simple reader app with minimal page marking with intuitive visual organization.

    Does anything like this exist?

    I'm not a huge poker head, but I wholeheartedly disagree. Bluffing and decision-making is a huge part of the game. There's so much more to it than being lucky enough to get dealt good cards. You can eliminate a lot of the competition at a table without ever even showing your hand if you know what you're doing.

    Quick edit: But I agree there is no skill involved in the any of the other games you mentioned.
