  • Felt the same. I dropped the Witcher after 10 hours. A solid try, in my estimation. I usually quit games around the 2 hour mark if I’m not feeling it.

    I was in a bit of a depressive rut when I started c2077 so I just kinda plowed through the beginning not knowing if I didn’t enjoy it because of the game itself or if I was on the edge of offing myself. Whichever reason it was, after the world opened up a bit I started to fall in love with the characters and story about 15 hours in. Which is a huge ask. If you’re into games as a storytelling medium, it’s a 10/10. On a mechanical level, it’s about a 7/10 for me. It’s ok throughout, and even really great for some of the set pieces.



  • If the pan is hot enough and little enough wine is used, all the alcohol will quickly evaporate out. It actually tastes bad when that doesn’t happen; you’re supposed to let it stir around until that bit has boiled off.

    That being said, the deglaze is there to get the fats and other caramelized components unstuck from the metal and reincorporate them into the meal. Any highly acidic liquid ought to do although it’ll change the flavor profile quite a bit depending on what you use. To be safe and stick to the spirit of what the recipe is trying to get you to do, you can use apple cider vinegar. But you’ll need a base to offset the acidity if you put in too much.
