  • Look up real ramen recipes and think about what each ingredient adds. Use other frozen veggies - a bag of stir fry mix can’t be that different from a bag of broccoli price wise. Eggs definitely. Sausage (or bacon, or Taylor ham, or Spam) can be a good flavor bomb. Frozen seafood mix adds protein, flavor, and changes the dish.

    Also consider seasonings - any of the following help. Paprika, turmeric, garlic, onion, dill, bay leaf. Look at international noodle soups, adapt the flavors.

    Oh, and you can also replace the packet seasoning with a low salt bouillion cube. Still a good flavor, but so much healthier. Mushrooms help too!







  • Honestly, it’s just become my default for anything that hits the surface level “huh, that’s cool…but how or why?” check nowadays. LLMs generate material that matches surface level interest without the ‘why’, because there’s no actual thoughts or emotions to give a reason. So whenever I see a “cool” remake of a game in a different way, I start out assuming it’s an LLM project driven by some slop-happy inhuman fleshbeast that doesn’t understand what human elements made the old thing cool in the first place.

    So basically it’s just a gut feeling that something is ‘off’.
