This article about a ubiquitous food item, prepared in a ubiquitous way, somehow manages to work Bon Appetit, colonizer of all foods and originator of nothing but a simple video format, into the article five times.

Hate to be that guy, but “quaaludes”. This one sticks in my head because words with double a are rare and cool, like aardvark.

Eat them. Eat them all.

Very cool but MGSV appealed to me as a break from what I know of the Metal Gear series, one far more focused on gameplay and freedom (something like Breath of the Wild with military equipment was the pitch). I think I’ve forever messed up my ability to enjoy the story given the explainers and joke videos I’ve watched…

Funny, I did exactly this same thing. The All Digital was on sale for $150 over Black Friday, so I made my first Black Friday purchase ever to own my first Xbox since I lost an old 360 to a fire years ago. I am also rarely compelled by Microsoft exclusives as a Nintendo lifer, but I’d been dying to play MGSV and…

Metal Gear Solid 5 baby.

Uh, did you just say seeing a Mario platformer narrative through is the point? Spoilers: Bowser captures Princess Peach, Mario collects maguffins until he can rescue her. Odyssey was magnificent and contained Nintendo creativity, joy, and depth of Mario’s movement control in spades. Just because your kid liked…

Employees are the ones who lack loyalty? Lol ok boomer, talk to me about all the steps companies are taking compared to decades ago to retain those employees, other than stagnating real wages, shifting to gig and contractor models to avoid paying benefits etc. My dad worked for P&G in the 70s and they hired movers to…

How did you have a three week old baby a couple months ago?

Please read this interview with Raphael Bob-Waksberg in Vulture, which really nicely sheds light on what you said in your second paragraph. Sounds to me like he knew where he was going, but he happened into nearly perfect circumstances, without which he freely acknowledges the show might’ve never gotten a second…

So two people who have nothing to do with the story or the medical field? What exactly is your point with this helpful reminder?

I vacillate back and forth on whether Rocket League belongs on this list personally. I’ve hit my highest highs (lol) and lowest lows trying to navigate this twitchy-ass game while stoned. Sometimes I find the zone, others I’m 8 steps behind wondering if I ever knew how to play it. Regardless of my performance however…

Does Rocket League count as sticking to sports? Asking in case my other favorite Gizmodo site is suddenly asked to “stick to nerd shit” by HERB-LOOKIN-ASS JIM SPANFELLER. Someone really ought to lift Paul Maidment’s balls from in front of his eyes and show him the page traffic data. Fuck. 

Jim Spanfeller is a fuckin HERB

If you are ever sitting behind one Jim Spanfeller on a plane, you can get him to stop reclining by breaking your complimentary pretzels into sharp pieces and repeatedly sticking them deep into his ear canal. Fuck Jim Spanfeller.

I think the same thing about Ian Eagle, but I like his work. He calls both college and NBA games, including all the Nets games for YES, NFL games, tennis and I think he guest called some MLB games. That guy is everywhere.

This is the first time I’ve ever read the phrase Fuck that to describe gameplay in a review, so thank you for that, I love seeing reviewers take a strong stance on these copy/paste microtransaction-riddled messes. Granted I’m biased and seeking this sort of disparagement actively for these sorts of games, I loathe the…

I swear by the simple pleasure of rolling a joint and bringing a little tube along in case I want to cap it. I live with a non-smoking SO, so I take a walk around the neighborhood when I want to smoke at home, I have as much of the joint as I want, put the rest in the tube and finish it later. Dabs and vapes are cool…

Drew for the love of God man, stop buying weed vapes in DC. They are wonderfully convenient, no doubt, but when DC legality is in such a gray area, I cant help but worry. The site I used to figure out who to buy from here, run by a lovely guy known as the Gentleman Toker, recently took the entire site offline because…

Very much a real thing, somehow. There are prize money competitions and a small but dedicated set of “pros” who make a living off the content they produce and competing. This guy is probably the most famous: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/21/sports/basketball/jordan-kilganon-best-dunk-youtube.html
