Frying bacon in a pan is the worst way to make bacon. Bake it, on an elevated rack over a baking pan.  425 until it’s as crispy as you like.

IF we truly are a big tent party, then we have to make room for people who still hold religious beliefs as important and animating to their morality and world view. Abortion, gay rights, and antipathy to Islam are the three tenants of ‘religious conservatives’ and they seek to alienate anyone of religious thought who…

Listen, I was 9 when the Tim Burton Batman came out too, but I try not to let it back me into bonkers takes like “Jack Nicolson was a better Joker than Heath Ledger.”

Is it on the Cloud? Does it empower assets synergistically? Disrupting any paradigms? 

In all seriousness, though, I think of it as giving them a chance to tell the truth. Every time, I (try to) make it clear that they’re not getting in trouble for smuggling veggies into the trashcan, but for lying. If I don’t give them the chance to choose between lying and telling the truth, they don’t learn that the…

(with apologies to Langston Hughes)

“Could Joe Biden Get Any Worse?”

She looks like an extra in a failed Mirror’s Edge TV pilot.

The thing about a Plateau Skip is that the game actually extends something akin to a kill plane over the entire world. The game checks if you have the glider and if yes, then you’re fine. If no, you essentially can’t be anywhere off the Plateau without it the plane triggering and warping you back. This is true even in…

Radio is just podcasts for lazy assholes who need to constantly be reminded what time it is and need to know when the sales at Shane Co are.

I remember being Tetrisized when it first came out on the NES. Even the commercials for the game acknowledged it as a real thing.

I have not but I just did and I like it! Thanks for the suggestion.

You and me both. I’m also binging the related sub-genre called “Outrun”

I have been on a long binge of what’s called “retro electro and synth wave” which is mostly new electronic music but made to sound like something you would have heard in the the background of an 80's movie. More or less. I love it.

I tried to install the Weird Faces mod, but it just put Mass Effect: Andromeda on my computer instead.

Uhh, your time definitely doesn’t need to be about achievement. Like several different times I recommend using it to play video games. Use it in whatever way suits you, so long as you at least give yourself permission to do shit you want to do, and not just sit around in a state of vague misery, avoiding work but also…

After (I assume it was the devs?) made such a big deal about CrossCode not coming to Switch?! Can’t say I blame them for trying to spur on purchases on the currently available platform but I’m glad I held off - this is the perfect kind of title for a portable.

I’ve been waiting for a WarGroove date for two years and all of a sudden it’s just days away. Can’t wait!

Tell me about it. This was kind of a life saver in one of my darkest periods (failing school, no job, debt to my ears, chronic illness, shoot me).
