Revealing that he can summon a persona basically gives the whole game away. No innocent NPCs in P4 (other than the Velvet Room inhabitants) have any knowledge of or connection to the TV world.

Monkeys typing Shakespeare is just so passé.

I have to say the quantities of the ingredients are not specified with much precision. A bowlful of milk? A handful of butter? This is not gonna look like its picture on seriouseats.com.

Good stuff. Though to be pedantic, Straczynski didn't remove all reference to Ivanova in the B5 episode, he just wrote her out of it. (Which couldn't have been difficult, since the regular cast was only peripherally involved in most scenes of that episode anyway.)

If "every job you've ever had" amounts to ten years of employment history, sure, list them all. For most of us past a certain age, that advice would take us to a time in our lives we aren't particularly proud of anymore and employers would find less than interesting.

Why should a hiring manager care what your objective is? If it's anything other than the trite "to get this job," it's a point against you. Assuming the job is congruent with your career goals, the place to explain that is the cover letter.

You pretty much have to swear to mention homosexuality in a good light in at least every third sentence you speak, lest you be a foaming-mouthed gay-hater.

My family used to own a bar that served food, and we did that with a few simple things—also coleslaw and potato salad, I think. The time saved on labor more than paid for the difference over the raw ingredients, and I doubt they would have been that much better made from scratch given the time and budget limitations.

I agree, but S2 plays in many respects more like a remake than a sequel—a straight-up upgrade of the original. In that respect it would be a better choice. (Though I would probably recommend starting somewhere else if you were completely new to JRPGs.)

Most FF games have their good qualities, but I don't think any are as completely pleasurable as FF9. Straightforward and satisfying game mechanics, exciting and emotional story, gorgeous art and music. It's like a distillation of the best parts of 1-6, but done at the twilight of the PSX lifespan. This might be the…

Not at all hard if you know what to do, but you're basically guaranteed not to get it if you don't know going in.

Also three different story branches—play as the remnants of the Kingdom, infiltrate the Empire, or take the nutso Ruin branch. Five utterly different endings.

That's for hardcore players only. Rewarding on some levels but extremely long and slow-moving. And the execution of the second disc (abbreviated in production when the budget was cut to expand the next Final Fantasy) is an utter disaster.

Mark Meer. He's actually a wonderful voice actor with a wide range; MShep is his most famous work but not his most distinctive. (I think the performance is right for the character, though.)

The positive effect of suggestible, poorly informed people demanding gluten-free products: there's enough of a market to sustain these products so the people who actually need them can find a wide range.

Giving Shepard a memorable name will just emphasize the slightly absurd fact that no one ever mentions it.

Let me guess, you don't like the idea of paying for something you don't personally benefit from.

The better question is why you're so irritated about it. It's not a zero-sum game where it would actually take something away from you to give people what they want. Do you think that people should just quietly accept not getting what they want, no matter how negligible the impact on other people, just because…

The slippery slope argument in a nutshell:

Really? What are you going to do with a second drive once everything is ripped? And what's the rush to get it done all these years after CDs were a thing?
