It’s all the butter you put in there to make them delicious.

It feels like calling out “toppings” categorically is weird.  Like if I get lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles on my hamburger it’s quite a bit different nutritionally speaking than if I got cheese, bacon, mayonnaise, and ketchup.

This feels like one of those games where “refusing to participate” is a valid victory condition in the context of the game.  Why do I need level 100 anyway?

What are the chances that they pivot and make this a regular menu offering (once they can get more chicken parts) versus making this a Turbo McRib thing?  I don’t live near a Popeyes, but if I find myself near one I would want to try this sandwich people are really excited about.

Well, it’s also an issue of “would we rather people pay us to harvest some deer in the fall or would we rather pay people to haul away the rotting deer carcasses in the spring.”

I mean, fundamentally the reason we should all be okay with deer hunting is that the deer herd is massively overpopulated because humans have displaced their natural predators (mostly wolves). It’s not an issue of “how many deer we’d prefer to have around” it’s an issue of the carrying capacity of the environment- a…

I guess they figured that reactionary asshats were the only people who were going to buy their game, after all this came to light, and wouldn’t buy their game if they backed down.  I guess they’re hoping for “people will buy any piece of garbage to ‘stick it to the SJWs’” or something.

How to braise. Once you understand the method, all braises (pork vindaloo, carne avodava, hungarian goulash, pot roast, etc.) are all the same technique.  It’s just the ingredients that vary.

Dave Arneson got Jack Kirby-ed.

I just hope the games industry has gotten this “we will also do Destiny, but slightly different” thing out of their system.

Really, a sauce more identifiable as mornay sauce would be a preferable thing to pour on (dry, boxed, institutional, fast food, etc.) mac and cheese than brown gravy.

If you had to eat one Muppet, which one and why?

I mean 90% of outré “Pumkpin Spice”offerings just taste like cinnamon + whatever it is.  It’s long been believed, perhaps erroneously, that Spam means “Spiced Ham” so they’re finally putting spices in it.  Just, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.

If I died eating tacos, I would at least know I went out doing what I loved.

Clearly the solution is to start celebrating Taco Thursday.

I assume the Lego movie’s argument would be “in fact, they are talking about TAKO Tuesday- they just think they are talking about tacos.”

Wait, why isn’t the big story is they’re committing to another Saint’s Row game? I’m curious to see how they’re going to keep the series’ commitment to keeping inconvenient continuity.  Are they just going to use one of Johnny’s potential wishes at the end of Gat out of Hell to reboot things, or are we going to get a…

I’m going to put masala chai spice in my pumpkin pie and see if anyone notices.

It’s a palmier. The layers are much thicker in a funnel cake, and an elephant ear doesn’t have layers.

My problem with assembling a pickle sandwich is that I do not think I would be able to assemble the sandwich before eating the pickle.
