It generally feels that even with a bankable studio and genre, “a new game IP” is always going to be suspect enough to take a “wait and see” approach.  Like I’m not going to lose anything if I wait 6 months to play this game, even if it’s the greatest game ever made.

Whenever I do the “turn the slider down until the logo is barely visible” I end up with a game that is *way* too dark.  So I have to turn up the brightness like 4-5 clicks above that.

If they had done them “full-card art” like the Un-set basic lands, this would be a must-buy. Still, if you don’t have those (which are like $8/per now) and you have a minimal need for basic lands, and you want to show off... this is pretty cool.

The taco pizza from Casey’s General Store remains one of my all-time favorite pizzas (Iowa gas station pizza is legit, y’all).  Sadly I no longer live particularly close to one.

“More money for rarer kinds of beef, not cooked rare mind you because that would be microbiologically problematic” is perhaps an even less fun game.

I mean, if you give me ~$100 and say “go have dinner” the one thing I am absolutely not going to order is “an expensive hamburger.” The $100 burger is not 10x better than a $10 burger. The things at fine dining restaurants that command those price tags, and are arguably worth it, are *not* hamburgers. Like world class…

Tequila doesn’t really work in eggnog.  Even the Mexican style of the same drink (Rompope) uses rum.  If you wanted to have tequila based nog, you really need to spring for a quality añejo instead of the blanco or reposado, which I doubt is going on here.

The “if you want to make it more expensive- add more truffles” game isn’t very fun.

I really have no idea where I would get suet, short of killing a ruminant myself, which I am disinclined to do for dessert.

Zach Snyder has never made a movie or a television show that I liked (disclosure: I’ve never seen the Dawn of the Dead remake; perhaps it’s great), unlike Joss Whedon. But Whedon appears to be a creep, and Snyder seems relatively normal for someone in his position.

I drink water as a nervous habit.  I have a 1 litre nalgene bottle that I fill up, drain, and fill up repeatedly throughout the day.  So I generally drink between 1.5 and 6 gallons of water per day, depending on the weather and the news.

Please release a SKU that has the guts of the series S (I do not care about 4k or 120fps) but has an optical drive (I want to be able to play my old games that I have on disc.)

It is impossible to make a game about war that isn’t political- at the very least you’re committing to either “war is defensible” or “war is hell”.

Choosing between “Tiramisu” and “Tacos” is truly a Sophie’s Choice...

Nowadays I choose when to grocery shop mostly on anticipating “when are a lot of other people not going to be grocery shopping” and I buy things in order “maximize the time before I have to go back” since, you know, global pandemic.

Pretty bummed I never got to try a Garfaccino.

Cap’n Crunch.  I made Cap’n Crunch cereal milk ice cream once and it was frankly absurdly good.

All I want is a Series S with a disc drive, so I can keep my 360 and OG Xbox games.  “Me buying a 4k TV in the next 10 years” is pretty unlikely, TBH.

My question is about the “mixed spice”. Is that something I should special order, or can I just make it if I have cinnamon, coriander, caraway, nutmeg, ginger,clove, allspice, and mace sitting around? Is just “2 tsp of any combination of spices that works with pumpkin” what I’m going for here?

While cookbook authors tend to be underpaid, MTN DEW probably miscalculated based on the $30 price. There are a huge number of better and more interesting cookbooks in that price range, so the only value of this is novelty and $30 is a lot for novelty (particularly given that basically everything in it is going to be…
