It’s simply not necessary to preserve as a readily accessible part of the canon every single part of a significant artist’s canon. We’re all actually better off if nobody’s local “Shakespeare in the Park” wastes everybody’s time with “Timon of Athens” or “Two Gentlemen of Verona”.

I sort of want a bottle of coke with “Poison” written on it, as an objet d’art.

If it’s not “Pasteurized Process Cheese” don’t bother.

It really feels like that while you can attract large audiences to live services games (and thus make a lot of money) you’re never going to be able to get absolutely everybody you could get to buy your game to sign up for one kind of game. The people who do not want endless live looter-shooters and the people who like…

I always feel guilty when I do stuff like that, ever since I realized that the taco bell app allowed you to order a single hard shell taco with a 3 cheese blend, beans, black beans, chicken, steak, onions, jalapenos, rice, sour cream, “red strips”, seasoned fries, and eight different sauces in addition to the included…

I wish I could get the unconscionably spicy chicken with the lettuce and tomato.

I feel bad for everybody who had been working on it, I’m sure they did good work that will come to nothing, but Anthem didn’t really offer anything I wanted anyway.  I play Bioware games for the story and characters.  I don’t really play AAA games for their gameplay loop or combat or movement or whatever.

Use a slotted spoon to scoop up as much chili crisp from the jar as you think you can handle

By the time this comes out, the only people who aren’t going to be turned away from all the news around the game are “the very worst people in gaming” I figure.

There’s always a vent in the bag to release steam though.  You could fit something through that little vent if you were inclined to adulterate this asshat’s food.

If the man is so incredibly persnickety that you have to open the tiny bottle of ketchup in front of him, close enough that he can hear it pop, there’s no way he’s going to accept popcorn that someone microwaved in the back and brought out is there?

From that article:

I hope Big Air Fryer is compensating you, since you’re providing all of the effective marketing for their product that I’ve see.

So the main reason that historically most potables with botannical and herbal characteristics were alcohol based is that some flavor compounds are alcohol soluble but not water soluble. So it’s an interesting engineering challenge to figure out how to get them to stick in a solution of mostly water. Are these small…

Two things that absolutely do not need to be more racist- tea and sugar.

Extremely excited about Legend of Mana coming to the Switch. All you really need to know about the game is that a plotline involves a monkey and anthropomorphic phonograph musical duo who are unable to express their true feelings towards each other, so one ends up having to descend to the underworld in order to save…

Banana peppers are a great pizza topping!   What I mean is “limp slices of pickled cucumber the color of pickled banana peppers”.  Sometimes you’ll see them on like a “cheeseburger pizza”.  I think the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten had “50/50 mixture of ketchup and mustard in lieu of pizza sauce, ground beef, those…

I wonder what percentage of people disdaining anchovies on pizza have ever had anchovies on pizza, or whether they just have the association “anchovies = gross pizza topping” in their head from media/popular culture.

There are times when being allergic to shellfish sucks (like when you go into anaphylaxis at a wedding reception because the crabcakes weren’t labeled, or when the air in the restaurant is suffused with fried shrimp allergens).  But I’m going to chock up “never going to need to pay a bunch of money for a giant sea bug…

So as I understand it, as a cultural outsider there’s never a problem with making an “this recipe was inspired by another culture’s food”.  The problem lies in claiming “this is the good version” or “this is the improved version” as that’s patronizing and implies people who have made this dish for a while didn’t have…
