Wings are the worst part (of the traditional 4 parts you get two of per bird) of the chicken.  Like drumsticks treated like wings and drenched in wing sauce are vastly more satisfying to eat.  I have had wings one time during the pandemic and I made them myself.

Considering that fungus is a fairly aggressive form of life, they will grow literally anywhere they find the right conditions, it feels like mushrooms readily divorce themselves from their own cultural context.

Pepperoni rolls! Seriously, these caught on in West Virginia with coal miners primarily as an extremely portable, non-messy foodstuff that required no refrigeration or any particular careful handling.

It really feels like the only context in which an educator can give permission to say something in their classroom that isn’t normally permitted in like ordinary polite society, is if the actual topic of discussion is “the word in question” and it’s awkward to constantly dance around it.

Does the New Vegas on Gamepass come with the DLC?  If so, play that before Fallout 4.  Or, I guess play Fallout 4 if you don’t want to be disappointed by learning that Fallout can be more than Fallout 4 thinks it can be.

There’s really not a good reason to revisit Fallout 3 since New Vegas is available and really improves on the formula.  The better version of “Bethesda Fallout” is 4 also.

Right now there are steakhouses that can pinpoint on a map where the cow whose part you’re going to eat was raised and maybe show you a picture. I don’t see “meat as a boutique experience” ever going away. It’s just that actual meat as the “low cost, I don’t care so much really- I just want to eat something that…

That feels in every way just worse than “not doing that.”

Couple weeks ago I saw a trending thing on twitter that some band was going to release an album as an NFT (I guess so that your copy is uniquely yours. Then I thought back to my music acquiring heyday where most of the music I wasn’t just downloading illegally (this was before companies figured out to just sell…

Definitely subtitles. It’s especially useful when you’re dealing with words that the game invented for its setting and proper nouns.

Shellfish- I’m allergic.

It does kind of track, since the video game where honest to goodness loot boxes were always most tolerated were Madden/FIFA with the whole “ultimate team” thing. You had stories about some kid stealing a parent’s credit card and spending an exorbitant amount of money, but few stories about how people actually disliked…

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
