Yeah, I’m not going to scan a QR code at a restaurant.  I’d rather manually type in a URL than figure out how to do that, a thing I never otherwise do.

I don’t really want to buy anything at a fast food restaurant unless I have a coupon for it or it’s on a value menu or some sort of limited time deal.  If I’m going to pay a premium for something to eat, I’m going somewhere else.

This is why I keep all of my Apes in the forests and jungles where they belong, rather than on the block chain where they will not be safe.

Really, I don’t know if it’s necessary to have the winter Olympics travel anymore. With the exception of the Ski and Snowboard events it’s all indoors. And in the new-Normal for Covid, your proportion of “people who will fill stadia to watch niche sporting events” versus “people who will watch from their homes” is not…

I was disappointed to learn that he mains Custodes.  The man’s got Hollywood money, he shouldn’t be playing the cheapest (moneterily) army to put together!  Play Orks, or Tyranids, or IG or something that prices other people out of the hobby.

I think I’ve had pizza delivered 2 times in the past 10 years, both on my birthday.  I usually would go pick it up.

I feel guilty ordering delivery in perfect weather too.

Isn’t a large part of it that Ubisoft’s institutional shittiness didn’t tank their stock price to the same extent that Activision’s institutional shittiness did? Also the blame doesn’t land squarely and directly on Yves as much as it did on Bobby (who was probably trying to find a more graceful exit than “acceding to…

I lost my mom to what was probably Alzheimer’s last May, and I was her primary caretaker. Towards the end she couldn’t walk so well but was too proud to use her cane or her walker, and there wasn’t much to go out and do because of Covid. The one thing that she did like to do was watch movies, and every time I asked…

The extent to which we’ve messed up society would suggest that some people would view “a robot can work the deep fryer, which normally is hot and messy and no one likes it” as a bad thing.

I’m not saying it can’t work, but if you’re one of the first people to sign up for this because of FOMO or fandom or whatever, then you’re a sucker. Given how things went in Celebration, Florida Disney should not get the benefit of the doubt here.

Sometimes marketing is effective.  “Space dessert” is one of those cases.

I am a sucker for “Astronaut Ice Cream” though (which never actually had anything to do with space, it was just marketing)

Ultimately the most damning thing about Chevy Chase being hard to work with is that John Carpenter didn’t make a really good film after having a miserable time working with him on “Memoirs of an Invisible Man”. You can make a case that Chevy Chase being an asshole ruined John Carpenter, and I’m going to hold that…

Ultimately, the best thing about Bioshock is the aesthetic though. You can do a completely unrelated thing in a decrepit art deco underwater city and it could be good.

MtG seems like the silliest context to do an NFT (an already silly thing) game. Like Wizards has run multiple successful games where “which cards do you own” is a thing stored on their servers. Other than a WotC run game or a sanctioned event or something, nobody else really cares if your cards are real. People have…

Magic: the Gathering NFTs are one of the silliest possible uses for NFTs since Wizards has put together multiple successful online games where “what cards you own” is manages by their database on their server.  But other than “an official WotC online game” or “a sanctioned tournament at a game store” nobody really…

Waffles are better than pancakes but wafflecraft, to make the most of the paragon of breakfast starches, requires preparation (yeasted), technique (whip and fold) or unusual ingredients (seltzer?  buttermilk powder?).  Pancakes are something I can make while 3/4 asleep out of things I have on hand and have zero chance…

I thought it was important that NYT improve the valid guesses list, since numerous times I had guessed an actual word that wordle didn’t accept (e.g. “NORSE”) I have no idea why they removed “AGORA”. I know it’s a non-english word, but “ADIEU” is a popular starting guess.

The Uber Eats ad with people who I guess are famous eating pencils and sponges made me chuckle.
