This is disappointing to learn.  I hoped it was just a game about being a cat, though I acknowledge the basic problem is that humans expect certain things from stories and wild animals tend not to have narrative arcs.

I’m pretty much always going to use self-checkout if I can. I understand the reason that stores are pushing this is “machines are cheaper than employees”. To the point where stores know they’re losing money by people “hitting the button for the cheap onions when you’re buying the better ones” by accident or on…

Is there a better middle ground between Clamato and Tomato Juice?  I can’t have Clamato because I have the kind of shellfish allergy that’s also not friendly to mollusks.  Something like V8?  Bloody Mary Mix?  Tomato Juice and Maggi?

Yeah, I am straight up never going to get into a game that requires a multiplayer component.

There is probably no game I understand the appeal of less than Destiny 2, but no behavior I understand less than “harassing the devs of a game you like.”

I honestly liked the Flamin' Hot MTN Dew "Extremely Gingery" is a largely unexplored space in Dew and a welcome addition to the brand's bag of tricks.

You still only want like 5 TBSP of salt per 7 lbs of pork when you’re making Pepperoni. Plus you need to be able to keep it at 50-55F at 75-80% humidity for weeks, which it didn’t look like they were set up to do.

The MS site says “Red Dead Online is required to play Red Dead Redemption 2: Story Mode.”   Is this not true?

So far we’ve had five actors playing Indy at various stages of their lives. Harrison Ford played the character from the age of 36 (Temple of Doom) until however old he is in Indy 5 (like 70?). We had River Phoenix playing 13-year old Indy in Last Crusade, and the “Young Indiana Jones” chronicles we had Correy Carrier…

Right? Like an important part of the theatrical experience compared to “being at home” is “you are comfortable in the theater and are not in a hurry to leave to go somewhere more comfortable.” Like this is why movie theaters in the U.S. were some of the first places with air conditioning.

I’m sort of confused why Red Dead II Story Mode requires Red Dead II Online and not the other way around.  I just want to play the single player part!

I haven’t been to a movie theater since before Covid. I really wanted to drag myself to like “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once” and “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” but it was just a lot to get convince myself to go to be at a place, at a specific time, spend money, and remain in that place for 2-3 hours.

The main appeal of this I think is that it will allow me to choose words as the Host that the actual game never would in a thousand years.

I mean, currently Indiana Jones has been played by 5 people. Mostly Harrison Ford, but also River Phoenix as 13-year old Indy in Last Crusade, while “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles” featured Correy Carrier as 9 year old Indy, Sean Patrick Flanery as 17 year old Indy, and George Hall as 93 year old Indy.

Long before Wordle, I learned “The Five Letter Word Game” in high school where each player had a 5 letter word and like Wordle you did Mastermind scoring/clueing and the goal was to get the other person’s word before they got yours.

So what in the Wordle party game is going to keep me from choosing the sort of 5-letter words that Wordle never would.

I thought that for once I agreed with Elon Musk but then I saw the last three letters of the sentence.

That would be called Tchad, and it's in French.

Like you need some salt for the dough and the sauce, but since so many of the things that normally go on pizza are salty (cheese, cured meats, etc.) you probably want a light hand with the salt on the rest of those things.

The thing I think most American pizza shops miss about pineapple on pizza is that it not only needs to be balanced against something salty (like all those cured meats) but also something spicy (jalapeños, banana peppers, even crushed red pepper).
