It’s not a bad cocktail by any means (though it tends to be unbalanced in the sweet direction) but people in Wisconsin can be weirdly provincial about both its canonicity and whether or not it’s superlative in the realm of cocktails (it emphatically, is not).

I have to say as someone who is not and has never been a Starbucks person the name “Gingerbread Oatmilk Chai Latte” is very confusing. Like does it contain tea or coffee? Does it have to have oatmilk or can you get a different milk?

I’ve come to understand that I just don’t like fried cheese.  To me, it’s a culinary version of “a hat on a hat”.

Yeah, as someone who doesn’t play Destiny the biggest obstacle is “it is impossible for me to experience the entire story from the beginning until the present” a thing that is not true of any other game I could be playing instead.  To say nothing about literally any other piece of media.

There are some great people working on Destiny, and it seems like there’s some neat stuff there, but I have to question leadership for making a game like this that seems so much like a job rather than a leisure-time activity.

To say nothing of “Possession”(1981).  Certainly not an easy watch, but he does some great work there.

I get motion sickness (well, simulation sickness) from first person games, so I generally avoid them. I’m the weirdo who played Skyrim in 3rd person.

The best Halloween game remains DoubleFine’s “Costume Quest” since it actually captures why you probably love Halloween to begin with.  The sequel is fine too.

I could see ordering a Steak with your phone from the parking lot of a Texas Roadhouse and taking it to some place close by that’s not a Texas Roadhouse and eating it there.

I think the thing about Fight Club is that it’s a closed loop in the culture- it resonates with a thing that happened, but isn’t happening anymore. Like “Late stage capitalism is bad” is just background radiation now.

The Pearson’s Salted Nut Roll has always been a superior alternative to the normal Payday bar, as the peanuts are of higher quality.  It just seems like they’ve made a better Baby Ruth here, which frankly isn’t that hard.

Like there are a lot of sharp corners inside of a PC case when you’re building one.  I generally bleed on *something* just not “directly into the coolant tank”, but that’s probably something I could manage if I had a reason to.

I’d think if you’re dipping into the barware for glasses, a tulip glass would be a better choice than a highball.  Just because the major failure mode for water glasses is “tipping over” and highballs have their center of gravity right in the middle.

It’s weird that people key on “attractiveness” for Player Characters in an Elfgame.  In TTRPGs I’m generally looking for a specific aesthetic, but that aesthetic is rarely “beautiful”.   If people think Gith are weird looking, the set of options for BG3 probably isn’t wide enough.  Like the tabletop games have rules…

If you watch the C.H.U.D. episode of The Last Drive-In you will find that Mr. Briggs decidedly does *not* like the movie at all.  It might be the single episode where he spends the most time excoriating the film he’s showing.

I’m okay at Connections but the thing that drives me nuts is that sometimes there are valid sets of four that the game does not accept (though you could convince a human referee at their validitiy.)

Burger toppings I have had that do not appear on this list include: roast beef, pulled pork, macaroni & cheese, chicken fingers, chimichurri, chocolate sauce, etc.

Where this strategy really hurts the game is those categories like “Before, During, and After” where the contestants don’t have to recall information so much as “combine information.” It’s much easier to start with the $400 clue whose response is “What is Easter Egg Roll Tide” than the $2000 one with the correct…

Well, at least getting rid of that guy in a few months will be a major upside to Microsoft acquiring ABK.

I mean a significant portion of Microsoft’s big brands involve the sort of game (often an RPG) where the main character is a cipher for the player to project themselves onto.  Honestly I like this sort of thing well enough that I’m fine without a MS Smash Brothers- I don’t even really care for the Nintendo Smash Bros.
