In honor of the 4th of July, I found about 20 cheesy gifs of American flags/fireworks/bald eagles/a dog eating a hot dog while holding a pistol in each of its front paws and arranged them in a rectangular border, cued up a chunky, looping midi of “Stars and Stripes Forever,” and streamed an 11-hour marathon of every…

If they wanted to cater to maligned mom rock, they could do Adjusting for Inflation, Quarterback.

The brand I usually buy, Country Archer, just started selling a zero sugar variety - or at least, my local grocery store just started selling it. The flavor’s great, so I don’t miss the sugar at all, but oddly the texture is very different and there are a lot more stray... is “beef crumbs” a real concept?... at the…

He’s not bad; he’s just programmed that way.

I have a rule to never work with David Schwimmer.

This is the first time I’ve been relieved not to have access to a chicken sandwich during this grueling culinary forever war.

I’m starting to feel this competition between my backlog and a list of games I’d like to buy. I’m seeing people have a lot of fun with Mario Golf, in communities where I’d totally be welcome to drop in and shoot the shit for a round of 18, but with my backlog all formalized, release dates clearly marked, including…

I never crave taffy or have any desire to buy it at the store, but any time someone brings a big collection of taffy to share with the office, there is some fierce competition for the most exciting flavors, and when all the vanilla and banana ones are left, everyone starts to realize that they’re all pretty much all…

This all started out as a drunk conversation where someone yelled, “Oh yeah, well I’m gonna make a bars rover!”

It’s goofy, and I’d never want to live there, but I did smile very time I drove past it.

Clearly the picture of Cruz is taken from the episode where they cut hair off their heads and glued it to their chins.

This is one of those rare moments when "the titular stripper" is actually a correct use of the word "titular."

I saw Radiohead once during the tour for Hail to the Thief and once more shortly after they released In Rainbows, and I was shocked and entertained both by how much they continually played with the format of their songs such that they sounded nothing like the album version, and by how little Thom Yorke gave a fuck…

A 10 mg gummy puts me to bed. I get a mild, pleasant high peaking at like 2 hours after eating, then I can stay blithely spaced out until the moment I sit or lie down, and then I am completely unresponsive for four hours.

*so they’d quip back and forth

I really enjoyed the character development in DA2 and often threw the three rogues into my party just so they’d all quick back and forth while I explored the city. The dialogue’s fantastic. But it was amazing how much they recycled the game’s few areas, by taking the same dungeon layout and just moving a few barriers…

I made very, very minor progress in Tales of Destiny 2 (Eternia), exploring the world map enough to recognize that even having a magical ocean-crossing skateboard thing, the game’s still just putting mountain ranges around the places it doesn’t want me to go to yet. I found the continent I’m supposed to go to next,…

Wait, what? Legend of Mana remaster? Today? How did this slip under my radar?

Control was such a mixed bag. They had some interesting gameplay ideas with the superpowers you earned throughout the game, and a couple of the puzzles were interesting, but the combat was utter garbage and there was too much of it. The story started out seeming like they couldn’t decide between being a straight-faced…

I appreciate the info on the title, and on chaining artes. I’m trying not to look up too much about the game, but since this is a copy I bought off of a video store with no instruction booklet, there may be some info I’m supposed to have that I don’t. I’ll see if there are any in-game tutorials I may have mashed…
