A lot of people already covered what makes a great dive. However, my one bonus point item would be for a dive bar to have a jukebox. Not an internet enabled, app connected jukebox, but an actually coin(or dollar) activated juke box. I’m not even elitest about the music on there. As long as I can pick from a carousel…

Yeah, I may use it later on, if the dialogue is repetitive, but so far, a lot as been pretty helpful in a non-instrusive tutorial kind of way. Also the chatter is a welcome exchange for playing a silent protagonist.

I’ve seen videos of the one in Japan, and it’s quite small. Seeing how this is missing one of those attractions(Yoshi’s Adventure), it’s even smaller than that. I’ll probably wait for the Orlando one to open. At least I can drive there in a day, and save on the cost of a plane ticket.

I only played for 90 minutes last night, but I didn’t find the chatter all that annoying. If anything it kept the game from feeling less generic. I probably would have played more, but I wound up watching Tammy and the T-Rex for 20 minutes on the in-game TV.

The base of the game is fine, but I found Deacon and the world kinda bland and boring. I don’t get the same sense of wonder and curiosity venturing out on the map that I get from open world games that I connect with. Deacon’s story wasn’t particularly interesting either. It was a game I would play until something else…

If the precedent being set is “casual dress attire” what is actual “dressing down”? I think we’re all just conditioned to look at awards shows as some kind of stately dinner or a pageant. I think if you look at someone clean looking but also in casual attire that are from their own wardrobe and hasn’t been tailored…

Oh it was an interview. The header photo looks like the start of a snuff film.

Any kind of awards show, already has an element of elitism, by nature of what they are. At least with the TGA, we’re not deluged with red carpet fashion reviews, skits, comedy monologues, broadcasts running over 3 hours, preshow shows, etc. Most of the “fluff” is arguably the game announcements and trailers, which a…

It’s bad enough that the Oscars and other awards shows are stuffy, elitist back-patting fluff. Let’s not turn TGA into that as well. If clothing designers want to dress attendees on their dime, fine. But this is all coming off as clothing-shaming as it is now.

I really enjoyed the movie, but I had a different read on Rylance’s character Sully. I had him pegged as creepy from the get-go. Sure he has a sadness about him, but the way he latches onto Maren, apes the way he presumably stalks his prey. From the corners, slowly observing and creeping in, but he makes himself…

MY gf, can’t stop playing. She actually prefers Arceus, and we got laugh at the jankiness but she can’t put it down. I do admit I’m enjoying watch her play this on over Arceus though.

A must-see for anyone that has worked customer service. Especially anyone that’s worked in the food service industry.

I always thought Ambrosia was a weird Tim Burton creation due to the scene in Edward Scissorhands. I intrigued when I found out it was real, then horrified to find out what is was...

I did a fairly cheap one-person thanksgiving meal for lockdown/first year of Covid. Product at the grocery stores were fairly sparse at the time as well, so I made due with the items below with enough leftovers for a couple more meals: Cornish hen in a slow cooker(with jarred chicken gravy), Stove-stop stuffing(with…

RE: shopping carts. Handle it like you would be driving a car.

“and mac and cheese, the latter of which I’ve never eaten at Thanksgiving and might just add to my menu right now.”

I got 3 on the same launch 360. It still works, but I upgraded to Halo Reach Elite console.

I did play it. I liked it, but it was less scary to me. It felt more action oriented and they turned Ethan from a more realistic character in the original to sterotypical dark-hero in the sequel.

Maybe I’m in the minority but none of these did anything for me. I prefer more of the psychological, get-under-your-skin, creeps and scares:
