There’s a huge variance flavor by flavor. I though I’d love the lime flavor, but it’s by far the worst. Raspberry is decent, mango is good, but the black cherry is the clear winner.

I was going to post this, but you beat me to it. Underwood Pinot Noir is surprisingly palatable. Be forewarned, though: my friend’s wife drinks it like beer (“Hey, it’s in a can! It’s only one glass of wine!”), but 12 ounces of wine is like 3 glasses. And then she wonders why she’s trashed after “one wine”.

My wife and I are very much in camp Skinnypop. I hate the name, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t the best microwave popcorn around. Bonus points if you can find the packages that open up into a bucket, similar to those you get at the movie theater.

Not only are women currently in the military, women were historically fighters, as well. Recently unearthed evidence suggests that Amazon warrior women were very real. The idea that women were delicate flowers that needed to be protected at all costs by strong, tough men is a relatively recent social construct, it’s…

So, I was originally going to post about how my basketball teammates and I would gather to play Cool Boarders 2, that PSX was *really* when gaming broke into real mainstream culture, but that just led me to the thought that it wasn’t ever really about gaming, as a whole, it was about game genre.

Came to the comments for this, was not disappoint.

From the article:

That’s a whole lot of ink spilled to just say, “I disagree with you”.

You’re really getting hung up on semantics, missing the entire point of my comment. Great work.

TIL that you only know the word “villain” from the context of superhero movies.

One’s a criminal and one’s an asshole. I’ll take the asshole.

Strong take that you not only side with the villain in this story, but fantasize about the villain taking things even further.

Rise from your grays!

I don’t think masterworking weapons requires Ascendant Shards, but lots of Enhancement Cores. The armor does, however.

I really liked the battle system...at first. It felt innovative and rewarding when I got things right, but it, too, quickly turned into a chore.

I tried, desperately, to play through Octopath Traveler. It had the same cadence as the other, earlier games - get new character, see backstory, do dungeon, move on, get new gear, etc. - but that game is a fucking chore with no payoff. I dunno, maybe there is a payoff, but I only got through recruiting like the first…

Yeah, but did he get the part when Jaskier says “oh Valley of penis” when Yene grabs his codpiece?

Sounds like you made the right choice. If you’re still in SoCal and Bru’s Wiffle in Santa Monica is still around, they do a pretty strong up-scale version. Strong recommend.

Yeah...with those players involved, you’re probably right. If, in your travels, you find yourself at a respectable establishment that serves chicken and waffles, I’d say go for it. It can be delicious, but the IHOP/KFC version sounds like disappointing diabetes on a plate.

It’s an amazing dish. Sweet waffle and real maple syrup with salty, crunchy fried chicken, all topped with a dash of vinegary hot sauce. So much more than the sum of its parts.
