I think you’re misunderstanding me. I’m not worried that I won’t ever see the space, I’m questioning the wisdom of spending resources that the majority of the playerbase will only ever interact with on streaming video services.

He’s probably a streamer, so it’s either a job or a sidegig.

I’m...a decent PvP player. But I really don’t have any illusions about being able to go flawless. I’m sure there are many players like me, which means that there are a whole lot of players that have been contributing to the event who will never see the fruits of their labor. I get that they need to have something to

Yeah, that was my reaction, as well. It’s like the Donald Trump theory of food: if everything you eat is processed beyond all recognition, it’s safe. Acana makes a version of their food with grains, now - it’s relatively new (my local pet store just started stocking it like 3 weeks ago) and the packaging looks

That’s adorable. You know he got popped for running the Trump Organization like a slush fund, right? So really, his record of “giving to charity” is really just him laundering money through a 501c.

First of all, I don’t think for a second that Trump gets no value out of those “donations”. Those are, in less polite terms, bribes. Second, when you’re grifting the American taxpayer to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars per year, a couple hundred grand is couch change.

My wife and I have been Blue Apron customers for like...5 years now. We both like good food, but I’m much more capable in the kitchen than she is, so this is a way for both of us to cook with some “guard rails”. Personally, I like that it got me cooking things that were not on my radar - things like making a curry

“I’m not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, I’m just saying until everyone abandons everything that contributes any amount of atmospheric pollution, we shouldn’t even have the conversation”.

It’s not just how quickly insects reproduce, it’s about how hard they are to raise versus herd animals. Cows and pigs produce a LOT of waste throughout their lifespan and insects don’t produce nearly as much. Cattle farming is one of the largest contributors to methane production.

You could use any hard cheese, really. The end result won’t be EXACTLY what Allison tasted, but it will still be damn good.

First, that header pic of Joe the dog looks a LOT like my girl, Lucy. Lucy is basically whatever breed Joe is, but mixed with pit, so she’s got a bigger head and is more stout. She’s a very good girl.

More often than not, choice are based on whims. That’s a function of how choice works. Why would someone play BoF and not DQ or FF? Choice! Preference! Whim!

TIL you don’t know what the word “arbitrary” means.

I turn 36 in a couple of months so...definitely old enough to remember those games. Some of what padded those games out was the relatively open nature of them - the really early RPGs like the original FF required you to talk to everyone and read all the text to figure out what to do, so a not insignificant portion of

I feel like I’ve been avoiding going back and playing Chrono Trigger because I want to remember it the way that I do. It definitely uses the concept of a modern “endgame” to pad out the hours, in a really clever way. Maybe I should play through it again. After I finish FFVII again.

Except I’d rather own the title than perpetually rent it via a subscription service.

Two things: I had it running on 3x speed, so by the time I realized the encounter was going awry, it was too late to fix it; did I change organically or did the shift in the nature of gaming nudge me toward that evolution? A bit of chicken/egg, there.

Before I downloaded FFVII on my Switch, I was looking for a way to play BoF. I loved that game as a kid/early teen. Then again, after playing through the first half or so of FFVII, I realized that I don’t have the time or the initiative to really approach traditional JRPGs the way that they want you to. I swore up and

I’m a huge Destiny fan, so there’s a little bit of Shadenfreude for me here, but is kinda really sad. Like a shopping mall that died and everyone forgot about. Or the Rust Belt.
