Yeah it’s definitely regional. Like a suburb of a big city is going to have more options than the main regions of a smaller city because they know that that’s where a lot of the big city people actually live. And some places are just going to be more pizza/Italian-heavy than others.

Not everyone has access (or easy access) to something better, sometimes the national chains are all you got.

Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, so it’s technically true, but Wizards is still a corporate entity of their own with their own CEO, management, and employees. Hasbro does own D&D, but I wouldn’t insist on that kind of labeling or call it “more accurate”, or else you end up with things like “Yum Brands introduces a…

Sold a couple of gift cards to one of these sites recently (the downside of working remotely for a company you live far away from is that if they give you a gift card, it might be for a store you don’t live near either). Was a pretty easy experience and yeah I can imagine it would be worth it for gift cards to…

Meanwhile I’m glad that they recently turned off the weight sensors on the self-checkout stations at my local grocery store so that there’s even less of a chance of me needing to call an employee over to fix some machine bug.

Fair point, I don’t really know much about that kind of thing. I just searched for “egg move” on the page.

The article doesn’t mention anything about breeding for egg moves. Unless they revised it?

It’s funny watching “Best Leftovers Ever” since they never actually call it that. At no point in the show do the host (who is capable if a bit annoying) or any of the contestants call it that. However, every episode is introduced as “that leftovers show”, making me wonder if the original title was to be “That…

Yeah, one one hand it’s wild watching GBBO as an American and expecting the winner to get something more than a fancy baking dish, but on the other hand it does really affect the atmosphere when it’s not like everyone is your obstactle to get $100,000 or whatever.

School of Chocolate really isn’t. Like there are challenges and winners, but the emphasis is never really on who wins and who loses but rather on making sure everyone is properly instructed.

Yeah I mean I’m not a mechanic, it’s just something I’ve heard other say before to explain headlights pointed too high or too low.

Fair point

Interesting, I don’t think I ever really gave them voices (with this or any other game). Same with reading books, I just read the lines and know who said them but it never really occurred to me to give them a voice of their own.

I’ve been using Gmail since 2005, when it was still invite-only, and I never delete any non-spam emails. During that time I have accumulated 1.28GB - obviously if you get a lot of attachments that’ll fill up faster (and I’ve long-since argued that Gmail should have a way to delete an attachment without deleting the…

I mean, some of the best Japanese hibachi I’ve had was from a gas station, but that was a case of “the gas station rented out some space to a really small restaurant for mutual benefit” and it can work out really well, especially in more remote areas. But the ones off the highway that are right next to six different…

Part of the problem, I think, is that regular headlights are getting too bright as well (and are sometimes misaligned). Like, I get that you’re a big bad truck and you want to be able to see everything from your throne up on high, but you really don’t need regular headlights that shine directly into the eyes of…

Yeah I agree that automatic headlights are a problem here. People don’t realize that their high beams are on and the detection for other cars is either not working at all or is too slow.

Yeah I dunno, I see people theorizing that they removed it from the base games as a way of getting people to use Pokemon Home, but I’m not sure since I don’t care enough to pay to subscribe to that. It might also be to encourage trading from people you know (or knowing the people you trade with) instead of the…

I’ve been trying to complete my Pokedex in Scarlet/Violet and the Link Trade code system is making me miss the GTS soo bad. Like, it theoretically works but trading with strangers is so hit-or-miss and requires a fan-created system to work at all.

From what I’ve seen it has differed pretty substantially from person to person, but in my experience it’s not nearly as bad as people think, at least those who haven’t played the game. Texture pop-in, framerate drops, camera clipping, sure, but that’s about it. There was one time I got on the wrong side of an…
