I could go for a Blitzball Manager - one of the highlights of the FFX battle system is that each character (except Kimahri) is designed for a specific type of enemy and they can be swapped at any time in battle with no penalty. That type of attitude could easily be worked into a Blitzball game where you control what…

RIP to a real one

I like the idea of Blitzball - both as an in-universe sport and as an element in the game. I like the idea of underwater soccer played in three dimensions. I like the role the sport plays in Spira, bringing joy to an otherwise joyless world. I like having the main character be a professional athlete in the sport…

Yeah absolutely, people will be like “ketchup is for kids” as if eating a goddamn hot dog is such a high-class, adult activity. It doesn’t work on every type of hot dog, which is fine, but people are going to like what they like. “Oh it’s too sweet” shut up it’s not your hot dog, no one is making you eat ketchup.

The sweet + salty + heat works so well, plus there’s just a little bit of crunch

It’s always been absurd to me, the people who care so much about what foods other people are cooking, selling, and eating. You absolutely don’t have to like pineapple on pizza (though I do, very much), but it doesn’t stop being pizza or anything like that. Like, there’s no debate in my mind, just don’t eat it if you…

I don’t know that my family has any fancy china to speak of (if we do, I’ve never seen it), but if I were given some I would 100% sell it. Not a difficult choice, I don’t want something like that around my house, taking up space and threatening to break and make me clean up tiny shards? No thanks.

Is that a custom option?

Right, and add to that that (AFAIK) it rounds to 25%, so when it’s sitting at 90%, it actually displays 100%.

I am on PS5, I dunno if they’re stretching them out (though I have seen what you’re describing) since I haven’t seen anything about them not wanting you to save scum. If they really wanted to prevent it, clearly the For Honour mode shows they could do that. If I had to guess, I’d say that it’s just a…

I wouldn’t call it “shoveling out lots of cheap food”, like if you want a cheeseburger, theirs are still better than McDonald’s or Wendy’s or most other fast food joints (but not as good as Five Guys or a lot of non-chains). They have hot dogs, which is more than most fast food places. And if you like really thick…

It would be an interesting feature, just an option to auto-pass all dice rolls. An extra-easy mode for people who, like you said, want the game to play out as they want and are going to save-scum anyway, so they may as well be saved the time.

I haven’t played Dark Souls or any of the similar “Soulsborne” games, mostly because they have a reputation as being really hard and I can get easily frustrated and angry with stuff like that when you have to get the patterns and timing just right (never did well at Punch Out either). Maybe I’d like them more than I…

That’s certainly the question, but I think these things need more of an organized campaign in order to be reclaimed. Like, the creator of Pepe the Frog worked to get his innocent little cartoon taken back from the Nazis and it has worked to a degree, but for bigger symbols like the swastika or 88 or 14 you can’t just…

I have no idea about the people making this game, I think it could easily be a coincidence, but maybe not - they’re dog whistles, indended to be subtle enough so that they can be slipped into everyday life, letting Nazis identify each other or show support without being so obvious as a swastika; they’re designed to be…

14 could be considered a reference to “the fourteen words”, another Nazi reference

Honest answer: it tastes good, mostly due to massive amounts of sugar (though diet and zero sugar sodas are still popular). And especially when eating out at a restaurant or getting fast food, soda is just the assumed choice, sometimes your food costs less with soda than without it. It’s liquid candy, with all the…

There are very few Cook-Outs with any music at all since almost all of the locations are drive-thru and walk-up only (unless an adjacent car has their stereo up too loud). They do have a bible verse on their cup (though In-N-Out does too and it’s rare I see anyone mention that), so I’m not disputing your claim, but…

Insane to me that they would even open a location at an NFL stadium, the vast majority of games are on Sunday. I know that other sports and events are hosted there, but still.

Zero percent chance these Chick-fil-As will open on Sundays. If they can’t find a legal loophole or exception or sue someone, they’ll close the entire restaurant before they open up on Sundays. They’ve been pressured in one place or another for decades to stop closing on Sundays and there’s no way they’ll let the…
