I really want to see the next “Classical Art (it’s got urns!)” ad campaign for my local museum.  I’d go.

Which one can you charge twice as much for.

Ok so I’m griping about new words but what’s wrong with umami? It describes a common concept that the other taste words weren’t covering.

They occasionally did this on Supersizers (youtube). The Regency episode produced a sort of superball the hosts ended up batting back and forth after the rest of the semi-edible meal.

I have a stupid expensive double-sided blue silicone spatula with a much less sexy pedigree (Whole Foods absurd impulse buy) but it is the kitchen utensil that’s had twice as much use as any other implement and is still going strong over a decade later.

Stock. Grade B. I don’t need new words, the old ones work just fine.

A game that isn’t out yet makes a version of a game that will never be out for a game that isn’t out yet.

Agreed.  It’s like nothing else I’ve ever played.

So excited about this.  Never liked the WiiU gamepad and this was the game I regretted not being able to play the most - awesome to have the Switch release.

I also missed the moment in time where the game ‘seemed promising.’ I remember cringing at the initial announcement, being cautiously interested in the trailer while remembering that E3 demos are mostly bullshot and then... well, and then.

That seems pretty meaningful.  Hope you have a happy one!

I have two weeks off, impossibly. I’m going to play everything.

I just imagine the shell-shocked staring around the holiday table that night, as the food slowly grows cold. Someone is softly weeping behind a closed bathroom door.  We will never be the same, no.

This is great.

Ditto.  It’s not like I don’t already eat at Taco Bell.

I mean, apart from the latest XIV expansion, many of us are still waiting for a decently written FF game a decade later. (Or more, depending on what ‘the last half-decent FF game’ was by personal preference.)

It’s not because it’s complicated, it’s because it’s not told well enough to care when you’re supposed to care. Same with XV.

Gonna argue that it was not one of that author’s best. All over the place.
