In downtown Chicago, you can go to Xoco (Michelin Star-Chef Rick Bayless’s most casual offering) and get a Tlayuda for $12. Every time I have one it’s like seeing the face of a long lost love.

There’s a Hardee’s at the Portage, Indiana rest area of the Indiana Toll road, about 10 miles from the Illinois state line and about 40 minutes from downtown Chicago outside of rush-hour traffic. 

Dave and Buster’s peaked when it had Battletech pods. Everything else it does should be an apology for no longer having Battletech pods.

Canon has a considerably less expensive 5.2mm stereoscopic lens that you can slap on an inexpensive full frame R-series mirrorless body to record VR content. The cost to get started doing this is between $2700 and $3000; the lens is $2000 by itself.

I’d give the fast food cheese a pass on general principle but IMO if you’re getting Burger King, you have to go croissant and if you’re getting McD’s, skip the egg as well as the cheese. Just get the biscuit and sausage.

The good news is that someone wanting a full-blown co-op superhero (or villain) game now has the option to return to Paragon City on HomeComing’s City of Heroes servers. Make your own Daddy Shark or Marmot Lass or whatever. The truth is that there is no better multi-player super hero computer than a 20 year old game…

Any game that was clearly designed for a gamepad.
I just hate gamepads THAT much.

There is a school of thought that both the moral and ethical axes should be from the standpoint of the divine power the paladin serves, with the classic real world example being the very real differences between European Christians crusading in the Muslim world  and the defenders of the Holy Lands. Both could be said…

The product you’re looking for is called a Commercial Display. They don’t connect to the internet, but they also lag in other useful features like high refresh rates and HDR. 

Tron 2 wasn’t particularly created to be a tie-in to the movie that was released in 1982. It’s not even tied in to Tron Legacy or the cartoon series. It’s still based on Tron, but it is also a discrete product that was made decades after the first movie.

SOMEbody clearly never played any of the Tron tie-in games. There were two stand-up arcade titles and there were also three games for the Intellivision. Given the capabilities of the day, they were all fantastic.

I’m an IT guy (not a gamer) whose social circle includes a lot of Tampa area strippers.

As far as I’m concerned, Steam is already the dark side. I don’t like Steam as a platform and I tremendously resent having to authenticate for anything beyond my initial purchase, especially for offline, single player games.

Make sure you keep track of which spells are ritual spells. Ritual Spells like Speak with Dead and Longstrider don’t consume a spell slot or require concentration and they last until your next long rest, unless for some reason you cast them in turn based mode.

Apple couldn’t even get the very most basic concept of a workable on-screen keyboard right for the first four or five iterations of its mobile OS. That’s some truly horrific judgment on the part of someone important enough to make decisions about its software. iOS still does everything in its power to prevent end…

There’s no insecurity. If I don’t like something about my devices, I have the option to change it. The cult takes it the way Apple gives it to them. It’s an authoritarian state, even for all the demonstrably poor choices it has and continues to make in its software environment.  A phone is a tool, not a lifestyle. 

Members of the cult don’t care that there are superior alternatives until they are anointed with an Apple logo? I’m shocked.

Did you by any chance see the Penny Arcade comic depicting the keyboard attached the a Surface Pro being met with “meh” while a shockingly close to identical Apple device years later was heralded as the coming of a new age? Because that is something that did actually happen.

I’m a Tab S8 owner. I actively dislike the oversized versions of the larger models, but I am very happy to see that AMOLED is finally available for the smaller units. Samsung also rates the S9 for water resistance. Since I like to read in the bath, this is a welcome enough feature that I may very well upgrade, even…

USENET is decentralized and it can be searched. Google has this functionality built in already, although I understand if most users aren’t familiar with Google Groups.
