I’m always amazed to read about speedruns that actually take multiple hours. I’m so used to seeing 40-hour-plus RPGs beaten in like 40 seconds that it’s almost refreshing to see a game still make even the most determined speedrunner put five hours into it.

Such is the nature of the sport of baseball that 90% or more of the people at the park are just there to be seen at a ballpark. They could start playing Calvinball on the actual field and most of the people in the seats would be none the wiser.

“But the fun, ketchup-holding ridges remain.”

The moral of the story is eat your salmon as sushi and nobody gets hurt. Except the salmon, which had a pretty bad day.

Would I eat one? Sure. Generally speaking, I’ll try anything deep-fried once. (no, I’ve never been to Glasgow, but I’ve been meaning to go.)

“Autopay was on, but my credit card limit is the same I had when I was 12, so sometimes it’s empty and payment can’t go through,” he said on Twitter. “Just Canadian bank stuff, move along.”

The greatest tortillas I’ve ever enjoyed weren’t at Chipotle.

Because capital-G God is evil and spiteful and “loves” his creation the way Ike “loved” Tina.

Dishwasher packs are kind of terrible. I tend to agree with Alec from Technology Connections that you should absolutely be using the prewash detergent cup in your dishwasher, which these days counts as a hack:

Only a real Mann transports minors across state lines for sex.

Or someone who recognizes that the Internet is a worthless cesspit and only on the rarest of occasions do comments sections serve a useful purpose. I have comments disabled on my WordPress-powered basketball site and find nothing of value to have been lost.

I mostly look at this news with a bemused “must be nice to have the money to play Kerbal Space Program in real life.”

KFC - We Have The Meat. Just One Kind Of Meat But We Have It.

I usually skip Dick’s entirely unless I’m seriously pushed for cash. Their fries are as discussed, and I find the burgers suffer from the same problem as their similarly-sized counterparts at a McDonald’s or Burger King. When a patty’s that small, it’s impossible to cook without turning it into a dried-out disc of…

The Pringle is an abomination. A delicious, salty treat, but still an abomination.

“My only guess is that people sleep on these fries because to order them would mean... going to Arby’s. And most people are unwilling to make that call.”

This is my thought. I’m not a believer in “gaming addiction”, but I am a former addict to hard drugs, and I know this loop. It’s the moment when shit crosses over from being a “functional addict” who enjoys the high/experience/whatever, to the “this is destroying my life” phase that comes right before the “get help…

The very short answer is that “for a certain type of punishingly difficult game, ‘git gud’ is a major part of the appeal for the people who play it.”

I’m with you on this. It’d be like if NFL players all played Madden from home. If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that the digital future all the tech enthusiasts said would be “so awesome”...well, sucks.

Vaccinations may be ramping up, but I don’t think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell of my state of Washington getting everyone vaccinated by May no matter what the Biden administration wants states to pledge.
