What about if it was a throw-in? If you got it from Humble Bundle, you could invoke the “on sale” rule and call it a backlog game, or you could invoke the “it was a gift” rule because you didn’t ask for it—assuming you bought the bundle for some other game or games—but you got it anyway. Like an STD.

Besides wishing the McRib would appear more often, since when it does show up I’ll go the first week eating them to an unhealthy degree and I keep up a brisk pace throughout their run...

Oh heavens, yes. I get why some people didn’t like them—if you got a bad piece, it could have gristle from the thigh meat, and chewing on that’s no fun—but they were sooooooo much more flavorful than the all-white-meat nuggets of today.

The playoffs are upon me in Super Mega Baseball 3; got just four wins left against the Grapplers to claim the title, then it’s on to the offseason and hoping that my core of stars decide to re-up for another season. If not, it’ll be an interesting crop of rookies for Year 4. Probably going to bump up the difficulty…

“is apologizing for calling the cops, and says she never indicated that Anthony was armed.”

“For me, sour sweets should follow the principles of hot sauce: strong enough to make your mouth pucker, maybe even to make your face go flush, but not so strong that you can’t taste what’s underneath.”

“Teen NieR squad all the way.”

I guess one way to avoid building up a backlog is to play one game and only one game and grind, grind, grind some more with it.

Same when I lived in Reno. Lived across the street from one. Tacos were 49 cents. Game, set, match.

So does Wendy’s, but aside from BK (what’s their excuse? Follow-the-leader when they saw Popeyes is doing it, maybe?), the other sandwiches in the sample are subject to the cost-cutting theory.

“Where is the seasoning???”

The voters don’t care. Hell, half of these bubbas in red states only oppose the same welfare state that keeps their fat fuck selves in meth and McDonald’s because they’d rather starve to death than see a black family lifted out of poverty.

It’s hard to call what happened in November “historic losses” when they massively outperformed polls in many states (Ohio, Iowa, and Wisconsin are especially instructive—the first two were supposed to be toss-ups and the third a fairly safe blue state but Trump won OH and IA by eight points and lost Wisconsin by a…

Assholes gonna asshole.

“Don’t drive us to where we have to start expanding outside of Texas and outside of the country. We want to keep doing business here.”

It won’t be a foreign war (and thus nuclear conflict) that causes the Information Age Collapse. It will be a populist uprising, either extreme right or extreme left, but unless governments nuke their own territory to put down the insurgency, that’s not the endgame.

I’m with you on this. My own writing may be full of bad takes and endless run-on sentences, but it’s mine.

Boston-style Chinese food is the thing I miss most living on the opposite end of I-90 from where I grew up. Dasshit’s amazing.
