I’m definitely looking forward to Beach Bunny’s debut album and the new one from Sløtface.  I saw Ratboy live last year and loved them, and I need to finally get around to checking out their recorded music.

Favorite album no one else would possibly mention: “31313" by Silent Siren. An infectiously hooky sugar rush of kinda-sorta-not-really-pop-punk outta Japan.

I have two very different family members who literally just keep their TVs on and tuned to the Hallmark Channel (or is it the Hallmark Movie Channel?) every waking hour. It’s a combination of background noise and comfort food, and it’s more common than you’d think.

It looks so gorgeous that I’m disappointed it didn’t get an Ultra HD Blu-ray release. After “Twice Upon a Time” was lavished with the 4K/HDR treatment, I figured the season that followed would be a shoo-in, and yet...!

Proof that the Bad Place has tainted her, yes.

In my neck of the woods, I’m spoiled for choice when it comes to barbecue in particular. There are two places very close to my house that I’d point to as offering the absolute best BBQ I’ve ever had in my life. And just about every week, I wind up driving further out of the way to a BBQ joint that isn’t nearly that…

If you’re not sick of further recommendations, I’m a fan of Frostie root beer.

I can only speak for myself, but that’s the case for me.  Mayo + chicken + bun.  I use their BBQ sauce for the waffle fries, though.

Exactly. I mean, take the sequence where Summer is pouring his heart out to her. Tom is so fascinated that he’s won — she’s revealing things to him that she’s never told anyone before — that he’s not paying the least bit of attention to what she’s actually saying. It’s baffling that anyone could see that and walk…

Utz hasn’t been limited to the Mid-Atlantic in a good, long while. They’re practically everywhere here in Upstate South Carolina, for instance.

Thanks for the heads-up!  Just ordered.

I’m thrilled to see that I’m not the only person here who loves feta as a topping.

Onion rings or cheese curds.

Oh, wow!  I’m from the Lowcountry too.

Mayo isn’t too much of a thing in South Carolina. There are a fair number of places that offer it as an option, but white sauce is way more of an Alabama thing. If you see it, it’s one option among many and not the default.

Definitely with you about the Tyson’s nuggets. Strangely, I love Tyson’s honey-battered chicken tenders. Or used to. I haven’t actually had any since getting married.  Something about battered versus breaded works better for me in the oven.

That’s a reference to Five Pointz’ Wikipedia entry, not a dedicated hip-hop/R&B page. It’s pretty terribly worded there as well, though not as badly as Mike makes it sound:

Or a New Game Plus!

I was so excited to play through it again a couple years ago, only to realize I was stuck either (1) completely deleting my old save or (2) signing into a new profile.  So I didn’t, and I was sad.

“Learning, unlocking costumes and having fun in short, measured bursts. That’s my idea of a good time.”

Ditto!  I’m excited to hear that single player isn’t an afterthought.  This wasn’t going to be a Day One game for me, but now it just might be... 

I was in a somewhat similar boat. My wife was playing on an Xbox One S, and when we first started the game late Saturday afternoon, she ran into the infinite load issue somewhere around half the time we’d launch an expedition. It always loaded without a hitch for me, despite us both being at home on the same network.
