Luckily for me, my local Wegmans sells a decent aji amarillo paste that isn’t as good as the real thing, but does the job for a quick lomo saltado or similar. I will have to try this green sauce recipe sometime.

I am totally fine with this, so long as they take the money they’re saving on real estate and maybe put some potatoes back on the menu. Oh, and make nacho fries permanent. It’s literally the best thing they’ve put on the menu in decades.

Ruffles sells All Dressed flavor in the States. I enjoy eating them.

Where do I sign up for this?

I liked the 2011 Muppet Movie with Jason Segel and Amy Adams. Maybe not as great as some of the classic movies, but it was very entertaining nonetheless.

I’m pretty sure that was an attempt at humor, and an unfortunately cringey reminder of societal norms in 1984. A man as a nurse? A woman as a carpenter? This doesn’t fly in Reagan’s America! Surely we got those professions mixed up.

I know I found his channel because of a video about unboxing a vintage IBM PC XT and got hooked. I don’t watch most of his game review videos, but he does a lot of interesting videos about retro computer tech that are worth my time.

The Dark Knight was the one film that specifically didn’t do that, because I imagine they thought about having the Joker appear in future films. Cleary Heath Ledger’s untimely death prevented that, but it looks like Christopher Nolan was smart enough to know it would be good to keep the Joker available in the rogue’s…

I’m pretty sure that two of their most famous sandwiches, the Big Mac and Filet-o-Fish started in franchisee’s restaurants and not at Corporate. IIRC, the McD’s brass wanted a grilled pineapple with cheese to be the “Lenten Friday” option for people who would not eat meat but wanted a burger. No one wants that.

It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago that they did their redesign to the whole “Louisiana Kitchen” asthetic with the wood paneled wall, pictures of Cajunish food, and a rack of display spices like it’s a kitchen on the bayou. I guess it’s all fleeting. Honestly, I doubt most people will care. I went to my local…

What five year old boy doesn’t love a race car? That kid doesn’t need to know a thing about the film or its philosophical takes on how travel used to be “more civilized” (at least, if you were a white man like John Lasseter), but that kid will love him toys and clothes emblazoned with a cool looking red race car. It…

TI did a great job inserting themselves deeply into the education system so that they became the only game in town even if there are cheaper options out there. This is why they can keep charging what they do for technology that’s several decades old at this point essentially.

Unfortunately, I think that the current economic crisis caused by the pandemic--which is hitting the House of Mouse fairly hard, mind you--makes it less, rather than more, likely that we’ll ever see all the Muppet TV content on D+ in any forseeable future. 

Given that Square developed that and they had a major falling out after that game came out IIRC, I don’t see SMRPG ever getting a followup or reboot. The Paper Mario series is as close as we come to a Mario themed RPG these days.

THANK YOU. I got the game last week and I’ve been excited to play. This is my first AC game since City Folk way back in 2008. Except, as I’m trying to gather resources to get through all the early stuff in the game, everything is eggs. One of my rocks dropped 3 eggs. How does that help me? I need iron nuggets right…

I appreciate that this show is approaching this season in a more straightforward fashion in some ways. It was pretty evident that at a minimum, the Charlotte Hale host was a copy of Dolores, and we paid that off pretty well. The other smuggled pearls also being Dolores is an interesting twist, but not much of a twist…

I’ll be honest. There’s a teensy part of me that misses the snuck in modern songs within the park’s worlds. All the player piano stuff was good, but when they got CREAM in during the visit to Shogun World last year, that was off the charts fantastic.

They planned six seasons of it? I enjoyed that show a lot, but it felt like it was collapsing under the weight of its own story by the end.

I’ve always thought that Maeve’s weird dialogue has been a smart choice by the showrunners and writers. We see that she’s woken up to the “reality” of the world she exists in and is trying to escape from, but at the same time, she is still a host and is stuck being bound by certain rules and means of control. I think…

This whole episode would have been way better served by kicking out one of the subplots and just having the A/reverse heist and B plots. I would have made it be the vending machine one, because you can easily see how you could have all the other members of the 99 in one place doing their pitches for the new vending…
