I lived a few blocks north of Irazú for six years and ate there a lot, good stuff and I’m happy to hear they’re still afloat despite present circumstances. God that neighborhood had a embarrassment of riches in terms of affordable restaurants—one of the best burrito joints in town was a few blocks up on Western,…

I just wish they’d crib a page from Sony and MS and release a bargain system alongside it for $100 less, in the form of a non-portable model, which they could do easily enough by shedding the screen and mobile packaging in favor of a conventional console design and replacing the Joy-Cons with a Pro controller. I have…

It’s their “John Smith”, lol.

Easy, Culver’s double mushroom and Swiss (total umami bomb), cheese curds instead of fries (w/ marinara), large Mt. Dew.

Pavement rules, easily a pantheon band for Gen-X, ranking alongside Pixies, GBV, Galaxie 500 and a couple of others, AFAIC. I’ve been going back through a ton of my CDs and LPs again as I bought a pair of awesome Usher mains in December and have been exploiting that upgrade, big time (also need to finalize the placemen…

Meh, my cousin and I damaged at least one (and probably several) of the ABS sensors on my old A4 when changing the wheel bearings, and when I went to test drive it after we had everything back together, the fucking brakes would just randomly fire on their own at highway speed, which was alarming. I just pulled the…

It’s the only real speed limit.

Nah, Battlefront II is currently weighing in at 115.8gb on PS4, and while I don’t have BF5 installed at the moment, I would be shocked if it hadn’t sailed well past 100gb as well; that pair obviously comes from just a single developer. It’s definitely an industry trend.

LOL, I have an Evangelical mother and sister while being somewhere in the proximity of Trotsky as regards religion, personally. I’ve also worked extensively with Catholics. There is no comparison; Catholics possess a philosophical framework in the form of a modified Aristotelianism (via Aquinas, of course) which…

Maybe they’ll make it a launch title for the PSVR2 or whatever they’re going to call it, since that’s supposedly coming next year as well...

Well, as Hitchens once noted, of all forms of human solidarity, the generational is the lowest.

Gen X, grew up on AFDC in the 80s and my mom was extremely overextended as a single parent (three kids total, youngest w/ special needs), so I was basically left to run free from pretty much the moment I started school. I remember constantly doing stuff like just up and leaving school unannounced when I was in…

You're forgetting about the US Constitution.

No, you were right, Arabia hasn’t been some great prize in the game of empires traditionally; in fact the Achaemenids never bothered with Arabia and apart from controlling a small section of the coast opposite the Strait of Hormuz, in what is now the UAE and Oman, skipped right over it in progressing to Egypt. Alexande…

a little bit of ground clearance for exploring roads throughout the west, but no need for 4WD

Other developers must think they’re just showing off at this point. CDPR is probably collectively facepalming every time they see NMS mentioned in print, just thinking about the absurdly high bar Hello Games set for salvage jobs and the magnitude of the hole they’ve dug for themselves.

Now they’re worried about incest?

That’s so weird, I only just saw this list and was reflexively going to jokingly type that I rejected any “comfort movie” list that didn’t include a single flick mostly about food, and Big Night, probably the best one, is definitely the one that was central in my mind.

This actually sounds like the worst to me. I live in a far northern city (US, but further north than a majority of the population of Canada) which is probably the hilliest in the Midwest (the real, actual Midwest, not the pretend one existing only in the imagination of New Yorkers which begins in Buffalo and goes west…

See, I agree, I would never make that comparison. Hitler voters were abhorrent people, some of the worst ever, but at least they can say they were seduced by a devil who was very probably one of the most electrifying public speakers in the history of humankind, and a shrewd political operator who surrounded himself…
