Yeah, good point. This particular store is definitely using it synonymously with the larger East Asian region and its associated cuisine which struck me as a bit off. But also, since I would go to this store during the entire period of my own transition from "oriental is ok" to "oriental is pejorative" I may have…

There is still an Asian grocery store by where I'm from named "Oriental Groceries" notable because it's been owned by the same Chinese family for well over 30 years. I refuse to call it by it's name as it makes me rather uncomfortable saying it out loud.

Also, he's gay.

…unless their job is colluding with Russia, which everyone over there seems pretty good at.

The surprise on his face is worth way more than winning an election!

How long before Trump writes (((NY Times))) to distract us?

Oh those rascally "no-win" Democrats! They're so sad that they set this collusion trap for Trump, Jr and then forgot to reveal it!

But her emails!

We regret to inform you the hot dog is stupid.

It's weird that the easiest way for an average person to get something from TV onto the internet is to physically record your TV set.

Yeah, Kaiden in ME3 is just as frustratingly milquetoast as he is in ME1.

My biggest ME regret was letting Kaiden live. It wasn't because Ashley was a space racist (although I suppose that helped) but because I felt so bad that I had just broken his heart so killing him just seemed to be too much. In retrospect, this makes absolutely no sense, I mean, let the man sacrifice himself for my…

I'm sorry. I know that we all experience these things differently, but I remember the gray meaninglessness that pervaded my life when I was in that hole. My relationships and job felt pointless and I pulled away. Video games were just as gray. It was as if I were playing directly with the 1s and 0s, a cog…

I realize I'm not saying anything new to people here, but I highly recommend both Cave Story+ and Shovel Knight for the switch as classic-style games. I played them both on other systems, but I played them and enjoyed them far longer on the Switch. And the Mighty Gunvolt game is an adorable Mega Man-like game that…

Oh! I think Overwatch dropped in price twice since it came out. I picked it up around the holidays for ~40 bucks and I'm pretty sure it dropped again within the last month or so. I have to say though, that for all my praise of the game design, if it weren't for the fact that I get to hang out online with a friend who…

Oh, I agree, avoiding all conversation with strangers is key. I greatly enjoyed Mario Kart 8 (and now deluxe) online, but I had thought it was solely due to having decades of Mario Kart experience and thus was able to compete in a real way. However, I've been playing Overwatch with a friend and am extremely impressed…

Yeah, not providing any closure whatsoever struck me as a curiously poor business move. I know that Netflix doesn't make money per stream, but leaving a show like this on a cliffhanger is a great way to ensure that no one new cares about one of your most expensive original properties.

HOLY FUCK

A childhood of reading genre fiction and playing poorly translated games really kinda screws with your sense of quality writing. I remember being all in on this game's plot.
