Sweet potato biscuits! I have never tried that but now I want to.

I adored the first one. Exciting!

Wait, you mean they’ll release a new NBA game next year? Just like they do every year? Amazing.

This is true, and I’m genuinely angry about that.

Yes please! It’s a brilliant game and I will happily buy an updated version.

Just tried it, with a GBA Castlevania game (of course) and it handles beautifully. If this the future of AppStore allowed emulation, I’m a fan.

I agree with the other three, but this is wrong about “narcissists”. “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” is a diagnosis, but calling someone a “narcissist” isn’t. That’s just a description of someone’s personality. It’s much older than the diagnosis, going back to the Greek myth of Narcissus. The diagnosis doesn’t get to co-opt the much older usage.

He was a widower at the end.

Lazenby Bond was not a bachelor by the end of the movie but I still love this.

I’m genuinely kind of mad that I didn’t think of this joke first.

I’d do a “Titanic”. A daughter of top corporate executives and a son of factory workers fall in love in downtown Tokyo, and then Godzilla attacks. They have to find a way to safety while trying to protect each other and defeat the romantic rival.

Very flavorful design. Buy the bottle of Nuka, you get food. Drink it, you get a cap. Well done.

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever eaten was a Hawaiian with jalapeños. Yours looks delicious.

A recent entry, but I adore Ms. Marvel. She’s very much like Peter Parker when he was introduced—teenager, dealing with real-world problems as well as superhero problems—except that she’s also a Pakistani immigrant living in New Jersey, so she has culture clash issues to deal with on top of the rest. The best parts of her story are when her superhero life intersects with her family/friends life, just like Peter Parker back in the 60s.

Not a fan of the new “she’s actually a mutant and being drawn into the Krakoa X-Men storylines”. I love the Krakoa X-men storylines but I think they don’t fit with her very grounded character.

Honestly? Just their basic tacos. Maybe the Doritos version if they still have those. But just get a couple of the hard tacos with some Fire sauce. If you like those, you may like other things on the menu; if you don’t, you probably won’t like any of it. They’re Taco Bell distilled.

On one hand, Roxxon are badly overplayed as villains. On the other hand, I’ve enjoyed every Al Ewing work I’ve ever read. So on balance, sure, I’ll check it out.

Mole tribal when?

I haven’t seen the anime but the manga is wonderful.

This is an obnoxious answer, but Gordon Ramsay yells so much about everyone else getting Beef Wellington wrong, I’d like to have his Beef Wellington, but made by him under the exact same conditions where the contestants got it wrong, with no special privileges.

I’m genuinely angry about how true that is.

There was a show at the NYC Fringe Festival, “I can haz cheeseburger, the musical”, that focused on the walrus’s quest to find his bucket. It wasn’t good exactly, but it was very of its moment.

See, I thought it was mildly infuriating because the images aren’t “many types of airplanes”, they’re only a few types of airplanes repeated at different sizes or different angles.

The “Louise isn’t really a good archer” thing was telegraphed by the camera cuts right at the beginning, but setting that aside I really dug the episode.

A Nepalese restaurant moved into a former Indian restaurant’s space in my neighborhood just last year, and I got to try a momo for the first time. It’s delicious. Anyone who has the opportunity, go and try them.

Aspyr! I was a Mac user in an era that was 95% Windows, and Aspyr brought quality games over to our side of the pond. I remember they ported Alpha Centauri in particular, but there were lots of other ones too.

Also Bungie back in that era—they were Mac-exclusive and putting out the amazing Marathon series. I was heartbroken when I saw the trailer for the new “Marathon” game that looks nothing like the originals.

Just the novel, but yes, it is great! Is the TV series good?

I did love House of Leaves!

Well, I was just talking about Dark City in my own sub thread, and to me it’s very similar to Brazil in tone and imagery. Not sure how much of it is practical effects but given the era I’m guessing that most of it is.

I had never heard of it before, but I just looked it up and the setting sounds perfect. Thanks!

I haven’t but it sounds like I should. Thanks for the rec!

If I love “unreliable shifting cities” narratives, like Dark City, Fallen London and the City of Saints and Madmen books, what similar kinds of settings might I like?

That looks really good! Is it oyster sauce?

Ostrich is delicious. I’ve eaten it in a restaurant once and cooked it myself two or three times. It tastes like a red meat, but cooks like white meat, so you have to be careful because it can overlook in a snap.

So your belief is that nobody who plays sports ever dies of heart disease? Yeah, no. Heart disease can be reduced through exercise (but never cut by 100%—that part of your post is just flat-out wrong). At times it can also be worsened by it—see the marathon runners who drop dead partway through the race.

The drug in question also isn’t a pill, but that’s the least part of your medical ignorance.

Completely agree, but I wouldn’t call Vernors a generic. It’s a competing brand.

Socks are another good answer, but there, it’s nothing but gold toe for me. They’re just so comfortable.

I buy nearly everything generic but generic Band-Aids have terrible adhesive so I always buy name brand.

Edit: Oh, and frozen pizza. I’ve had too many generics with crusts that might as well have been made of cardboard.

I love that this article was posted by a bot.

UwU I look just like Buddy Holly

O_o and you’re Mary Tyler Moore…

This album probably doesn’t sound revolutionary now, but at the time there was nothing else like it. It was so raw, like the whole thing had been recorded in one take in someone’s garage and just shipped straight from there. By comparison to all of the severely overproduced music of the 80s it was mind-blowing.
