All packaged food should be made in intervals of 50/100 calories.

At this point I will pay BlueSky money if they can figure out how to show me normal webcomics and filter out political cartoons.

Taco Time WA has made the leap of having plain white ranch dressing as a featured side as part of their whole legacy white people taco thing to now pushing spicy ranch. Never let anyone tell you some progress hasn’t been made.

In retrospect it’s a bummer that the 3D and motion control gimmicks in Nintendo products died off because I bet indie devs could do some cool stuff with that. The 3DS and Wii being so locked down in comparison to the Switch means some tools for potentially unhinged indie gameplay is basically lost.

Now that it’s over my take away from the Platner thing is that it’s still a point in the “Internet is Not Real Life” column because a million billion posts didn’t amount to anything. The *actual voters* in Maine seemed to be on board and not a lot of people are talking about that?

Good joke that DuckDuckGo is also getting into AI after people switched away from Google, but if it’s a separate product at least they aren’t ruining their own search.

It should be illegal to have an anxiety spike on any day of your vacation, including the last. If lawyers need someone specific to sue on this case I blame McDonald’s iced coffee.

It’s so funny having a Discover algorithm constantly serve up anime OCs, fetish art, and anime OC fetish art while I follow the King of the Hill screenshot bot. It’s like walking through a zoo of cosmic horrors and then one of the exhibits is the North American gray squirrel.

I’ll keep reiterating the point: the games industry isn’t so much crashing like the brakes went out or a tire popped as it is being driven into a wall by a drunk driver. Include the memory/storage crisis and its two drivers playing chicken and being too drunk to swerve out of the way in time.

Played Doom 2016 on July 4th, as that felt appropriate, and a decade later it's still an all-timer from every vector except one: being locked out of backtracking so if you miss secrets you're simply screwed is still no fun.

I think video game sound options should have both a slider for dialing in your preference AND an on/off switch so you can mute without dragging the slider to 0.

Drinking Royal Crown cola on US Independence Day, don't tell anyone.

What’s the percentage of indie/smaller titles that have never had a physical copy?

Kaiten Sushi but breakfast foods, clearly this is possible, right? Little plate that drifts by with one sunny side up egg, another with one sausage patty, another with a small blueberry muffin, another with a little bowl of grapes…

I thought The Onion was raw so it could be a voice for the rest of us. I have since learned it is Bloomin’, an entree only the bourgeoisie can afford.

Sorry to Bother You and I Love Boosters was a fun double feature tonight.

Nothing is going to get better until we find a way to get rid of the rich people at the top and the investor class.

In the 41st millennium there is only the war between wanting to sleep cozily and wanting to sleep cool during the summer.

Simultaneous gaming discourses: GTA VI not shipping on physical media is a crime and no one should support the all-digital future. And, The Steam Machine, a desktop without a disc drive from the company that did more than anyone to kill physical media on PC is too pricey to instant buy. :’(

Most modern cars have DRLs (Daytime running lights,) but only the cars in the Cars series of films have DSLs.

(Having just learned about the existence of the game Tail Concerto) "ACAB includes Waffle Ryebread."

Added to the list of once-you-see-it-you-can’t-unsee it along with Sonic the Hedgehog having one big eyeball with two pupils floating in it: His arms are bare flesh and his torso is exposed through a hole cut into his blue onesie.

Tired of all the various discourses I’ve seen repeated lately. I want to discard my hand and draw up to five new arguments.

They never go to yellow alert on Voyager. It’s only ever red alert and then a few times blue alert.

When will there be a fantasy revenge story brave enough to have the farm be kidnapped and the family burned down?

I spent a lot more on my PC, but even if the Steam Machine had been about $800 as some are speculating it would have been pre-memory crisis that's a tough row to hoe. *In theory* the PS5 and XBSX could have dropped in price by now or at least stayed around their pre-crisis cost of $400.

Saw a poll that said more people prefer Monopoly to Scrabble and yeah that checks out 😔

I'm going to say it, the "coming up" or "in this video" or whatever preview thing people put at the beginning of their YouTube videos now is dumb. I'm not one of the rubes, I don't need the Most Epic Moment in the first five seconds of video to keep me watching.

If blue and no hair a Bolian be there, If blue and antennae Andorian that guy.

Star Trek engineer singing in the style of Rick Springfield, "I wish my ship had Jeff-rie's tuuubes."

All the trees are green, but the sky is grey, Washingtonian dreaming on such a summer’s day

It's funny that if I had money to burn I wouldn't blow it on a $75k+ vehicle, I'd take a chance on the ~$30k Slate EV Truck thing. Specifically, I'd build a lowered notchback.

What if they made a Dr. Pepper that was good for your teeth and they called it Pepper, DDS?

Only Wife and Boy need KeySafe, all others can be trusted to carry their own keys.

People mourn the loss of the Panera lemonade that kills you, but I think you can get there with Panera hazelnut coffee with roughly 1.65 times the volume.

I understand music styles are cyclical, but I never expected to hear a song on Panera Bread radio that sounds exactly like it was composed for a computer game with VGA graphics. Sorry I didn’t catch the title you’ve just got to believe me that these bleeps and bloops were straight up Star Control 2

The people who’ve been “predicting” an industry crash for 20 years are probably going to spike the football at some point, but I don’t think we should let them given the insatiable greed of capitalism *within the industry itself* is partially nested inside the US economy which itself risks collapse.

Highschool DxDiners, Drive-ins, and Dives

Do you think there’s a guy who is into the idea of AI because it would let him realize his dream of watching classic Food Chanel programming hosted by big titled anime ladies? Educational content and travel shows with giant honkers. Takes down the recipes and works on the craft while also gooning.

How did the Dirt Devil vacuum company survive the Satanic Panic of the 1980s?

Do I *like* Slay the Spire or as a person with only one monitor is it simply something I can pay on one half why the other has a YouTube video?

Warner Bros missed a trick by not making him Yosemite Salmon.

Kitschy kitchen garbage decor idea: "My friends say I'm a smart cookie, but I'm really a smart biscotti; I only work if I'm combined with coffee!" (One thousand crying laughing emojis)

It's nice when sports leagues are competitive so once in a while you get a less prominent city like San Antonio or New York City in the news.

All lady Die Hard scene where Jill McClane asks Sergeant Allie Powell why she’s working a desk job. Allie: “I shot OUT a kid!”

If we’re going to reach the point where EVs can drive 500 miles and charge in 5 minutes and cost $10k I’d like to ask whatever car company is left to broach the final frontier of car development; having actually nice interiors.

Hello and welcome to “Taking the El” a retrospective of the worst rated Superman comics, movies, games, and more…

Let me check things out

Gamers don’t deserve.
