    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    My coworker had this argument with me today and it's silly to consider it this way. Steam - Comes into an empty room in 2002 or whatever and draws in the developers this way... yadda yadda GOG - Moves in via the retrofitting old classic games for newer machines. Low expenses because Poland, no...

    The Eating on a Budget Thread

    The big offender there is the nice roasted spices and sauce mixes for mapo tofu and stuff. Some of them are really really good but often have the completely wrong photo on the front for some reason (lol china) which has given me several unpleasant surprises! I was skeptical about pre-made stuff...

    I also won't drive 45 minutes to get to H Mart from where I live. Hana Market and MT is reasonable close. Although I do have to ask some people about shit at MT market since their utter lack of organization is super annoying. Here's a bunch of bins of shit imported directly from China, hope you...

    And we're back to Quayle. God I hate that fucker. After this shutdown of the passage it is getting more absurd to me how Management is able to run the organization. The Office of Interchange was, by their historical narrative, founded around the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the...

    Yeah its like this: 1980 - Murder of the boy and girl disappears. Initial investigation 1990 - Evidence of the girl appears, wife writes book on the case, investigation is reopened to look for the girl 2015 - Retrospective on the case, Wayne has memory problems... or something. The present day...

    Hmm, not looking too interesting for my tastes. Where do you find stuff to read? @Ukerric is there a good recommendations list on goodreads I should look for? I don't really record what I read there so I don't make good use of its algorithmic features.

    Not sure if any of you saw this. But to go with Robin Hood being some shenanigans. So, basically the app (because it is a dumb app, most likely an oversight on their part) allows anyone to just start putting down options despite not having the underlying collateral to actually make a call IE...

    Don't want to ruin for ya but I do have some serious complaints about the retconning shenanigans going on. Please correct me if his many novellas I haven't read address this. No real spoilers about the Wrath of Empire book just the setting itself. I may be a nitpicking neckbeard faggot here...

    Yeah that's what I do. I buy 15lbs of ultra premium short grain (best rice IMO) and put it in this. For all of you out there I recommend you take the ultra premium short grain rice challenge. It isn't overly expensive or anything and you can taste the difference in quality even if youre a dumb...

    You actually bought this thing? Seems like it wouldn't be a real efficient kind of device to me. Much like the Hong Kong Automatic Cooking Machine (Stir Fry only though!). With my favorite HK youtube thot.

    I hadn't realized Wrath of Empire had came out. Man that is a good series. There is something awesome about a series with mages in a society with 19th century level technology. Specifically Blackpowder Mages who rail blackpowder like it was cocaine to give them superhuman strength and speed...

    Yeah. I am looking forward to when they improve this game enough that I want to buy it. It has so many elements I would like to enjoy. Especially with the @Utnayan team! They would really benefit from some of these elements to make the game more, "fair" and competitive for all levels of play...

    @Lanx I went Chinese on my primary knife a while back. Mostly out of curiosity I bought a cheap Chinese style knife. I call it a light cleaver. But anyway, I've grown quite attached to it as it is extremely convenient to have a knife with a bit of weight to it compared to what I am familiar...

    Just started reading the Bobiverse books mentioned in here. While kind of simple it is an extremely innovative way of constructing a narrative. Easy and enjoyable. Do recommend.

    The shrink is a seriously weak link. It's like you take the awesome story of Harley Quinn but make it worse in every single conceivable way then just greenlight it.

    A dude who lived near us when I was growing up was a marine electrician and historian. I'll remember his name later today.

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Yeah. Even the academics agree that Gobekli Tepe was built 12000 years ago. If we follow the main lens then mankind was fucking around doing Clan of the Cave Bear shit and fighting with neanderthals at this time. Meanwhile, a society had become efficient enough (farming) to have a wide swathe...

    Problem is you can easily be overwhelmed by the bajillion kimchi styles at your typical Korean Mart. However. Generally what you want is the crunchy radish kind. I'm by no means a specialist but I've had every commercial and grandma's at the Korea Mart made type available to me here in Austin...

    @Chukzombi that Jersey City one is interesting to me. Something like that should be immediately identifiable as it would have to have been built sometime in the past 300 years at MOST in order to fit with the founding of the USA. Maybe you should go check this one out! Who do they say built it?

    The primary topic of discussion in this thread (to me) is really how the mainstream narrative of humanity propagating throughout the world and establishing civilization is full of massive plot holes. Every single historical, "fact" regarding the dawn of human civilization is framed through the...
