    Probably just better, realer ingredients. Paqui chips are pretty good for Doritos style chips with less and better ingredients.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Is it the same format as Fallen Order? I couldn't get into it. Combat was okay, but the first couple small maps that were sort of linear mazes just wasn't interesting. Felt on rails, but not straightforward or interesting enough to not just be annoying.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    My favorite things about the game are all the inexplicable annoyances. Like you're doing whispers stuff, are at 7/10, but as you're fighting the herald guy for 5 you finish a kill quest for 3. This puts you at 10/10 and don't get credit for the 5. If you get 5 at 7/10 it lets you go to 12/10...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Sprinkler season. Which means half the impact sprinklers that came with the house will be blasting the wrong way into the street or fences. Was told I just need to replace the impact sprinklers every 5 years or so because the parts wear out. The parts that pop off easily? Great, where do I buy...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    So true. I did my time, but once I stopped playing I forgot the game even existed and then was disappointed when it would pop up being advertised with game pass.

    Ehhhh, I mean sure, if they made dye-free products a lot of people would buy them, but most wouldn't care. The people are... retarded. Marketing toward kids? More like certain demographics... food dyes are the spinner rims of processed foods. And they would still be getting cancer at higher...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    A longish handle, rounded wok spatula will be useful. Gotta flip and move the food, not the wok when it's cast iron. I've used a rounded silicone spatula and it worked okay, but gets hot and doesn't scrape clean very well. Long stainless steel spoon worked better but felt slightly dumb. Wok...

    They were all woke though, bragging about hiring game developers from underserved and overlooked communities. So the discussion was, sure, the guy blamed an internal leak, but was it really because they went woke and hired based on demographics as they claimed was their goal? And the founder...

    Off topic. Should be posted in the amod thread. Consider yourself reported! The discussion is carrying on, but even I take note and try to dial back the thread shitting a bit when they come into a thread. I get that a lot of people don't want to hear it and mods get annoyed at then getting...

    That's why I call out the "can't prove it was the sole reason a company failed" argument. It's existance at all is a contributing factor, from there it's only a discussion of how much fault. And it's why DEI with government funding, subsidies and perhaps big enough corporate entities in tech...

    It's an increasing thing. Don't know if it's just pussy privilege thinking they're untouchable or too many dumb female action movies showing how strong wahmen are, but it seems regular these days. Or maybe in general people haven't generally been exposed to actual violence enough these days to...

    It's fun. Working in public employment with a IT department of like 5 full time employees with a 600 budget for salaries alone and our PCs are just regular Windows 11 with few restrictions that I can see. Employees sitting around on Facebook and Instagram all day, getting into personal email...

    Wow, tough business. Seems like they should focus as many resources into the actual business and not hiring and virtue signalling based on demographics to appease outside social justice advocates.

    Horrific malady? Why can't you make arguements that aren't hyperbolic and exaggerated in scope and language?

    Sure, just because a company fails with DEI doesn't mean it failed because of it. But is DEI saving any companies? Is it actually making s single company or product better? I would say no, but I'm open to arguements. If you assume the premise DEI isn't helping any company or product, then...

    I'm an optimist, so I'm going to hope you're just being a bad troll and not a worse, more retarded person who has become the living embodiment of breaking under the strain of cognitive dissonance. I like that you and @Kirun are running the same "nuh uh, you're all the boomers/snowflakes/NPCs...

    You spazzing and getting triggered pretending everyone or FOH as a whole is getting triggered is a pretty meta troll job.

    Yeah, bros, the gays just want to get married so they can have the government they hate properly recognize their love. It's just one little thing and look at the bigots freak out. Didn't we learn nothing from the liberal Marxist agenda over the past even 5 - 50 years? Nope, the totally...

    Do you ever wonder if you're a "usual suspect" to others in a similar way? All we need is the faggot Kirun (not the homosexual with a similar name) to come in with his edge lord, edge lording edge lord's routine and the thread will be literal Hitler.

    It's on steam. Sega Genesis Classics. I have the Xbox version and play through Shining Force every few years. Great games, and a testament to the era of poor graphics but good art.

    Last one locally closed during Covid. Not everything was great, but everyone could find something good so wasn't bad for big family dinners. Strangely their chicken noodle soup was actually pretty good, which was a bizarre find since soup wasn't usually my buffet go-to. I'd kill to go back just...

    I'm not railing or preaching against anyone. The problem is the discussion of the symptom or individual behavior doesn't address the core problem. But discussion of the core problem causes dissonance, perhaps, and that discussion then starts to be how that person is railing on others or...

    I thought it was pretty bad in a fun way enough that I started paying attention. Mediocre but competent would be worse. They actually killed a main character by having him wander into a pillar of tortured souls in hell and oops himself into a fatal wound. Comedy gold, really, but unintentional...

    You're right. You're not going to do anything. No arguement there. It's a demoralizing situation, and I have great empathy for the demoralized. But that doesn't mean one should accept demoralization as perhaps you have. The thing that bothers me is people who have enough wherewithal to...

    There isn't a solution. That's not how any problems work, much less complex societal ones. That said, it would go a long way if people were even able or allowed to see things for what they are and given a chance to debate and understand the things society is going through. Most people I...

    Yes. Anyone paying attention understands how we got here. The promise of new tech is alluring, and now society is grappling with the questions of whether it was worth it and whether tech companies lived up to those promises. My concern is there seems to be an attitude that even if the promises...

    You could explain why the story was good, or fine. You could say that you understand if others didn't like it, but it's not something that bothered you. You could even say something dumb, but true enough, like that everything is subjective. Instead, your counter argument to someone who believes...
