Everybody loves The Acclaimed

Tapioca salad is a Thanksgiving staple in my family. Leave the canned cranberry jam at home, thanks.

Some artists can condense a variety of concepts into three or four minutes, while others can make a ninety minute song about smoking dope in the desert and it’s just as compelling.

Iowans calling themselves “midwest” while voting like southerners. You hate to see it.

Nah, they’re just in Davenport.

On a related topic I wonder if Plague of Gripes ever finished that fence around his farm.

The original PS1 game had both main character options, if that makes you feel better about it.

Vagrant Story was ahead of its time and constrained by the PS1 hardware. If Square Enix had held on for a few years and developed it for the PS2 it would have started its own franchise.

Guild Wars 2’s World vs World mode, but with an established IP and without the bolted-on single player content. And increase the team sizes while you’re at it. Sell cosmetic DLC to pay the bills if you must.

WvW was a blast until they shelved it for a year to focus on poorly-written single player DLC, and lost half of the community in the process. I tried going back a few years ago but it’s a grindfest now.

Ford has a hard enough time keeping up with demand for their vehicles as-is, so I kinda understand their decision. The US is starved for good domestic hybrid trucks, though, and Ford is leaving money on the table here.

Ray Traylor didn’t do anything to deserve this.

Imagine telling people your first name is Gunner or Major and expecting them to take you seriously.

But why have more memes when you can see the same picture about AdS iN tHe StArT mEnU again?

Suikoden II is generally considered one of the best JRPGs on the PS1, and while the English translation isn’t spotless the writing and setpieces have a similar quality to Chrono Trigger. It is a sequel to Suikoden and you’ll enjoy the second game a bit more for having played the first one, but it’s not a requirement. The original Suikoden wasn’t nearly as polished and I’d hate for you to give up on Suikoden II because you burned out on it.

Maybe a community college would have been a more appropriate venue for his visit.

I made the switch when RiF died. In all honesty I wish it wasn’t necessary, because the niche communities here are a shadow of what Reddit had before the blackouts. And while Reddit had trolls just like Lemmy, it was big enough that you didn’t have to share general spaces with them.

Keep politicians out of sports events.

Crusade. The story was just starting to get interesting but JMS had used all of his pull just getting the fifth season of B5 on the air. I’m cautiously optimistic about the animated series that was hinted at by The Road Home but I’m also not holding my breath.

The original Driver on PS1 made me better at handling cars in general, both in video games and real life. It’s a shame GTA and Saints Row went with exaggerated vehicle physics and the Driver series never got the non-vehicular parts right.

Ticks and Leeches off of Lateralus by Tool. It’s not even a bad song but the aggression ruins the flow of the album and sticks out like a sore toe.
