you swerve to avoid andrew cuomo's illegally parked charger but then a pothole shatters your entire suspension

Tangential to this, the discourse around FFXIV raids framing itself purely around difficulty is probably the most detrimental thing to the health of the raiding community. It injects a ton of anti-social behavior into a social game

I feel like literature or visual art can be "difficult" in alot of ways and not always necessarily in service of curating a specific experience. Ultimately most difficult games are still designed to be beaten and solved, but I don't know if I feel that way about books

Naming himself after food and marrying the girl from his chair meme, truly the pinnacle nerd

my theory is Arslan is making sure Anna gets nerfed win or lose

it's crazy how much cooler Clive is in Tekken because he doesn't spend all his time waiting for cooldowns. That whole system must've been a last-minute addition in 16, it makes so little sense

I just remembered that Clive's costume has an open chest because it was a keepsake from his father, who was a normal human with normal human pecs

there is a broader critique of cis masculinity appealing primarily to other cis males, and people being repeatedly lied to about that fact, but at the end of the day I can only extend so much sympathy for the rats pushing the button on a skinner box that's never given them any treats

I'm always shocked by EDC types for the sheer amount of shit they're willing to haul around in their pockets

I usually don't even wear a belt because my pants fit, I can't imagine having my balls tickled by a tactical knife and a glock barrel every time I sit down

too many people will point out they named themselves after a fascist movement, would kill their vibe

exposure to new ideas and increased personal scrutiny can open one's mind to the vastness of human experience, but it can also be seen as a personal attack and make someone spend the rest of their days rectifying some perceived humiliation

np, enjoy your trip!

hm I think geriatric is too age-specific, the term I'm thinking of refers more to social/career stagnation

is there an English equivalent to the Chinese term lao youtiao (老油条), as in someone who's been in the same place for so long that it transformed them into the embodiment of stagnation?

I remember there being a similar descriptor (stale water?) but I can't for the life of me remember it

youtu.be/-ecKc5pOEWk this whole scene in The Villainess is amazing, I was kinda pissed when John Wick copied it and made it worse

just like how their main takeaway from Obama's election is to never let anyone jump the line, all they learned from his years in office is to never promise anybody anything

replied to her but giving food reqs for tokyo just makes me feel like such a fraud lol

you'd be hard-pressed to find a bad meal there. The worst meal I've had was at the ffxiv cafe and I still went back

It's hard to go wrong in Tokyo to be honest, I usually look on tabelog for restaurants near my hotel or places I'm planning to visit.

Also try some sweets/parfaits!

- Tonkatsu (Tonkatsu Nanaido and Tonkatsu Maisen Aoyama were both excellent when I went)

- Pizza (Savoy Azabujuban or Pizza Studio Tamaki)

- Conveyor Sushi (Kaitenzushi Nemuro Hanamaru in Ginza)

- Tempura Ginya if you want to splurge a bit

I like showing tolkien fans what they did with shelob and then observing the psychic damage

I thought all this was referring to $30/hr and even then I agreed it's way too low for professional freelancing work

the only interesting part of the nobody 2 trailer was the completely unjustified violence towards a bunch of guys who were rude to his kids

genetically engineering a guy who's really good at making carbonara for a date

really magnetic lead performances carried the two good predator movies imo, so I'm kinda skeptical about a cgi dude

him predicting eric adams as the future president might be the best joke of the last decade, though

they lost the recipe after duel of the fates
