They had ground chuck on sale so I've got three pounds of it. Tonight is going to be gringo tacos and tomorrow is a meeting at a ****ty BBQ chain, but I'm feeling like making some meatballs or a ragu later. I haven't made meatballs in a while and ran across a thing for some very good looking ricotta meatballs, so I'm leaning towards that, but if yall know of a must try either way I'd be grateful to check it out.

What is a bean boozie and why is it bad enough yall need $10 to eat one? Asking uhhhh.... purely for scientific purposes.

I'm holding out on my Lich run until the DLC archetypes drop, because Shadowcaster/Reanimator seems like the perfect gestalt for it. I've only done Trickster and Azata as well, both swung wildly at all parts and the last act feels like an afterthought but at least Trickster has useful/funny unique options. Everything I know about the other paths is hearsay, but the general consensus seems to be that 1)Angel, Demon, and Aeon are the best 2)Azata, Trickster, and Lich don't really have much compared to the above 3)The lategame paths have almost no content and barring legend are bottom tier I'm holding out for DLC to finally drop to do more playthroughs, but I have neither the time nor inclination for 10 more runs of the game.

I'd have thought Alan Wake 2 would have been bigger. I guess being stuck on Epic cut out the legs. I guess this is more fuel for the eternal PoE sales debates. I think more important to me than how Deadfire did is that Sawyer wants to do a hogwild PoE3. Microsoft, let him cook. This man will make a game where you need to have a PhD in math to understand half of it and an expert knowledge of the occult to understand the other half. It will be glorious.

Eh, the dems are infamous for staking out positions unpopular with their base (opposition to public health care is the best example) and alternating between just kind of going "look at how bad those guys are" or punching left. I think Biden and most of dem leadership will go to their graves defending or downplaying supporting Israel's slaughter of Gaza, no matter the political costs. And I do very much think that this cost them their next big election, when the people who'd normally grudgingly vote for you start calling you "Genocide Joe" that's not good for you. Drop of water in a drought.

As someone who played all three Dragon Ages, ME1-3, and BG3, I can confidently say that BG3 is hands down less focused on the secks. Even with being able to let a mind flayer slip you the tentacle or let Halsin "unleash the bear". You don't have to **** the vampire twink or devil muscle girl for them to have good arcs, meanwhile like half the content for Bioware npcs is locked behind you smashing them and what's left is largely unremarkable. You'll probably not be as happy with Act 3, which goes much heavier into combat and feels much more crowded. Sawyer's thots about BG2 very much apply, you can throw a rock and hit someone involved in some quest or another. That said, overall I'm positive. I wish there was a pause button, a day/night cycle along with time progression, act 3 was bigger simply to feel less cramped, and things I don't remember off hand but will probably come back to. But it's solid and I'm happy enough with the game. It's weird seeing some of my yung co-workers start talking about rpgs and stuff when they've never been interested in them before. This one kid watched a tiktok of Karlach dancing like two months ago and now wants in on a Pathfinder game I run on every other weekend after devouring BG3. I also Lynch-pilled him by getting him to watch Lost Highway, so maybe I'm just a bad influence. Anyways, I think that while DnD is popular in the tabletop world and has made inroads into pop culture, BG3 is the first time in a while I've seen a DnD thing aside from tabletop really punch through. Like that big movie they did with Chris Pine this Spring was good for what it was (a Marvel movie but less ****) but it didn't break even. I had to look at Wikipedia to see other dnd games and I **** you not, NWN2 was probably the last one I can see with any kind of enduring legacy among the types of people who play these games.

As someone who lives in a state where abortion is banned and where travel is now being attempted to be banned, abortion shouldn't be the decision of anyone but the pregnant person and their doctor. Not the local, state, federal government or even the parents if applicable. For the school district I went to, my highschool was also the one with the most pregnant and parent students. So much so they made a daycare and a playground for the kids. Sex education was abstinence only and that absolutely did not work.

Spy X Family ep 30 This show is just "you naughty Anya " for every episode. That's OK I guess. Rickert has returned.

The gameplay of Disco Elysium is just rng dice rolls against checks, barring presentation that's exactly the kind of stuff that goes on with other RPGs that use character skills more than player skills to determine success. It's a RPG, a damn fine one. As an annoying David Lynch fan, I will always crank up Inland Empire. To tie this to the thread topic, I think BG3 is a distant second to Disco Elysium in terms of non-combat gameplay (much of the distance because Act 3, which swerves so much into combat encounters it's almost shocking) and both are the only (recent) games I can think of where failing at checks is entertaining as opposed to just losing. I think pretty much any RPG with the implementation of skills and rng based success would be served well with greater focus on making the dialogue actual gameplay instead of "pass the diplomacy check or fight" like the Owlfinder games or NWN2. Also more talking animals or inanimate objects please.

I definitely think the attempts to tie anti-Zionism and anti-semitism together are definitely going to fuel the latter as Israel's actions become more indefensible. But I have some hope that the efforts of anti-zionist Jews attempting to disentangle Zionism from Judaism is going to bear some fruit in people differentiating the state of Israel from Jews as a whole. Just anecdotally but I have seen a consistent push against anti-semitism by folks showing solidarity with Palestinians, with it being made clear the issue is settler-colonialism and not Judaism in what's wrong with Israel, and anti-semites like blue check dip****s or provocateurs not having much of a space in the actions. That's more than I can say about a lot of defenders of Israel, who do not seem to have a problem with some of the most repugnant ghouls making common cause with them. I don't want to draw you back in against your will, so feel free to just see this as bouncing off a sound board.

You shouldn't need booze to get HARDCORE TO THE MEGA.

Sometimes I think the pre-exam supplements are just medical professionals ****ing with us.

In terms of gameplay I think that Disco Elysium is fine. It's a good move for a game this narrative focused to make the talking and all that the gameplay instead of slapping on some mediocre at best combat between chapters of text, like both of the Torment games, but the downside is that if you aren't hooked by the detective work or aren't very interested in the world you're going to check out. "You can now read the recipe for the Emperor's favourite soup." Finally.

I think that BG3's relative simplicity is built into it by the 5e ruleset. If there was a AAA Pathfinder (not Owlcat, because they said they can't balance a game where you can't jack up the numbers by 10+) or PoE 3 (because Sawyer loves his maths) then those would be a lot more complex by design. Imo some of the hard-core aspects of BG3 were the least fun, like weight limits and food. You could play around them without issue but they just added tedium to the game. I want to focus on fighting enemies, not the UI. I love it.

Sympathy for the Devil (2023) Nic Cage with a Boston accent kidnaps a guy. So if you like Cage going all out then you'll probably like this film. Joel Kinnaman is a good counterpoint to Cage for most of the film, the straight man who is trapped with this absolute maniac. It's violent and pretty, there's mystery, and as said Nic Cage chews scenery for almost the whole film.

Pretty interesting, and I do enjoy listening to Irish accents to boot. Just my own anecdotal evidence here but I've seen tiktok addled zoomers who have never played a rpg before get real interested in the genre (both pnp and vidya) after BG3 dropped because of **** like Karlach dancing or His Majesty getting them in the door. I think BG3 is proving that these games can have some mass appeal if done well (and having really wild **** like the bear sex), so I'd hope that more AAA rpgs like it get a shot. If you're listening Microsoft, give Josh Sawyer a quarter of what you lit on fire to make ****field and you will have your own BG3.

So for the main story it's Tokyo Ghoul, with √A being s2 and re being s3-4. Jack is a prequel and pinto is a one-shot. I don't know, I've never seen any explanation within any anime or about anime from creators or community. It does look weird and within anime I think the black or decorated eye patches look better than the eye mask/diaper.

Tokyo Ghoul s1 It's pretty good, sort of straddles the line between a shonen and a sienen. It's much better when it hews close to the latter and almost gets into Evangelion territory with the final episode, but it doesn't feel as embarrassing to watch as something like Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood's silly aspects.

Probably. Hopefully.

Malnazidos (2022) - a zombie film set in the Spanish Civil War. It's good for what it is, a tight action flick that dips toes into horror but doesn't really go all the way with it. It works better here than in the many other zombie movies or 100000 Walking Dead spin-offs. I also watched an anthology horror movie that was Christmas themed. It was forgettable enough that I can't remember the name. Tell your brain to stop being naughty.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/5d9jqx/israel-gaza-leak-displacement-nakba?utm_source=vicenewstwitter That's not good.

I think it's more like Russia's marketing, Israel is invoking the Nazis while saying they have to "denazify" Gaza as self-defense, and nevermind the last 75 years. On social media though it's obvious they've got a millennial tumblr girl to take over their account. I think that alone is losing them the online propaganda battle, because everyone hates smol bean posting and Harry Potter.
