I think the difference is in knowing something is supposed to be a one-shot thing and knowing something was supposed to be an ongoing thing but got clipped before it could finish. I love the former and find the later is usually half-finished or with a very awkward landing. While moving away from TV that was designed to be perpetual and towards more contained stories has generally been a good thing, I think that shows that are planning on at least a few seasons to tell their stories are in an awkward place with at least two platforms being very unreliable homes for such things. Imagine if Breaking Bad had ended right at Season 3 or if Steven Universe had ended right in the middle, that's what Netflix is doing to a lot of shows....if they even get that far. Netflix is curating a library of unfinished works while also training people not to give a **** about most of their stuff.

That's not a mixture I'd associate with protein man. Not bad, but a far cry from the protein centric diet I imagined back when you were talking about the price of eggs. You've made a mockery of obsidianstalking.txt -

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part 6

Trickster playthrough is finished. Like the Azata, it definitely feels like it fizzled out in act 5, but even the act 4 quest felt lacking for Trickster. Also like Azata, the regular ending was more enjoyable for me than the sekrit ending. There is a lot of missed opportunity, and I think going more into fey stuff would have been a welcome change than being an errand boy or girl for a perverted man mad that his ex left him. Still a fun path though. let's see if the software works now -

Around here it's more like x2, if we're talking about price. Because of that I usually settle for just the bone in. Not as fancy as a tomahawk, but it's better than the boneless cut. -

I would cry too. Ribeye is probably my favorite steak, bone on if possible, medium rare seasoned with salt and pepper, hit with a bit of butter after it's done. -

I've never had Peruvian ceviche and after reading up on it, I've made the very hard decision not to change that. Mexican ceviche is damn good though, damn good. I'll say that in terms of preference, I'd go for Vietnamese (Viet-Cajun, which as far as I can tell is a Houston thing, is insane top tier) because ca phe sua da is great, but really as long as the ingredients are good most of that cuisine appeals to me. I have a stomach of iron and my taste in food is a lot like my taste in cinema, so you can factor that in as well. It's great, the goop absorbs all of the spice from the boil and it can be like getting kicked in the mouth. But the tails are where it's at at the end of the day, and you can't go wrong with etouffee or gumbo. You can eat the soft shell whole, I don't have it too much because it's usually expensive but fried is really good. I see your hater game truly is vast. Even if I think that's bad, I got to respect the game. Honestly, while I love steak, smoked brisket is my personal favorite way to eat beef followed closely by smoked beef ribs. -

Sashimi and ceviche are both great though. Stop being naughty. -

How naughty I didn't like shrimp too much growing up because my mom had a tendency to underseason and overcook so they tasted terribly. Now I love shrimp and eat them regularly (especially shrimp and grits), but I would rather not eat my mom's boiled shrimp ever again. For my money crawfish are the best seafood, especially tossed in some garlic butter Viet-Cajun style. Boil them in some heavily seasoned spicy water and then hit them with some garlic butter to bring out the flavor in the spice. I love having a few pounds of them and sweating like a damn pig as my body gets bombarded with spicy goodness. Maybe if lobster was cooked like that instead of just in salt I'd like it better, but imo lobster is overrated and I'd prefer a steak instead for the price. But the worst seafood for me is probably scallops. I despise the texture and it ruins them for me. Not usually a fan of squid or octopus either, but that probably has more to do with me being freaked out by tentacles than the food itself. -
Random video game news... RNG 4 EVA

If the press release is accurate, they've already got 6 other publishers to jump on. On one hand, I love seeing corporate behemoths blow their feet off with obviously dumb and/or malicious acts that predictably bite them in the ass. On the other, Hasbro has THE brand name for ttrpgs, a movie and a big game in the pipeline, and media promotion via stuff like Stranger Things......so I can see them rolling away from this without much issue. -
Banshees of Inisherin (2022) One of the best movies of last year, a tragic comedy that shows how an act of petty cruelty can ruin everyone. Absolutely beautiful scenery and the background of the Irish Civil War is used to great effect. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) Much like Goodfellas and Casino, but both funnier and scarier. The scary mostly comes from thinking on how such dip****s can end up wielding such power by several strokes of luck, which is timely given Elon Musk's post-divorce meltdown.

I was much the same, I suppose I overestimated both Russia's political savvy and their military competence. While Russia could still end up winning the conflict (at a massive cost that could be potentially crippling), the outcome I'd bet on is that this war is to Russia what the Vietnam War is to the US.

First of all, you naughty [insert image of cenobite grinning or gaping maw of an eldritch abomination] Secondly.....I don't know if I'd reccomend it to you. It's a beautiful film and ranks among the best things from 2022 for me but in your case.....one of the major characters is explicitly unlikeable and the development of Farrell's Padraic may turn you off. Maybe if you're in the mood for a tragedy.

I think I may have had it early in 2020 (before March early), but I didn't get really sick from it until last year. Suffice to say there wasn't any doubt this time and that time. That's good. Well not good but better than the alternatives. -

It seems like there's a wave going on here, last time I was out it seemed like half of people were coughing. Hope you sail through ok. -

I've beat the rona for the 2nd or 3rd time and it was a miserable experience. Happy to say that I am able to focus on something without a blistering headache for the first time in a week.
