"Oh, these collard greens can’t be THAT bad, if they know enough to put ham hocks in the pot! I can trust these hipster White folks with my collards. How much could they f@#% it up with ham hocks in there?! "

Idle Thumbs 240: Mikami's Iconic Hat
Bjorn replied to Chris's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
This was a super delightful episode, I like the occasional break when it's just a couple of people to mix things up. -
The thing of it is, I suspect any number of these fuckos would still be bitter, angry sexists even if they were getting laid.

I've generally found that I quite enjoy chatting with former/current service members, and abhor chatting with people who need to wear their "pro-military" feelings on a t-shirt even though they never served.

Official Giant Bomb Thread Mostly for Complaining About Dan

See, and I almost used the tiny taco salad as a reason that they feel very off to me. If I want a taco salad, I'll make a taco salad! If I want a taco, I want a taco! -

Those don't look like they would have near the tactile satisfaction that a traditionally shaped taco would have. -
If you brush too hard, you can wear down the enamel on your teeth, I have that problem even brushing twice a day. SAM, if you're going to take up regular coffee drinking, I do suggest either brushing, or at least rinsing your mouth with a bit of water after each cup. I'm a very heavy coffee drinker, and have to get my teeth cleaned at least twice a year because of it. I also seem to have teeth that are prone to staining, the lady drinks just as much coffee as I do, and doesn't have near the issue.

Yeah, it feels like an advertising/communication problem. It's weird to see a game launch with that long of a list of DLC, for that much cost. Not everyone is going to immediately know that it's been out for awhile on another platform.

If I have some good nacho cheese on hand, I just wrap the hard shell in a soft shell and coat the inside of the soft shell with nacho cheese. Mmmmmm.....so good. And even without that, when you're done, you just have a little pile of some meat, a few crumble taco shell parts, a bit of lettuce and tomato. You scoop it all together with a fork and eat it, and it's still nummy! It's like having a bonus round of taco after you eat your taco. -
I'd previously seen the Warframe community praised in a similar way to the Destiny community (even with built in text chat, I've so far had almost universally positive experiences). So I think it is a pretty good community, but good lord, make some changes to a game and see the torches and pitchforks come out.

There's no such thing as shitty nachos, so that's like, mathematical proof that hard shell tacos are good. -
The Business Side of Video (Space) Games EXCLUSIVELY ON IDLE THUMBS

Yep! It's gonna be a multi-hundred dollar package to own the complete FF7 remake experience (whether or not that can possibly be worth it...well, time will tell). -

Hard shell tacos are the best tacos. Soft shell tacos are just wannabe burritos. Tacos are probably one of our most common lunches we throw together (fast and tasty). This is a complaint that gets leveled at TexMex/Mexican food, and always bugs me. Like, most generic food categories are that way. A burger joint is using the same few ingredients for most of their meals. An italian joint is using the same handful of ingredients for most of their dishes. Pizza, same. Fried chicken, same. BBQ, same. -

Huh, they sent a clarification to Kotaku that: That sounds less episodic and more like the FFXIII plan of having multiple games in the same time/universe. They've also got the spinoff games that could be rolled (even partially) into the main game. -
I don't really visit any gaming related forums other than this one anymore, other than maybe seeking out some specific troubleshooting info about a PC game or something or checking some Reddit threads during events. But a big update to Warframe came out last week, and that got me browsing their forums, and holy fuck I had kind of forgotten what a bunch of whiny, entitled cry babies gamers can be.

$10 if you're lucky, there are plenty of their games that started off priced at $15 plus. I'm with JonCole in hoping they completely re-imagine the flow/pacing of the game, but I don't have much hope for that. -
Valve is happy to announce Half Life: 3 Questions! The only Half Life trivia game officially sanctioned by Gabe Newell!

Finn is so cute! And welcome back, can't wait for the new 'cast to start, and it's exciting that things are going so well for you in NY!

They're just gonna rebrand and call the new game "Gordon". Also, spoilers for people who didn't notice.

Since Idle Weekend doesn't have it's own subforum yet, I'll just create this thread for now. It's coming...soonish? This weekend? Next weekend? The only question I have right now is "When is it starting?"
-
I didn't realize that was like a $60+ package with the included DLC. If I cared about CoH2, I'd be really excited (I know nothing about CoH2, should I be excited?).
-
I think too few games really double down on just exploring a small, finite space. The camp worked great. Costume Quest also limited its action to just a few neighborhoods around the kids' house. I'd rather have a neighborhood than a city, a camp than a forest.

Yeah, this one was a bit more miss for me than the previous one, but it still had two games on it that were already on my Wishlist, and I didn't previously own any of them, so it was still a good deal. Banished (been curious about this one, but not enough to buy it) Rust (meh, I don't get into these games, but since I own it, might at least fire it up) PayDay 2 (would be super excited if not for the recent news about it) Neon Struct (fuck yeah, been super curious about this one) Chroma Squad (tactical RPG based on Power Rangers, been curious about it as well) Company of Heroes 2 (meh, don't really care)

Bloodborne (Dark Souls 2 successor (Dark Souls successor (Demon's Souls successor)))
Bjorn replied to melmer's topic in Video Gaming
On my second playthrough, Eileen met with an unfortunate end during her first duel, which allowed me access to her blades early on. The whip is pretty underwhelming to start with, but isn't terrible once it's upgraded and you understand that it's two forms have different bonuses versus different enemies. I never finished that playthrough, so I never played around with the Burial Blade to see how it fared. But, the real treat for me on that playthrough was the Reiterpallasch (which can had fairly early). Normal physical gems buff it's pistol shot and fire paper buffs both the sword and pistol (unless that's been patched out, but I'd hope not). It also means you can carry a non-gun weapon in the left hand, like the flamesprayer, which gives you instant access to three types of attacks, which can be fun and different. -
:tup: :tup: I'm sure at some point I've at least covered the basics of the lady and I's long distance period. There is the potential for good, as well as the bad, with long distance. Sometimes we even wax nostalgic about our late night, multi-hour phone calls and how ridiculously fucking excited we would get about trips to see each other. I wouldn't want to go through it again, but I would if it were necessary.
