Hey, here's a weird question. You know Vaporwave? What's the opinion on one of the core tenets of the genre being "use Japanese visuals" or just outright pretending to be Japanese? Cyberpunk does this a lot too I guess. Paradise Killer got me thinking about this because they have a few scenes where they use Japanese photography despite the fact that the devs are from the UK and I know they did it because of the "aesthetic"

Well, that's pretty clearly appropriation, but the whole point of that term wasn't meant to say that all cultural appropriation is even bad per se, but rather its something to be mindful of and can obviously be exploitative if used wrong.

So, with vaporwave yeah there's probably a bunch of people grabbing random kanji because they think it looks cool, and I think that's about as crass as like getting a kanji tattoo you can't read, its like a weeb thing. Embarrassing right? Not great.

But then obviously if the author is Japanese that changes everything, or if you've at least learned to speak fluent Japanese or lived there... so it kinda depends on a few aspects. Such is art.

In the 80s everyone thought japan was going to own america like how they think china will now so all the 80's based aesthetic movements, especially the tech/game adjacent ones where japanese corps were owning americans, have a lot of japanese elements

I'll never forgive Taco Bell for removing the Double Decker Taco

That thing was simple, cheap, and delicious

Technically you can still order it if you get a burrito and a taco and ask them to wrap it but I feel like a jerk trying to order off the secret menu or whatever
Taco bell employees aren't paid enough for all that

The only thing Taco Bell has left that I actually enjoy is the Doritos Locos Gordita, which is just cheesy gordita crunch bread around the Dorito taco, and without all the cheese sauce which I've always thought was too much. It's loving 3.50 though so I only rarely get it, and by now I haven't been there since March.

KFC here in Aus used to do a Stacker Burger, which was just a Zinger with a Hashbrown on it. It was really good and tasty for when you wanted to be a Fat gently caress.
Then they stopped making it.

Then they brought it back and now it's just 2x Zingers.
Fuckers.

Worked on some pizza dough tonight and I hope things are going to be OK with it.

I've done this quite a few times already and so I thought it would be pretty straightforward - measured out the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast, with 65% the mass of the flour in water.

Even after working it for a few minutes I could not get it out of the bowl because it was still complete mush, and I had to keep adding flour just to get it out and basically constantly while kneading it otherwise the whole thing would stick even if I tapped it for a millisecond.

I weighed the dough when I was done and I must have doubled the amount of flour in it before it felt like previous doughs, which would put me at an alarming 33% hydration? I have no clue what happened

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.

Why? Just kinda curious, I thought it was a pretty solid new direction to take the series in.

Australia lacks a really lovely, cheap Mexican fast food place. We have one but it has vague notions of being healthy and restaurant-y. We even got a few taco bells now but it’s basically the same.

I want to relive the experience of spending 12 American Dollars at a Taco Bell near warner Bros studio and getting six different menu items coated in fucjed up queso that gave me mondo diarrhoea.

The first person didn't really work for me, the enemy options were bad, the combat unsatisfying in a poor feedback kind of way, and the VHS tapes were basically unskippable cutscenes. This all could have been forgiven but the second the cat and mouse with Jack happened I immediately lost interest in the game and then when I got the second family member and saw there would be more I just quit never to go back.

Also it features a basement in Louisiana so all the points it earns for accurate local potato chip bags is right out the window.

The VHS tapes are technically optional. Not quite sure what you mean by “I got the second family member” though, Jack is the only one who does cat & mouse stuff. There’s a brief part with the mom but you can just blast her until she fucks off and turns into a boss.

RE7 is a big change of pace but it’s easily one of my favorite games in the series. You should probably give it another shot, because it sounds like you got the wrong impression from something later in the game. After Jack gets chainsawed to the point of exploding in half there’s no more cat and mouse/Nemesis type stuff for the rest of the game.

And End of Zoe is hilariously fun, even if Not A Hero is kind of bleh and the Banned Footage is entirely skippable.
