JacquelineDempsey posted:That seems like the perfect ingredient for a Bloody Mary/Caesar. (Oh god I want a Bloody Mary now) When I was 5 or so I had one of those Baskin Robbins ice cream cones decorated to look like a clown. It was some sort of sherbet like flavor that I really liked, so I asked one of the employees what flavor it was. Daquiri Ice. A while later when my family was out at a restaurant I noticed they had daquiris on the menu so I asked the waitress for one because "daquiris are my favorite". Still my favorite flavor ice cream-like desert!

I haven't actually played Monopoly in something like a decade but the last time I did the free parking lottery was in the rules, to my surprise and dismay. Maybe board game nerds sent them enough angry letters since then that they've removed it? If so good on them, I guess.

So what's "the deal" with Peloton bikes anyway? It kind of seems like the exercise bike must have been perfected decades ago, are people just paying a premium for the internet of things to tell them "good job" or something?

zedprime posted:I never understood the Aloy ugly thing. HZD is one of the games I've most caught my self lasciviously staring during debates on which armor to use. It's hard to put my finger on but I did find her kind of weird looking, she has a weird sort of a Rufio from Hook vibe. Maybe her face is too big or expressive leading an uncanny valley sort of effect? I wouldn't say she's ugly but I get it when people aren't totally on board with her design.

steinrokkan posted:Does anyone really measure salt up to a minute amout? Salt really is something that is up to one's preference, and the old adage of "add salt to taste" applies. I've definitely had recipes ruined because apparently diamond kosher salt is such a "default" choice for internet chefs that they'll just list it as "salt" even though it's something like 50% less salt in a tablespoon than regular table salt.

My mom was actually a great cook by boomer standards but she also basically never used salt. It was a genuine epiphany when I realized there really was one big single reason that restaurant food tasted way better than my cooking.

mllaneza posted:The serial killer schtick in the Prequel reviews served two primary purposes. One, an openly brutal mockery of the Star Wars fans who take it too seriously. Second, to show that they can write and produce a deeper relationship than Lucas did. That's them deflecting the expected criticism a lot of critics get - they can critique but not create. They're making an overly long and detailed breakdown of the latest entries in a beloved film series, they were always going to get a lot of flack no matter how they presented it. It was a failure on both counts, it just made them look like hacks and turned people off of the videos.

RagnarokAngel posted:Im not sure you can say they turned people off. They were never going to grab everyone but they were wildly successful for good or for ill. I mean for years you basically couldn't discuss the prequels without someone basically copying their arguments word for word like it was their own idea (this actually isn't a good thing just trying to emphasize how drat popular they were). And every time someone brought up the reviews you'd have people ragging on the rape dungeon bit (see: this discussion). They were successful in spite of it.

My dad worked on a (non-Hollywood) movie that Cruise was in. He and the other staff (like 10-15 people) were invited to the premier but told they couldn't bring their families because it would disturb Cruise's family. This was such a weird, insulting thing to say that they literally all boycotted it.

The whole roadmap thing is just inherent to games as a service. They can't make content as fast as you can play it, so it's just a way of showing that they've got more stuff planned once you finish the current stuff. Whether the game launches with enough content or adds it at a quick enough pace or fails and gets shut down are separate issues. That said I'm not really a fan of games a service in general, they quickly end up feeling more like a work than fun. See also: battle passes.

Schubalts posted:To add to this, the raid developers on Wildstar would actually shadow raids and if they saw a clear that they didn't like, they'd patch the boss so that method would become impossible. The boss nerfs only came about when they became absolutely desperate for any playerbase to stick around, and even then they were smug pricks about it. I think part of this is because the game launched with 2 raids, a 20 player raid and a 40 player raid. You had to beat the 20 to access (and gear for) the 40, but the 40 was actually extremely incomplete for months after the game's launch (for all I know it was never completed). So they tried to hide this by intentionally making bosses impossible, and then buffing them if anyone found away around them. Also lol 40 player raid
