Despite falling off TAZ hard after Balance ended I still enjoy a lot of McElroy content and lol at the old thread OP melting down and closing the thread. Griffin best brother, Travis is cringe, and Sydnee should not have yelled at the CBD guy.

Chick Fil A is fine. They have a signature sandwich that's tasty and iconic enough that everyone else is trying to copy them and expressing your politics through fast food choices is lame as hell.

Also no ethical consumption under capitalism anyway.

It's a bad probe IMO and while I appreciate the compliment the record will show i have never been an excellent poster anywhere. :v:

That said it's only a sixer so point taken.

Since the thread is the love zone i will say despite Travis being....so incredibly extra, when he hits it out of the park it's usually great. Ruin my box with crawdads, donut joke, the alf bit.

This is not a new point and has been brought up in this thread but I'll concede it.

If "soy" is a sixer and "retard" is 30 days where on the probation spectrum does "white trash" fall, mod?

Gotta post some live for Sawbones as its really the only McElroy content I listen to anymore (incidentally my introduction to the brand as well)

The past few episodes have been pretty good and the latest on thalidomide educated me on a drug that I had heard about but had no idea what it really was or what it did. Good podcast. That said "pregnant people" will never not sound weird to me especially when referring to things that happened on the 50s and 60s. Just say women.

Welp see I heaped praise on Sawbones and they went and did an episode on "Havana Syndrome." I haven't had a chance to listen to it but I hope they come to the conclusion it's made up in dumb dumb brains (hope that isn't too offensive)

I did laugh when Sydnee mentioned some people had reported long lasting effects like "getting occasional headaches and feeling tired sometimes"

on last page's subject of best ad reads, hey riddle riddle is doing a hellofresh ad this week, and they slipped in this line: "There was one caveat, my meal arrived with a busted onion. So I got in touch with Hellofresh and I let them know that onion busting was disgusting, and that they should at the very least acknowledge the onion."

i assume that they were still mid-sponsorship contract but that's probably burnt up now lol (although based on the hollywood handbook ads, there's a good chance they don't even listen beyond the very first sponsored ad)

I tried listening to the Besties around the time Cyberpunk came out and god were they awful about that game. Yeah, it didn't live up to the hype and it had a bugged release (the performance on last gen consoles is lol. Why even release it on last-gen at that point) but overall it was a solid game IMO. They completely trashed it and I'm convinced Ron Funches didn't even play the loving game because the criticism he kept coming back to was "too much South Park/GTA humor!" which....there isn't really that much of?

I am MAD ABOUT VIDEO GAMES AND PODCASTS THEREOF.

I slogged through Inscryption even though I don't like deck building games and I still don't like deck building games so I didn't much like Inscryption.

I say this just to balance out the myriad "I don't usually like card games, but..." takes you can find on the internet

but not every game has to be for everyone

Do you play/review games professionally? If so my condolences but if not I don't understand why one would "slog through" a game they don't enjoy in a genre they don't enjoy.

everyone was so hyped about all the secretive elements I thought it would be worth playing despite the parts that I don't like (most of it)

turns out that may have been the wrong call for me but it's hard to know until you've done it

That it's showing up on so many GOTY lists justifies my decision to play through it because otherwise I'd be wondering what I was missing out on. But I wish other games would be getting those goaties because Inscryption didn't bring me much joy.

I get that,

I'm so spoiled with choice now if a game doesn't grab me pretty quick I don't go back to it. I miss the days of being a kid and my parents would buy me a couple of games a year and if I asked for something lovely or I didn't care for it welp too bad had to play it until my next christmas.
