My guess is that the time machine would be a Pontiac Grand Am.

Ew, a chin?

As long as they keep and use hand sanitizer before they touch anything, it’s whatever. Actually, the hand sanitizer would probably put a stop to it.
That said, I don’t think anyone would want to interact with that person if at all possible.

Not just movies. I recently noticed that a lot of games are getting remasters for a quick buck. I intended to play the whole Atelier Ryza series after I got the first one pretty cheap, but they delisted the original (2019) to sell the remaster at a higher price. I don’t know how old I want something to be before it’s redone, but it’s got to be longer than that.

BOston BAked beans.

You will put tomato’s, onion, and cheese on them
You mean you want your hash browns spanked, choked, and gagged?

Megaman Zero, so I’m awesome, but fucked.
- Comment on CAH at it again 5 weeks ago:
For the same reason they crowdfunded The Hole.
- Comment on Harry Potter star Bel Powley says she 'strongly disagrees' with JK Rowling's views 5 weeks ago:
Why is it that everyone associated with Harry Potter gets to be a star? There was a thread yesterday about whoever played Lavender Brown, and she also got called “Harry Potter Star,” even though nobody seemed to remember the character even being in the movies. There has to be a cutoff somewhere.
- Comment on Is Anon the asshole? 1 month ago:
Plus there are podcasts that use those subs for content, so people submit their “creative” writing to see if they can get featured.
- Comment on Mars Bar from the 1990s found during house clearance - shrinkflation in action 1 month ago:
Also, recipe blogs are a great source of information on shrinkflation. Going to the store to look for a package size that no longer exists is fun.
- Comment on Boy George pulled from West End performance run after releasing pro-Israel song 1 month ago:
Boy George was convicted of imprisoning an escort and beating him with a chain, so he probably feels a little of kinship with the invaders.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 1 month ago:
Holy shit, that’s more than the employee discount I got working in retail.

It’s load bearing.
- Comment on Anon orders food 1 month ago:
One of the food delivery apps labeled something “long distance delivery” at five miles. I could walk that. I didn’t, but I certainly didn’t pay someone else to drive it.
- Comment on Do americans living in Red States really despise american living in Blue States? 1 month ago:
I live in a purple (supposedly) state and my grandfather suggested at Christmas that crosses should be burned in the yards of people who had signs up for a black democratic politician. Had no fucking clue he was like that. Haven’t seen him since.
So it doesn’t have to be a blue state, I guess, is my answer.

Dignity and Grace are strippers. It’s actually a confession.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 month ago:
I do, and it’s not relevant to the conversation.

Adding the option is a change you’re asking to make to FromSoft’s pizza. That’s the point. It’s THEIR pizza. They don’t make a pizza with difficulty sliders. Aggro Crab and Spiders make difficulty slider pizza.

The hypothetical conversation with Sean Evans.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 month ago:
EXACTLY. What you’re missing is that you’re asking for alterations to someone else’s pizza rather than making your own or finding a different pizza.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 month ago:
Who said anything about a party or feeding anyone sauce? Playing the game is the option. I’m setting a goal for myself to get to that level. I’m getting the sauce for myself. I don’t need you to be part of the conversation.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 month ago:
Since I’ve seen your other reply, this got even funnier. “Do you think the entire point of pizza is sauce? What a fucking insult to cheese.”
“Pizza has sauce and cheese. People like pizza that has sauce and cheese.”
“I LOVE PIZZA, I JUST THINK PIZZA SHOULD HAVE LESS SAUCE! IT WON’T CHANGE THE PIZZA!”

That seems like a lot more work than just trying a new hobby.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 month ago:
The analogy doesn’t work because your philosophy clashes with someone else’s. My fun is from eating progressively spicier hot sauces to build a tolerance to capsaicin, until I can talk with Sean Evans about our opinions on General Satan’s Colon Evaporator. If you extracted the capsaicin from General Satan’s Colon Evaporator, it is no longer General Satan’s Colon Evaporator, and you can’t actually contribute to the conversation.
“Everybody” that plays in the NBA is literally on the same playing field. “Everybody” at a basketball convention likes basketball. But those are two very different groups of people.

There’s a lot of “you made your art wrong” in here. If you don’t have legs, you’re not going to be able to play soccer. You can make your own no-leg soccer if you want, but I’m just going to make an “ew” face at you if you say that soccer needs to change for you. Try arm wrestling!
The best argument against games (or any software) that don’t work for you is that you often can’t get refunds, and that’s a valid concern, but it has nothing to do with the content itself.

Sekiro bothered me, too, and I played all the Souls games. I got to the boss that wants you to jump and redirect lightning, and I stopped. I understand the philosophy behind making bosses unique, but it’s basically a QTE without the button prompt on the screen, and that’s not what I wanted from From. Also that weird fog that wants you to use consumables. I don’t do consumables.

Completely unrelated, ondansetron is what I’d expect to hear when Santa upgrades to robotic reindeer.

That’s fine, but it’s very far down the list of cities I’d expect to have a conversation or even hear about.

I don’t even think Chicago makes the list.
