Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Well, well... this REALLY is a thread that you can't stay away from for more than a day, or else it would seem like a large part of the known universe has gone down the drain, and almost no one can make heads or tails of it...

Organics, weird fermented bean trash and the ever-enduring pineapple debacle.
I like mine gently frozen, with a fresh topping of finely shaved ice, making it look like a snow cap:
Alpine Apple...

@Link-Hero Of course, it also depends on how you interpret "uncanny". Some people immediately associate that with something scary or frightening, but I'm not easily scared, and there's very little that freaks me out, so for me, it just represents something looking really "off", and that makes it weird.

And in the case of those early Tekken CGI efforts, the end result was so plasticky fake and so far removed from the realism that it probably tried to achieve, that it became exactly that kind of weird to me.

So... you're channeling our boi Matter now?

@ThanosReXXX https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/standed if it has a wikitionary page, I can use it

Anyway, yes, mistakes. I make them too. That's why most of my comments are edited.

@Delibheel That was probably one of the most, if not THE most bare bones Wikipedia pages that I've ever seen. And I don't fully trust an encyclopedia that can be edited by Joe Average, unless it cites academic sources...

@ThanosReXXX It's not Wikipedia, it's Wikitionary; an online dictionary.

@Octane Ah.. my bad.
Talking about dictionaries, though: better lose that extra 'i' after the 'k'...

I'll have you know that Joe Average actually has tenure as an English professor.

He's just very humble and doesn't like putting the title before the name.

GameXplain has posted their Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn review.
The extra Meta Knight and DeDeDe games are fun but pretty zhort with only 4 levels each, and the added abilities feel kinda out of place, according to them. Devilish mode is nice but if you die, you have the restart the whole level, which can be frustrating (something I noticed while playing the demo).

Still, I really want to get it. It's a great game for playing on the go. (though the Wii version has the advantage of higher resolution)

And in weird tech news, USB 4.0 is officially a thing now! The sad thing is, though, that the the traditional "Type-A" connector is going away with it. All Type-C from now on.

I still need to grab the demo for Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. I can't believe it's coming out already!

Also, that pizza better not be from Little Caesars.

Seriously it's no joke. We bought it from my co-worker and i couldn't believe how much better it was than the actual little Caesar's storefronts

I third that. Although, I am (jokingly) completely against Papa Murphy’s by principal of having to buy a pizza from a pizza restaurant, only to cook it at home, with no reduction of cost.

Fast food pizza sucks. Especially where I live they screw em up every time. We've reverted to making our own with store bought crust and it tastes so much better. I wish I lived in NY, Chicago, or some place known for Pizza with real restaurants. That would be so nice.

I fourth that lol. To be fair, the pizzas that you actually call in and order at Little Caesars aren't bad, but the hot-n-ready premade ones are pretty meh.

I'm familiar with the concept of Papa Murphy's (ads) but have never been to one. They're a bit of a drive. XD

Real talk though, the deep dish is actually good. I like their deep dish and jets deep dish for chain style pizza. I barely order that stuff though. I live outside of Chicago and there's so much more out there to get it's not worth wasting money on those places in all honesty. The mom and pop pizza joints are always the best..

I'll still eat almost any pizza I can get my hands on. XD Particularly when one is starving. If it didn't cost money, I'd likely eat it every day of the week.

Mom and pop joints are indeed the best IMO. A couple of them in the nearby town are amazing, but my favorite place is about a forty minute drive from where I live. The latter is a bit pricey (particularly their full buffet night on Fridays) but is worth every penny.

@ReaderRagfihs I'm in the same mindset, it would truly have to be really terrible for me NOT to eat it. And after a few brews, it's anyone's game really 😁.

We have a place called Your Pie, and it’s a pretty cool franchise. We have a Mellow Mushroom, too. Both have brick oven pizza and it’s gud

When I was younger I remember the next town over had a Little Caesars (now gone) and the one time I ate there I remember it being the best pizza I had had up to that point.

By the time I saw a Little Caesars again several years later, they were all exclusively of the hot and ready variety.

In Arizona there's a pizza place we tend to visit every year called Mama's Pizza, and they make ginormous pizzas. A single slice is probably like half a regular pizza.

Edit: Well in other news, turns out knitting for over 6 hours straight is bad for your hands. Gonna let them rest for a bit.

That’s how it is for anything that involves working the hands.
