Which user would you go on a date with?

[medisinn]

Bros why are takis so good

What flavor? I'm partial to Dragon Sweet Chili myself. There's a local grocery store that often has the big bags for 2 bucks, and I don't want to lose money by not getting one, you know?

Had to order a new Saturn A/V cable, once that gets in I just got a Saroo and am ready to dive into all things Saturn. I bought this Saturn used from my local game rental store as a kid 25-ish years ago and didn't have a memory card, so I could never save my progress in Magic Carpet. Virtual Fighter 2 and Sonic 3D Blast are the only other Saturn games I've played, so I am quite the noob when it comes to the library.

Those sweet chili one's are pretty great too. I'm one of those people that can put sweet chili sauce on nearly everything though.

Probably the healthiest way to go about it tbh

I wish I had something interesting to post, today, but I've just spent the last hour watching Ren & Stimpy clips on YouTube. I could watch (the good parts of) that show a million times + APC and never get bored of it.

Something that makes me really sad, though, is how expensive all the books I want are. :(

Dreadful. I might actually have to resort to... gulp... reading some of the books I already own. What a tsundoku I am.

In other book-related news, I'm about 3/4s of the way through Ryan Graudin's The Walled City, and I've been really enjoying it! I'm going to post a full review of it in the "What are you reading?" thread when I'm done, but for now I'll just say that I've devoured about 350 pages of it in like 3 days. Thumbs up from Gorse (UNLESS THE ENDING SUCKS)!

Thanks for teaching me a new word and gaining a new descriptor for myself.

I know the feeling man, a lot of the books I want are out of print so they go for like 80 or more online. I don't know if this is much of a chain where you are, but if you have any half-price books stores they've been a total godsend for me. (Also they carry retro games and comics too!)​

geniune question, could you not just find a .PDF file on the internet?, i know is not the same as a physical book, but the alternative is better.

 

[LiberoVulpesLiberoVulpes's icon]

You guys have it easy, i have to import books a lot to get the editions i want, yes the american and european stuff, not just the jap stuff.

I have become quite familiar with Amazon's import fees.

Depends on the book. I personally really hate reading novels this way, and those are often incredibly difficult to find .PDFs for online anyway. Comics and ttrpg rulebooks though, I have my sources for. Even still, I like having physical copies of the ones I like. I'm not gonna break the bank for it or anything though.​

Not condoning high seas activity, but have you tried using library genesis or the book links at fmhy.net ?

Admittedly LibGen is mainly for academic texts, but you can get loads of specific editions that way. Hell, one of my Prof's all but linked us in her class to the website herself so that we could find the references we needed.

Still, it's always good to support authors/creators, as long as there're channels available to do it.

FMHY DOT NET IS MENTIONED!!!!!

I've been using it since when it was just a Reddit sub!

I was rewatching the first season a few years ago and got really surprised how it's structured almost exactly like a typical anime. Like almost EXACTLY.

I'd watch a Scrubs anime.

Tuning into Fake Doctors, Real Friends where ZB and DF re-watched and reviewed each episode kept me sane during lockdown. Along with Enter Shikari's NiTaEiP album

I should really give it an actual rewatch.
I was obsessed with it when I was like 12 but I don't remember much and I imagine I'd appreciate it more as an adult. Even the goofy cartoony effects and sounds.

I collected all the boxsets over the years and my friends and I watched them religiously. Still one of my top 3 shows ever.

In that podcast I mentioned, they got cast members on, and the Director apologizes multiple times for jokes that may be deemed problematic today. I get why he felt the need to do that, but watching it at the time, I thought it was very clear it was just fantasy - Not an attempt at social commentary. I'm glad I can still just appreciate it for the early 2000's TV absurdist comedy/drama that it is.

Basically. A date-adjacent thread I suppose? Occasionally the topic comes up but not often.

Anyone a fan of Faygo? For the uninitiated, it's a regional soda from either Michigan or Ohio, mostly known for being the drink of choice of rap group Insane Clown Posse. They only have a handful of flavors here at one convenience store, but it was naturally all over the place back home in Michigan. It's not really that good, seems like it should be the same price as the knock-off soda brands, but it was always the same price as Pepsi and Coke. Occasionally I get one as a novelty if I see it. I suppose the same is true of ICP, once in a blue moon I'll listen to a handful of songs as a novelty. Definitely not a Juggalo but some of my friends back home were.

Faygo is very common in bumfuck Mississippi. 20oz bottles are about 89¢ to $1. They aren't terrible, but they are VERY sweet and still aren't as fizzy as major brands and nicer glass bottle sodas. They load them with sugar and THEN add artificial sweetener on top of that.

Same here in Missouri. Faygo is popular and everywhere. I can't really drink the stuff so I have no real opinion on it.
