conspiracy theory". (The character this belongs to is, funnily enough, actually Batman-cosplaying-detective and hilariously bad at both being a detective and pretending not to be Batman, though that's the point and he'll probably just go back to being Batman after sorting out a few snags)

Since a friend was talking about noir mystery tropes wondering where this string corkboard thing comes from, have seen one meme about it (with the demented Einstein-hair dude with the marker) but feel like there's more to it than that? Though maybe it's just shorthand for "excessively convoluted >>

Also as much as I may complain about the lack of proper curry/gyuudon joints here ramen appears to have stuck, possibly because "soup noodles" is reasonably self-explanatory to people unfamiliar with JP cuisine. Price aside the options are fairly good.

1. Go to doctor appointment 2. Pick up meds 3. Ramen shop in the same parking lot so naturally, ramen Also was amused to note they were playing the Frieren anime opening in the restaurant at one point. Also fall is best season.

>Read Bsky >Trending: "Twatwaffle says..." Nope, not reading. One of the worst things of the last decade from a media POV is forcing so many people to pay attention to some of the worst people in the world and I'm not doing that.

Their parents had very firm ideas about what they wanted their kid to do in life.

Also it's great that the player avatar is largely irrelevant meaning the protagonists can actually be real protagonists instead of having to fight for plot relevance with potato-kun. Also hilarious that the relationship values thing became, well, this😂

1. I guess this guy hails from a game where merchants drop their inventory when defeated 2. not!Alucard is so chuuni cringe it's almost cute 3. Gun mages are awesome

Fair. I once had a coworker, who when presented with a task to translate AI-generated meeting notes, basically said they were going to use machine translation because the source obviously didn't care about quality so why should they?

The question here is if you asked your boss (or whoever is giving you this task) if they would want you to use AI to do this what would their response be?

AKA "your campaign book specified mystery/intrigue but all your players made combat munchkins so they're essentially Batman cosplaying detectives"

1. Cafeteria menu: "Octoberfest Sausage Fest" 2. 'Err that name is a bit..." 3. "Well yeah the second "fest" is redundant" 4. "No that's not what I mean" 5. "...oh" Brain is wired more for linguistic jokes than slightly lewd slang I guess. Also whole not a fan of hard pretzels soft ones are nice >>

"Have you thought about figuring out what this boss actually does?" No, because it's "use these characters you don't have/want" and was a huge PITA when first introduced. Now, however, what it's going to do is melt into goo before the end of the first turn. Petty spite is a powerful motivator.

1. Is this really something you want to be picking up? 2. The system of needing Bond levels to recruit characters is useful in introducing these characters who aren't (yet, anyway) part of the main story 3. Tsundere ojosama apparently subscribes to every tsundere ojosama trope

are also cute and marketable, but the markup I assume from shipping and whatnot makes most things other than books extremely expensive compared to source prices. They do also carry cute pins from indie artists though. Also as peach season is over I guess it's back to bananas🍌

The Hong Kong cafe in downtown actually has a lot of good menu options including an amazing chicken curry but since I don't go there all that often wemt with the noodles this time. Also hit up Kino and it's nice that the random gachapon makers have clued in on the fact that, like cats, mushrooms >>

STARCRAFT Official Trailer (2030)

Coworker: Sorry can you explain the question you want me to convey to our customers in extremely simple terms because I just spent an hour and a half wrangling with my timesheet in the new system and my brain is fried It's one of "those" Fridays.

emotional dependence in their players for $$$ and so my reaction to all their bad publicity is very /popcorn)

(Despite being "into" various media like games and anime and whatever I do believe that it's possible to have an unhealthy about of obsession/devotion to your fictional interests and the stuff surrounding this game feels like the natural consequence of purposely encouraging obsessive >>

Infold Shares Toxic Love and Deepspace Drink Recipes on Social Media

I have no interest whatsoever in playing this game but the secondhand drama surrounding it is really the gift that keeps on giving🤣 www.siliconera.com/infold-share...

Tangentially related: Wish the Asian fast food chains for eg. gyuudon and curry would franchise more over here, even if the costs are the same the food itself is so much better. Would even take a proper konbini since konbini food in Japan or Taiwan is miles above "gas station sushi".

"MacDonald's uses AI to determine pricing based on how much customers are willing to pay" Ok so if my willingness to pay for fast food burgers is $0 do I get food for free?🤔

Mochi ice cream is a bit like xiaolongbao in that it has a short half-life window for optimal consumption, as the external mochi is hard if you eat it immediately after removing it from the freezer but if you wait too long the ice cream inside melts.

East Asian cities man, I need go to Taiwan again... 🤤

But of course this game has a mid-autumn festival event, and of course it involves making mooncakes 🥮

5. If you'd just said that in your original response message neither you nor I would have had to waste time playing with phones, just saying.

1. Message medical provider for refill on prescription 2. Get message back "we're looking into it also we tried to call you about this" 3. See voicemail about "please call us back" 4. Call back, wait on hold for 5 mins, turns out they wanted to confirm what medication I wanted

This cat has figured out that I don't have the bandwidth to wave her off when I'm in a meeting or on a call so the moment I start talking it's a signal for laptime

The downside is I often can't be arsed to label them properly and am then like ok did I put the background on "Layer 4", "Green", or "Srれｎmna"

>How many layers do you want? >>Yes. As I still remember the old days of Not Very Fancy Computers where using more than like 10 layers in a large PSD file would cause your computer to crash what I appreciate the most about modern computing is allowing me to have as many クリスタ layers as I want.

Went to T&T and apparently they believe that everything is better with salted egg yolk. Also not sure how kosher packaged tanghulu is but I guess we'll find out. Also went to Tofu 101 as I like their steamed buns and zhongzi better than the T&T ones, and store remained crowded as usual, ad with >

I'm surprised they chose to humor the nostalgia fans over potential new fans who've never watched and don't care about the OG movies cause they weren't even alive then. Even as someone who has I don't really care about that aspect anymore cause it's over and done with.
