misreading my own rant back to me was a real weird move, but you’re already searching for good chicken in a Burger King so I think we’ve established how one might be tricked into thinking chick-fil-a’s good

[–] self@awful.systems 8 points 1 year ago (7 children)

literally the one I recommended in my post?

why was your list of chicken places so bad by the way?

[–] self@awful.systems 13 points 1 year ago

listen I’m sure chicken has whatever this “flavor” thing is when you catch it, kill it, and fry it yourself, but until then I’m going with the only fast food chicken ever invented: Bigotry Filet

who the fuck said anything about a restaurant? go eat better fast food

no such luck :( I wish my local TCG scene was cooler!

the Chick-Fil-A streaming/entertainment app

the worst chicken place[*] has a fucking streaming app? of course it fucking does, chick-fil-a can’t fuck off

[*] if anyone replies to this to kneejerk slobber over chick-fil-a’s nasty fucking chicken: why. which part of it is good. it’s not the sauces or the brine or the breading and it’s definitely not some combination of all those things. why the fuck is this garbage fried chicken popular when literally every other choice is better. please for the love of fuck eat some Church’s or try a local place, you’ll discover the idea of flavor and it’ll astound you

The Cyberpunk 2020 supplement Rache Bartmoss' Brainware Blowout featured rules on using Netrunner cards instead of the RPG's existing system to simulate netrunning during game sessions.

also, I really need to grab this even though I don’t play Cyberpunk 2020, cause I’ve really wanted to adapt Netrunner into the decking mechanic for an RPG campaign

yes!!! it’s awesome!!! and it’s also interesting to trace its development from Garfield’s original vision of a game with MtG’s same gacha mechanics (and hacking/bluffing and economics rather than combat) but which never reached a critical mass of popularity, to Fantasy Flight’s version with the gacha mechanics scrubbed proving you can do a worthwhile MtG-style game without scarcity, to the current community-run game that’s entirely free

…but the game being free isn’t stopping my brain, raised on the Pokémon TCG, from wanting to impulse buy a print copy of the latest couple expansion packs. weird how that works

and I’m the only one I know who plays it too so reasonably I should just play jinteki (online multiplayer, also community run, also free) but the urge to buy cards isn’t reasonable

you’ll never trick me into talking about magic’s cooler brother

good luck! it sounds like you’re coming in remarkably well-prepared, so unless they’re gonna go fingers-in-ears (and it sounds like the PM’s better than that), you’re at least likely to make an impact

Unfortunately, so much of the literature is obscurantist on purpose

between this and all the SEO on OpenAI’s marketing horseshit and breathlessly parroted press releases, it’s exhausting to find good sources for how any of this stuff actually works in reality. shit, I’ve had old primary sources on things like Sora get buried after OpenAI’s promises didn’t pan out. I’m hoping you can find what you need — our back archives might have a few links if you haven’t searched through here yet.

“good thing I’ve never been addicted to a trading card game”, I vocalize, as I chain myself to the radiator so I don’t bring up my favorite non-magic TCG in this thread too

david gerard refuses to respond to my allegations that he wears an awesome trenchcoat and uses magic to trap his opponents in a realm where everything is made of the pages of a failed novela, and I think that says a lot
