    A Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase will air this week

    From the Atlus website. I'm still not sure if this is SMT V Plus, or something more akin to SMT IV: Apocalypse . Either way, I'm cautiously excited. Edit There's a Livestream Atlus SEA is doing going over what the title is, and the differences between the base game and this one. It IS the...

    Feedback Does anyone else miss when game consoles were designed like chonky bricks?

    Not necessarily "chunky" consoles...but I do miss being able to place my console inside of my entertainment system and it not sticking out (physically or design wise) from the rest of my set boxes. Of course, all of those DVD/sound system/audio/video boxes have since been replaced by the TV...

    What fast food or snack item that has been discontinued do you miss the most?

    I haven't eaten fast food in quite some time, but the last time I did it was my favorite - the Dairy Queen "Flamethrower" Burger. Turns out they changed the burger from whatever it was before to a breakfast-sausage tasting patty - the "stack burger." They're super salty, kinda dry, and spongy...

    How old were you when you actually understood politics enough to choose a party or affiliation?

    My parents were on opposite sides of the voting spectrum, came from two radically different places, and had two drastically different upbringings. They kind of abandoned most of that when they had us, picked it back up right before Gore/Bush, and then dropped it again around 2018. They were...

    What normal stuff do you buy that you will only purchase the brand-name or high quality version of, no matter the price?

    Anything that has to do with long term health I'll usually spend the premium on. I spent almost $6k on my sleep set up (Sleep Number mattress with an adjustable frame, cooling and heated blankets/toppers and a few smaller accessories), and my work-from-home chair/standing desk combination was a...

    opinions on teaching about lgbtq+ in school

    Just want to point out - I've taught in a few different states, one of them being very red and another overwhelmingly blue - no one I've encountered or worked with has "thought" this. There's some interesting correlations that can retroactively be made, certainly, but no one is arguing that 1+1...

    opinions on teaching about lgbtq+ in school

    I can't speak for teachers everywhere, but I can speak towards my own personal experiences. No specific topic is "banned" in my classroom; anyone is allowed to discuss what they like (after our class wrap up time), so long as they follow the rules we have posted on our door (namely not to talk...

    Nintendo Direct - September 14, 2023 - Princess Peach: Showtime gets new trailer, Mario vs D.K. remake announced

    I actually quite enjoyed that! Unicorn Overlord (weird name?) looks really cool - it reminds me of the old STING RPGs. I recently played through Thousand Year Door using a HD texture pack, but any excuse to play Paper Mario again is good in my books. Mario vs DK and Another Code is pretty...

    The Best Bread In The World 2023

    I went to an event in New Haven, CT that Bruegger's catered. I only tried the everything bagel, but it tasted pretty similar. It had a similar off putting taste that I'm not fond of. In fact, most "NYC-like" bagels I've eaten had a similar taste, which I'm assuming is the malt they add. They...

    The Best Bread In The World 2023

    I can't stand bagels in/from New York City. There's this weird "funk" to them (that everyone seems to love) that's just repulsive to me. Supposedly it's the water and barley malt they use that gives them that defining taste, but to me it tastes like someone ate a bag of mixed nuts and then...

    Do you think using Save States is allowed in Retro Games in today's meta?

    I've gotten to a point in my life where I do whatever I can to enjoy the game with the limited amount of time I have to spare for it. Whether that's using save states, leaving the game running, unlocking all of the content with a save file - whatever makes the game a more enjoyable experience...

    How does one learn to invest in stock market?

    I use Fidelity for my casual trading. They have a pretty good information repository in their app, with classes and videos and the like to walk through the basics of trading. I already had a pretty firm grasp going in, but I know some of my friends have learned through their resources and found...

    The Last Of US (TV) fans are calling controversial Episode 3 best television episode ever

    One of my dissertations was on phobia! Both you and holypuma are correct! While phobia can refer to a strong, irrational fear and/or physical/psychological response to something (hydrophobia/aquaphobia), the world itself can also mean a strong aversion against something (such as hydrophobic). In...

    6 year old shoots teacher

    Our Board of Ed has been all over the place these past few years; every time a shooting happens (that garners attention in the news and local parenting communities..), we get called into a "brain storming" zoom meeting about preventing situations like this from happening in our district...

    Black Panther 2 - Wakanda Forever

    I'm actually really looking forward to this movie. I think the jump from Atlantean to Mesoamerican is an interesting one, and I really dig the aesthetic. I know he has the winged boots in the comics, but they've always looked lame - it would've been cool if they redesigned them to go with...
