    The Fast Food Thread

    I hardly get fast food nowadays. Very rarely I'll grab Chick-fil-a since my kids will actually eat it. Otherwise, it's just too expensive and not good enough to justify getting nowadays. Sad because (as my name and avatar suggest) I used to dig it. Anyway, in the last couple weeks I went with my...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    The people who watch network TV slop like CSI Butthole Division and whatnot are the ones who watch this. For them, this is prestige television

    Lord of the Rings Online

    The later zones and expansions did a much better job of making standard leveling questlines interesting. The vanilla zones are full of "hero we are short on fur! Bring us bear fur!" types of things. Zoned added later like Before the Shadow (Cardolan), Yondershire, and later expansions add more...

    The Fast Food Thread

    The 1990s was great for all fast food. They hadn't been shamed into trying to make everything healthy, so you had delicious lard and trans fats. Fast food joints also still stuck to what they knew: delicious staples of whatever their niche (burgers, chicken, or Mexican). They hadn't introduced...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Pair whatever you do with some regular yoga. Mobility and flexibility decline post 40 is no joke.

    McDonald's is at the "classy" part of their cycle right now. They try to make gourmet shit that ends up being overpriced and tasting worse. In a couple years some new CEO will come along and bring it back into the "cheap" part of their cycle. They'll talk about how their menu is too large and...

    It sounds like you're describing a Reese's Oreo. I think Sludig is talking about the Oreo Reese's. The Oreo Reese's cups are pretty good. They're basically just a cookies-and-cream flavored Reese's cup. Probably my favorite recent variety, maybe behind the sugar cookie Reese's cups that were...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    That's the advice everyone gives and I tried it. Mobs just circle around me and approach once every minute or so. Shit is so tedious. Then when they do get near, I'm lucky to get one basic attack off. Maybe being a Mariner makes it worse. There's almost no range option and strong melee strikes...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I was loving it until I hit Rohan and the mounted combat. Most of the quests are optional, but there was one story quest that required it. I was playing a Mariner (melee class) and it was just awful. I couldn't do it, so I stopped. I picked it up recently playing a new character and since...

    Fuck the app. Those should be their regular prices.

    Grocery store has been my alternative, too. I can buy a full bag of those TGIFridays chips for $1.69 and any one of a huge variety of beverages for like $2 to $3. I can add on a meat stick if I want protein for another $2. That's more food for about half the price. The only downside is I have...

    I really don't understand why anyone is still spending money at fast food places anymore. The food is shit and the prices are through the roof. Last time I went to McD's it was almost $10 for a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, coffee, and hash brown. Haven't been back and don't plan to.

    What are you playing?

    Hah that's funny. I just finished playing through the original Dragon Quest 1 on my retro handheld. I think it was the only Nintendo game I had for a while back in the day. I really enjoyed it. There's something about the simplicity of it that I like. I'd like to try the remake at some point and...

    No Menards out on the East Coast. That's interesting a place like Menards would have them. Typically I only ever see them here at shitty gas station stores like Exxon or Shell. Until this pallet appeared I'd never seen them in an actual grocery store. I remember Tato Skins. A Keebler product...
