  • With bathing, water recirculation is more easily accepted.

    Jump

  • That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about dishwashers to dispute it.

  • Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil?

    Jump

  • That sounds great. I really liked 4, and unfamiliar is fine as long as it's not unfamiliar because I'm supposed to have played half a dozen other games first.

  • Whats the difference between an angel and a ghost?

    Jump

  • Ghosts haven't been sucked off yet.

  • Wasn't Ted Knight in Happy Gilmore? (nvm that scene's from Caddyshack 🫣)

    Jump

  • I think I see a young Kitty Foreman in the back.

  • You have the option to absolve all of Chair or all of Table for the rest of eternity from the fabric of reality. Which would be easier to live without?

    Jump

  • You can use a chair as a table, but can't comfortably sit on most tables. QED, fuck off tables.

  • Do these look like fake cigarettes or used tampons?

    Jump

  • I mean if you're worried about it you can buy a ceramic one-hitter that looks close enough to a cigarette at 20 feet from any head shop for like $5.

  • good under-appreciated podcasts?

    Jump

  • The app I use, Podcast Addict, has given me some pretty decent recommendations from the ones I've subscribed to. I've also had some decent luck search for the keyword "anthology".

    I can give you a few more recommendations that are less tipped toward weird, as jumping off points:

    • LeVar Burton Reads (Exactly what is says on the tin. Reading Rainbow for adults. Be prepared to hear Geordi say "fuck" once in a while.)
    • Myths and Legends (Snarky narrator retelling classic mythology in an accessible modern tone)
    • Fictional (Same guy as above, but for classic lit like Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula and Frankenstein)
    • Short History Of... (Various bits of interesting history told in narrative form)

  • good under-appreciated podcasts?

    Jump

  • I used to listen to Nightvale quite a bit actually. Stopped some time shortly after the mayoral election storyline because IRL stuff meant I just wasn't listening to as many podcasts at the time. I did like it, but it's also one that I recall as best listened to in order, so it's always been on the back burner to pick back up. Maybe I'll give it another go during some long game sessions this winter.

  • good under-appreciated podcasts?

    Jump

  • I tend to go for story-telling podcasts, and within those I gravitate towards Twilight Zone-style weird anthologies. I don't know how under-appreciated they are, but I rarely see the genre represented in discussions much.

    Right now I'm finding a lot of great stuff in:

    • The Other Stories (all kinds of stuff, they have a different theme every month or so)
    • The Wrong Station (similar, but less likely to stick to a theme for a while)
    • Gray Matter (lots of modern adaptations of older horror/sci-fi, like Lovecraft)
    • The Antiquarium of Sinister Happenings (higher ratio of dumb stuff, but still some gems)
    • The Program (Black Mirror-esque)
    • The Truth (various radio plays. Many aren't sci-fi, but still weird in some way. Kind of reminds me of the bits of Inside No. 9 I've seen.)--

  • You have complete control over your franchise of choice, what are you retconning?

    Jump

  • Also we get Will Sasso to come back as hotelier Gomez Calhoun at least once a season.

  • If it were possible to travel back in time and manipulate events, we could take a book back in time and publish it before the author historically does... as a prank...

  • We're bringing back Sliders without a reboot.

    It was the real Arturo that got left behind in "Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome", and Remy ends up finding him again after his cliffhanger solo slide.

    Working with Arturo, they manage to get a slidegate up and running to go back for the others. They also find a dying copy of Quinn along the way who has some valuable Kromagg info and end up merging him into Mallory like the accident that melded our Quinn into him, in a last-ditch effort to save him. The presence of this third Quinn, who is almost like the original, outweighs Mallory so we have Jerry O'Connell back in the cast.

    The gang all back together, they go to deliver the Kromagg bio-weapon in Remy's blood and succeed. It's now slowly spreading across all worlds. But the Kromagg big bad they're fighting during this process sets off some kind of nuke inside a slide-tunnel, destabilizing the entire thing and basically scrambling sliding across all worlds. Even if you knew how to precisely connect to a world before, it goes somewhere else now.

    And now we're back to the classic formula, we can do whatever we want from here.

  • What is the best way to eat spinach?

    Jump

  • I steam it, then puree and mix into the sauce for mac and cheese, to trick myself into eating vegetables.

    Click on it, then scroll down to Accessibility and click on Configure.

    This window is pretty crowded, so use the search bar in the top right to look for Input Settings.

    Click on that and look for text-to-speech, then open the drop-down, select your microphone,

  • So I'm fashionably late to Solasta. What custom campaigns did you folks enjoy?

    Jump

  • I got the Lightbringers (Complete) edition because some of the base classes and a couple races are locked behind DLC packs. I'm not too happy they did that, but it wasn't that bad on sale. It looks like a lot of the custom campaigns require Palace of Ice because of items or monsters it added too. So I'd try to get the complete pack on sale.

    The opposite of "Ladies and Gentlemen" would be "Whores and Scoundrels".
