my main inquisitor was going to be a qunari mage lady until i found out she wouldn't be able to kiss cassandra

north hamlet

Do not put bisexual people into a box that might kill them

ignarius with a bald spot

#

Not to call out jen zee but maybe the reason she drew all demons with big hair is because she didn't want to draw the part where horn meets head

serene tulip
#

someone tell me not to go off my diet plz

#

I really want some food I shouldn't have

desert swallow
#

Do Not

serene tulip
#

But RASPBERRY CROISSANTS

hasty kernel
#

Syd, I'm surprised you reacted more to allister than bea

serene tulip
#

can we talk about how cullen only dates "pretty" races?

#

and has no canonical reason to like baldy jerkface?

hasty kernel
#

Also I'm guessing they're trying to whether the bad PR with pretty trainers

#

Weather

#

God I hate English sometimes

copper lark
#

im weak when games give me son boys#

hasty kernel
#

Yes but Bea

#

She is so pretty and muscular

copper lark
#

true

#

she has the muscles SE was too scared to give tifa

hasty kernel
#

Yeah

#

Give Tifa abs you could grind meat on

copper lark
#

give tifa THICC ARMS

hasty kernel
#

Give her the bodytype of Olivia Armstrong

#

Speaking of which, I was quite happy that the Fire Brigade anime gave Maki a muscular build

copper lark
#

:O FMA OLIVIER ARMSTRONG?

hasty kernel
#

I was less happy that the first episode already had a bit of fanservice

copper lark
#

SHES MY BIGGEST ANIME CRUSH

hasty kernel
#

I ... Wouldn't have guessed, actually

#

I kinda prefer Izumi Curtis looks-wise

copper lark
#

fair

#

also winry ,,, big crush on winry

serene tulip
#

Honestly

#

Who Doesn't have a crush on Winry

hasty kernel
#

Yeah Winry was cute

#

Gay guys I imagine

serene tulip
#

They're allowed!

hasty kernel
#

I wonder who the most attractive guy is in FMA

copper lark
#

god

hasty kernel
#

God does not have a gender

copper lark
#

fairs

hasty kernel
#

Also it's probably just Markiplier so

copper lark
#

greed-ling is ,,, muah

hasty kernel
#

Yeah Ling is goodlooking

copper lark
#

aaand alphonse is very cute

hasty kernel
#

Also Syd

serene tulip
copper lark

hasty kernel
#

Sig is a bear I suppose

Ah

copper lark
#

loool yea

#

ive rewatched brotherhood so many times

hasty kernel
#

I've never actually watched the whol thing

#

Just a lot of clips

#

Mainly involving the Armstrongs

copper lark
#

olivier armstrong is the prettiest woman alive

#

i want her to step on me

hasty kernel
#

You would die

copper lark
#

good

hasty kernel
#

Also technically FMA is in the past relative to us, so she probably isn't alive anymore

serene tulip
#

Heresy!

hasty kernel
#

What was the name of the secretary of the incompetent fire guy

copper lark
#

gfdrhgnjfdg

#

riza

#

riza hawkeye

#

incompetent fire guy is roy mustang

#

riza is also big waifu

hasty kernel
#

Yeah

#

FMA sure had a lot of women that kicked ass

#

... surprised proxy doesn't take offense to that

copper lark
#

ass is allowed

hasty kernel
#

I guess it's needed if people want Hades assistence

copper lark
#

my children in ffxiv are gonna be the death of me

hasty kernel
#

I wonder how you would react to some of the GW2 characters

upbeat scroll
#

Half rabbit half cat children?

hasty kernel
#

Huh

#

Beas official art gives me major DanganRonpa vibes

#

Its not just me, right

vocal brook
#

It's the hair

hasty kernel
#

I think its the pose actually

copper lark
#

def the pose

#

also not half rabbit half cat children

#

elf children

hasty kernel
#

There are elves in Final Fantasy?

copper lark
#

mmhm

hasty kernel
#

Are there Dwarves

#

Wait no

copper lark
#

there are lalafell?

hasty kernel
#

Unlike Elves a lot of FF had Dwarves

#

Wait what

hasty kernel
#

Please tell me theyre not like the Elin in Tera

copper lark
#

theey .... my kids

#

they are

hasty kernel
#

Oh no

#

So how creepy is it

copper lark
#

they are. ok for the most part

#

theres a lala queen and shes uh

#

shes ok

hasty kernel
#

Ill just stick to GW2, where the obligatory small race is not human-like at all

#

And kinda cute

copper lark
#

everytime i see u say gw2

#

i think

#

garden warfare 2

hasty kernel
#

I mean

copper lark
#

lik eht eplants vs zombies game

hasty kernel
#

The first expansion was basically about killing plants

#

Called Heart of Thorns, or HoT

#

Ironically, the desert expansion was not abbreviated HoT

hasty kernel
#

Say, since youre the local FFXIV expert

#

Was the expansion Heavensward called Heavensward as in towards heaven, or heavensward as in ward of the heavens

copper lark
#

yes

hasty kernel
#

I didnt know you were a computer scientist

copper lark
#

fRICK the heavens' ward tho

hasty kernel
#

Oh so its both

copper lark
#

yes

#

the first line of the expac is 'they walk on ever heavens ward'

#

and the heavens' ward are a group of ...

#

[searching for a nicer word for them]

hasty kernel
#

From what Im reading, theyre basically the knights of the round table, but pricks

copper lark
#

yep thats exactly it

#

||they killed my fav npc||

upbeat scroll
#

We're all fans of fantasy and thinking about race in here, right?

#

This is a good read, I recommend it

#

Talks about the history which is important and the second half of part 2 is about how you can write your own stories better

hasty kernel
#

Honestly Ive never liked Orcs much in general

#

Except the Warhammer 40k Orks, and even those only because their cars go faster when they put flame stripes on them

#

Simply because their latent powers make it so

#

Thats just hilarious

upbeat scroll
#

The essay actually covers w40k orks a bit

hasty kernel
#

Id be surprised if it didnt

upbeat scroll
#

Apparently they're based on british stereotypes

hasty kernel
#

That does surprise me

#

Also his view of Warhammers Orks is more positive than I expected

#

To say that Warhammer is generally problematic is putting it mildly

chilly briar
#

lalafell are the worst, want to be healed? gl targeting those little rascals

copper lark

lala tanks... god

copper lark
#

#

chilly briar
#

I'm on Behemoth

#

copper lark
#

ahh right

#

aw man behemoth is congested

chilly briar
#

prefer ghost towns?

copper lark
#

means id have to pay, again to move there

#

ive already moved to louisoix

#

from*

#

i moved to malboro

#

playing on an american server makes it already ghosty for me

serene tulip
#

which final fantasy is this?

#

I keep on forgetting

copper lark
#

14!

serene tulip
#

downloading

#

can I be a moogle?

copper lark
#

no :c

#

u can be a cat tho!

#

and if you buy dlc you can be a dragon

#

or a bunny girl!

serene tulip
#

Do the dragons get like, demon horns?

copper lark
#

kiiinda

#

theyre dragon people

serene tulip
#

Sad I can't be a bunny bro

#

:<

copper lark
#

let me show u my boy nekun

#

muah to him

#

yeah im sad i cant be a bunny boy too

serene tulip
#

2.5 hours

copper lark
#

download is long im sorry

serene tulip
#

30 gigs is 30 gigs

copper lark
#

its worth it tho

#

i have nearly 600 hours on this game

serene tulip
#

I'm skeptical that I'll get into it

#

I've never really gotten the MMO bug

copper lark
#

yeah mmos are hard to get into

serene tulip
#

I've played WoW a few times, and never got above level 40

#

I've played EVE a few times

#

BDO

#

like, all of an hour of Tera

copper lark
#

tera is awful

chilly briar
#

I've never played it

#

it seemed okay?

hasty kernel
#

TERA is a mixed bag

#

The combat is fun

#

The artstyle is alright

#

The enemy design is good at first

#

Buuuut

#

Quests and leveling are hella boring, the cash shop destroys the arstyle alltogether, its grindy beyond reason and it has Elin

#

Who are a race of small nature spirits that look like little girls

#

And theyre uh

#

Treated the same as the races that actually look grown up

#

The exact same

#

Its very creepy

#

Also @serene tulip if you never got into regular MMOs, maybe GW2 is for you

serene tulip
#

why do you say that?

hasty kernel
#

It does a lot of things very differently, which tends to resonate with people who otherwise didnt get into MMOs

#

I know a bunch of people who tried a lot of MMOs and didnt get them, but had it click with GW2

velvet fjord
#

also GW2 is very pretty

hasty kernel
#

Well, FFXIV is too, but yes

#

GW2 is very pretty

serene tulip
#

is there a gw2 free trial?

hasty kernel
#

A bit better even

#

You can play the whole base game for free

#

You only have to buy expansions

#

No subfee either

velvet fjord
#

is gw2 free now?

hasty kernel
#

Been for years

#

I think they changed it right before the second expansion

velvet fjord
#

ah
I bought it when it first came out because I was a big fan of gw1
although I think my mmo love will always stay with LoTRO

serene tulip
hasty kernel
#

I bought it as well actually

#

Started since way before the first expansion

#

Only MMO I played longer than a year

#

I think its 5 years by now

#

i loved that movie so much...

#

it was so!! fun!!

serene tulip
#

I loved all my friends going in who were expecting something deeper than just a fun, self-aware romp with Ryan Reynolds and were like, "This plot was so obvious"

#

and I'm like, "you're missing the point"

#

oh man, @somber ferry your avatar is great

somber ferry

copper lark
#

my pc did a blue screen thing

#

and now my phone is one 1% and the only way i can charge it is with my pc which has now crashed

#

ok then

#

on*

hasty kernel
#

Usually that isnt too bad

#

Also I have now hit the eternal MMO dilemma

#

Do I spend 1/4 of my gold which I dont really use for anything but should be using for legendaries to buy this monstrosity

copper lark
#

my computer still won’t turn on

#

and no do not buy it

hasty kernel
#

But its glorious

#

Its also a glider

#

The only question is how soon the novelty wears off

copper lark
#

what the hell is that thing sitting on it

hasty kernel
#

Thats the best race in MMOs, an Asura

#

Theyre the small race of GW2

copper lark
#

rrrright

#

yall..... prayers for my pc please

#

i’m rlly losin her tonight

hasty kernel
#

Theyre sort of a mix between goblins and uh

#

I guess gnomes?

copper lark

it looks like a goat

hasty kernel

Excuse you

copper lark

IM RIGHT

Youre definitely not

copper lark
#

DVEBJRJS

hasty kernel
#

Youre merely a heretic

serene tulip
#

just short some teensy horns

hasty kernel
#

Look how adorable they are

#

The only issue is that the faces for the male Asura dont have the greatest selection

#

Since like 4 of them are just grumpy old men

#

Because of course the science race would have grumpy old men who are unreasonable leaders of scientific groups

copper lark
#

ok kinda cute

hasty kernel
#

Oh and the best NPC

#

She is great

#

Her story progression is kinda heartbreaking though

#

Wait I just realized

#

Its basically the Metron Chair

#

Screw it, I got it

Its great

MY PC TURNED ON

HUG 👏🏾 THE 👏🏾 GOAT

copper lark

ugh it’s so good when i turn my pc on and the first thing i see is thanatos

Itd be a surprise if a bluescreen caused the PC to go on full lockdown

#

Also Im surprised your background is Thanatos

#

And not Olivia

tardy anchor
#

thanatos....killed ur computer...

copper lark
#

you’re SUPRISED thanatos is my background???????

#

have you MET me ovven???

hasty kernel

I mean Im less surprised by the fact that its Thanatos

As much as that its not Olivia, given how much you gushed over her yesterday

It usually does it when your interweb/mobile data connection is shoddy

#

It's weird

hasty kernel
#

I guess so

#

Also, ugh, I hate having eye pain

#

I should probably go see a doc about it, but the only one nearby is totally rubbish

hexed hollow
#

I just blame on my phone/pc being drunk when it happens :p

hasty kernel
#

But at the same time there is a non-0 chance that this is serious

#

Ughhh

Use artificial tears

#

If it doesn’t work, then it’s serious

chilly briar
#

@hasty kernel irritated or red?

hasty kernel
#

Not sure we have any

#

Very slightly red, but thats allergy most likely

chilly briar
#

Can try antihistamine eye drops

#

I get that sometimes

hasty kernel
#

Otherwise its just pain above the eyeball

#

I figured it might be eyestrain

#

But its odd for eyestrain to reoccur so quickly when I basically never get it

chilly briar
#

I'm also not a doctor, and it doesn't sound like you are either, so maybe go see one 😛

hasty kernel

Might be a sign that my vision has changed again

Thankfully you can get that done at an optician

Yeah, almost any glasses store has it

dr mario but its dr miku

If it clips through I guess it’s a collision bug but they waved the fix

Including the death metal

@hasty kernel i am late but it could be a stye or other inflammation of the eyelid. They usually go away on their own in a few days but if not then it's doctor time. I recommend hot towels to soothe and cleanse, and an eyepatch to prevent blinking pain, soak up tear leaks and make your look like a pirate

#

That or you look like an edgy anime boy

#

I am also not a doctor

I'm eating nearby now, gonna go after lunch and then head home

I was gonna try to do Arashiyama too but i wanna get back at a reasonable hour and uhhh arashiyama is clear across the city with no easy access from here

note to anybody interested in visiting kyoto: the transit sucks

yeah kyoto transport is awful

#

I loveeee arashiyama

I took a row boat up the river lol

@north hamlet Thats the weird part, it comes and goes, and has been doing that for about a week

Doctor time it seems. Also DON'T RUB YOUR EYES IT'S TERRIBLE FOR THEM (pressing something warm on em gently is better)

I probably will try to get an appointment, but the next earliest one is in about a month and a week

#

I want to try it so bad but its subscription based! Ugh

copper lark
#

well!!!!

#

up to level 25 is free

#

which is !! a lot!! of gameplay

analog spear
#

The fear isn’t that I won’t like the game, it’s that I will like the game and then make a bad long term financial decision

copper lark
#

ok im in this post and i dont like it

#

609 hours, a year and a half of playing

#

ive been taken over

analog spear
#

How much is it per month, you seem to have gotten your money’s worth

copper lark
#

worst part is, before i even hit lvl 25 i started paying

#

erm

#

i pay every 6 months lemme find the per month price

analog spear
#

How much for 6 them

#

N

copper lark
#

AH-

#

ok u can play free to lvl 35

#

which is SO much gameplay

#

uhh 6 months is like,, $25???

analog spear
#

So like 75 for 600 h

copper lark
#

im british so i dunno the $...

analog spear
#

That’s great value

#

O dang

#

Math

#

Anyway considering that the expected value from a 60$ AAA is like 120 H I think you’re still fine

copper lark
#

this doesnt seem right but

analog spear
#

O that’s a lot

#

~72 per month

#

6 month*

copper lark
#

it... doesnt seem right .....

analog spear
#

Yea

copper lark
#

ive spent a lot of money on this game either way

#

i spent at least £60 on the expacs

analog spear
#

Those might be Canada $

copper lark
#

i payed £25 for 180 days

#

this is confusing im only 15 i cant do maths

analog spear
#

That’s about 30$ I think

#

Freedom units

copper lark
#

hm... square enix hasnt done this very well

#

telling me my billing cycle is 90 days,,,

#

i payed for 180 days....

analog spear
#

That’s odd

#

30 for 6 months isn’t that bad

#

If your getting like 200 h every time

#

That’s the equivalent of getting one AAA per year and averaging 400 H from it

ionic viper
#

wait, syd, you’re only 15??

#

you’m babie........

copper lark
#

yee ;w;

#

i turned 15 last month

you're baby

analog spear
#

Stop boli

copper lark
#

i am babie

hasty kernel
#

Nah those numbers are right, its 15 american dollars per month at max, and less if you pay for more months at once

#

Its very expensive

#

Also, went to the optician, looks like my vision hasnt actually changed

#

Which is good, but also bad because it cant be that anymore

copper lark
#

dont they check the health of ur eyes?

hasty kernel
#

Opticians? Not usually, no

#

Thats for eye doctors

#

Whatever the proper name for that is

#

Ill try eye drops, see if that helps

#

Otherwise just gotta hope I can wait the month til I can get an appointment

copper lark
#

thats,, weird

#

opticians here check the health of ur eye too

hasty kernel
#

Maybe Im using the wrong word here

#

"Optiker" is what we call the people working at glasses stores

#

Or those stores themselves

#

And that translates to Optician

north hamlet
#

I call em optometrists, but yeah they do scans and stuff of eyes sometimes

hasty kernel
#

Well these dont

north hamlet
#

They don't always, and i also don't live in Germany so that might be different

hasty kernel
#

Plausible

north hamlet
#

Take care of your sight jellies in the mean time

hasty kernel
#

Yeah

#

It might just be Dry Eye

#

Though Im confused why it would reoccur so quickly and why it gets worse in the evening

north hamlet
#

Same

#

Do try the thing where you get a little towel soaked with very warm water and put it over your eyes

#

It's very pleasant

hasty kernel
#

Actually, it might be allergy-related

#

My allergy gets worse in the evening for some reason

#

Also, do you close the eyes when you do that?

analog spear
#

Yes

#

At least eye do

Huh?

#

Do you mean the Charr?

serene tulip
#

YUS

hasty kernel
#

Right

#

I'm personally not the biggest fan of them, so I guess they didn't come to mind

#

Mainly because of clipping issues

#

Charr have a lot of clipping issues

#

But theyre fun, even if their legions dont all make sense

serene tulip
#

clipping issues?

#

bad hair day?

hasty kernel
#

Moreso Armours

#

Their tails go through armour a lot, and their posture makes armour pieces clip through each other

Anyway, I have yet to figure out how 3 meters tall hulking cats are supposed to be good at infiltration and espionage

hasty kernel
#

Well you should at least watch the ghibli one

#

Well not Ghibli

#

Just Miyazaki

#

Its really good

#

Also Im surprised at how good it looks

#

CGI usually feels like a downgrade compared to regular animation, and Lupin III has a pretty high bar when it comes to animation

#

I am a little disappointed by Jigens design however

Not enough beard

Oh so its not keyboard smashing, its rotary

i think i may have encoded some keyboard smashes at some point

i wouldnt translate those

some not safe for newp language

rot13 always looks like cthulhu ate your brain

irl cthulhu ate my brain

and that’s why rot13 is the best

it looks like keysmashing except it’s legible when it comes down to it, so that makes it the superior gay language

Also Zendaya's MJ is superb in every way so shush

fading spire
#

True Crime sucks?

#

It's one of those things I'm neutral on
I've liked a couple episodes tho

upbeat scroll
#

Not the show itself

#

The fan base it's named after

#

People who fawn over serial killers and mass murderers and romanticize them and try to devils advocate them at every turn

#

||MJ doesn't do that exactly in the movie|| but I read some lines as hinting to that group

north hamlet
#

I dunno i feel like most people are into true crime media because the criminals are terrible, not because they want to defend them

#

But it's always the worst people who define a given fandom

somber ferry
#

i casually like true crime tbh. i don’t fantasize over serial killers or think they’re good people at all (though there are people who do, which is its own interesting phenomena), but i just find it interesting. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

like invis mentioned, usually the loud minority of a fan base will often define that group in the public eye, but it’s not accurate to say true crime fans are more likely to romanticize serial killers.

hexed hollow
#

there's going to be... interesting people in any fandom no matter what is is, but those interesting few people by no means speak for the majority of people who enjoy said thing

#

outside looking in it may seem that it's that way, but judging something because you only see that and not the majority isn't a good way to go imo

#

I could say I don't like the undertale fanbase because of how a couple of people ruined the experience of streamers I enjoy, but that by no means represents the majority of the fanbase

somber ferry
#

yeah, and likewise there are fandoms i’m not a fan of even though i enjoy the source material

hasty kernel
#

SU, Voltron, Homestuck, yeah there is a lot of fandoms like that

north hamlet
#

It's like how gamers are stereotyped as fat angry young men

#

The people here are nice, most likely of average health overall, and not unlikely to be female or something else

arctic basalt
#

i'm a fan of diverse fandoms myself shadesmile (and i'm sure you and everyone here knows this, i would point out as a little sidebar quibble that "fat" vs. "healthy" can be a false dichotomy)

hasty kernel
#

It is nice, yes

#

I suppose SGG is a bit of an outlier in this regard, however, as many indie games tend to be

arctic basalt
#

sgg has the best fandom yall...

#

though i admit bias shadeohboy

hasty kernel
#

True

#

Not surprising though, SGG has the best games

north hamlet
#

(probably should've said cheeto eating, you are correct about fat)

somber ferry
#

idk, that still derives from a similar stereotype imo, though i do understand you meant well with your statement!

north hamlet
#

I find orange styrofoam to be a marker of poor taste in food

somber ferry
#

cheetos are great and i will die on this hill

but only the crunchy ones

north hamlet
#

Truthfully there is actually a good deal of variation in the quality of foamy bright snack foods

#

And then there is the matter of personal taste, like my hatred of chicken flavourings

somber ferry
#

on the topic of cheetos, i tried the cheetos sandwich at kfc

and it was interesting yet, uh, dare i say, not bad??????? i’m not sure if i could eat another one for a while though because it was a LOT for one tiny sandwich lol

north hamlet
#

Makes me think of chips or onion rings in burgers

#

I imagine the crunch is good contrast

somber ferry
#

the chicken was nice and crispy too which was a bonus

#

i’d honestly never had a kfc sandwich before

hasty kernel
#

I like Fried onions on burgers

chilly briar
#

huh but it's a burger???

#

OH

#

right

#

I remember

#

things

hasty kernel
#

Whats the difference really

chilly briar
#

between a sandwich and a burger?

#

it's a fairly loaded question

north hamlet
#

Oh no not this again

somber ferry
#

do i need to bring up the cube rule

hasty kernel
#

Ironically

chilly briar
#

if you ask for a chicken sandwich here you will get a chicken sandwich, not a burger

hasty kernel
#

The sandwich Alignment chart does not clarify the stance on burgers

somber ferry
#

actually the cube rule would say it’s a sandwich

hasty kernel
#

However, it does seem to qualify it as a traditional sandwich

north hamlet
#

It's a sandwich of specific bunnage

hasty kernel
#

Although here is another sandwich alignment chart Ive never seen before

north hamlet
#

I see chaotic good is the traditional cut of fairy bread, and i approve

somber ferry
#

what the heck happened to that link

hasty kernel
#

So that makes a Poptart a Calzone

somber ferry
#

actually pop tarts thinks it’s a ravioli

hasty kernel
#

I mean it is

tardy anchor
#

CUBERULE?????/

hasty kernel
#

And by value of transitional properties

tardy anchor
#

oh we cuberuling...

hasty kernel
#

That means Ravioli are sandwiches

somber ferry
#

yes

hasty kernel
#

Q.E.D.

#

Also does that chart mean that Burrito is technically Sushi

somber ferry
#

i brought up the cheetos sandwich and are now discussing whether or not a burger is a sandwich

north hamlet
#

I wonder if they went sushi so as to not double up on Mexican food

#

Also burrito is longer to write

somber ferry
#

wouldn’t a burrito be a calzone since the edges are folded in

hasty kernel
#

Usually at least one side is left open

north hamlet
#

It does depend

ionic viper
#

burrito is soup

somber ferry
#

i’ve only had fully closed burritos

#

NOOOOOOO

north hamlet
#

I've seen both

ionic viper
#

if one side of the cube is left open it’s soup

north hamlet
#

I think the salad in container is the more fitting option

somber ferry
#

still soup

ionic viper
#

soup/salad

hasty kernel
#

Wait

somber ferry
#

well i guess technically the formal classification is “soup/salad in a bread bowl”

north hamlet
#

Both are type 5 identifications

hasty kernel
#

Doesnt that mean that technically Pizza with a high crust is also a Salad?

north hamlet
#

Yes

ionic viper
#

no

#

toast

#

the crust isn’t THAT high

north hamlet
#

I was imagining a really high crust

ionic viper
#

it’s a pizza, not a fortress.

somber ferry
#

not with that attitude

tardy anchor
#

pizza fortress

ionic viper
north hamlet
#

Now I'm thinking of an underweight quiche

somber ferry
#

i for one would live in a pizza fortress

ionic viper
#

quiche is soup/salad

#

has filling

somber ferry
#

man, you know what sucks? i work in nyc, but apparently my office isn’t really near any pizza places

#

my coworkers and i are all sad about this haha

tardy anchor
#

WHAT.....

ionic viper
#

a pizza has toppings while a quiche has fillings

#

therefore pizza is toast and quiche is bowl

somber ferry
#

yeah, apparently it’s like a 20 minute walk to good pizza at least

tardy anchor
#

i feel like "5 pizza stores within a 5 block radius from you" is everpresent.... this is so sad

i work directly opposite a mcdonalds

man, now i wonder if i can get my coworkers to order pizza with me for lunch today...

#

i really want pizza now

north hamlet
#

I'm hungry now

somber ferry
#

update: i have sent a message in slack asking if anyone wants to order pizza

arctic basalt
#

"burrito is soup" is the most viscerally disquieting thing i have read today

north hamlet
#

At what point does a food go from soup to a sauce?

cedar rock
#

When you find it taboo to eat it by itself with a spoon

opaque quail
#

So peanut butter is soup because people don't feel it's taboo to eat with a spoon? 🤔

tropic garden
#

viscosity has to be a factor here

#

i feel like the only difference between soup and sauce, at a certain level of viscosity, is quantity

north hamlet
#

I agree, i eat a lot of soup with bread or some other side

tropic garden
#

so like some sauces are too thick to be soup, some soups are too thin to be sauces

#

but there is an overlap!

tardy anchor
#

thin soup and oil based salad dressing....the same

cedar rock
#

But then if it’s in a container of a large amount how would you know if it’s soup or not

ionic viper
#

does it have large chunks of other things in? soup.
is it smooth? sauce.
