  • While I do agree it was memorable (shit, we’re talking about it literally decades later), they weren’t exactly appetizing for a restaurant ad. I don’t remember a single sandwich name from them so it didn’t give me any meaningful brand recognition. Maybe it worked at the time, but no idea.





  • Yeah this is why I run a Mealie instance at home. Does a similar thing but also saves it to my own server where I can favorite things, setup cooking mode (shows ingredients per step), and even go to the original URL if my import missed something.

    I still get the daily All Recipes emails about their recipe of the day and I’ve taken to deleting them immediately if they don’t give me the dish’s name in the subject because I’ll never have a need to look in my email for that recipe that some celebrity’s grandmother made for them as a kid.





  • Oh okay I see what you’re saying, but I took it as more than just that.

    spoiler for the same event

    She was being flirty with him while not just on the job but also in a relationship, and for some that’s enough for them to feel guilty. Yes, at this point Robert didn’t know about the relationship at this point, but from his POV he’d still read that guilt for what he saw might have been a signal he missed.

    I’m sure you probably have more than just that one example, but in this instance I didn’t see it as being off from my decisions I guess. Overall, I felt the writing was pretty well done across the board.


  • Interesting that you felt the game assumed you made choices you didn’t, I hadn’t ran into that despite very frequently picking the less popular options. I won’t ask for specifics for obvious reasons, but that does make me curious whether there was a bug or a gap in logic. Definitely not a flawless game as gamepad is a very flawed input option when things get hectic, but damn the writing and action sequences had me hooked immediately.

    Still can’t believe my first time through was only 7.5 hours. Can’t wait to go through with different choices.



  • Yep, I manage a lot of domains for my organization and our members, and work on our and infrastructure regularly. I basically always end all DNS queries with a period to ensure Windows or Linux aren’t trying to append anything like a search domain and screwing with my results. Fixes so many issues, especially when you’re expecting an NXDOMAIN result.


  • Can confirm what the other commenter said, completely impossible to have an effect. .com and .gov and .fr and .nz are what’s called TLDs or Top Level Domains. Everything is delegated down from that level for any subdomains. .fr and .nz are country owned and any attempt to take control of that would be returned to their respective governments by ICANN.





  • While I get that yes it’s often a money grab, especially when it’s a remaster of a game that’s less than 10 years old (sometimes less than 5 years), there are times where it’s completely valid and justifiable.

    Let’s just look at the very recent Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter release. Yeah we could probably just call this a remake, but in this case it’s such a faithful recreation of the original, it’s like playing that original all over again. But this fixes the accessibility issue this first trilogy has in that the only way to play it in English is either: PSP, Vita, or 2014 PC release. No modern console can play it, and it’s a very important story arc. Now us rabid Trails fans can pretty unanimously say where the best starting point of the series is.
