Also get the Thai Iced Tea.

There's a Thai place with great lunch specials a few blocks away from where I work, and they have a "no ice" option for the iced tea that I'm almost afraid to try because I'm pretty sure that'd be the equivalent of slamming a can of sweetened condensed milk.

A point of contention with H.Bomberguy: the new Mario game isn't contrasting Mario with 'reality'. It's drawing some trickier associations between Mario and Grand Theft Auto. The point seems to be that Mario is the Tommy Vercetti of his particular universe - so, when you trade their places, it's both a radical alien intrusion and ultimately a joke that not much has changed. Item blocks are now (revealed to be?) street signs, turtles are taxi-cabs, etc. At a certain level, it's just a palette swap.

That Sonic and the characters in Star Wars 7 are unthreatening isn't the conclusion; it's one point in the broader ideological critique.

Like, you can establish a contrast with how Rogue One (the better-made film with, not coincidentally, more progressive themes) received a lot of nerd criticism because the (sex-having, adult) characters were deemed 'dour' and 'unlikeable', the whole film dismissed as 'grimdark' - despite there being not much of an overall difference.

And that has the counter-effect of defanging GTA. It's somewhere between a homage and a dis, if you think about it.

The odyssey reference should be given more importance. Mario is 'journeying to alien places' and learning about their culture, viewing it through the lens of an outsider. One of the worlds happens to resemble our own. It should be taken as an opportunity to interrogate the fabric of society itself, like when Captain America awakens from his slumber at the end of The First Avenger and discovers that the world has become a nightmare.

I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.

Power of Pecota posted:

Semi-related to this - if you do have a turntable, how many records do you have to own for it not to be weird? I was talking about this with a friend like a year ago and they said just one, and I think that's total bullshit.

I mean everyone has to start somewhere, but if you already have the turntable and you've only got one record that's pretty lame. Also if you have a Crosley turntable you might as well not even bother.

Magic Hate Ball posted:

Ten seems like a good minimum for a reasonable collection, but that's just because I can't imagine spending eighty plus on a machine that plays one thing.

Eighty plus? For that kind of money you're going to have a garbage turntable that will most likely destroy your records. I always tell people outright that if they don't like spending money stick to digital downloads. In fact usually I discourage people from getting into it at all.

Maxwell Lord posted:

Plus old vinyl is cheap unless you're collecting major classics or something. That's a big part of the medium's appeal for me.

This was true until somewhere in the last few years when all the cool kids hopped on the bandwagon. Prices for everything have gone completely insane. Also stuff that is considered classic is often much cheaper because there are a lot of copies in circulation. The exception here is when it's something that only got popular in retrospect like Nick Drake or something.

Magic Hate Ball posted:

That's my favorite aspect. I'm really impatient to get my record player and general hi-fi system back (almost three years in storage aaa) because I hate going to record stores and finding interesting stuff and being like "oh i can't buy this nvm". There's something really nice about playing records.

I've spent at least 200 dollars on records this month.

In the Mark Millar comic that scene is based on, Captain America goes "Yeah right, like a black could ever be in charge of anything, nice try Nazis!"

Good, then I don't have to watch it. I was afraid it might have somehow turned into a relevant commentary now that the surveillance state is so far beyond what was far-fetched when the movie came out.

My favorite part is that erasing data is portrayed by a photoshop filter over the data. Like, on the screen is a picture of a driver's license, and it starts to crystallize as it's deleted. :barf:
