Regarding Barbeque I'd say the international quality decreases in an alphabetic order. So it goes Argentinean > Australian > Brazilian >>>>>> USAean

Colombia was a wonderful place to visit but they had some dreadful meat and I assume its the same there.

US barbecue is amazing actually. But not if you're eating US style barbecue outside the US. All the best places are hole in the wall restaurants that definitely aren't sharing recipes and we just don't export the good stuff anyways. Hell, there are sections of the US itself that are too far away to get really good barbecue.

Nah, there's good BBQ all across the South, even in Texas. It's pretty easy when the cow dies and immediately falls directly over into your smokehouse. (This is why the KC area has great BBQ, but western KS is even emptier of good food than it is of people in general.)

We had some pretty ace 'Q in Memphis though when my buddy said "I want to find the absolute most rundown place in town" and we eventually settled on "Boss Hogg's BBQ" in a crappy shack nailed onto a trailer in a residential neighborhood. It was exactly as delicious as it was horrific.

My favorite is still Leatha's BBQ in Hattiesburg, MS. When you pull one of their ribs by the bone, no meat comes with it. It's fantastic. They are in a converted 100+ year old school house in the gravel parking lot of a RV dealership. The cooking area is attached to the school house and consists of chain link fences and a tin roof.

BBQ is the art of loving meat, heat, and spices. the KC-Texas axis produces some amazing flavors and is justifiably what most people think of when they hear "BBQ". There's a distinct soul food BBQ, smoky and rich flavors and great sides. Don't forget the Koreans, they have a distinct style of their own, but it's definitely quality BBQ; and nobody does sides quite like the Koreans do. Allegedly there's some heinous crimes against food committed in the Carolina area, but that can be excused as the fever dreams of the inhabitants of a marshy, humid hellscape with an unhealthy predilection for vinegar.

As part of a possibly futile attempt of re-steering the conversation back onto industry topics: what are current trends and where are we headed? Is VR online gaming on virtual tables the future of tabletop-rpgs? Is both market and consumer base shrinking or growing? Does the change in consumer behaviour in response to the growing technological dependency on smartphones and tablets lead to innovations in trpgs or are we still living in the analogue-age? Are there even any good attempts at this or is the experiment "rpg growing out of its niche" dead?

A VR equivalent for roll20 would be really cool but anything VR will just be a paid tech demo without a more ubiquitous user base to popularize it. Unfortunately for the tech side, one of the big draws of TRPGs is the tactile and in-person nature of them. I think there's still room to use phones as something a more complicated than dice rollers, but I think all that's being done in tabletop ATM is using one device to offload mental processing like in Alchemy or Mansions of Madness. I think there's some room for using phones as a character manager/conflict resolver for Larps but I haven't seen any examples.

Mr.Misfit posted:Is both market and consumer base shrinking or growing? On the one hand, you have situations like the industry leader of D&D putting out little content since 5th edition came out and basically giving up the ghost, previous juggernaut WW* regressing into the worst elements of their 90's writing, and even Pathfinder has seemingly running out of steam with their ability to produce content (or at least, is getting there soon). On the other hand, the cottage industry of making your own RPGs is now easier than ever, online tools means you can get into games even while you live in the middle of nowhere, and several well-known RPG podcasts have cropped up to give people their first taste of tabletop gaming. This is to say nothing of the golden age of board games that we're living through right now. The answer? Possibly growing for RPGs, definitely for board games. I think in the case of RPGs it's just shifting in both taste of games and how those games are conducted. * - Not to be confused with Onyx Path, which is doing its own thing with its own set of unique problems.

You can find third party apps but no major publishers have character/campaign builder tools, as far as I know. But hey, maybe the app for Monte Cook's ~Invisible Sun~ the game for only the smartest and most desirable people like you will take off?

Nuns with Guns posted:Tons of people play online now through roll20 and virtual tabletop. AltspaceVR also has a VR D&D service but I've never heard of anyone playing it. The main thing I think we need to unlock virtual reality's limitless potential for gaming is for fully-3D-renditions of every Baldur's Gate environment to be created for us to mysteriously float in while rolling dice

Ah, it's good to see that he's aware of the racist depictions in the source material, but decided the only issue he had was just using the term "pygmies". What a embarrassing shitshow. I really didn't need the reminder that this gross self-aggrandizing racist fetish bait trash exists. Thanks, ENnies.

I haven't been in a face to face game in years, but I've been playing and running on Roll20 2-3 times a week. VR though? I'm not ready for that.

I'd say that blotting all names should be done because the doxxing is not exclusive to the /pol/ crowd.

Why does the Racist stutter in text? For.... for.... for.... "telling the truth"? Who does a racist rant on facebook but also takes the time to write it out like a dialog scene in a script or a novel? Hell of a meltdown anyway. Never-mind, I sometimes forget that people like this don't see themselves as racist, they are just "Telling it like it is". remusclaw fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Jul 17, 2017 |

It turns out companies don't need to send you free stuff when you say things that are harmful to their brand and your business! May as well set the Constitution on fire and flee the country, folks. The American experiment is over.

I just want one single right-wing reactionary to have it suddenly dawn on him (almost always him) that he can, in fact, say whatever he wants. As that is how he got into this situation, by saying whatever he wanted. Free country! Wooo! Look, you said what you felt and you were not arrested or shot! Hmm? Not enough? We all have to not only like what you say but also reward you for it? Oh sorry, I grew up differently than you and I guess I just do not believe that everyone deserves a medal

Glorious, true capitalism can only exist as a relatively inoffensive, incredibly status quo-y, grey slurry. The failure of (certain) products in a truly competitive market is not the invisible hand, but the very visible hand…of Hitler! In seriousness, de-platforming can be a fraught subject, but somehow all the usual shitlords never seem all that concerned unless the thing being de-platformed is a rapegame or avowed/painfully obvious trolling bullshit.

Freedom of speech under capitalism means all the speech you can buy and all the speech you can make. Any larger principles about freedom of speech have largely gone out the window, if they ever really existed.

One thing to keep in mind is that in most of the cases that American free speech law is based on, it's explicitly based on the principle that good ideas will out-compete and stifle bad ideas on their own, and that's why we don't need to regulate speech (for the most part).

If you want to see what a gamer libertarian actually believes about free speech and the free market, ban them from a privately owned Internet forum and see how they react. They support these ideas only insofar as they imagine they will redound to their benefit 100% of the time.
