I've always seen oatmeal as more of a snack than a meal and I can easily see a sufficiently sweet and fruit-topped bowl as a dessert.

You have clearly had some lovely caesar salads. A good caesar salad is super exciting and basically my power meal if I need nutrition but don’t want to be weighed down by a huge lunch. Tips : Some like steak, some like chicken me I like shrimp but we quibble on protein. The important part is you pan sear it crispy with blackening spice. Use spinach instead of lettuce. The slightly bitter flavor complements the tang of the dressing and it’s easier to eat cause it doesn’t have thick ribs. Feta cheese. Just always add feta cheese to salads. Feta is amazing. MAKE A REAL loving CAESAR DRESSING NOT A RITE AID BRAND BULLSHIT. IT TAKES LIKE FOUR MINUTES AND THE ONLY THING YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE IS ANCHOVIES. (If you’re veggie you can use Worcestershire sauce as sub, and if you’re really, really strict veggie you can use mushroom stock.) And get some real parmesan and shave that up like the little temptress it is. Caesar salads are definitely something to get excited about, and if you aren’t it’s because of lovely past salads.

gnome7 posted:Ettin and Freyja have been talking to me about this game for a couple months now and it looks Very Good to my eyes, especially if you want a game about saying "gently caress capitalism." There's a very important subsystem all about having to pay for your existence, and cool robot parts make existing more expensive, but costs go down if you have a roommate. The mechanics extremely enforce poverty subsistence but with cool robot bits so you can try and maybe overthrow the system enforcing your terrible poverty subsistence. Yeah, I poked them on Twitter about it the other day, and it looks like it will be straight-up my jam given how I adore cyberpunk and feel it should be radically anticapitalist.

Caesar salads are delicious. I will absolutely get excited about a real loving good caesar salad for lunch. Oatmeal...I got texture issues with it. Lancer looks rad as gently caress, and I love it's flirtation with weird desert-punk aesthetics mixed in with Abby's absolute insanity in other designs. Ettin and Freyja's game sounds rad as gently caress but goddamn if that noodle stand isn't dangerously weaponized Ettin joke.

occamsnailfile posted:A good novel to read might be Meddling kids by Edgar Cantero, it toys with the Scooby tropes mingling with the genuinely traumatic effects of meeting the supernatural and exposing kids to danger. It’s also pretty nicely written and sometimes as funny as it thinks it is. That sounds pretty awesome. I'll look into it. Maybe Audible has an audiobook. Seriously, Scooby Doo is shockingly good. Has anyone watched Mystery Incorporated? That show is postmodern Scooby-Doo written by fans deconstructing the entire series and it's amazing. Anyone, your book suggestion reminds me of an idea I've been kicked around. The basic premise is kind of weird. You know all of those crappy Love Hina-inspired harem comedies? The main characters off and beaten up for Comic effect for doing nothing. Like they're not actually perfect and it's usually just an accident. It's weird in the humor is creepy and weird but it is an accident. And they get their poo poo kicked in just for accidentally opening the bathroom door. I've been kicking around the idea where the protagonist ends up in our worlds and they recognize that he is the victim of abuse. A part of it has to do with the fact that I don't think those Harem comedies are funny and part of it has to do with the fact it really is basically abuse. I think it could be a vehicle to discuss domestic abuse against men. Jimbozig posted:I don't like oatmeal, grits, polenta, or any of that poo poo. I've had good versions. They are fine. I'd rather have something else. Even mashed potatoes are mostly a no for me unless they have some serious kick. I guess it's the texture that doesn't do it for me because the flavours can be good. I'm just going to jump in and say polenta is some good poo poo. That's my go-to meal of choice if I want to have that kind of dish.

Definitely pretty fun and part of me hopes he writes more in the series. If you want a good idea of what not to do with Scooby Doo check out Scooby Apocalypse. It's a comic series that just ended and it's certainly A Thing Also the first WWE/Scooby Doo movie is pretty solid and I say that as someone who isn't a big fan of either

What is it with Hanna-Barbera and wrestling? There are 5 crossovers between the two properties on VRV. I don't even begin to understand how the Jetson crossed over. Also, I'm aware of Scooby-Doo apocalypse. It look like garbage. But I guess I can't really blame them because they couldn't do what they did with The Flintstones because Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated already did that. But still, that comic looked like bantha poodoo.

The only good salads are pasta and potato. Leaves are gross, it's why you can't eat them without dumping sauces on them! Oatmeal is good if you make it right and put good things in them. A little cinnamon and nutmeg, maybe a dash of cocoa powder, you have a breakfast that will keep you going. I'd never eat it as dessert though.

Ghost Leviathan posted:District 9 has Apartheid elements to the allegory, but it's literally set in a recently abandoned camp of Nigerian refugees and named after 'District 6'. The use of 'man on the street' footage in the original short film was very on purpose there. The whole point is that treating the Prawns horribly is both unjustified, unnecessary and likely counterproductive given by the end of the movie the average viewer is actively cheering for the Prawns to invade Earth in retaliation. Refugees are usually people out of their element and in a horrible state who need help and face exploitation, cruelty and hate specifically because of that. I just realized something that bugged me- District 6 was a non-white district in Cape Town that suffered a forced removal in the 70s. I've been to the museum there. It was absolutely an apartheid-era segregation and removal. The apartheid elements are core; the point is to show how the treatment of refugees is equivalent to apartheid.

Shaggy was working at the facility as an animal handler for a "let animals talk like humans" experiment, and Fred and Daphne are freelance YouTube-style investigative reporters who snuck into the facility before the plague hit. They didn't sneak in they were invited in by Velma to reveal the truth of what she'd done. I made some effort post in another thread recently I'll try to find later but it's not good

The Flintstones reboot by DC was Eisner nominated, IIRC. The line got a lot of hype for it. It also came out during DC Rebirth, which was a very successful comics relaunch that was written as a "I'm sorry" letter for the last 10 years of comics. But, the other series just couldn't compare. And DC slowly burned all of their goodwill as the same ol' suspects - Dan Dido, Jim Lee - began actively tearing down what people like Tomasi fought tooth-and-nail to build. Oh, you liked Superman as a husband and father of a 10 year old in a small town? Too bad: Dan Dido doesn't like that Jon Kent is getting more people than Clark Kent so he had Bendis exile Jon then bring him back in a wholly unlikable form. You liked the Bat family in Detective comics and were looking forward to the Batman/Catwoman wedding? Too bad: Batman can't be happy so the marriage is canceled, Dan Dido had Dick Grasyon get shot in the head, get amnesia, call himself Rick, and become a dickhole, etc. You liked that we brought back the original Wall West? Too bad: we made him go crazy, kill a bunch of superheroes, then frame two heroes for it, then kill himself. And, with the diminishing goodwill of DC from their own head editors being the same fuckwads they have always been, all of their comics started to see increased scrutiny and criticism. Most of it deserved, and only avoided previously due to customer euphoria causing people to ignore the flaws. As Sal from comicpop put it nicely: "Marvel will do anything that sells, for better or for worse. DC will do anything that pleases a small group of men's ego, for better or for worse."

Also the entire "Batman Who Laughs" poo poo is just intolerable. So there's a dark multiverse made up of "failing" universes that are just too darn depressing to maintain themselves (how that jibes with the rest of the multiverse being genocide and misery 24/7 I have no idea), and some rando grabs a bunch of evil Batmen from these DARK UNIVERSES and their leader is a Joker Batman who wears steel BDSM gear and everyone literally refers to him out loud as "Batman Who Laughs" and just, wow, somehow it's even dumber than I'm making it sound.
