Fast food places deliberately place women at cash registers and in the drive thru because they still believe that people associate the entire concept of service with the female gender

Most restaurants only hire female servers or bartenders for the same reason

It's pretty dumb!

I just want to say as someone who has worked at many different fast food restaurants over the last 20 years, I have never once seen a manager specifically assign a woman to register or to be customer facing. I've seen a few women ask to be put into tipped positions, but never a manager tell them they needed to, and I've seen some pretty lovely, garbage human being managers, like 'hiring late teen girls to entice back to their place with alcohol' monsters. Not that I don't think this happens some places, but at least in the area I live it's not very commonplace.

Burger King and Dairy Queen... two rival fast food monarchies.... one, with the power of flame broiling, and the other, the power of ice and chill.....

For years I went to a local Dairy Queen, or rather I thought I had, before I looked really, really hard at the sign, and realized that it was an impersonator restaurant named Dairy Country that was designed to look identical to Dairy Queen in every way legally possible. Their signature dessert was called the 'wizard' rather than 'blizzard' and they never, EVER corrected you when ordering a blizzard.

It was really weird and offputting when I realized how long I had been actively misreading the signage in that store.

Yeah, Dark Souls 3 is really bad

how does it compare to Dark Souls 2? I've been trying to get back around to DS2 since I've had enough of a break after doing Demons/DS1/Sekiro last year, but it feels like all my character's actions are laggy and lethargic, I can't parry things for poo poo in this game.

Honestly you're probably having trouble parrying because the parry frames are way different from Dark Souls 1. In DS1 every single weapon has 6 active parry frames the second you hit the button, followed by a number of recovery frames (14-20) depending on the weapon.

Dark Souls 2, there's a bunch of startup frames for every weapon (9-39) where parries don't work, followed by a variable number of active frames (4-18, again weapon dependant) and then some recovery frames (39-60). The only weapon that functions like Dark Souls 1 parries is the Monestary Scimitar, with frame data of 0/18/49, and that's a New Game Plus weapon.

Also probably relevant to this, is this chart comparing roll data between souls games. You can see you need like 105 AGI to get anywhere close to having a roll that feels like the good DS1 rolls, and even then you've got a bunch of recovery frames.

They did darken a few areas and that was fun

Like that one optional underground dungeon path in the forest of fallen giants, now it’s dark and filled with skeletons and you definitely need a torch, but also you can summon a mage NPC in there who will cast the Light spell for you, it’s a very nice touch!

The point was to put out a shocking statement that get people to talk about your brand, while not saying something so heinous it causes meaningful blowback

Saying something reasonable in the dumbest possible way accomplished that pretty well

So a while back I was bitching about Infinite Space not putting in a proper tutorial on things like combat and assigning crew and modules and other basic things needed to play the game.

That's because Sega released 3 YouTube videos on the subject, but of course only 2 are still hosted on Sega Europe's channel:

Also, thanks to charliefoxtrot for posting the P5 curry. I made my own based off of it but heavily modified for the wife and kid and it was drat good. Had mine with rice, hummus and an egg while the wife and kid had theirs with rice noodles in a sauce.

Whelp, the nice couple we've been renting from for the last five years have to sell the property we live in, so... off I go househunting during a pandemic.

Awesome.

In other news heading to Skellige in Witcher 3. Novigrad and Dandelion was a big step down from Bloody Baron, I hope the game regains its footing. Overall it's obviously much more polished than Witcher 2 but I feel like 2 was more ambitious. Less filler, better momentum in the plot. 3 is still a phenomenal game in its own right, I'm just surprised at how different the 'feel' of the game is from 2, it's like the RPG equivalent of the differences between 2D and 3D Mario platformers.

Also after all the technical glitches I've seen in this game, the complete meltdown of Cyberpunk makes a lot of sense. That game was never not going to be jank city.

feelin kind of melancholy about playing Valheim tonight, seems like we'll "beat it" tonight and have nothing else to work towards. Usually after work I log in to make us food, gather materials, build poo poo, etc, but our castle is pretty much done and we're well prepared for whatever the last boss is. So far no boss took more than one try. It was a lovely co-op experience while it lasted. Can't wait to see what this game ends up being in several years on a re-play or even just when folks have had enough time to make some beefy mods. There's room for pokemon in Valheim, I'd wanna try a skyblock version, and I'll be genuinely surprised if at some point there isn't a mod to add advance materials science and requisite crafting and mechanical stuff to build your own oil pumps and whatever.
