Yeah. Even after all this time, it can be amazing how rude folks can be over coffee. I've been called a motherfucker several times for not having decaffeinated coffee available, and one time a lady got into a shouting match over it.

I went to a seafood buffet at a casino once. All this amazing fresh seafood like multiple kinds of crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, fish filets, scallops, etc.

They had a section with pizza, spaghetti, and fried chicken.

People were piling on the latter.

People are freaked out by fish for some reason. My mother's like that.

Just scans as "more for me," as far as I'm concerned.

As I further continue my John Carpenter watching, I really think his movies, more than most I've watched, would lend themselves incredibly well to modern day video games. Imagine a They Live game made by the Saint's Row guys, or Assault on Precinct 13 as an asymmetrical multiplayer game. I'm not sure what about his movies in particular makes me think this, but it's probably the worlds that he creates and the action.

Assault on Precinct 13 was one of the major inspirations for Resident Evil 2, if I'm remembering right.

Apparently, in the Power Rangers movie that comes out this week, the yellow ranger is gay and the blue ranger is on the spectrum.

So get ready for a whole bunch of yelling about "sjws" and Power Rangers.

Subway is dire. I gently caress with Taco Bell though.

Also, greasy American-style Chinese food is a Massachusetts specialty, I was surprised to find. When I went to the midwest, the Chinese food place everyone praised as "the good one" was mall-tier fare at restaurant prices. My brother lives in NYC now and he always says that the one kind of cuisine you can't find there is "Chinese" food. My friend in LA says the same. My dad brought home a bunch last night as a belated birthday treat for me but I'd already transitioned out of the birthday eat-everything festival season and into penitent fasting. A real tragedy.

I don't know where your brother is going but good Asian food, whether it be Americanized or traditional, is the easiest possible food to find in NYC.

There is literally a little India 10 minutes down the street from me, a lot of different choices. Great stuff. Thai is really scarce around here but I can take a train into the city to get literally the best Thai food out of Thailand.

I haven't eaten chain fast food for years and I'm just fine with that. It's ducking gross and it's not real food. When I worked at my previous job there was an Indian place that did a takeaway box for £3.50 which was delicious and proper food

Dominos pizza is actually pretty good in Iceland. There are a lot of better places but Dominos is the best chain place. I hear it's abysmal in America. Like sub-frozen supermarket pizza level.
If you're in a reasonably populated area, odds are good you can easily find better pizza than Domino's in the US. That being said, they've launched a big 'we don't suck anymore' campaign over the last couple years, including a new recipe for the pizza, and it's actually pretty good now. Especially their thin crust.

Dominos absolutely dominates the market over here. One of their places in Reykjavik is apparently in the top 10 for most sales worldwide. Which is pretty crazy considering only about 200 thousand people live in Reykjavik and they have more than a dozen other branches in the area so it's not like it's a case of it being the only one.

Only the ones that like going out of business.

The people who get in a loving uproar over a gay character are the same ones who have no problem with children watching stuff that's violent. It's OK to show someone's head exploding, but we can't even infer that a guy likes other men.

Besides, the people the film is actually marketed to don't give a poo poo. Anything that's "for the children" is really for hyper-sensitive adults that feel threatened when anything outside their narrow world view approaches visibility.

As in, recently returned from the place with real Chinese food so I have to put apostrophes around the term 'Chinese food' in NY.

It's extremely tasty, convenient food but at this point it might as well be a different cuisine altogether.

Big suitcase!

Also, the best General Tso's I've ever had was impossibly ungenuine but I still crave it ten years later. They'd pan-fry the noodles in a big lump so the bottom would get all brown and crispy, and the sauce would soak into it and make it all soft again.

Hardee's was the only good fast food when I was living in the midwest. Their curly fry game is on point, and the made-to-order tenders are legit. They had a pulled pork burger for a minute that was the poo poo. They've got some heinous kill-you stuff on their menu though, like the sourdough grilled cheese burger that just oozes mayo.

There was also Taco John's, which is vile (and exists almost exclusively on military bases for a reason). They put their ground beef in a food processor to give it a smooth texture. They did have one dope item though, which was a burrito with tater tots, nacho cheese, and popcorn chicken in it. If you're gonna call yourself Taco John, go for the gusto.
