Yeah, it's obviously still trash food but the Beyond Whopper is indistinguishable from a regular one unless you're trying both at the same time for comparison. And I've done that, there's really only a slight texture difference

Oh, you do.

You could just throw the other halves in a freezer for next time, or you could quadruple everything to serve even more people.

Seems like you'd complain that it'd make too many servings if the recipe used the whole can/pepper too tbh

When people make a sandwich by putting ingredients on both pieces of bread instead of piling everything on one piece of bread. So they can't just sit the second piece of bread on top, they've got to carefully flip it to try to stop anything falling out.

I don't know if anyone is insane enough to do that in real life, but it's incredibly common in cooking/food videos.
I just did it a few hours ago. It's really not all that difficult.

I'll never fault restaurants catering to simple people to get the numbers up. Especially when it's good food and a decent pun.

Nope. PC games should be playable with keyboard and mouse. That's the control scheme for that system. And not having fully customisable controls on any system in a game released in the 21st century is loving ridiculous. And if you can't make your game work properly on PC with PC controls, don't sell it you're incompetent.
I played GTA Online and Rocket League for years with KB+M only.

I was an idiot.

Don't be like me.

Or at least be like me after I remembered that analog controls can be cool and good and stopped playing exclusively KB+M

On the one hand, that strikes me as the voice of someone that's trying to make sure they're not interrupted by making it very clear that they're still speaking. If it wasn't weird pacing it would probably be a whole bunch of "um" and "uh" instead which can be far more distracting.

But she's doing that vocal fry thing at the end of some of her phrases which bothers me more.

It's also had gaps edited out.

I mean, okay, but they're B (yellow, and the button on NES used to attack) and A (red, and the button used on NES to jump)

Like sure, conventions changed between the NES and the SNES, but you're still going to be expected to use B and A as B and A

If you got one of those cartridge adapters that let you play NES or Gameboy games on SNES it's gonna use B and A because those are the buttons for those systems

"you're telling me i finally got used to having four main buttons and it's only the standard for one of the top three consoles, of which one flips them and the other just uses shapes!?!?!?"

My pet peeve is that the handle for the shower/bath tap is stupidly shaped with a small gap between the temperature part and the part that turns the water on so if you get it at the wrong angle you can easily smash your finger in the gap when trying to turn the water on.
My shower handle operates the pressure, and it has a dial thing on it for adjusting temperature. It's fantastic! Unfortunately the thing that's supposd to stop the drain doesn't work and I've been too lazy to get one of those flat silicone drain cover things so I can't take a bath if I want to.
