Wow this takes me back.

Were you my neighbor in middle school?

Weird side note, the point where they say that Halliday's favorite character in Golden Eye is Oddjob was when I lost interest in the movie Ready Player One. It was the moment they proved beyond a doubt that they were fetishizing history rather than actually caring about it.

I haven't seen the old Bond movies in decades, but don't remember anything but the bowler as a weapon (which in my memory seemed to fit the gestalt with other villains like Jaws). So googled around really quickly and then realized this was probably about the video game...

Anyway,

Spoiler: Time.com thing about Goldfinger the Book.

The Quantum of Racist | TIME.com

It’s common knowledge that Ian Fleming’s James Bond spy thrillers were hardly politically correct. They were packed with outdated, but probably deeply-felt, sexism, racism, and, yes, even homophobia. (Not to mention the relentlessly kick-ass sadism.

My wife and I are hobby cooks.

I never really paid attention when my mother was still alive, which is a pity since she was a great cook and baker. My wife is also really good, when she has the energy to cook or bake (COVID is a bitch). However, I can contribute a recipe I saved from a Reddit thread about an ex-employee getting revenge on a crap business owner. It's kind of involved, but I really need to try this someday.

Hao SiFu’s pork bone broth

Ingredients:

• 4-5 pounds of pork leg bones and knuckles
• 1 pound of chicken bones (neck or wings work best)
• 2 large onions – chopped in half
• 6 cloves of garlic – lightly crushed
• 1/2 Chinese white radish – chopped roughly (replace with carrots if unavailable in your area)
• 1 thumb piece of ginger
• Handful of dried shitake mushroom (pre-soaked)
• Handful of conpoy (dried scallop)
• 1 tbsn of crushed black pepper
• Several dashes of Chinese rice wine

Method:

1. Boil the bones in a separate pot for at least 10 minutes. Remove from water and rinse carefully under tap water.
2. Crack the leg bones along the middle (we used a giant cleaver) Place washed and cracked bones in clean pot with cold water and bring to boil.
3. Add all other ingredients.
4. Gently boil Simmer with lid slightly ajar for at least 8 hours (the longer the better) stirring occasionally. It will smell terrible for the first 2 hours for some reason – this is normal. I've also used pressure cooker which reduces the cooking time to about 2 hours. It's still very good but unfortunately you don't get the nice emulsification of the fats.
5. The finished product will look like a rich, opaque, creamy white colour. Strain before serving.

This broth is served with fresh noodles with vegetables and protein of your choice. Ensure you season with soy sauce or salt before serving. OP liked it served with roast pork, bok choy and mushrooms with egg noodles.

Starting a new campaign soon, and one two of my players have now indicated that they want to play bards. Normally I would come here to vent about this absolute trainwreck waiting to happen, and Snarf would chime in and the two of us would commiserate about this ridiculous punchline of a character class...but Snarf is no longer here. I'll have to let bard memes do the mocking for me.

Yes yes, you're magically whimsical, and your superpower is being able to do all the things that nobody else cared enough about to bother learning. We can always count on you to bring levity and humor that nobody asked for, and to break everyone's concentration and derail a tense dialogue with a fart joke that isn't funny. Nobody can chew the scenery like you can, you clown, you strutting minstrel, you showboating hack. Please leave.

I hate bards so much.
