I think you've earned that measure of respect, at least.

Yeah. I suspect we won't agree on the day of the week, let alone this topic.

Is that the definition these days? That's a hell of an expansion.

Even chunks of TSR Design took hard lefts when allowed. Amazing Engine, the Dragonlance and Marvel card-based games, even the second Buck Rogers (High Adventure one) RPG was closer to Forgotten Futures than Forgotten Realms.

Sure. Though I think it will depend greatly on how far you think something has to shift to meet "don't play like D&D." My first thoughts were Traveller, Runequest, and Superhero 2044. FGU had several titles, such as Flash Gordon and Swordbearer, in the late 1970s to early 1980s that were...

The best ones I've ever had were honeydusted and SOMEHOW they had perfected getting the inside cooked, without it gettinghard while managing a crispy surface. Up until then, I was convinced they just couldn't be good.

Depending on the style of hashbrown, yes. (If it's like Arby's potato wedges or McHashBrowns.. yes ) If it's potato pick-up stix, no.

There's a land of difference between a proper chicken-fried steak and a poor cut of meat kissed with flour and then fried and cried.

I'm already onboard, you don't have to sell them harder.

Because it is not a fried tuber.

Your fundamental wrongness has been noted and reported to Frankie Avalon....

With onions!

I stand by the mantra that "The Best Mexican Food is the Mexican Food in front of me."

It's absolutely this. I'm the sole member of the household that isn't fond of Raisin Canes ( I don't actively dislike them - I never crave it... ) but everyone that does is either still in the "everything is too spicey" age or loves the sauce. It's not a bad sauce.
