Heh. We still have VCRs, and at least 2 VCR/DVD units.

Hey! Sometimes, that preamble has important info & context!

You did what you could, and more than most would.

Another cooking thread of mine got necroed, so I figure that I’d link to it here. https://www.enworld.org/threads/recent-kitchen-experiments.422153/

All 3 of okra, filé (sassafras) and roux (flour cooked in oil) operate as a flavoring as well as a thickener. Of them, roux is the one most universally available. Filé can be bought online, but I don’t like Amazon.🤷🏾‍♂️ So you’d have to find your own spice vendor. Penzey’s, maybe? Roux...

You forgot that Alpha Complex (the setting) is operating at very much an Idiocracy-level of comedic malfunction. It’s Logan’s Run as written by Mel Brooks. It’s THX 1138 as warped by ubiquitous manifestations of Murphy’s Law.

There’s a meme about that:

Ozymandias is arguably as super as other characters like Batman or The Manhunter (Paul Kirk). IOW, Oz possesses a combination of physical and mental human attributes at levels that are highly improbable in a “non-super”- including catching bullets without it being stage magic.

Unless they mention a particular brand or style, chili sauces can vary in spiciness almost as much as pepper sauces. Personally, I need to lean how to make a good Chinese hot oil. There was a restaurant near me that made a superb one, but they closed a few months ago. Instead of it just being...

The Bible Belt states are also concerned about S-A-T-A-N, and many believe RPGs are one of his tools. Don’t be surprised if someone targets gaming boards

My oft-stated take on 4Ed has long been that it would make a GREAT classless toolbox system. Freed of D&Disms*, 4Ed’s core mechanics could easily support several genres of play. * which, to be clear, I definitely like in my D&D

I still believe there’s more good people in the world than bad, but the past decade or so has made me consider it’s not by as big a margin as I once thought.

Oh no, I’m not doubting that, but I know enough do. So I don’t want to come across as authoritative on that point. As someone who generally doesn’t like okra, I usually avoid it. There’s a Filipino restaurant near me that makes a grilled okra dish that was surprisingly good, and I’ve learned...
