Sometimes I like to dip the underside of the spoon and just lick that. Works well for any kind of soup that's been made with an immersion blender, probably works in this case too. (Although, I initially started doing it because the soup was too hot. That's likely not gonna happen here.)

Sadly enough, I've only looked for a few seconds and already found a similar edit to this exact page. At the very least you've got some good patriotic brainwashing going on.

I would be seen as downright evil if I do that.

Being downright evil is the secret ingredient to becoming rich. It doesn't work for everyone, but all the richest people are evil.

It is a sound financial advice, but also a morally terrible one. It's your call which of these is more important to you.

For all I care nazis could be hunted for sport. The problem is, neither I nor other people should decide who 'deserves' violence and who doesn't. I'm not holding it against anyone to punch nazis, but I'd only do it to defend myself or others.

I've played I, II, IV, V, VI, X, XII and XV. VII, IX and XIII are still on my list of games to play eventually, maybe VIII if I'm ever in the mood.

I initially skipped VII because it is just too popular, I already know the entire story - including sequels, prequels and the movie. IX kept crashing on my PC and XIII wouldn't even run - I'm still waiting for a collection on any console I own.

As for the ones I've played, X is the best one hands down. It is incredibly flawed, but still my favorite. The gameplay is the best in the entire series, I actually never liked the ATB even on wait. Instead we've got a great dynamic turn system and the constant swapping of party members was a great addition. The entire party felt useful. I also think the sphere grid is the best level up system in Final Fantasy. It has a great story too, although the really interesting bits about Sin aren't actually explained a lot, instead we waste an enormous amount of time on Seymour who I found utterly boring in comparison. Other than that, X's biggest flaws are Blitzball and the Cloister of Trials - both of which are so clunky, they kept me from completing the game more than once.

From the pixel era, I think VI is the best one - mostly because of it's story. Followed by IV and V. However, I like all of the games I played despite the implementation of the ATB or whatever you'd even call II.

Lastly, I think both XII and especially XV get a bad rep they don't necessarily deserve. I quite enjoyed them despite their flaws. My biggest gripe with XII is that the game plays itself after you've programmed your team, especially with the speed-up button modern versions have. There wasn't much gameplay in my second half. XV honestly only suffers from being too fragmented, half the story is hidden in movies, comics, animations and such. Other than that, I really came to like it once I accepted its action gameplay. I'd even call it my second favorite game overall and would like another game with the same system. (It may be noteworthy that I played XV completely blind, I only looked at trailers and the development history after I finished it.)

I won't get into all the spin-offs, but generally speaking, a lot of them are awesome. X and XV may be some of my favorite mainline FF games, but certain spin-offs are on my favorite games of all time list.

I'm still waiting for a reason to get a PS5 at all, everything I've been interested still got released on PS4 too - except for one single game.

I really don't care for better specs anymore, I probably couldn't even tell PS4 and PS5 games apart without a side-by-side comparison. Not to mention, to see a difference at all I'd need a new TV on top of the console. Not gonna happen anytime soon.

They very much are for a lot of people. Lines goes up, you can give yourself a nice bonus payout and if things come crashing down you leave. With your golden parachute of course.

While they most certainly suck, so do most other people. As long as there will be a secondary market online someone will scalp tickets. Whether that's some random asshole or these organized assholes hardly matters in most cases.

Of course with random assholes doing the scalping there is still a chance to get a cheap one by being faster, albeit a very slim one.

Become a murderer yourself and listen to podcasts about your own case, see which podcast does the most accurate theories.

I guess /s, just in case.

Maybe, but I think it will remain more popular than before. Let's say there are 10% of people in any given group who would theoretically believe bullshit - the number is chosen randomly. Thanks to stuff like TikTok they are way more likely to come into contact with lots of different bullshit to believe in than ever before.

Kind of like how Republicans would be more popular if everyone would watch Fox News every day.

Past low effort video game movies? Borderlands just released. The budget got bigger, but I don't think there's an honest effort here.

Even more controversial, I assume, the Mario and Sonic movies are forgettable at best. I couldn't think of a way to make them more generic without dropping the theming entirely.

On the topic of Mario, how did Jack Black end up in the Minecraft movie? I haven't seen anyone else in there before, I think.
