has he ever played a straight up villain

He was on this show, "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air"

I mean, his character *personified* chaos. Poor little Carlton. Poor Uncle Phil.

All it does it let you headbutt blocks above you, but literally the only 2 times you can do that is to get some health in 1 single spot in Armored Armadillo's stage, and to get the Arm upgrade in Flame Mammoth's stage. So the entire point of the Head upgrade is just to get you the Arm upgrade >_>

What would you have it do instead? Maybe another 25% damage reduction, to stack with the body armor's?

It's basically a FFMQ that sobered up and got a real job.

This is a good description. The art style for the cutscenes is maybe not what you'd expect from a AAA studio, but in-game it's fine. Very SNES-era, and you've gotta know that's what you're getting going into it.

I got very far into Shadows of Adam, realized I made a couple of mistakes in getting limited (though not particularly important) items, and decided to restart...I just haven't yet.

If you're into that, 8-bit Adventures 2 is also really, really good.

So, *Free Guy*, but the cameraman?

Other than in comparison to a normal American diet, I would not consider 250 grams to be a low carb diet.

If you want to watch a show with the cast dynamics of Friends, but actually laugh at the jokes, watch "Living Single" instead.

Oooh, yes, this. *Living Single* was on for a long time and it was good.

Seconding Third Rock, too. I watched it not too long ago on one of the streaming services, and it still holds up.

Oh, I didn't consider suggesting one of my own. If you want a slightly younger option, there's a whole bunch of Saved by the Bell.

Roseanne was really good for the time, especially if you disregard the last season. Some of the pop culture/issues of the time will feel a little off, but if this isn't your first time dipping into older shows (assuming you didn't watch when it was new) it probably won't be off-putting. Frasier was probably funnier when it was funny, but the laughs weren't quite so frequent.

Bananas are pretty carby. You may want to keep them on rotation with avocado, or maybe kiwi if you can budget them in.

Might try some lower-carb fruit: dill pickles, strawberries, blueberries. You'll get a bit of sweet, a bunch of water (and some salt if you go pickle), plus you can consume a visually-significant volume of food, and that helps too.

I haven't begun tracking my macros, but just doing high protein, low carb. When fine for a couple days, but halfway through my pork chop, my body basically said no more. A few minutes later, my stomach was growling, I only wanted carbs.
Any of you experience this? How long did it last? I may just calculate my macros for a carb diet in the meantime.

When I had a craving for something carby, I usually tried to think about what it really was I wanted. If it was crunch, I'd get some nuts or pork rinds. If it was sweet, I'd have a protein bar at/for my next meal, or some teriyaki jerky, or a piece of dark chocolate. Or if I just wanted to break diet, I'd think, "Yeah, but I can eat bacon" and then I'd eat bacon. I also found that when I did have cravings, it was because I wasn't eating enough, especially if I had been being light on veggies.

If you aren't specifically trying to do low carb, you probably don't need to track your macros, just calories.

The how is George's job status not a spoiler?

You could probably call George's employment status/work ethic a characteristic. He's a realtor when the show starts, IIRC.

I mean, the world could use more Traylor Howard, but we've probably had enough Tony Shalhoub.

TIL Showgirls is in Saved by the Bell's canon

Locke and Celes must have stopped to fuck, because all they had to do was like walk two miles.

When Locke's scenario begins, he's just finished doing what he can to slow down the invasion/spy/whatever. Presumably he spent some measure of time *doing thing*.

I mean, they still hooked up in Sabin's chalet though, for sure.

Yeah he talks later in the song about getting stoned.

So it's not cigarettes he's smoking

For a time it was very in to roll your own cigarettes, though I agree that's not what Hank was talking about.

You mean noted environmentalist James Francis Cameron? The one who has a Venezuelan frog species named after him, while lesser talent Steven Spielberg does not?

I'd rather have exactly Xenogears combat, with or without gears, in a new setting/story.

Have you ever tried to do anything with wood directly from a live tree?

Its pretty hard to use for anything because its still wet. You cant even burn live limbs you pull from a tree until the fire dries it out.

Fallen trees are perfect.

No, I get that (I even kinda said it specifically). My interpretation here is that Willis is the fallen tree, and "taking wood" out of him is adding insult to injury, or kicking him when he's down. So putting aside the fact that it's probably a poor choice to metaphorically describe Willis as a fallen tree (he isn't fallen), taking wood from the fallen tree would be the sensible thing to do, rendering the euphemism confusing.

I like trees so I keep an eye out for phrasing that incorporates them.

the_pika posted...

why is it ok to make wood out of a fallen tree like this

I am not familiar with this expression. I love it, but I might need to workshop it a little (a fallen tree is the ideal one to take wood from). Perhaps "take wood out of a falling tree", though that implies Willis is falling. "Take wood out of an ailing tree" may be too on the nose, though both more apt and sensitive to the situation at hand.

Might be worth checking to see if your heater is still working well? Get a spare thermometer and check the water temperature (do thermometers go bad? I genuinely don't know). Have your fish *been* happy at that pH level, or has it changed recently with the move?

Consider not escalating.

Compasses will now all point south and we'll have massive internet arguments about magnetic south vs true south

No, though the poles are "overdue" to switch. Could happen any time, though I don't think it happens quickly in any frame other than geologically.

@doomsd no more so than we would be if this wasn't happening.

The deal is that the core's rotation is +/- whatever the crust's relative rotation is, such that sometimes it spins faster than the surface, sometimes slower. Right now, or soon, their paces will be matched; *from a certain point of view* the core is not moving relative to the surface, which is how the outlets posting this story (and the OP) are coming up with "the core is stopped".

Almost literally this:

I read about this earlier today. I'm wondering if this is getting the attention it should.

Shame on you for repeating the clickbait title these articles have been using.

1) If you're married, get on the same page. Then when you think you're on the same page, make sure you're really on the same page. If you are not married, make sure everything is only in your name.

She's got a husband and a kid now, and let's face it, she's getting PAID on those reality shows. Between that and her hubby's residuals from LotR, she probably can do just enough music to make her happy - or none at all - and be very comfortable. Once you've had real success, and I think it's fair to say she did, your priorities could shift to wanting that family time instead.

Like Metroid?

I was really hoping they'd go "Chronicles of the Shadow War", which I guess they could still do. Honestly, Willow just needs a class change and it'd be fine.

I hear your objections, but

>Officer Scut Farkus

Played by the original actor? They've got the OGs for Ralphie and his buddies too. I, uh, am hoping that there's any way this works out. RIP Melinda Dillon though.

Beans for breakfast has never been one of my traditions. Having said that, beans and rice is a complete protein AND very cheap, able to be prepared in bulk, etc. It doesn't sound appealing to me at all, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at it.

I tend to have eggs (hardboiled, fried, or scrambled) or another meat protein (usually bacon), some berries (blue, black, or straw), and maybe a carb of some kind.

Y'all missing out on those mushrooms though. Throw those in the scrambled eggs, finish with a little spring onion? NOM

Uematsu, but Hamauzu

Hannibal, and to a lesser degree, Hannibal Rising.

Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon (and maybe even Manhunter) were great adaptations, but Hannibal is so bad, and the thing is that the book might be the best of the series, but if you've only ever seen the movie, you'd never know that.

Hannibal Rising suffers from "Let's take three pages from each chapter" script writing.

Yeah. I just finished the 13th and final episode. It's funny, I had never seen Jennifer Aniston in something where she was that young. It's difficult to imagine she could be *that* pretty, especially considering how good looking she still is.

It's really awful in a tremendously wonderful way. Imagine Saved by the Bell if Zach was Ferris AND all of his schemes worked out. It's very fun and very 90s. Watch the first episode - you'll know at that point if it's for you.

Now go watch the show. The whole thing is on youtube.

I find Eichner's character (or is that just him?) that he usually plays to be obnoxious. In the same way that I find Pauly Shore obnoxious, or Bobcat Goldthwait charming *in very small doses*. I'll watch this when it hits streaming, but if it's more that guy and less Felix from "Friends from College" (very toned down), I don't know how much I'll take.
