| Topic | Chicken wings: boneless or bone-in? |
| DevsBro 01/03/20 10:53:45 AM #35 | thanosibe posted... The debate of boneless chicken strips being called "wings" is always weird since boneless strips are white meat and wings are dark meat. So they're not even the same thing in any way except for the sauce they are tossed in. But both are legitimately good. That said, 99% of the time it's bone in for me. I'd rather have a buffalo chicken sandwich than buffalo chicken strips. But I do occasionally eat chicken strips.Actually, wings are white meat. I only discovered this a few months ago myself. I was certain they were dark meat. Mandella effect is a b yo. But to your point, boneless wings are still not wing meat. And the really crazy thing is the marketing behind it. Breast meat is normally considered of higher quality than wing meat, but "boneless wings" sell better than other names for breaded sauced breast meat, like "buffalo chicken tenders" or whatever. It's just one example of why I maintain that marketers are the world's smartest people. Psychology makes no sense and these people have mastered it. Also, BWW is alright. Not gonna get the world's best wings (or anything else) there but not gonna get the world's worst either. But I also like McDonald's lol so your comparison might not work on me too well. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

I heard great things about that game, and I thought the premise was interesting, but for some reason it just didn't hook me and I found the whole experience pretty underwhelmingThough it's a lot of fun IMO, I did notice that the more unique mechanics are sadly underutilized. Most of the time it plays just like a well-executed but not particularly unique third-person cover shooter. Of course, the setpieces are killer so I was cool with it once I got a couple chapters in. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

Granted, it did take me a good ten or so tries, but there were encounters in the story that took that much. Speaking of, the hardest difficulty of story mode is no joke either. I'm on 1-7, and just the first part with the three big missile Romanovs is massacring me. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

| DevsBro 01/02/20 2:15:22 PM #56 | IShall_Run_Amok posted... He already did a worse job. People just like to pretend that a disjointed trilogy of films of widely varying quality and qualities is somehow A.) better than the prequels, which suck way worse than the sequels and are almost unwatchable unless you really, really like the worst aspects of Star Wars movies, and B.) not what the original trilogy was in the first place.Right? It's actually jarring af going from ep 4 to ep 5 and watching pretty much every character drastically change offscreen, when they all had fully-developed character arcs anyway. But what V did that made it work was... Well... It was a good movie, lol. Which 2 and 8 are not. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

I mean MGSV took me 170 hours but there were a whole lot of side missions like Tank Unit 1, Tank Unit 2, Tank Unit 3, Tank Unit 4, Tank Unit 5...

| Topic | So building a gaming PC seems to be more involved than I thought |
| DevsBro 01/01/20 12:03:41 PM #7 | If you follow a guide, you really can't mess it up. These pieces are designed so they can only plug into one place. I think the only thing you can plug in wrong is if you have RAM that is split into two chips, you have to plug it into complementary slots on the mobo, but your mobo's user guide should explain that. Also, like mentioned above, take your time with it. It took me five hours to assemble my first PC just because I read everything and kept touching a doorknob obsessively, lol. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

I imagine TC means short like Halo to Last of Us type short.I just went from Suikoden 2 to Vanquish. Both great games, don't get me wrong, but that's exactly my point. Being short wasn't a demerit for Vanquish, since it had everything it needed in it already. Plus the unlockable difficulty and challenges add replay value if you still want more. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

Not completely, of course, but if you really want to pad length, instead of making your four elemental dungeons three hours long apiece, and then revisiting the same element again, how about expanding them from just those four elements to the four elements plus the twelve element combinations? --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

Welp, probably my least favorite weapon, but it's better than nothin'! A couple AR mode shots and he was dead. His health was low enough that I considered just meleeing him but I didn't want to have miscalculated and him still have a wee bit of health left while I was overheated and almost certain to die.
