Our Father, who art in saucepans,

hallowed be thy name;

thy spaghetti come;

thy will be done;

on earth as it is in New Jersey.

Give us this day our garlic bread.

And forgive us our passatas,

as we forgive those who masala against us.

And lead us not into rice tasting;

but deliver us from weevils.

For thine is the pasta,

the meatballs, and the gravy

for ever and ever.

Ramen.

Pasta 19:1: The heavens declare the glory of spaghetti; the skies proclaim the work of His noodly appendages.

Never been a fan of CCGs as their business models are exploitative and inevitably lead to power creep.

Netrunner and Compile have me sorted for card games for a while.

Turns out there are stupid questions after all.

Fusili for the consistent sauce-to-pasta ratio.

Edit: Oops looks like Wardacus beat me to it.

At this point it’s easier to list things that aren’t being “enshittified”.

The easiest ways for a corporation to increase profits in the short term is to increase prices, cut staff, reduce quality control, sell ad space or a combination of those. All of these result in inferior products.

Don’t be evil.

AI is clearly no match for little Bobby Tables.

Across the Anglosphere people seem to use “generally” and “genuinely” almost interchangeably these days.

It’s “a couple of minutes” not “a couple minutes”. Americans tend to drop it for speed, but it kind of fits with the accent I guess.

As far as Americanisms go, this is my least favourite… They seem to be dropping the “go” from the aforementioned and it throws me right off the sentence every time.

Just started reading through Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy and it feels tailor-made for a game adaptation where the player is a Mistborn for hire before the events of the first book.

Most religions believe in some kind of afterlife. We know that’s unlikely to be true which makes this one all the more valuable.

Nice try.

The list of reasons filesystems are not databases is a database.

For old school RTS, Total Annihilation or if you fancy something a bit different then The Settlers II (Pioneers of Pagonia is a more modern remake). I grew tired of RTS and moved on to turn-based but Stellaris is one that recently drew me back in.

For tactics I’d say Advanced Wars, Fire Emblem and Disgagea are decent shouts. Into The Breach is probably my favourite indie of the genre, a lot of strategy packed into a small game.

If you like turn-based then Civ has always been top of my list.

Toxic positivists: Despite the overwhelmingly depressing reality which lies before us, I’m just going to describe anyone that recognises it as mentally unwell, thus invalidating their well-reasoned opinion.

Tangential, but I don’t understand why in American English you feel the need to say the word quote at all. In UK English we just use intenation.
