Congratulations you're now a snake

Rival developer? Please, I'm pretty sure the call is coming from within the house here - this is exactly the sort of thing 4chan would do because a game asked them pronouns or gave them a wetsuit skin instead of a bikini one

It's one of those things that feels really obvious if you cook a lot of east/south Asian dishes - shrimp sauce and mushroom soy sauce have a pretty similar aftersmell to them because they're so concentrated

Fuck it we should do the masked singer thing for chess. Masked grandmaster!

Clair Saffiz now has Her own channel and some of the other former Bon Appetit chefs appear in her videos. Most of them are pretty nice informative cooking videos, but she does occasionally do the "Clair has a mental breakdown while trying to cook something" format like with her gingerbread house video

God fucking damn it people you know this is literally a stonetoss comic right? This isn't a funny meme you're quoting an actual neonazi.

Also in art apps, because it's not uncommon to want to undo and redo the same action over and over to see the difference something makes

...except gimp and krita. Seriously get your damn act together youse two

We eat minke whales which are listed as "least concern" so not really?

I find the best way is to establish where the main thoroughfare is, and also the old part of town. That's usually where there's shops and nice places to wander about window shopping and looking for food options. Bigger cities often have multiple versions of these things so you might need to walk around a few to get a sense of which ones are touristy and which ones are something else.

Once you sort of have your bearings, think about what this place is famous for in the sense of "when have you heard about this place in an everyday context?". Was there a famous guy who did stuff here? Did something big happen during the industrial revolution? What was the war situation like? If there's any big notable things that spring to mind, chances are there's a museum or monument or thing about it. And obviously what springs to mind is going to be different for different people. You might instantly go to some botanist who worked for the national gardens while I might think of some architect who designed a bunch of metro stations, while someone else thinks of that really well preserved tank they have. Don't go "I have to go to these places because they're famous", go "oh that's where that I thing I know is!"

Alternatively, super niche but if you still use Pokemon go/Ingress, open it up and see where portals are scattered. Generally speaking if there's a lot of portals in one area, there's something interesting there. Also idk about Pokemon go but ingress has a 'missions' mode where people make little pseudo-orientering maps where you have to run about looking for a specific location, and they're often themed.

In Australia I had the option to learn Japanese and then when I went over to Europe my school specifically had a Chinese option, both for "facilitating trade and future relations"

Ngl years later I kinda only use my Chinese skills when I'm at the Chinese market and I'm trying to find the right ingredients for something, and I reckon out of my entire class I probably benefited the most out of taking the language. It isn't the cultural trade exchange they were hoping for...but hey, it's pretty useful being able to correctly identify stuff when the English stickers they plaster on the label are vague at best and incorrect at worst

If you like DOOM's OST, have you looked at ULTRAKILL? It's similarly stupid high energy (though maybe less metal and more breakcore) for a similarly stupidly fast pace bloody shooter set in Hell

Neither is lapis. Like come on, rock is literally in the name people
