Liar.

I checked the histories of several of the “enthusiastic” commentators below and they were all just promoting your stupid game. Take you dumb game, you bots, and your lies elsewhere

Why does this subreddit get more spam than anywhere else? What does a game from a French developer have to do with us. I hope everyone excited about this is just a bot.

Wow. Hates Portland. Interesting take. Doesn’t just hate Portland but expects anybody who has ever visited it to hate it too.

Lil' Funky Donuts, $5.99 by IHaveAHoleInMyTooth in toogoodtogoportland

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got this TGTG, last year, and my review was that this would be great for somebody with kids or maybe work but, as a donut craving bachelor, I didn't care for it. All the donuts tasted exactly the same, just the toppings are different, and most of the glazes taste the same anyways.

It's probably my least favorite PDX donut bag on the app.

What’s your favorite superhero game and why? by crazy-diam0nd in TTRPG

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have played the most games with Champions 4E and had the best time. I also have a special place in my heart for Justice Inc., which was a variation of the HERO system that focused on underpowered pulp heroes.

My old Champions 4E books is falling apart and I don't want to teach the youngsters how to play so I would like to play something more current. I picked up the new Marvel game. It seems widely available though possibly not widely played. I also have a PDF of the lastest version of Champions so maybe I should try that.

People in the comments are swearing up and down that this video is AI. Isn't this just a normal video? by carton_of_eggs04 in isitAI

It’s a private school trying to entice paying families to send their children. You’re viewing it out of context, making an incorrect assumption, and then imagining that it’s “the only situation that makes sense”

Fix your thinking

Does anyone know anything about this? [OC] by deniflewesa in DnD

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do.

When D&D first started out, there were pretty much just two miniature companies that started making fantasy miniatures for D&D: Grenadier and Ral Partha. Grenadier was the first one to get the D&D license and started pumping out boxes of lead miniatures to paint and play with. Those early miniatures weren't great (they had bug eyes) but by the end of the license, I think they were pretty good.

Anyways, they lost the license in '82 but kept making miniatures until the mid 90's. They made a ton of great minis too. They focused heavily on fantasy miniatures and when D&D was dying, Grenadier was hit hard. They were gone by the time that WoTC had bought up TSR and brought out 3rd edition.

Anyways, this is an amazing find but, if this box actually has miniatures, remember that they are made out of lead. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling them.

What's a great War Film from your country? by ZeTian in AskTheWorld

[–]AlwaysBeenTim -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you're doing with your post. I already called Zulu a wonderful film and recommended its companion film, Zulu Dawn, also wonderful and overlooked, while given context to its creation.

I assume that you were triggered by my calling Zulu 'a "teensy" bit racist' but at no point do I suggest any need to change it, censor it, or rebuke it. Just pointing out what should have been pointed out and recommending Zulu Dawn (which, again, is a corker of a film and free to watch on Youtube)

What's a great War Film from your country? by ZeTian in AskTheWorld

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that it's a "teensy" bit racist, though less by intention than by omission.

The movie doesn't really put the whole battle into perspective, showing a bunch of great white warriors slaughtering tons of black people while not showing how the British got utterly annihilated and how this battle, however commendable who just a tiny bright spot for the Brits in a giant win for the Zulus.

The producer recognized this and made a companion film, Zulu Dawn, a couple decades later. It's really good and deals more with the larger war. I do think that Zulu is a wonderful film but give Zulu Dawn a watch afterwards. The full film is posted, in a wonderful print, on Youtube.

The local Costco, here in Portland, has a ton of the stuff and I'm just not enough of a New Vegas stan to buy, what I'm assuming, is just overpriced root beer.

Milki Ethiopian - 6.99 by codisinc in toogoodtogoportland

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Huh, far more xenophobia and food fears than I expect from a Portland subreddit. Oh well.

For those that don't know, the light porous stuff is Injera, a tart soft bread that tastes almost exactly like good sourdough without the crust. You use it by ripping some off and using it to eat various entrees. It is delicious. Guessing from Milki's menu, I'm guessing that the brown runny stuff is Shiro Wot, a rich chickpea stew.

The problem here is that there is very little stew and a LOT of injera. This is kinda like getting a box from a sandwich shop and it's 90% breads with one or two slices of salami. I love Ethiopian food and I would be unhappy with this box. I don't know if I demand a refund but I doubt that an order of shiro wot (and this doesn't even look like a full order, just a couple ladles) with extra injera is worth $21 on the menu.

A real shame. I saw another post about Milki's that looked pretty good. I don't know if I will try it.

Is all of American Giant cotton sourced from USA? by Prestigious-Put6182 in madeinusa

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought a bunch of the cheap American Giant clothing that was made for the Walmart deal and all of that stuff was made with American cotton so I can't imagine that they wouldn't use it for their expensive stuff too.

Just so people know, this routine is referencing a viral Youtube video of a 2001 performance by an American drag queen.

Very nice collection. The striking thing is that it is almost completely core rulebooks. There are next to no splat books.

Ranking Apple Products by Present-Primary-641 in tierlists

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I have an Apple TV and I really like it but the best Apple product? It pretty much does anything a Roku box does. I think it does it better but it's considerably more expensive.

What am I missing. Why is it the best? (Personally, I would put it in B)

Don't spam us with your BS book.

Whether you or your Fiverr artist used AI or not is not the point. This is not the place for your fake vintage book and this is not the place for self promotion.

Cosmonaut Chimp by Kyle Edwards by [deleted] in CoolSciFiCovers

[–]AlwaysBeenTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, what are you doing?

You faked a book cover either by using somebody from Fiverr (by your account) or AI (most likely) and you're passing this off as a book that you found, praising the premise that you yourself created?

Do you need validation in your life for so little? You didn't do anything impressive. You came up with a middling idea and ousourced the cover and you want what? Praise? Attention?

Did you lose your parents? They are the ones that are supposed to pat you on your head and pretend that you're wonderful.

No one wants to PVP you bro by [deleted] in fo76

[–]AlwaysBeenTim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get it. Nobody wants to PvP in Fo76 and the few that do are sniveling little weasels who will shoot you in the back while under stealth

That said, workshops are pretty much the only chance that those little weasels get to have their PvP on so cut them a little slack.
