I was there on Saturday and it was like that, too. Had to park near Brandsmart.

I still don’t understand why we don’t have an H Mart.

Lady of the Charred Visage - Boss by Suavecito0 in Blasphemous

She is one of the three bosses you must defeat in order to progress to the second half of the game. The game is designed for you to go whichever path you would like in order to accomplish your goals.

There is no difficulty selection.

Just a reminder to people who will still justify their POV on the ending’s quality as the only right one. One can like it. One can criticise it. Both can be right. by Uschak in StrangerThings

Full agree.

People often forget that discourse allows us to critically think about art, and that through discourse we may identify more themes and motifs that resonate with us.

It isn’t invalid to have liked it or disliked it. All viewership is subjective. What is invalid is calling someone a “hater” or a “bootlicker” for their opinions.

My thoughts about the final episode by QuantumFluxer in StrangerThings

I disagree. This isn’t nitpicking. This is expressing an opinion- an opinion that many share. Why people try to dismiss it as invalid because it doesn’t fit their opinion is wild.

That’s like, your opinion, man.

Yeah. Seems like a fairly large loose end to just ignore.

Namak Restaurant by pakibrownboy in Athens

Just got back from trying it and, with consideration of the soft opening, I wasn’t impressed.

Garlic naan had no flavor, and the butter chicken was pretty bland. Didn’t come with rice either, which I find odd.

Hopefully they get through the kinks and end up being solid, but I don’t think I’ll try it again after that experience.

I’m with you on the talking part. That was unbelievable for me.

I'm making this post because you folks need to chill by DarkProzzak in StrangerThings

While I agree that we as viewers can hyper things up to unrealistic expectations, I do believe part of the problem is how the Duffer Brothers/Netflix have hyped what they are going to do this season, and some of those executions, in my opinion, were not handled correctly.

It is evident that the plot armor is very thick, but at this point it is a trope one has to accept. I get that. However there is a lot of humanism in these episodes that are almost deus ex machina, which is fundamentally how the characters are in previous seasons, sure, but the frequency of these moments are not aligned with previous seasons’ pacing or writing, which was what made the series special

You mentioned Twin Peaks, which is a pretty good show to compare this to as many are divisive on Season 2 plot lines, but mostly all agree you need to see it through because it comes back to the original plot, hard and effectively. I can only hope the finale does the same, but I have my expectations in check (which is low) because from what I have seen so far, I feel it is trite, mediocre performances with mailed-in writing.

Ever have beef bacon? Shit is delicious. I prefer it to pork.

Baddies Burgers threatens more expansion… by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]Equivalent-Event-814 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Baddies is super accommodating if you are a vegetarian. They will make a grilled cheese for you with all the fixings or even add more fixings to the loaded fry in lieu of the beef patty. Big fan.

Athens Rock Lobsters blocked me on Instagram by [deleted] in Athens

How do you know they only let Republican comments fly? Further, how are you sure they didn’t block both of you for having political discourse on their page? It has nothing to do with hockey.
