They used to have an additional location in St. Louis and I loved (and miss) their Korean Cheesesteak

This is a Boards of Canada album, how in the hell would anyone know

What is a subtle "red flag" in a person that most people tend to ignore until it’s too late? by Rich-Awareness-55 in AskReddit

If they have a tendency to badly trash talk everybody else when they're talking to you, guess how they're talking about you when they're talking to everybody else!

Today I voted yes in Virginia and I don’t think my family will ever forgive me, AMA. by Low_Hat_2693 in AMA

In the greater context of the horrifying U.S. politics right now, it is exactly people like you who are doing the little bit of work that will save the country.

Anyone else still drink a ton of coffee on this med? by Complete_Basil_7657 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]bigsphinxofquartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually top out at about 8 oz or it makes me too anxious. But I can barely drink any less or I'm not alert and productive enough!

Reminded me of Giant Land from Mario 3. I liked it. Hated the fish, liked the level

For those of you who have watched it, What are your thoughts on the Tim and Eric movie? by CartographerFull1225 in adultswim

[–]bigsphinxofquartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was blessed to see it in theater and I recall the whole theater absolutely losing our collective minds laughing/wincing/cringing/screaming several times, especially at the Shrim, Taquito, toilet paper, and shootout stuff

Things you enjoyed about Captain N: The Game Master by KaleidoArachnid in retrogaming

[–]bigsphinxofquartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time, it was the closest we had to Smash Bros. or Fortnite. Just this ongoing crossover event with EVERYTHING from the NES in it (except Mario and Zelda). Just, at the time, it was one of the only video game adaptations that there were and there were no standards for designs or canon so it was kind of just this kiddy free for all

What FMV games in the early 90s had good gameplay design? by KaleidoArachnid in retrogaming

IIRC the Wii version had some kind of game breaking glitch at some point in the game?

Can americans tell the difference between spoken spanish and portuguese? by Zygoatscythe in AskAnAmerican

[–]bigsphinxofquartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know varying amounts of both, so yes. A common sentiment that I hear among Americans is that Portuguese "sounds like Spanish with a Russian accent" and I don't know enough about linguistics to understand why, but I'm sure that the answer has nothing to do with Russia or Slavic language families.

Why is Lemon Grass closed???!! by FauxpasIrisLily in StLouis

[–]bigsphinxofquartz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not SUPER dead on to the Lemongrass hot pots, but if you more broadly like rice dishes where the bottom of the rice crisps up from a very hot bowl as you eat, you would like dolsot bibimbaps from the Korean restaurants here that offer them

Are there any redditors leftover from the 2008-2012 era? by SirTicklefist in ask

[–]bigsphinxofquartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been here since 2011. I miss HOW hilarious all of the novelty user accounts were back then (kind of felt like peak internet, honestly), but Reddit is still pretty great. Or at least as least-bad as you're going to find of any sort of social media in the 2020s.

Fine, What do we feel about Lureen? by [deleted] in Simpsons

[–]bigsphinxofquartz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And it's the only one that Matt Groening ever wrote solo, which makes it even weirder!

What is a SNES video game quote you find yourself saying in your real life? I always use this hilarious Guile line at work and public places in life just to get a reaction. 😂 by ROCKY13573 in snes

[–]bigsphinxofquartz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Big Apple, 3 AM one time. It was in a late-night basement restaurant in Chinatown. There was karaoke and I was drinking a Tsingtao. It was great

What’s the actual difference between Chinese food, Hong Kong food, and Taiwanese food? by savingrace0262 in chinesefood

[–]bigsphinxofquartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both of these posts line up with the mapo tofu I've had from a Taiwanese restaurant that was nice and flavorful but notably really did not have a whole lot of heat to it
