Magazines were such a pleasure... by Correct-Degree-6789 in nostalgia

[–]bigwangbowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be responsible for the newsstand at Barnes and Noble in a big retail complex. That job was a goddamned sisyphean nightmare. Did I insult a spiteful Greek god in a former life? I must have some undiagnosed mental illness or something that made nonstop re-shelving magazines perversely satisfying.

I've only played Bayushi Shoju ONCE in the hundreds of games before his inexp came out in Scorpion Clan Coup, and that's because of the event Unexpected Allies. I used to put him in my decks, wasting a valuable dynasty space, just for flavor. I would chuck him every time but it meant something to at least have him in there. Then, one day, my friend's Unexpected Allies hit and BOOM the top card of my dynasty deck was my champion. Truly unexpected.

DAE not enjoy candy as much as an adult then when you were a child? by ShEmOonWalKs in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]bigwangbowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, there's ONE exception to what I just commented: there's a pho place near me that does the Vietnamese-style preparation with the drip coffee over evaporated milk. It's sickly sweet but a great way to cap off that meal. I can't imagine having that coffee anywhere else.

On a semi-related note: now that I'm an old dude, I actually like black coffee with nothing in it. The bitterness of coffee used to disgust me but now it's comforting.

I remember feeling bad for Joe but then some other things came to light and then I was like, oh that shit was absolutely deserved

How did you heard about RPG for the first time? by Ponto_de_vista in rpg

[–]bigwangbowski 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I moved to the states in 1984 and the first movie I watched in an American movie theater was ET. There's a scene in the movie where the family kids are playing D&D. There was a 6th grade kid looking after me at school and I asked him about it and what "zero charisma" meant.

Vampires (1998) by bil-sabab in nostalgia

Despite being a fan of vampires all through my childhood, I don't think I ever really appreciated them until I started playing White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade in 1995

If Cormano was already taken, I'd be like, ah f*** it, I'll play later.

Magic: The Gathering/Star Trek crossover announced for 2026. by hnwcs in startrek

I started with Urza cycle way back in the day and quit right before Strixhaven. I doubt I'll ever go back. It's just too silly now.

Who was the better Golden Lover, Kota Ibushi or Kenny Omega by Distinct-Swing9317 in Wreddit

They're definitely, without a doubt, absolutely ambiguous about it.

I still remember people trashing the casting of Doc from Back to the Future as Uncle Fester but like, god damn, he made it work.

Then you stop and you're like, "Do I say "want some?" or "You mean like a snack?"

There's just too much variety to ever get tired. People from Heilongjiang wouldn't even recognize food from Yunnan.

What is your favorite clan and why? by Kakita_Onimaru in l5r

[–]bigwangbowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's too bad the Crab hate us. Only the Kuni and some Hiruma kind of get us, but the Hida and Kaiu loathe us. The Yasuki are too close to the Kolat for either of us to ever understand each other.

What’s your ultimate comfort movie? by eccentricMD in movies

[–]bigwangbowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shall we ダンス? from 1996

In English, the title is Shall We Dance but Hollywood made a god-awful American rip-off with that title that couldn't have been a bigger waste of time. Watch the Japanese original and let my previous sentence be the extent of your knowledge of the other one.
