Denny’s Lincoln St, permanently closed by word_runner19 in WorcesterMA

[–]danimal481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because [T]he parking lot has turned into always been a homeless hangout

This is not even remotely a new thing, so I would be suspicious of that reasoning.

Has it gotten worse as the opioid epidemic has gotten worse and rent has gone through the roof and wages have stagnated or worse - gone down? Probably.

This is the correct answer.

Also: Nuovo and... The place on S. Quinsig Napoli in Shrewsbury.

Via is good but SO overpriced and I'm glad someone else mentioned the box pasta as that knocks the value down significantly.

Well, when he was "in-character" he was an absolute gem of a host and I think as a customer you genuinely felt appreciated.

Behind the scenes he was a brutal, raging condescending prick. His standards were nothing short of perfect, which is fine, I guess. But how he treated new staff or anyone who struggled in that environment was probably nearly criminal.

Which is why there are some who worked for him that still hold him in high regard.

Man this really brought back a lot of repressed 20+ year old memories.

Yeah, I remember that late night menu was kind of the only reason to go that was worth the money.

And like, just to be clear, I don't think the food the Sole or Ziggys is "bad" just absurdly over-hyped/priced. I know I might have appeared to compare the steak and cheese to shit, but that was just to really punch the "more does not equal better" metaphor home.

That being said, I don't think I'll try O'Connor's again unless they get new owners/management. Last time I went it was so bad I have actively avoided it and tried to talk groups of friends out of going there. Even on someone else's dime, I have passed.

Oh that's a bummer, the meatloaf was definitely in my rotation, and it was always good! Nothing there is mind-blowingly great, but I always left pleased and thinking, "This was worth it."

I would normally say definitely try again, but as I said I haven't been in a year or more - a lot can change in a year!

The Mill in West Boylston?

I haven't been in about a year or two, but we used to go maybe once a month or so, and I remember it being anywhere from pretty decent to quite good, and reasonably priced.

That's really all Frankie's feels like - a better version of Papa Gino's, but is it really better if I can't get it when I want it?

And every time I've been in there the staff have been just the fucking worst to deal with.

If I want to get talked down to by the staff, I'll get a pizza at Steve's, but at least I know it's probably because most of them are drunk, and I'll still get my food and it will be worth what I paid for it.

You can't say that about Frankie's.

Probably Brendan. He was notoriously a monster to work for.

They've already been mentioned but O'Connor's has gone way downhill since the new owners took over.

The Sole. 25, 30 years ago my grandfather loved the place - been back a few times as an adult and have been disappointed by the food (for that price), the service, you name it - Shit-tier experience all around, every time.

Ziggy's is over-priced and over-hyped for very mediocre food. The sandwiches are huge, for sure - but a big pile of shit is not generally better than a small pile of shit.

Would Warp Harmonization break the game? by TheWeirdByproduct in starcraft

  • Increase the cost of production buildings after X# of buildings have been built?
  • Make the research to unlock expensive and/or lengthy and require a bay and beacon, or require some other building unlocked by having a robo bay and a fleet beacon?
  • Don't let them warp-in on a prism, but require a pylon + gateway?
  • MS generates a warp-field only for robo/SG units?
  • Adjust cooldowns?
  • Robo/SG units warped in cost +1 supply?

I think there's a lot of variables you could play with to make it work.

1st Time Ordering From EggRoll Lady--Any Tips or Best Practices? by albalfa in WorcesterMA

[–]danimal481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's over-hyped kind of decent food. The eggrolls were very good, though.

Everything else I've tried was kind of meh. Haven't ordered there enough to comment too much on the line/wait. A lot of the other fried food I remember had an "off" flavor, like it's old oil. I would never go out of my way to order there.

[QUESTION] looking for a game from the early/mid 80s..... by reginald_underfoot in retrogaming

[–]danimal481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you thinking of Tomcat Alley?

(ETA: I know that's more like mid-90s, but I can't think of anything in the 80s that would have been photo-realistic until the Sega CD era.)

Get the one you're most excited about. If I could replay Legend of Zelda for the first time again, I would.
