    I think they finally built a five guys in my area but it seems like the main draw of five guys is the french fries and I don't really eat french fries so I haven't bothered.

    In other news I downloaded a program to look at 3d building plans for legos so I can build space ships send help

    Oh no I'm just stealing other people's designs from the internet for now to study to get a grasp of how these crazy internals work:

    I like the miniship designs for the potential of a massive scale BrikWars fleet game

    and a few normal-scale ships as capitol vessels for the fleet

    These are for a game similar to BrikWars, in that its a tabletop miniature wargame played with legos. This is the ship version of Mobile Frame Zero, called Intercept Orbit, rules should officially release soon. Mobile Frame Zero is a ground based mech version.

    My main take away so far is that the lego 1x1 plate with clip light is the stuff of wizardry and black lego magic.

    Destiny sure did get good for a little while and then they decided selling dumb bullshit was more profitable than selling content which I guess in their defense they're not wrong.

    I stopped playing Destiny again months ago when I had basically done all of the content, and with their current design philosophy I don't really see myself going back until Destiny 2.

    SRL was cool if a little half baked and i think there is plenty of time for this mysterious destiny event team to earn praise but they really would benefit from having a more public road map

    There's at least a few Wendys around here that basically already look like that

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    McDonald's food isn't very good.

    Maybe they should make better food.

  • ChicoBlueChicoBlue Registered User regular
    No!

    That's too hard!

    We'll just make the chairs a little nicer and remove the ballpit!

  • UrielUriel Registered User regular
    I dunno. New chairs and other renovations in every location seems more expensive than buying better ingredients at the distribution level.

  • Duke 2.0Duke 2.0 Time Trash Cat Registered User regular
    It looks like an Ikea showroom forcefully invaded McDonalds and lost their meatballs in the battle

    I had the mcdonalds mozz sticks. They were the worst mozz sticks I've ever eaten by a large margin.

    Arby's has good mozz sticks.

    How the heck do you mess up deep fried cheese

    Oh no actually their doing that too. I can't find the article again but they are going to start rolling out things like a full salad/soup bar, digital menus, and those little order kiosks. Also while they will still have the McDonalds classics their going to add more premium stuff, like their angus burgers that are made of better, fresher ingrediants and are bigger like a burger youd make at home.

    I don't think its going to work! When I go to McDonalds I want 20 Nuggets for $5 and like all the McDoubles at $1 each. Not fancy shit

    McDonalds is shitty in exactly the way I want it to be shitty

    Whenever people talk about how shitty certain fast food restaurants are, I start to wonder if those chains are actually just shittier in the US than in Canada. Like how US Walmart is noticeably shittier than Canadian Walmart (like, Walmart isn't great here, but I've been to a few in the States, and hooooo boy).

    I had a buddy get a parmesan chicken sandwich at burger king. He comes back, and he's like, "you know, that wasn't very good!" And I'm like...of fucking course it wasn't

    Walmarts vary pretty wildly

    The one near my house is pretty nice

    The one 20 minutes away is a grabage pit

    Canadian McDonalds is by far the biggest change IMO

    the shit ive had in mcdonalds down the i95 from toronto to florida is gross as fuck compared to the canadian versions

    Man I wish Culver's was local. The nearest one is an hour away.

    A Culver's recently opened up a quarter-mile away from my house.

    I have had to work very hard to keep myself from constantly buying cheese curds.

    Just as much as, like, every other thread?

    Like I can't think of a major recurring thread that hasn't taken a multiple page detour into fast food talk

    And there was a lot of Giant Bomb related talk in the thread, most of it I'd say.

    I'm fine in the podcast thread too

    I just know that some people view the giant bomb thread regulars as a deadbeat college friend who asked to
    crash on the podcast thread's couch for a few days and over a year later they're still here and they won't even pick up after themselves

    Actually that just jogged my memory of something I wanted to try and make

    Not necessarily a game but sort of an interactive fiction thing, along the lines of both A Sailor's Dream and Her Stort

    The idea being that it's a phone app of a radio interface, and you can tune into different stations

    Most of it is static but you can stumble on number stations, stations emitting morse code, news broadcasts corrupted by distortion and interference, etc., and you have to slowly move across the dial to piece together a story

    I have no idea what that story IS, I just think that'd be a cool delivery method

    I've been trying to think of some small scale game ideas, maybe I'll take a crack at trying to put that together

    I haven't listened to any bowie today

    because I'm a horrible sentimentalist and feel like I should listen to the albums of his that I own on vinyl but I'm also too lazy to set up my record player

    I'm pretty sure the bad food thread had this exact same McDonald's conversation, only there no one was surprised that McDonald's mozz sticks suck.
