    not after spending hundreds of dollars on the meal! it's not like you can get it pro-rated.

    do you pay up front though

    just cheese foam floating in perfume served in a man's hat it

    just cheese it

    presumably you made a reservation

    doubt you'd be able to get away with it

    and you'd have to get everyone else to go along with it.

    That fake mouth foam thing looks like it belongs at a bachelorette party, on a plate garnished with gummy dicks.

    yeah but it's not done bad in the other games

    Depends which, going back some of the shit in those earlier games was esoteric af.

    Agreed that it doesn't mesh very well with modern game design sensibilities, though, and generally they made a lot of choices that make it a rougher-edged experience than it needed to be.

    Overall I found the game quite good, though.

    i believe it was they didn't offer anything in place of the dish the person was allergic to, not that they knowingly served the person a dish that contained ingredients they were allergic to

    which is still self-important wank about your artistic vision or whatever but not malicious

    That would be an important change from this sentence of the article
    When Rand was served food he was allergic to, repeatedly, because they didn’t care enough to accommodate his.

    idk we mostly agree but it is important to me whether the restaurant did merely self important wankery or whether they served allergens

    And misery loves company

    I hope you enjoyed this performative art piece

    Well like, to be clear

    One of the bosses you have probably beaten already has a secret kill animation if you've unlocked the morph ball before you fight it

    So you definitely can explore, but it's kinda hidden and not super obvious.

    Anaphylactic shock is part of the dining experience, so the chef can rush out with artisanal epinephrine served from a syringe made from the spines of a horseshoe crab's carapace.

    The booster took me down for extra days compared to second shot. I think it was because I didn't stay hydrated the day after the booster because I was sleeping pretty much 100% of the time.

    The only thing I think is that if this is the reaction to the vaccine - I'm really glad I didn't get meaningfully exposed to the virus without it.

    yeah the theory that your vaccine reaction could indicate your reaction to the virus is like

    can't get worked up about there not being a non-shellfish foam for one of 27 foam courses. You still can have 22 other spoonfuls of foam

    it's not a given that a restaurant is going to work around someone's individual constraints; we expect that as americans, and it's very nice when places do but it's not mandatory

    I also fuckin love the commitment to the bit of 'don't eat the orange'

    I don't really exist in a world where I see that sort of hard-core performance art/avant garde stuff where people are just enthusiastically and totally committed to the concept and don't break, so it's fun to see

    I want the chef's response to be just the pictures of the horse but with no words attached and you're supposed to figure out what it means

    Fair.

    I just know I felt like hammered shit when I was awake (fever, aches, very specific kind of aches behind the eye balls - which was weird) which is why I was sleeping so much - anything to avoid the nonsense.

    Speaking of commitment to the bit, on pistonheads there is a guy selling a Citroen C2 to which he has fitted a turbo V6

    Then made it all-wheel drive by the simple expedient of getting a second, complete turbo v6 with gearbox and fitting it to the rear of the car in addition to the one in the front

    It is the builder's second attempt at such a project after the first attempt, er, caught fire

    Yours for £22,000
