Oh, cool, this game has two slots open! Oh, you apply by basically making a character and posting it in a forum thread along with tons of other people until whoever is running it picks someone. And even though this game is supposed to start in four hours, none of the people who have been applying for the last week seem to have gotten any replies.
Cool. Great.
If you're really interested in starting something up, I might be down. Not sure if it would be better to recruit here in SE or over in Of Dice And Men maybe.

I'd be down as well. Though I'm not very experienced with d&d.
When I think cheese fries, i think of the way we always got them in Texas, especially at a DFW burger chain called Snuffers - pile of fries, covered in melted shredded cheddar cheese, topped with bacon and chives with ranch on the side.
We moved to Illinois and cheese fries are covered in garbage nacho cheese sauce and they suck. Is this just a Midwest thing? Which one are the REAL cheese fries (it's not the nacho cheese sauce ones.)
Although, one pub here covered them in queso which is pretty alright even if it's just velveeta queso.

We should grab "Dex Dynamo" and maybe Blankzilla and do a wrestling themed adventure...

i have had shitty and fab versions of both cheese options. i sway towards real cheese, but must admit that sauce has more even coverage. my instinct on it is that shredded cheese is for normal times, cheese sauce is more booze and/or 'events' food. chili cheese fries should only have shredded, but for green chile queso...
avocado on green chile mac n cheese is not to be missed, and now i need to go scrounge up some food!

I have never had this. And somehow my life feels emptier.
So many good moments. Kobis flying Grace/Liberty into the sun was both unexpected and great. Fuck... Everything Dre does is great. I really missed him in the ground game. Poor Larry. Oh no! The Maakos! "you were a good dad"
This is all fantastic. I honestly have probably twenty more moments that are worth mentioning, but I'm tired. So good.
Now that I've finished Counter/Weight, I have to say it lives up to the hype. The scale of what they made is incredible.

What if there was a fast food place that was only baked potatoes.
Oh wait.
Used to go there quite often as a kid.
And used to have a baked potato for school lunch a couple of times a week.
Butter, bacon, bolognese, tuna mayo, cheese, beans, whatever. Load that shit up. And don't you dare leave the skin.
And the skin of the baked potato is one of the 2 best parts! (there's 2 parts total but that's not important right now) If it's been baked properly so the skin is crispy but not burnt, after you eat out most of the delicious ambrosia of the potato flesh, add another pad of butter and some more salt and pepper to taste to the inside of the skin and just pick it up and eat it. It's fucking delicious.

The midwest has the blandest, worst food.
Wrong, you just have a really crappy pallette.
And all a baked potato needs is a bunch of sour cream. Don't get me wrong, the whole loaded route with chili, cheese, bacon, and whatever other nonsense you wanna throw on is fine too, but that's just indulgence.
Chilli cookoffs and midwest style BBQ cookoffs and all sorts of great things like that! Plus you in most mid sized cities you get a decent selection of restaurants Toledo has a good number of Mexican places and Chinese places and Indian places are becoming more common. Plus we are like half way between Chicago and NYC so, we are like some weird little pizza oasis here, so many good places to get a pie in one 300k person city.

My trips to the midwest have been a bunch of restaurants mostly serving underseasoned burgers and filled with people who think yellow mustard is too spicy.
I'll stick with my city's incredible food scene with access to literally any country's cuisine within probably 5 miles of my apartment. But I dunno, maybe my palette's not refined enough.
See when people say "underseasoned" that just tells me they've got a crummy sense of taste that's over-reliant on lazy taste-boosters. Most meat, when prepared properly, needs very little seasoning, if any.
(PS in case this seems personal, I'm totally just joshing you.)
if diner food was properly seasoned, you'd be pausing to savor the flavor and not demolishing your seventh plate and can I get another order of onion rings okay thanks
the core principle behind modern "diner food," as applied by some diners and family restaurant, is that there is just so much food, either due to portion sizes or things like cheap pricing or unlimited X offers like apps or sides
this does not necessarily mean the food won't be good! it's just kind of an implicit understanding that you're there for quantity, not quality
it's important to remember that diners have a strong connection to emergency service workers and other people who need to come in for food at 3 AM
it's why many surviving diners are located near hospitals and police stations
and what a lot of those night shifts workers want at 3 AM is something to eat that isn't moving and, preferably, has been cooked, they're not especially picky

Maybe the hardest part of that episode was listening to everyone around Maako die, waiting to find out if Austin would take Lazer Ted too. And then he twists that knife.

I'm really impressed by the escalation throughout Counter/Weight. It starts with criminals running jobs for mid-level bureaucrats and ends with a king fighting a god on the ruins of a doomed planet. The series grew into something really special over its run, in a way that was completely unexpected.

I definitely don't think it should be wholly excluded, and the experience is fairly authentic (especially since you can't get waffle houses all over America, right? Like they aren't everywhere)

Presidents are people too is indeed a nice listen, but it's way breezier than I had hoped for

With vitamin d from the sun and something to give you vitamin a you can straight live on potato.
They're the true super food but I'm kinda biased

STAY THE HELL OUTTA IOWA
(PS in case this seems personal, I'm totally just joshing you.)
Salt is important in a burger because it helps bring out the flavor of the meat.
I mean it'd also help if they didn't use the cheapest frozen beef possible.
A proper diner should be able to execute a basic burger pretty well.
In the midwest you should look for places that offer generous portions too as that is totally a thing about the best diners out here.
You want to go out for lunch or breakfast and have to take home leftovers.
They actually make really good flavorful food AND load the hell out of your plate.
Best of both worlds.
this does not necessarily mean the food won't be good! it's just kind of an implicit understanding that you're there for quantity, not quality
if we're talking actual diners, they still live in a very limited capacity in the midwest
it's why many surviving diners are located near hospitals and police stations
and what a lot of those night shifts workers want at 3 AM is something to eat that isn't moving and, preferably, has been cooked, they're not especially picky
I probably would
No. It's very clearly a house.

I think "diner chain" sums it up pretty well
I definitely don't think it should be wholly excluded, and the experience is fairly authentic (especially since you can't get waffle houses all over America, right? Like they aren't everywhere)
Given their resiliency during extreme weather events, I will also accept the classification of "stronghold".
Listen to this show! It's good!
