Get some dried wood-ear or shiitake mushrooms. Soak them in boiling water to rehydrate them, then use that mushroom-infused water to make your noodles. If you’re using shiitake, fry them up in a pan; wood-ears are ready to eat without doing so.

Throw some kimchi in there, too. It’s good for your guts.

Corporations and billionaires spend a ton of money to prevent people in the USA from having access to basic medical services as a way to limit professional mobility, forcing folks to stay in exploitative jobs which they hate.

I should really visit France sometime. Sounds fantastic.

The only way to settle this is a machete fight.

The thing is that Nazis say all kinds of things that are supposed to make them look smart and cool to their pathetic dipshit friends.

I make it a policy to require at least one more source above “a Nazi said it.”

That’d be an awesome setup for a moon or antarctic base.

Oh, for sure. It’s have been useful information to communicate!

But telling kids to wear two condoms is insane even by American South standards.

I didn’t go to a “religious school,” but I did attend public high school in Texas.

Our health teacher was a coach, and he went over sex education. One day he said that condoms don’t eliminate risk from STDs, they just reduce it by about half. Even wearing two condoms doesn’t really eliminate the risk, it just reduces it by another 50%, so you’ve still got a 25% chance of getting something.

I was a pretty naïve kid, but even I knew that was fucking stupid.

My dad became a Christian Nationalist, but he loved Jim Croce when I was growing up.

He really liked the song Which Way Are You Going, but true to the song he’s got “one hand on the Bible, one hand on the gun.” It could have been written about him, but he still thinks he’s the pinnacle of righteousness.

It blows my mind that some people on my team were excited to watch the commercials during the Super Bowl.

I live my life in a way that minimizes the advertising I’m exposed to, and some people are just mainlining that garbage.

I should try it on my Steam Deck, I wonder if it’s any different with Proton?

I believe the difference is that it actually emulates the hardware instead of just making the stuff you have look and act like it is compatible, but I’m far from an expert.

I really enjoyed Midtown Madness 1 when it came out, if 2 doesn’t work I think 1 would. Thanks for the rec!

I have it from GOG, but the control mapping is still pretty bad IIRC.

I should really give it a go here, good idea.

Ooh, it’s even got Mercenaries. Thanks!

I really should play some of the M:TG game, I remember it being a pretty great version.

Thanks for the recs, you’ve got great taste and I’ve never tried a few of these before.

I’ve been looking for an .iso for this one. I think the best versions all ran on DOS, but I’ve got that installed too.

It’s easily one of the best games of the period. The intro is incredibly cool.

Jagged Alliance is a great idea. I think I even have those other ones on GOG, which I bet will run just fine on PCem.

Cool, I didn’t know there was an open-source alternative. Thanks!
