Hah. That reminds me of the time when I was a kid we went to a Chinese restaurant. We were from a rural area and visiting a city, so this did not happen too often. We get the menues, decide on what to order etc etc. The waitress comes over, takes our orders and recites them while writing them down. Thing is she has a really heavy accent and recites "fried shrimp with rice" as "flied slimp with lice".
My stepfather is trying to keep a straight face but just can't hold it in. He's squirming, red-faced, and tries to hide behind his menu while the waitress keeps reciting the orders. He then excuses himself to the restroom and you can hear him giggle all the way there, then full-out laugh in the echoes of the tile walls.
It doesn't end there though. During dinner we start discussing where to buy chopsticks (we'd never seen them in stores and internet shopping wasn't a thing yet) so when the waitress comes around to ask how we like the food my stepfather (still trying to keep the giggles in) asks where to buy them. He then blurts out "can I buy these?", waving the sticks in his hand.
"You want to buy the sticks??????" The look on her face was priceless. Utter shock and disbelief. But sure enough, they gave us a pair each when paying the note.
Holy mother of cringe I'm still embarrassed over this event.
Yeah, I've never wtf'd so hard in a game as when I entered the thing and left the other thing in the DLC.
That game was so well done and thought through.
It took me about two or three hours to learn to navigate and find my first "magical thing". When I did I was hooked. But yeah it can be slow to start.
OUTER WILDS.
It's a fantastic exploration game if you go in blind and I wish I could forget it all and explore it all again.
Really cool! They kind of look like botfly larvae
That's really nice to hear, I'm glad you liked it!
Yeah, I do agree. It just bothers me that they're trying to pass off emulating a Linux installation (under Windows hypervision) as "installing" and refer to a true install as "bare metal", as if your Windows installation isn't. But it does give new users a chance to try it out.
Ugh, I hate this. At a time when many are searching the internet for guides, they're injecting the search results with "It's better if you keep Windows. But if you really, really want to, you can go through the COMPLICATED process of installing Linux BARE METAL 😱"
"Better save it for the final boss"
"Ooooo I wonder if I can finish this boss without healing, that would be a fun challenge"
