I fuckin love the wrestling carny speak.

Edit; some explanations

Mark = a potential wrestling fan, typically someone willing and able to suspend your disbelief so you can enjoy the show. Sometimes a mark can be a 'Smark' or 'Smart Mark' which means they don't really bother with the suspension and just lean into the spectacle.

Shoot = a wrestling storyline, since wrestling is basically a soap opera, and the wrestlers are actors

Worked into a shoot = someone who has bought the storyline so strongly that they end up playing into the storyline with your own actual emotions

So, what he's saying is basically "don't get so caught up in what they tell you that you end up fervently believing it's true yourself" and that's just beautiful

Boy I hope they reconsider. Terrible way to go stuck at the bottom of a vertical shaft

I honestly don't know what they were thinking, because I am right with you. The first game was just that, a real tight video game whereas the sequel was trying too hard to be some kinda simulation and stumbled over the line of sim/fun into boring.

Yeah, there's logistical problems with, say, a soup stand: How do you deliver the soup to people? Reusable ceramic bowls? Those are gonna break eventually, needing replacement, and they're also heavy as shit. Plastic? That's not super good for environments, people will toss them in the trash, and plastic isn't reusable in the long run on such a small scale. The ideal bowl would be like what Tim Hortons had for a while, bread bowls, but that itself is another logistical problem of producing your own bread bowls. Edit: Fuck me was this back in 2001? I'm turning to dust by the day

There's logistical reasoning as to why you typically get soup at kitchens.

Equal parts that, and also I want to give a little reward to people just for having posted, y'know? Encourage more discourse. It takes a really shit post for me to rethink making that little golden bear.
