I thought i had to get my mum to make me Chicken Tendies to go with my Mountain Dew and Doritos? Am i doing it wrong?
( As a European, WTF are chicken tendies? Are they Chicken Nuggets? or Chicken Strips? )

Quebec sure is a long ways away from Louisiana. By the way in Quebec is there is a lot of stuff that is very different there than the rest of Canada? Like how you can only get certain things in Quebec and not the rest of Canada and other stuff that you can only get outside of Quebec? When it comes to stuff in general I have noticed that they seem to exclude Quebec for some reason.

Quebec is pretty different from the rest of Canada, yeah. French Canada in general essentially has its own culture separate from the rest of the country. So we have a lot of stuff like local music, TV, etc, that is unique to us.

Not sure what you mean specifically about Quebec being excluded, but for things like giveaways and contests there are local laws adding extra hoops that companies often just can't be bothered to jump through. So it's easier to just exclude us. :disappointed-face:

To be honest I have no idea if there are a lot of items you can only get here and not elsewhere in Canada but ya there are online stores that refuse to ship here or refuse to ship certain items. From what I understand stores, such as Bestbuy and Footlocker, don’t ship here if packaging isn’t in french and english. Other stores I’ve never had a problem, like Amazon for example

Bought ghosts n goblins, i'm going to be stuck in the first checkpoint for hours am I?
Yup, something like that. After nearly 2 hours, I've only managed to reach the first checkpoint and I'm getting bullied hard by the plant section after it. It's brutal.

The secret about Popeyes is the best menu item isn't even chicken.

Their Red Beans & Rice is likely the best drive-thru meal on the planet.

I get the family size with a biscuit on the side. You break the biscuit pieces into the Red Beans, only a few at a time.

It makes a whole meal and it's gd incredible.

Funny side note, my wife knows I've been obsessed with Popeyes Red Beans for decades so a few years back when we had a rando trip to New Orleans she made reservations at one of the best restaurants in the city that served local fare. I ordered my Red Beans & Rice as a meal. Of course they take it seriously enough there that it's an entrée selection.

It was okaaay. It had sausage bits in it so that was cool. But it was no Popeyes Red Beans. It lacked the flavor profile and tasted a bit bland in comparison. Mind you, this was like a $30+ plate.

So I asked the waiter where locals went in the city for the best Red Beans. He said, "You really want to know? Everyone just goes to Popeyes."

LOL.

You sir are not making it any easier for me lol 😂
Closest Popeyes for us here is in Ontario. Ottawa actually, which is about 1.5 hour drive ... so yaaaaaa

Buttt if I ever get to go to Popeyes I’ll definitely try out the red beans!

Last year the participant list for PCGS was revealed on June 8th (and the show itself was on the 13th, just like this year), so we should know what to expect on Tuesday.

Yeah, the package including them all is about 20 bucks which is quite good, but also a bit much for me right now. I'm a bit undecided given the footage I've seen ^^.
Missed the packaged version. prophecy, as I understand it, is a standalone expansion with updated rules. So may be worth a look at that. It also updates the original so you could always go back at a later date.

One of the worst feelings is when Im about to click the Steam icon in the taskbar, but then I misclick and click Origin or Xbox App. They both start up so slow and laggy.
Two easy solutions for that:
a) remove Origin and Xbox from your taskbar
b) use the windows key + number to start Steam instead. If Steam is the first icon on the taskbar, Win+1 will open it.

I plan to remove the Xbox app from the task bar once my game pass lapses next year. Unless something changes, I won't renew game pass.

I am annoyed at the Points Shop: this game has only 1 emoji exchangeable for points.

They'll probably find ways around it, and there's the obvious corruption issue but I am still glad for the move. Little steps.
Ireland first said that they won't do it because they gain nothing from it. If tax is same in all countries around the world big companies will just go to biggest cities and countries and smaller ones will get nothing.

We'll see :). I do think that this is a little incorrect, given that the 15% tax itself would be far from nothing.

Can you also edit files on game pass version? Certain mods requires some file editing. There are reports that some map mods straight up doesn't work because they require you to change up some files. No idea why, but game pass is such a shitshow it wouldn't suprise me.

I think Microsoft could buy Compile Heart and finance all their development for 10 years without even noticing a change in their balance sheets.
It obviously isn't going to happen, but I have to admit it would be funny.
Would Compile Heart's budget even show up as a footnote in MS' financials?

Imagine Phil Spencer or Matt Booty saying "welcome Compile Heart to the Xbox family!!!" on the E3 stage and Xbox fanboys are chanting "wow bravo" on their seats.

Lmao.
