I wouldn't buy a full pie from Pie Hole, but for "grabbing a slice as you walk by," it's pretty solid.

the main christological difference between catholics and muslims is easter and "did they actually manage to kill jesus or was he elijah'ed". the main christological difference between a catholic and a mormon is Everything

I used to work pizza, my standards for "good pizza" is a little different - I care a lot about things like acid balance and sugar content in the sauce, the proof on the dough, the butterfat content of the mozz.

Oh - Pie Hole on S. Broadway is one of the few NY-style by-the-slice spots you'll find.

I've heard good things about Blue Pan for detroit style, and both Pizzeria Leopold and Cart Driver do a pretty good... what to call it? More italian than italian-american, without being full on neopolitan pizza.

Fat Sully's has a few locations around, and they do a pretty solid NY-Style slice, as does Sexy Pizza, which is less my preference.

White Pie does a great New Haven style, if you're looking to branch out, and I don't hate Blackjack for "cheap middle ground delivery."

What goes in to good pizza for you - are you looking for a new york slice, detroit deep dish, or the more generic American middle-thickness bite?

Denver is now receiving its first appreciable snowfall of the winter.

Iran: check this shit out. I literally just drew a big picture of a soldier on the ground. The American AI spent $150 million trying to kill it.

Had a similar conversation, and found out they'd watched nothing past TNG.

Which - okay! TNG has got some great stuff!

But I wonder (silently, to myself) which part of DS9, precisely, turned them off.

Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW β€œWe’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

There's a whole set of histories that my name appears in, that is viscerally important to a few thousand people, almost none of whom I will ever meet or interact with again.

I wound up being (depending on how you counted it) the second or third ranked healer in that game.

I would do amazing acts of acrobatics just to appear out of nowhere and pick folks up behind enemy lines.

I've never found a shooter that let me do that again.

MAG was the first shooter I really fell in love with.

I was a random nobody in the entry level maps, but a clan was rolling through with a member who'd just prestiged, and they saw that I was a random nobody who had both an active mic and a medkit, and went, "we can work with that."

Banished could be any one of a hundred city builders, it's just so easy to lose a few hundred hours to them.

I probably started that with Sim Tower back in the day, then Black & White 2, then...

Mass Effect... god, what is there to say.

Maybe this:

Hardspace Shipbreaker is wonderful, and about something, and offers near-limitless potential for future games to build on what they did.

I *love* the "tidying up" genre, and this is my version of Powerwash Simulator or anything similar.

a close up of a cartoon character 's leg with a green background Alt: A squirtle with anime speed lines around it holding aloft a pair of angled sunglasses before putting them on and striking a pose.

Pokemon was too big a part of my life for too long to not make it on the list; I never got a DS, so Emerald was my last game until X & Y (which I bought with a partner).

It marks my departure from "really giving a shit about this as a series," to the world of "I'll check in on the fandom."

Karan S'Jet, with all of the Mothership's sensors as her eyes, her voice breaking, watches the world she gave her life up for burn - and me sitting there knowing that she is the loneliest woman in the universe, because she alone of the survivors can't even be held in her grief.

As for homeworld:

The triumph I felt, hearing the chorus swell as the Mothership leaves the scaffold, the yearning & hope & joy-

Then Samuel Goddamn Barber kneecapped my heart, and through my tears replaying the mission over and over for no mechanical benefit until I could save every cryo tray.

Hypatia Cade being both a disabled person and a space ship that (spoilers) cashes in her savings to afford a full robot body with haptic feedback so she can get absolutely railed did something to my sexuality at an early and formative age.

I'm the one who introduced Minecraft to the Architecture department at UNC Charlotte, and as such I am responsible for more person-hours lost in that department since Wild Turkey American Honey.

I keep coming back to it. I don't know if I've gone a month without playing it since 2010.
