  • Burger King chicken nuggets from the 90s, before the recipe changed to crap. If I had to pick a flavor that I associate with my childhood, this would be it.

    The Angus Mushroom & Swiss burger from McDonald’s. The Angus was the closest thing they ever had to a real burger, but they were too expensive for most people and were eventually discontinued. Fun fact: wages have stagnated yet their basic burgers now cost more than the Angus did.

    Runza used to sell frozen dark chocolate-dipped cheesecake on a stick. They were delicious, and small enough that you wouldn’t feel guilty about ordering one.











  • Spec Ops actually did have choices where you could be good (or at least less bad), but ironically people missed them because they didn’t think being good would work.

    For example, at one point you’re being harassed by an angry mob of locals. A lot of players simply shot them because a lifetime of experience with shooters told them that no other input would be recognized. But in actuality, if you fired warning shots at the ground or over their heads the civilians would flee without incident.





  • That makes so much more sense. The tip was tripping me up - it looks like the tip of hunting spears that are placed in the way of a charging boar, except without wings to stop the boar’s momentum along the blade/shaft. Or a butt to stick in the ground so all the force doesn’t go directly into your body. Or the thickness to not snap under the massive force of a charge. If it’s used to finish off a wounded boar from a distance then that makes sense.

    Though wouldn’t a spear or even a normal sword be better? The pictured blade looks like it would be incredibly awkward to thrust with enough force and accuracy to puncture heavy hide.

    (And I’m guessing this thing’s existence is because nobles consider spears to be lower class?)
