If we do something can we do it locally? I need to studyyyy.


OR, can we do dessert after 9pm on Saturday or Sunday?

I think this works for me

These meetups sound so fun.

(unless they include strip clubs)

edit: or suspicious chocolate eggs

I once asked my Amazon Echo to find the location of the nearest strip club on Christmas.

 

[hirokazu]

Yes. Very much so, especially if you like Spidey.

HOWEVER, it doesn't really deviate that far from superhero (or even Spider-Man) movies in terms of plot, so be aware of that if you already have superhero fatigue.

One thing that I think really helped was that they kept it friendly and in the neighbourhood. Not every superhero movie needs to be about stopping a world/galaxy-destroying threat.

I hope Fox takes that cue with X-Men.

This is funny.

I did that foot peel thing. Waiting for my feet to peel.

I hope I can get hands on with KHIII on Saturday. I just want to touch it.

I will be very surprised if it was playable.

And yeah, I'd probably wait in that line if it were

Battlefront was playable at the last D23 so there's a chance

Don't get my hopes up dammit.

The thread on gaming side got mine up. They're saying that a popular YouTube's is getting hands on and is gonna stream it on twitch. I'm hoping that means there's a working demo.

 

[Izuna]

Might need some help.

Lady came by the store (technically yesterday) and wanted to sell an iPhone 6S. It's Rose Gold, 16GB (but locked to a network I don't use which charges £15 to unlock)... The screen was broken but we're a repair shop so...

I offered £135 and she agreed.

Anyway, I'm in my room rn with a fully working 6S (Screen replaced, Touch ID and 3D Touch both work) but tbh I'm not used to this OS at all. Should I go to CeX and exchange for a used S6 instead?

If I sell it on eBay it looks like I'll get roughly £40 profit however.

OculusRift on sale for only $400. Meph picked up a set. It's pretty cool

Seriously?!

Let's use BigScreen and play in Rec Room

Add me on Oculus Home when you set it all up (I gotta unpack first).

 

[Izuna]

I heard good things about it, and sure. You'll have to wait a week for me though-- otherwise contact StMeph if you want to play with him immediately.

I actually got a second set for myself for $300 on Amazon (limited deal).. so both Meph & I can play! I'm pretty excited. Love it so far.

My older brother and I want people to play Rec Room and stuff like Star Trek Bridge Crew with, so next week, you're on

Hey everyone. Coming in late on an invite that I didn't notice for 10 days and probably at the worst time of the day to post on GAF, but whatever, cause you have yet another Korean to deal with now.

I'm mostly a lurker because I don't like posting anything unless I've read all the previous posts as I don't see the need to say anything someone else already said. I'm also a semi-luddite so you're gonna be waiting a good long while for that food pic.

 

[Moonkid]

Welcome! Lurking's all good, I do it half the time :^)

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Welcome. Lurk away my dude.

Fooooooood pic? Will wait!

 

[Goofalo]

I'm glad the requirement is food pic and not a gif of you writing your name in the air with your butt.

The older I get, and not matter what different groups I run in to, Asian people like maing each other do this after several drinks.

Hm..... We've never done this. It's still funny though. Now I want to see somebody do that.

What's our equivalent to the $30 Italian Meal?

I had to look that up. I feel he very much overpaid for that. Unless he means $30 is some depreciated currency.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

I'm going to hazard a guess and say he did overpay it and converted it to how much it would cost in Murican moneyz.

Fuck.... For $30 I can go to my local grocery store (Asian of course), grab a cheap chopped up roast duck, some fried rice or sticky rice, and possibly some eggrolls for the same price or similar. I can go to a sit-down restaurant, order a medium or large pho, side of eggrolls, another dish or two and still come close to $30.

Now I'm just hungry 🤤

 

[[boots]]

Thanks guys ^_^

I'm pretty sure I know which pic you guys are referring to and yeah, $30 is way too much for that. Unless you're paying $18 for presentation...I mean - brown paper bag and all...

Man I hate living in KY....I miss my Chinatown...

 

[BLOODED_hands]

That's why I love living in the Twin Cities. So many East and South East Asian restaurants and grocery stores. We don't have too many South Asian restaurants in the Twin Cities though (maybe I just haven't looked hard enough).

Food is cheap and good (always depending on where you go), and plenty of variety.

I have to drive 40 mins for Indian and an hour for pizza that doesn't kill my soul a little with every bite. Every time I see a Cuban person I fight the urge to grab them by the shirt and yell, "WHY WON'T YOU OPEN A RESTAURANT HERE!? WHY!?!?"

There goes your million dollar idea for your area. Time to open a Cuban restaurant, fam. Then watch the money roll in (or not).

No way. I'm saving my money to open a Chinese bakery. Those cream buns could probably steal business away from the meth dealers around here.

It's all a front anyways (not serious by the way). Those buns are actually filled with drugs, in your case, METH!

 

[Goofalo]

And buns are soft enough that if you lose you teeth to meth, you can still eat them.

And I think I just found my vice president of marketing...

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Systembug and I are Graphic Designers. We can make this work. Bunny deals with numbers.

 

[Toki767]

I've been telling my friend that moved out to a 95% white city that she should open up a dim sum restaurant there.

It doesn't even have to be super good. But she could probably charge a decent amount and still get a lot of business.

Holy SHIT! you should see what they call sushi here in Louisville and what they actually charge for it....and the fools flock to these places in droves.

FeelsBadMan

We could take a page out of Family Guy and put buzz words into the marketing and dumb idiots will flock to the food = money!

Paired with weird Japanese-style naming conventions and yesss... = money indeed.

Alright, guys. Thanks again for the warm welcome, but it's bedtime for me. Looking forward to contributing more here (or just more lurking). Have a good one everyone.

Edit:

Wait. = money would be a kick-ass name for a sushi place. This OT is a entrepreneurial goldmine!

Okay, seriously I'm out now.

 

[Izuna]

Thought I heard "nigga" 2ft away from me and some chuckles. I look left and it's a Chinese tourist group.

I'll cherish that cute moment. I live in a sit-com.

Just the other day I stopped to listen to an old guy play the flute because I couldn't figure out the song he was playing. Got rickrolled.

Bkb, be sure to download Rec Room and Big Screen.

*moves to Louisville and opens sushi joint

I typically don't hear great things about seafood from landlocked states.

Oh God.... My mom just told me to go and get married.....

 

[Goofalo]

Oh God.... My mom just told me to go and get married.....

My mom stopped telling me that. Bittersweet.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

My mom stopped telling me that. Bittersweet.

This is her first time telling me that. Never told me that during HS Senior Year nor during College. I'm going to have to tell her that I just don't see marriage in my foreseeable future and that I also don't want to get married. I'm a damn mess and nothing's going to fix that without a stable mind, and possibly some medication.

 

[Izuna]

Oh God.... My mom just told me to go and get married.....

Better than being told to get married even if you get divorced just to see what it's like.

 

[Goofalo]

I told my parents I wasn't going to get married or have kids because of my illness. That was a rough convo.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Damn.....

How old are you?

25.

It's no biggie and I think, deep down, she understands it. It just kind of took me by surprise when she said it.

 

[firehawk12]

She says that in Cantonese after hearing the other woman speak Mandarin.

I don't even know if anyone else would appreciate this joke, but it's one of the reasons why I think Family Law is better than FOB at just being about a Chinese family living in a western world. lol

LOL those smiles are great

Serious question: if you have mainland parents and start dating a person of Taiwanese descent or vice versa (Taiwanese parents, dating a mainlander), would your parents approve? I've never really had to deal with that since I'm fourth generation out of China.

 

[Septimus Prime]

But but Taiwanese people speak Mandarin toooooo.

Right!? I was thinking that, too, since my family is from Taiwan, and we speak Mandarin.

 

[Zoe]

I would think you could tell by the accent.

 

[firehawk12]

Taiwanese American here, and my dad was not please with my mainland boyfriend. I was born here, ex came over at an early age. My parents are racist.

Yeah. It's weird though, because my Mom is Malaysian-Chinese, she's actually "bilingual" in terms of Canto/Mando, so there aren't the same cultural hangups.

I guess it's similar to like... being Protestant and dating someone Catholic. Or whatever the Western equivalent is these days.

I would think you could tell by the accent.

Yeah, although I don't think the show got that specific. The woman literally just said "ni hao" and she went off on her ex-husband in Cantonese. lol

 

[Septimus Prime]

I would think you could tell by the accent.

Nah, we ABCs can't hear shit.

 

[ActStriker]

I can kinda tell if someone's a Hong Konger when they speak Cantonese.
