Polenta and cornmeal are pretty similar and ate elsewhere.

Yeah they are. Well the offer stands if you cats find yourself in Georgia and I am still here then I will hook you up. Bottom line.

Yes, I ate cornmeal before but I didn't have "grits." The name itself doesn't exactly inspire hunger.
It's also a Southern thing. My first time in NY on a family trip, my father tried ordering grits during breakfast and the chefs brought out a box of instant grits mix they had lying around in the back which was a no go. Same with sweat tea, you order that you're getting either something from a can or tea you can stir sugar in yourself.
Funny enough, but South Florida tends to work the same way despite being in the South and the most southern part of the US, but it depends on where you go.

Growing up in Nigeria, we ate something called fufu. However, we use cassava to prepare that as opposed to cornmeal.
Kill la Kill was not that good and that finale, outside of one scene, was just more of the same lazy/bad animation that plagued the whole show. It was entertaining, but man... The show just wasn't that good. Anyone who says it's on the same level as Gurren Lagann is a clown too. Terrible pacing, downright boring at times, characters generally just sucked or wasted space, absurd cheese.
Could've been great. Should've been better than it was.

I can't remember the last time I interacted with or came across a human being that I wasn't related to who knew of and/or has eaten Fufu or Cassava. I think I'm going to like it in here.

I haven't had grits since I was a wee young lad. Always had to put sugar in them.
I was watching Today Show and they were talking about bugs in spring time and it just reminded me of how much shit you have to "watch out for." No wonder America is so on edge, we are conditioned to live on the precipice.

Even Black Gaf recommending Yamato? I might have to give it a shot.
That clothes metaphor fell apart so hard. Shit was only a little coherent at first, but it was pure gibberish by the end.

I think KLK is a bit better than GL, but that's because I hit the GL train loooooong after the show was a thing, and honestly GL is about the same quality/story wise as KLK. I think what edges KLK over GL for me is that KLK has a better cast. (whereas GL has a much better ensemble of villains.)
I dunno, they're completely different for me lol. but like most Trigger shows I won't really go back and watch them. maybe like a couple of episodes.
Lmao
@new dude Overall, we talk about day to day stuff but if you want to talk about anything pertaining to black community or whatever, we can

Today on GAF, I learned that apparently you can't be offended by one incident that is being called racist but not another completely different incident without being a hypocrite.

The physical form of blasphemy
I like Ragyo more than the main villains in GL. Satsuki and her four Divas were awesome too. That's where my praise stops. There was no weight to anything unless Satsuki and her crew were involved.

bitch I'm taking calls.
This was too hilarious to not re-quote.
Part of that is because her theme song was boss as fuck. If you don't set that as your alarm clock in the morning you lost.
Satsuki is nominee for GOAT Animu girl
I guess KlK and TTGL were made by the same people? I see them getting compared a lot.
I think what TTGL had going for it over KlK was not only pacing, fight choreography/animation, and characterization, but clarity. KlK got too muddled in its clothing metaphor (compare to TTGL's drill motif, which was clear from start to finish), its characters never really developed, and it struggled to establish stakes due to it's haphazard pacing. Simon was a much better lead than Ryuko with a more developed sense of purpose and a story with more natural progression.
Not to say KlK was terrible; I'd have dropped it if it was. It had its moments and it did start really strong. Ragyo was a contender for Dio-tier villain for a minute. It was entertaining when it wanted to be. But overall, it was a disappointment.

Replaying FFX for the first time since I was a young adult (30s now) and Auron's far less cool than I remembered. Just a dick who doesn't say shit that needs to be said. That causes problems.

I agree. I would have been fine with an official protagonist switch.
And grits have so much potential-fuck sugar tho

did Klepek ever apologize for being dead wrong about Sony?And then 'bowed out' on twitter:

Never took anything he had to say seriously from day one. Most of us have seen that type come and go. His posts never read objectively anyway, but i figured peeps were just giving him a pass.
And so on.
Damn shame a man had to come in and put out personal info to clear his name.
my man.
there was actually a thread on here not too long ago that absolutely shitted on GL.
which is weird because i remembered most of GAF enjoying that ride lol.
