I think the Documentary Now! episode, "Juan Likes Rice and Chicken" is better than Jiro Dreams of Sushi

Also Matt's mentor is called Stick, and the turtles have Splinter

Would you tell someone that you'd bang them or date them if you didn't like them?

You know what works really well for lip/mouth burn?

Soap. Seriously, try it if you ever need a nuclear option.

Fair enough. I appreciate your perspective

I kind of like the ad hoc presentation style of the video. The message that it's trying to deliver is pretty incoherent, though. I just don't feel like I learned anything beyond one person's perspective from it

Sounds like a slice of fried gold

I just noticed that he rips up and drops the paper that he gets handed

My favorite part of sex is taking my average sized penis all the way out and putting it back in approximately 300 times

I've never heard people use the terms interchangeably. There are homeless people, crackheads, and homeless crackheads.

Absolutely. Years of dedicated research have been spent maximizing the attention economy

I'm surprised you even found the second owl fight on your first run. The Demon of Hatred is a tough one for sure, but people say he's the most dark soulsy boss in the game. It wasn't obvious to me, but there's actually a way to reliably avoid his charge, and it doesn't involve dodging.

A really tough boss is the spear wielder with his sword pal at the Ashina Reservoir idol during the third act of the game. Fighting them 2v1 is a true test of skill.

A few of my friends and I were really into the game, and we had a blast streaming our playthroughs and watching each other. The only one of us who didn't think much of the game also didn't consider it much of a challenge, though he extensively used Shinobi prosthetics, mortal draw, consumables, and even guides. I can imagine how the game might not live up to its reputation if you're able to just plow through it and not feel the sense of accomplishment that can only come from finally beating each boss after they've stomped you into the ground a dozen times.

I hope you enjoy the last boss and it makes the game seem worth it, or maybe you give it another go using one of the items that cranks up the difficulty, and you find some joy in that. I just think it's a special game, and I want everyone to love it as much as I do.
