I'm an artist, i think majority of artists are moronic trannies with no grasp upon reality and its why they have so many mental illness and their cope is they are "creative" "quirky" no you're just moronic and nobody has told you that gayget.
on the contrary, anyone can create 'art' as art is one of the most basic expressions of human nature
not everyone can have their art appreciated or reach a high level of technical skill because they aren't creative enough to work around their own handicaps or willing to put in the effort that goes into being semi-decent, that and they hold twitter artists that draw pinups as their standard for "art" and only see it through a lens of making money
Do you see anything resembling videogame/anime "art" in museums? No, I've even seen literal dots on a canvas be called art, something being considered art doesn't mean it's not garbage.
Pals in Palworld aren't just party members. You can use them as slaves, weapons and traversal. You can't equip Charizard as a weapon and spew fire in Pokemon.
Wrote and re-wrote several replies to this, agreeing with "Palworld vs Pokemon", but couldn't come up with a great way to word it, so I'm just gonna give a shoutout to this FPBP:
Sure, cheap Asian takeout may not have wagyu beef or have 81 Michelin Stars, but man, even after all this inflation shit, I can still go to this hole-in-the-wall and feed three fricking people off $14 for their "bento" box, it's three whole styrofoam containers full of food, one has a bunch of fried shit, one's full of salad stuff and the sushi, and the third is packed to the point of damaging the container with whatever frickin' entree you want. We don't do it too often, but damn, that frickin' thing could be stretched to feed five people, and all of it is somehow B-tier food at a D-tier price.
Problem is I live with two elderly fricks who decided that 20 years ago they'd latch onto this D-tier Asian restaurant that's overpriced as hell and uses 3-day (maybe 4 days) old oil for all their frying, and these two homies can't tell despite getting this nasty-ass fried fish every time that stinks up the car when I bring it home.
I guess it does match OP's comparison.
Palworld and rando tiny Asian restaurants: >cheap >not tied to some megacorporation >tons of content, though it's not well-refined or polished >surprisingly good for the price >actually gives a shit if something is wrong, devs are (slowly) fixing most of the main issues and few people go "nuh-uh, Pocketpair are great, you're just a hater!!!" >feels like someone involved put in some personality into it (mainly the animations and the guns for PW) >undertones of plagiarism, though there's nothing concrete
where the frick can you get the left for $12?
my take out place has that for like $50 + tip
Depends on where you live, how thorough you look, and how picky you are.
Hell, I just had Filipino food, (pork sisig + pancit), a completely full tray that looked like that, for $13 today. It was from a tiny indoor mall. Lumpia for $1.50 each, and each one is the size of an egg roll.
(me)
Bonus points for that stupid-ass Asian restaurant they've latched onto: the absolute cheapest meal there is like $15, and that's like, Teriyaki chicken during their lunch special.
Grosses me out to walk out with food for three people and a $60 bill, I've stopped tipping there entirely.
Teriyaki chicken meals cost basically nothing and only take like three ingredients, there's a reason it's so cheap everywhere.
>Year of our lord 2024 >Poorgays still pretending to not understand that fine dining has small portions because the meal is divided into multiple courses
You don't pay 200$ for food
YOu pay $200 for eating AT their restaurant, the atmosphere and shiet
Granted some expensive restaurants actually have a good chef who can make a god-tier meal
It's pretty cool for the experience, sure, but man, most of the time it's not worth the extra cost: >costs literally 5-10x the amount of eating somewhere else >often generic "fancy French food" unless you're lucky enough to live somewhere with high-class foreign food >never anything surprising or interesting unless you go to some place that specializes in something weird like molecular gastronomy or uses some supremely rare ingredients, which costs 10-20x more instead >often located in some insufferable place like Seattle or San Francisco >almost always in one of those "rich bubbles" in an insufferable place like Seattle, where it's nice for a block or so, then you're getting yelled at by a homeless guy >often located in some place where you have to pay for parking, unless it's super fancy and there's a valet service (+ tip) >often includes some kind of dress code, basic or strict >annoying cloth napkins >fussy plating to help justify the cost >heavier incentive to give a hefty tip >wine uncorking fees >despite the many courses some places have, you're locked into their portion size, which often leans a bit small, especially since it takes a while for you to get your full meal
Besides, I like cooking, and half the shit I'd eat there I'd rather like to try making myself, unless it's something annoying like lobster/crab.
Hell, I've got a $30 sous vide machine that puts out better steak than half the fancy stuff out there.
Props to fine-dining not having screaming kids around though

Why is that so bad? Maybe he's just going in circles because that's what he's comfortable with. Repeating patterns that he knows in a new environment. If you think about it like that, it would be kinda weird if he didn't behave like that.
As long as he doesn't starve himself to death or walks off the muscles on his paw bones, going in circles is just an old habit.
I saw the world famous polar bear whathisname at a Berlin zoo 2009 or so. The dude was glitched walking front and backing up for like ten minutes. It was really sad looking at him. Still had to hold my laugh though because it was unreal.
Me after I move back into my family home after I inherrited it. >Everyone dead >4 bedroom house >Still stick to using just my old room >Still bring my meal upstairs so I can eat alone even if no one else will ever be in the kitchen
Game devs before and after they get rich or noticed. They become lazy and less competent overtime and release things sporadically. Toby Fox being an example.
Steak seasoned with salt fresh ground pepper and maybe 1-3 other ingredients served rare is better than 99.999% of all other dishes and it's not very impressive looking either.
the $200 is because the ingredients and the place where is served, and no im not talking about vidya, also $12 is incorrect because that thing cost minimum $20
>Year of our lord 2024 >Poorgays still pretending to not understand that fine dining has small portions because the meal is divided into multiple courses
I've eaten at a $100/plate place. It was pretty good. Better than a $20/plate restaurant. Depends on how much $100 is to you. I would not do it again, because I am poor, and it was not five times as good.

Thanks for the heads up, I've never had sea cucumber before. I'm a huge fan of eel, though. Shit's stupid expensive though so it's mostly a guilty pleasure.

Eel kicks ass, never got why some people think it's gross. Unagi is one of my favorite orders at Japanese places.
I love it but I'll admit I have some reservations with it thanks to a bad order of eel giving me the worst food poisoning I've ever had. Took a long time before I could eat it again. Still did eventually anyways because it's so goddamn good.

It's poisonous if not cooked right, so that makes sense. >According to Boston.com, eels have poisonous blood that contains a toxic protein that makes muscles (like the heart) cramp, which is why raw eel should never be eaten under any circumstance. However, when eel is cooked these proteins break down and make the fish safe to eat.

seems like all the best food is. Oh well. Still good shit.
For me, it's >Bruschetta plate with fresh baked bread and fresh mozzarella >Calamari >Stuffed Oysters >Salad >Penne >Veal Marsala >Tiramisu
Never forgot that veal months after
Is veal as good as they say it is? I hear people b***h and whine about veal all the time but I also hear people go on about how it is some of the most tender, delicious meat you'll ever have. Is the hype true? Never had a chance to try it myself.
the place i went to had three to four bites for each dish and there was three of us, so i guess it was
1.save space on the table
2.let them time to cook it and have it still be warm
3.pace out the meals
I thought this was the case as well, but it ended up just being 3 hours of talking and a small piece of some fancy desert
tasted good but I left so hungry
The majority of the left hand pic is cheap fried rice with a total of 8 shrimp (likely farm raised) and some cut up chicken breast or thigh. You're getting little quality food from that. This isn't even to argue about how disingenuous this pic is as mentioned.
I miss having good Chinese food. Both my favorite places are gone now. One was a more authentic Taiwanese place, the other was the best American style Chinese I've had. There's like 5 or more Chinese places in town still, but they all suck in comparison.
I honestly prefer going to Panda Express over the other crappier places sometimes. The fried rice at Panda Express blows but kung pow chicken and teriyaki chicken are decent.
The authentic Chinese food I've had is typically better on average, but damn I love American Chinese. Nothing like getting sweet and sour pork with fried rice and pot stickers. Maybe some Mongolian beef and chow mein or Hong Kong pan-fried noodles. Great every once in a while.

Do you guys think evey place is a denny's or something
as someone who used to be a waiter at a Michelin Star Restarant, ill tell you your getting ripped off
The chefs still cook with the same 2$ Sunflower oil and spices you can get it in the supermarket, the quality isnt better
the talent behind being a top chef is dressing your food in a manner that looks expensive but isnt.
The stars themselves are scams. There's a reason why the majority of them are in France or bumfrick nowhere, bumfrickistan, population third world. There's fricking market stalls that have stars because the buttholes handing them out travel all over the world on the Michelin Man's dime.
That's kind of the funny part about Michelin stars, most of the criteria are all about fame, "culture", and appearance, not about the food itself.
It's why you get a bunch of highly-rated restaurants with SSS-tier food with zero stars while all the restaurants with stars are serving samey expensive food and have samey waiters and samey chefs with samey plating and some samey restaurant name like "Passion" or "Josephine".
makes sense that a waiter doesnt understand the intricacies that are involved in creating a restaurant menu.
You first need to obtain a good location with rent you can afford to pay, you prob need to partner with something like a hotel to manage to have customers or be really tiny space. You might need to use the same kitchen for breakfast and for dinner in multiple shifts to up the number of paying customers to stay afloat.
You need to make smart decisions about ingredients you can afford to buy and can be made into a high quality meal. It can't be extremely complex to make because in the end it has to be made by a guy who deems it acceptable to live as a food industry worker. It's a whole big process to come up with a new men and every change brings in friction since people need to be brought up to date with the process. Cooks needs to be trained to make every prep step and plating that ends up on the customer.
Many restaurants are chronically understaffed, people are asked to work way longer hours than 40h a week because its for the team, theres no one else. Oh a guy was offered a gig to drive a taxi or clean apartments to make better pay, better start recruiting part timers and immigrants who might even speak the local language.
Alongside that you need to invest into all the equipment necessary, things that cost 5-10k a piece and hope the people you hire dont break them or anything.
>you might need to use the same kitchen to produce different dishes
Black person you do not know what the frick you are talking about. You literally just described menu changes which every restaurant ever does. You didn't even address the real (non) issue around menu changes which is ingredient storage space.
All your other bullshit is basic managerial logistics that has frick all to so with the craft itself. And the icing on top is you are talking this bullshit to a high end waiter because you functionally do not understand the difference between a high end waiter and an applebees waiter. A real waiter has to be intimately familiar with the menu on a level that probably surpasses most everyone working in the kitchen.
>waiter's opinion
You're not the chef though, you're the person who brings out the food, so your opinion is irrelevant. >The chefs still cook with the same 2$ Sunflower oil and spices you can get it in the supermarket, the quality isnt better
You can give everyone the same ingredients and resources and you'll get 10 different results. Ever watch the Japanese show Iron Chef?
Luxury restaurants are primarily for show and the experience
Anyone can make the food they do, and more of it, at 5% of the price given the right recipie and instructions
Luxury anything is a gigantic fleece
>made friends with a classmate in college >later found out he's filthy rich >he invited me to a graduation party, told me to dress up >shows up to a restruant i never heard of, he and his family is there, just 6 people, his brother and gf is there too >go to a private room with 6 waiters ready to serve >the menu has no prices >got really confused, asked what I'm allowed to order? >he said don't worry, order anything i want, they already paid for the afternoon
shit's was crazy
And its pretty easy when you just cook, or even most fast food places now have apps that are constantly offering far more reasonable deals when what they want upfront. I never pay full price for fast food anymore.
I found out today that fried rice could literally be fried rice and the little frozen veggies weren’t a key component of fried rice. I feel a little shattered cause the latter is the only form I’ve ever had
The joke is the right side meal is some mid tier chain restaurant and the dish costs like 29$ but anything plated remotely well is so far beyond average Gankerners experiences they think it could cost 200$
They dont serve cubed tomatoes in some orange liquid with ugly piece of fish at michelin star restaurants
I bet the meal on the left costs even less to make- could probably recreate that at home for $15. >They dont serve cubed tomatoes in some orange liquid with ugly piece of fish at michelin star restaurants
kek I didn't even notice that. Who leaves the core of the tomato in like that? Sometimes this burger place does that and it drives me nuts. Those animals.
For smaller tomatoes it is usually fine. The bigger the tomato the tougher the core seems to get though (at least that has been my experience). I prefer to dice my tomatoes, or at the very least cut out most of the core when prepared. Or use cherry tomatos. I guess it depends. In OP's example I think it looks really lazy, like they just cut the tomato into 8ths and moved on.
I payed 40 bucks for wasabi str8 from Japan. Was pretty good but honestly I'm too resistant to horse radish and I guess wasabi too. Have to eat a lot to get the kick.
The wasabi I had in Japan was actually really good, I was surprised how much I liked it compared to the wasabi I had in the states.
Left is just highly processed slop in cooking oil that hasn't been changed in years and right isn't worth even 1/10th the price, but at least won't kill you.

Could be a 10/10 if you two cook together, even if you end up just being an assistant or something.

I don't know what the effect is called, but I hate how horseradish and wasabi even the real kind registers as kind of a "spicy plastic".
At some point I'm gonna snap and buy actual wasabi root and grate it myself to verify that the plastic taste isn't just a quality thing.
Yes, I know most "wasabi" here in the states is literally recolored horseradish. The real wasabi paste I bought came in a tube and was real wasabi, not the recolored stuff.
>Could be a 10/10 if you two cook together, even if you end up just being an assistant or something.
we actually do, but all i do is cut and dice things, clean the meat, etc

I'd unironically take the right. There comes a point in your life when you start to appreciate the quality of things. Especially as if you look closely, you'll realize that's just a layer of prawns on a big ass mess of glummy rice while fish is sitting in a sauce that would have taken a day just to render down.
Subhumans all over the world sure loves eating disgusting slop, don't they? As expected from brown bug eating monkeys.
No wonder there's so many open world crafting survival shills here too.
the game has always been the same, fancypants food is more about being able to afford it, than it is about the food. in fact, the food comes last. it's all about the fung swey and shit and the overall feeling that you get in being in a fancy place. also, doom versus doom eternal. frick ypu and frick your goddamn monkeybars!

Pals in Palworld aren't just party members. You can use them as slaves, weapons and traversal. You can't equip Charizard as a weapon and spew fire in Pokemon.
That implies pokémon puts any care into presentation

Actually a sad story to this;
This is 7 years after a bear was freed from a small circus cage. But he's so inclined to his trauma that he continues doing what he did for the majority of his life before that.
What do you gain from lying?

So sad, reallt makes it unbearable to watch
Why is that so bad? Maybe he's just going in circles because that's what he's comfortable with. Repeating patterns that he knows in a new environment. If you think about it like that, it would be kinda weird if he didn't behave like that.
As long as he doesn't starve himself to death or walks off the muscles on his paw bones, going in circles is just an old habit.

Steak seasoned with salt fresh ground pepper and maybe 1-3 other ingredients served rare is better than 99.999% of all other dishes and it's not very impressive looking either.

You don't pay 200$ for food
YOu pay $200 for eating AT their restaurant, the atmosphere and shiet
Granted some expensive restaurants actually have a good chef who can make a god-tier meal
the $200 is because the ingredients and the place where is served, and no im not talking about vidya, also $12 is incorrect because that thing cost minimum $20
where the frick can you get the left for $12?

Is it worth the price?
I've eaten at a $100/plate place. It was pretty good. Better than a $20/plate restaurant. Depends on how much $100 is to you. I would not do it again, because I am poor, and it was not five times as good.

Frick, anon, that sounds really good. I'm a huge homosexual for seafood though.
i wouldn't recommend the sea cucumber, it had the weirdest texture, but would whole heartedly tell you to try a good smoked eel, it was amazing
Thanks for the heads up, I've never had sea cucumber before. I'm a huge fan of eel, though. Shit's stupid expensive though so it's mostly a guilty pleasure.
Eel kicks ass, never got why some people think it's gross. Unagi is one of my favorite orders at Japanese places.
I love it but I'll admit I have some reservations with it thanks to a bad order of eel giving me the worst food poisoning I've ever had. Took a long time before I could eat it again. Still did eventually anyways because it's so goddamn good.
>thanks to a bad order of eel giving me the worst food poisoning I've ever had
It's poisonous if not cooked right, so that makes sense.
>According to Boston.com, eels have poisonous blood that contains a toxic protein that makes muscles (like the heart) cramp, which is why raw eel should never be eaten under any circumstance. However, when eel is cooked these proteins break down and make the fish safe to eat.
seems like all the best food is. Oh well. Still good shit.

Is veal as good as they say it is? I hear people b***h and whine about veal all the time but I also hear people go on about how it is some of the most tender, delicious meat you'll ever have. Is the hype true? Never had a chance to try it myself.
I'm not a fan of it. It's tender and soft, but I don't like the flavor or texture that much.
Buon gustaio
Why not just have it all at once on the same platter?
the place i went to had three to four bites for each dish and there was three of us, so i guess it was
1.save space on the table
2.let them time to cook it and have it still be warm
3.pace out the meals
I thought this was the case as well, but it ended up just being 3 hours of talking and a small piece of some fancy desert
tasted good but I left so hungry
Sounds like a waste of time on bullshit to me

The majority of the left hand pic is cheap fried rice with a total of 8 shrimp (likely farm raised) and some cut up chicken breast or thigh. You're getting little quality food from that. This isn't even to argue about how disingenuous this pic is as mentioned.

I miss having good Chinese food. Both my favorite places are gone now. One was a more authentic Taiwanese place, the other was the best American style Chinese I've had. There's like 5 or more Chinese places in town still, but they all suck in comparison.
I honestly prefer going to Panda Express over the other crappier places sometimes. The fried rice at Panda Express blows but kung pow chicken and teriyaki chicken are decent.
The chow mein at panda is fricking depressing.
It looks seasoned but it isn't
Yeah the rice and chow mein both suck, I end up tossing most of it half the time.
panda express is nasty

Some people genuinely haven't eaten anywhere that isn't a regional chain or a Sysco filp.
as someone who used to be a waiter at a Michelin Star Restarant, ill tell you your getting ripped off
The chefs still cook with the same 2$ Sunflower oil and spices you can get it in the supermarket, the quality isnt better
the talent behind being a top chef is dressing your food in a manner that looks expensive but isnt.
The stars themselves are scams. There's a reason why the majority of them are in France or bumfrick nowhere, bumfrickistan, population third world. There's fricking market stalls that have stars because the buttholes handing them out travel all over the world on the Michelin Man's dime.
That's kind of the funny part about Michelin stars, most of the criteria are all about fame, "culture", and appearance, not about the food itself.
It's why you get a bunch of highly-rated restaurants with SSS-tier food with zero stars while all the restaurants with stars are serving samey expensive food and have samey waiters and samey chefs with samey plating and some samey restaurant name like "Passion" or "Josephine".
I always thought this shit was extremely moronic
Human sensibilities and capitalism combine to make the worst things in the world
makes sense that a waiter doesnt understand the intricacies that are involved in creating a restaurant menu.
You first need to obtain a good location with rent you can afford to pay, you prob need to partner with something like a hotel to manage to have customers or be really tiny space. You might need to use the same kitchen for breakfast and for dinner in multiple shifts to up the number of paying customers to stay afloat.
You need to make smart decisions about ingredients you can afford to buy and can be made into a high quality meal. It can't be extremely complex to make because in the end it has to be made by a guy who deems it acceptable to live as a food industry worker. It's a whole big process to come up with a new men and every change brings in friction since people need to be brought up to date with the process. Cooks needs to be trained to make every prep step and plating that ends up on the customer.
Many restaurants are chronically understaffed, people are asked to work way longer hours than 40h a week because its for the team, theres no one else. Oh a guy was offered a gig to drive a taxi or clean apartments to make better pay, better start recruiting part timers and immigrants who might even speak the local language.
Alongside that you need to invest into all the equipment necessary, things that cost 5-10k a piece and hope the people you hire dont break them or anything.
>you might need to use the same kitchen to produce different dishes
Black person you do not know what the frick you are talking about. You literally just described menu changes which every restaurant ever does. You didn't even address the real (non) issue around menu changes which is ingredient storage space.
All your other bullshit is basic managerial logistics that has frick all to so with the craft itself. And the icing on top is you are talking this bullshit to a high end waiter because you functionally do not understand the difference between a high end waiter and an applebees waiter. A real waiter has to be intimately familiar with the menu on a level that probably surpasses most everyone working in the kitchen.
>waiter's opinion
You're not the chef though, you're the person who brings out the food, so your opinion is irrelevant.
>The chefs still cook with the same 2$ Sunflower oil and spices you can get it in the supermarket, the quality isnt better
You can give everyone the same ingredients and resources and you'll get 10 different results. Ever watch the Japanese show Iron Chef?
Luxury restaurants are primarily for show and the experience
Anyone can make the food they do, and more of it, at 5% of the price given the right recipie and instructions

Fallout 4 vs New Vegas
These days I wince at the thought of a meal with a double-digit price-tag
getting a single digit price tag for a meal is near impossible nowadays, short of McDonalds, and even they're raising their prices...shit sucks.
Yeah, shit is hard these days. Can't get out of the grocery store without spending $100. Even fast food costs like $10+ a meal now.
What constitutes a 'meal' differs by person
And its pretty easy when you just cook, or even most fast food places now have apps that are constantly offering far more reasonable deals when what they want upfront. I never pay full price for fast food anymore.
so you wince at everything? I too became a chef just so i could get the same food i used to order for cheap

>that much shrimp and other food for only 12 dollars
I would steer clear of something that cheap, you know it's going to make you sick.
anons argue about food all the time
food always tastes bland when you eat alone
no matter what it is
and how much it cost
me buying old games for $5-$10 (even just $1 sometimes) vs $70 new releases
I found out today that fried rice could literally be fried rice and the little frozen veggies weren’t a key component of fried rice. I feel a little shattered cause the latter is the only form I’ve ever had
The joke is the right side meal is some mid tier chain restaurant and the dish costs like 29$ but anything plated remotely well is so far beyond average Gankerners experiences they think it could cost 200$
They dont serve cubed tomatoes in some orange liquid with ugly piece of fish at michelin star restaurants
I bet the meal on the left costs even less to make- could probably recreate that at home for $15.
>They dont serve cubed tomatoes in some orange liquid with ugly piece of fish at michelin star restaurants
kek I didn't even notice that. Who leaves the core of the tomato in like that? Sometimes this burger place does that and it drives me nuts. Those animals.
left would be pretty expensive in eu thanks to all that premium meat
You'd prob have to shill over 20€ for the meal on the left
>Who leaves the core of the tomato in like that?
What's wrong with that? I go to a chain salad place sometimes and all their tomatoes are like that.
For smaller tomatoes it is usually fine. The bigger the tomato the tougher the core seems to get though (at least that has been my experience). I prefer to dice my tomatoes, or at the very least cut out most of the core when prepared. Or use cherry tomatos. I guess it depends. In OP's example I think it looks really lazy, like they just cut the tomato into 8ths and moved on.
The wasabi I had in Japan was actually really good, I was surprised how much I liked it compared to the wasabi I had in the states.

I fricking shudder to imagine going to a restaurant to eat at every single meal. Cooking is such an essential skill.
Imagine americans or anyone working long hours with 2h commute each day because they have to live in surubs to get away from Black folk
If they spent their precious time cooking there would be literally no free time left
Based level: 8/10.
Could be a 10/10 if you two cook together, even if you end up just being an assistant or something.
I don't know what the effect is called, but I hate how horseradish and wasabi even the real kind registers as kind of a "spicy plastic".
At some point I'm gonna snap and buy actual wasabi root and grate it myself to verify that the plastic taste isn't just a quality thing.
Yes, I know most "wasabi" here in the states is literally recolored horseradish. The real wasabi paste I bought came in a tube and was real wasabi, not the recolored stuff.
>Could be a 10/10 if you two cook together, even if you end up just being an assistant or something.
we actually do, but all i do is cut and dice things, clean the meat, etc
>can cook pretty well
>the stuff i want to cook require special equipment that would be a waste to buy for one type of meal
Bro, if you want those meals then do it.The equipment will last decades as long as you're not a moron so why not get it?
>ordering fish
anon.. i..
you know about fish right?
but bro how are you going to train your immune system
Both looks absolute shit but the one on the right should be part of a multi course meal. Still at a multi course youd expect it not to look like slop.
I payed 40 bucks for wasabi str8 from Japan. Was pretty good but honestly I'm too resistant to horse radish and I guess wasabi too. Have to eat a lot to get the kick.
I'd unironically take the right. There comes a point in your life when you start to appreciate the quality of things. Especially as if you look closely, you'll realize that's just a layer of prawns on a big ass mess of glummy rice while fish is sitting in a sauce that would have taken a day just to render down.
pic related, but not to video games. For video games it's the other way around
Subhumans all over the world sure loves eating disgusting slop, don't they? As expected from brown bug eating monkeys.
