I went to In-N-Out and ordered a cheeseburger. The cashier, a calm young woman named Destiny, asked me a question I did not expect.
"You want that Animal Style?"
I paused.
I did not know what this meant. But a samurai does not admit he does not know. So I answered with weight.
"...Animal Style."
"Cool. So that's mustard-grilled, extra spread, grilled onions, pickles. Yeah?"
I understood now. This was a sacred permission. For one meal, I was being told to put down my manners at the door. To eat the way a beast eats, without shame. I had waited my whole life for someone to give me this order.
"Yes," I said. "I will become the animal."
Destiny did not blink. "...Okay. You want your fries Animal Style too?"
I stopped. Even the potatoes?
"The potatoes also become animals?"
"I mean, they get cheese and sauce and grilled onions, so..."
"Then yes. Let the potatoes abandon their restraint as well."
"...Got it." She was the calmest woman I have ever met. "3x3, 4x4, or just the one?"
I did not know these numbers, but I knew a challenge when I heard one. "How many must I face?"
"It's, like, how many patties you want."
"How many is the most honorable?"
"...Four is a lot."
"Then four. A warrior does not ask for fewer."
She wrote it down without argument. A 4x4, Animal Style, with animal fries. She warned me once, kindly. "That's gonna be huge." I told her I was counting on it.
It arrived. It was a tower. Cheese and sauce ran down my hands the moment I lifted it. There was no clean way to eat it. There was no dignified way. That was the entire point.
I ate it like a beast. Both hands, no honor, grilled onion on my chin, and I have to be honest with you, it was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth.
For thirty years I have kept my manners at every table in the world.
They handed me a burger and told me to be an animal, and I have never felt so free.
So tell me, America.
The whole country knows the secret menu. What else are you hiding in plain sight?
And "Animal Style." Was I eating the animal, or finally becoming one?
This indie dev is making a Beyblade-inspired roguelite where you build & battle spinning tops across a vibrant Y2K city
- Collect 60+ parts & find insane combos
- Bet your lunch money on your blade
- Save the city from a rich loser
It's called Slayblade. Would you play this?
@Avalanchea_ Imo, They just need to implement IASA (Interruptible As Soon As) to keep the Animation that they put hard work into, but allowing players to just do other action instead of the clunkiness we got here
League is absolutely fantastic, probably one of my most enjoyable times in PoE ever so far!
Spiritwalker has been surprisingly enjoyable to play and trying bosses as minions is hilarious!
My only initial complaint is how volatile and toxic the community can be. Ziz brings to my attention that Silverfist has a base of 25% crit etc I shout him out in my first post about it on YT. I make a tweet later and it ends up on reddit and my 2nd video on the topic is used as proof that I have now ignored giving credit and apparently I'm now also stealing builds and all theory crafting before league launch was made by my friend and not me.
Like am I supposed to give people credit for all foreseeable future in every post and vid to avoid this degenerate insanity?
Ingrid combos are not needed, everybody is overcomplicating this Ingrid character. Just spam fireball and anti air the jumps, if they get too close just back dash and throw more fireballs. Use the plus frames to teleport in sometimes, spam OD counter if you're knocked down.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
I've been working on FilterBlade since 11 years.
It's time for a change.
I quit my job as a Cloud Architect.
I'm officially going full-time on my projects.
THANK YOU all for being a part of this journey.
What does it mean for FilterBlade/my Filter?

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN: FILTER NOTES.
There's a *LOT* of weird and unknown items in this list.
Also... THAT'S A LOT OF ITEMS.
I'll be implementing these into the filter over the next days. Gonna be wild.
Now I'm happy we don't get swords this league.
Why am I seeing people post about paid builds for build import in PoE 2?
Any creator gating their content behind a pay wall will instantly be ignored or shamed by the entire community. It just won't happen or I'm missing something?
I'll forever have my content free either way
