    They made the right call. Macaroni and cheese is definitely that good.

    Looks like Rocket League. If so then this would be a highly offensive thing to say. Most of the players in casual are about 10 years old 😂

      The few times I played rocket league, I played casual, and got my ass handed to me.

      Maybe theres a casual mode for casual players. I’m looking forward to losing to a 3 year old. Apperently those 10 year olds are way outta my skill range!

      Oooooh, maybe we can find a player who’s just learning their colors! Maybe thats more my speed.

        You just gotta stick to it, the rocket league progress curve is incredibly steep at the beginning, but if you just brute force through it for a bit you’ll reach the first plateau where you actually manage to touch the ball once in a while. Getting over that plateau is a different story and the progress curve is much slower after that.

        Also go and do the training sets, start with the easiest ones until you nail them then move on to the next one, etc.

        RL is pretty much the only game I still play regularly because I’ve been playing it for a long time and I can just do one game if I don’t have much time, most other games require too much of my very limited free time.

          Same. I started with a couple of friends around when it became F2P. They live in another city, so that plus voice chat is just how we catch up and chill, usually with a few drinks and with some dumb jokes here and there. We’re familiar with the controls and systems and everything, so doing anything else has the barrier to entry of learning a whole new thing. R6 Siege looks cool but complicated. I don’t get Destiny 2. FC24 is pretty good but I’m not sure it has the same staying power for us as RL.

      I can’t understand how non-Americans have gone their entire lives without witnessing macaroni and cheese that exists outside of Kraft.

          Need more context: Are you also 15? If so then this might be acceptable anywhere.

          But… how’d you think the got made? Had you never had a decent one at a restaurant?

        There is a place nearby where you can buy 5 boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese for $5. Used to be a box for $.50-75.

        When your next stubbed toe could require you to sell an organ, cheap Kraft seems perfect.

                If it’s the most popular one then it makes sense others would of course associate you with that one.

                  The most popular boxed mac n cheese, again boxed mac n cheese is not the only kind to exist.

                  That would be like associating all Ramen with ‘Top Ramen’. Does that put in perspective how wrong* what you’re suggesting is?

                  *Edit: I’m trying to be nicer.

      Make yourself some home made Mac and Cheese someday. Then make sure to burn the recipe so you can save yourself from that daily temptation.

      Edit to add, whatever you do. Don’t add chili. Real ChiliMac is a level 5 paranormal entity that will haunt you the rest of your life.

      It’s like Oreos. I think it’s things that are cultural. You probably can’t get into it once your taste has already been shaped. But if you grew up with it, it’s different. We probably all have such things at home. Although typically not from the horrifying US big food conglomerates, which maybe makes them a bit less atrocious.

    That’s a soft take…

    *clears throat*

    macaroni and cheese utterly disgusting, nothing about it is appetising, the consistency of it is remarkably similar to the consistency of sewage, it smells like concentrated foot sweat and I dont know how it takes an amazing tasting product like cheese and turns it into the this horrifically vile tasting slop, but that right there is proof of Satan’s existence.

    We do add various cheeses to our pasta and it tastes good. It’s usually just a quick and easy meal but it’s nothing special.

    Not sure how mac and cheese (not the box stuff) could be much different. Although, I’ve never had a meal that would be specifically called mac and cheese.
