Going to attempt an updated/better explanation of the Classic Fredo Concept: The Gunstar Heroes Zone™.

A game belongs in The Gunstar Heroes Zone™ when it gains an outsize fandom and/or reputation relative to the impact the game had when it originally game out.

Turning to Mrs F all like "I have all of these in my roadcraft game!!"

Another fun example of being roadcraft-pilled today when we missed a highway exit because they were repaving the road and the whole time I'm like "awesome, a paver! Look, the steamroller is behind it! Is... is that a crane??? 😳"

I really think that inner netting is the future, I'm going to invest heavily

You know, people on TV shows sure do get a whole lot of phone calls relative to how often they happen in real life

Oh yes, I've done this before and it's super good! I'll probably make a pot myself in the relatively near future

I think the most common Texas style chili you see these days includes no beans but does include tomatoes. When I want the super authentic version, I use this recipe: Original Texas Chili Con Carne Recipe share.google/khSUULLH9DOc...

Original Texas Chili Con Carne Recipe

A blend of chiles and spices provide this classic Texas chili con carne with maximum depth of flavor. Searing only half the beef gives lends browned beef flavor but preserves tenderness.

Chili is just one of those things where there are a lot of permutations - I enjoy it all sorts of different ways but I've always found it very interesting how a lot of Texas folks are militant about no beans but NOT no tomatoes

You know, technically the true "real deal" stuff also doesn't have tomatoes

Yeah it really did not get a lot of attention! I remember seeing one or two pieces at the time (maybe on kotaku?) about how it was very interesting but it really did not get much coverage

I actually got pretty into this when the game was new and thought it was quite a novel multi-player experience

It's a shame this game never really blew up so I think a lot of folks just never really experienced it

I have really had to tone it down as I get older (and four Mrs Foster sake since she can't really handle spice) but I was all about this life for years, phal curry, Indian hot, no mercy, etc
