A WEST COAST-FAST FOOD HOT SPOT FOR THE AGES -- PURE AMERICAN STYLE.

PIC INFO: Spotlight on a Pioneer Chicken eatery, Los Angeles, California, c. 1974. 📸: Richard Longstreth, from the book "Road Trip" (Universe Publishing, 2015).

PIONEER OVERVIEW: "...By 1987, Pioneer was going bankrupt, and in 1993, the parent company for Popeyes, a national fried chicken chain that by all accounts was nothing like Pioneer, purchased the ailing company, converting most of the remaining Pioneers into Popeyes. The loss was mourned a bit by the press and then life went on, but part of the city’s fast-food identity was lost. In a common, ambient way, Pioneer Chicken was central to the Los Angeles experience, the myth history of the town. It was everywhere, like orange street lights or jacaranda trees, a fixture of the landscape. And then, suddenly, it wasn’t…"

hey! I always wanted to give Dragon Age (Inquisition) a try since so many people love it. How do you like the game? Also do ypu use any mods for gameplay? :-) thank you!

okay SO i know i complained a lot abt the character creation/models on here but i will say this! the scenery and world building in this game is GORG they still hold up pretty well in 2024! As for combat, I dont find it hard to get, im playing as a Knight enchanter atm its nice mix between a warrior and mage- i can get up close w a magic sword or hit from far away but i am a cheater w mods so take that as u will! You don't need to play the previous games to understand DAI but I know I needed to watch some videos on the lore bc i never bothered reading the books in game 😬 i watched this one (1) n got the gist.

Now for mods, I had a hard time loading the game using both frosty mod manager and the DAIMOD manager but turns out the fix was super easy i was just stupid, you have to the delete the ModData folder in ur install location b4 using frosty- I use this guide for modding the game now, and I have no issues- or well, none i can't fix ;)

MODS/GAMEPLAY recs I have are this

Use this quest order for the game! (i was TOILING away in the damn hinterlands man :( ignore shards/astrarium quests, and really exhaust those dialogue options with ur advisors n companions- i totally forgot to do that before making it to skyhold so some dialogue feel off now)

Mods I use for my Human! fem inquisitor: Katherine Face & Eyebrow Textures, Anto Hairstyles for DAI, TW3 Outfits for Dai, Flemmeth Armor for Human Female, Twisted Ponytails, Enhanced Character Creation (installed in DAIMOD btw)

Cheats/Fixes: More Banter, Kill all Hostiles Cheat, No Perk Requirements

Super Mario Bros. 3 Happened, And Wasn't Just A Stage Play

So many people believe that the events of Super Mario Bros. 3 never happened and it is all just a stage play, I am going to argue why this is not the case.

First off the Airship from SMB3 exists in another game, aka Super Mario Bros. 4 Super Mario World. Confirmed in the manual on page 20, the Sunken Ship is the same Airship from SMB3. "This strange looking sunken ship. Haven't you seen it somewhere before? That's right, in Super Mario Bros. 3..."

Secondarily in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze the level Frosty Fruits contains a SMB3 Koopa Tank. This also means that Bowser or at least the Koopas once invaded the Kong Archipelago.

So these 2 things should be enough evidence that SMB3 is indeed a canon game. However, for argument's sake let's say SMB3 is a stage play. There is nothing saying that the stage play can't be based on actual events that happened in the Mario canon. Some more reasons SMB3 is canon is objects and characters that were introduced in it, still exist in the game canon and show up later. This includes Dry Bones, Boom Boom, Boss Bass, Fire Bros, the Clown Car, the Koopalings, and the Airship. This is actually backed up on page 35 of the SMB3 Manual where it says. "A host of new characters have joined Bowser and his turtle tribe. With this information on these new enemies, you'll be well prepared."

Speaking of manuals, in the SMB4SMW manual in story section on page 2 it says "after saving the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser and the rest of the Koopas in Super Mario 3, Mario and Luigi needed to recuperate from their adventures. Together they agreed the best place to vacation was a magical place called Dinosaur Land.." This places the events of SMB4SMW right after SMB3.

Other references that confirm SMB3 events did happen. Super Mario Sunshine Bowser's Memories The Grasslands Desert Land Figure-8 Circuit DS Shroom Ridge DS Desert Hills Piranha Plant Pipeline
