      - Right, you could be in the 70-80%. Most people are okay subbing goat milk -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 20, 11:01
- honestly, none of them taste like milk (almond, soy, coconut). none of them really have the same consistency either. - Truman Mar 20, 10:44 1
  - Cashew is good for adding creaminess to foods. We basically change it up. - Andie Mar 20, 10:45

- Did you watch any of the other 3 Toy Story trailers? nm - The Wardog Mar 20, 10:35 3
  - probably. that was so long ago though, can a person really be expected to remember things like years ago!?! -- nm - Truman Mar 20, 10:37 2
    - Around here? YES!!! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 20, 10:39 1
      - I'm pretty sure I have like a permanent exception to such a rule, if I could remember it. -- nm - Truman Mar 20, 10:42

on a scale of 1-100, how influential is Gail Simone in the comics world? -- nm - prayformojo Mar 20, 10:19 19

  - interesting. thx. -- nm - prayformojo Mar 20, 12:12
  - I honestly can't say enough nice things about Gail. She's good people. -- nm - Remlik Mar 20, 10:37
- Very. Though Karen Berger is probably a bigger influencer. -- nm - TWuG Mar 20, 10:25 9
  - Berger has 9k followers on Twitter and 6.5k on Instagram. Simone has 138k on Twitter alone. -- nm - David Mar 20, 10:49 4
    - you're talking social media. we're talking behind the scenes in the actual business. -- nm - Remlik Mar 20, 10:52 3
      - You're not an influencer without a social media following. -- nm - David Mar 20, 10:54 1
        
        interesting take. -- nm* - Remlik Mar 20, 10:59
      - Simone's fans for the most part, don't show up to purchase. I wish they did. -- nm - Remlik Mar 20, 10:52
  - Is Karen Berger still relevant? -- nm - Mop Mar 20, 10:27 3
    - oh my god yes. -- nm - Remlik Mar 20, 10:34 2
      - Isn't she at Dark Horse now? -- nm - Mop Mar 20, 10:34 1

- one of, it not arguably the biggest woman in it. -- nm - Beaker Mar 20, 10:21 2

Krusty, you should come up to Watkins for Woodstock - SyrDragon Mar 20, 10:13 7
- I wish I could go but life is crazy right now -- nm - Krusty Mar 20, 10:41
- Hadn't realized they'd announced the line-up. Let's of well known names, but no real marquee acts... yet? -- (link) - Mop Mar 20, 10:22 5
  - Jay Z is a marquee act if there's one in hip hop. -- nm - Krusty Mar 20, 10:40 4
    - And the Killers are great, too. But I'm thinking... Pearl Jam, Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney? -- nm - Mop Mar 20, 10:41 3
      - Does Santana and the Dead and Company count? -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 20, 11:00
      - so you want an old folks festival? -- nm - decline Mar 20, 10:54
      - In hip hop he's that and if he brings Beyonce that'll be massive. And the groups like The Stones aren't big sellers to anyone under 40. - Krusty Mar 20, 10:48
Cuphead is coming to Switch. -- (link) - Shaun Mar 20, 10:10 1

Google Stadia: Is Xbox doomed? -- (link) - Shaun Mar 20, 09:57 [youtube] 5
- This isn't an Xbox crisis. It's a console crisis. Even the Switch, where portability is a hell of a selling point, is in trouble. - Mop Mar 20, 10:19 2
  - IMO, Sony's exclusivity has painted them into a corner time and again -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 20, 11:04
  - I think it'll be one more generation of game consoles, then they'll all convert to the cloud. - Inigo Mar 20, 10:34
- I still think that one that is conceptually more at risk is the Switch. - Marlowe Mar 20, 10:17
- Xbox demonstrated Forza on Project xCloud last week, with beta this year. Different approaches, but not a death knell for anyone. -- (link) - Max Mar 20, 10:01
