like, you agree that chains are consistent. a chain restaurant in one state tastes the same as the same franchise elsewhere. so it's fair for me to generalize "[the chains ive eaten at] suck [IN MY OPINION!!!!!!]" to the chains as a whole instead of the specific restaurant, which isnt really anecdotal

and i never made overreaching claims about local places

so

like

what the fuck are you smoking

lopen my statement was literally "one is good because theyre usually good the other is bad because theyre usually bad". I meant what I said. It's not hard.

And with absolutely no insight and backing it up with nothing more than anecdotal evidence, your statements come across as blind bias. I am sorry, I never meant to offend you or misrepresent your statements but that's how they come across to me.

yes. it's an opinion. by definition anecdotal.

I don't understand

Chains suck because they suck. They are consistent. Consistently mediocre.

Some local places are good because they are good. They are inconsistent. Some are good. Some aren't.

This isn't complicated.

No it's not, you have your opinion and I have mine. I don't see why you are getting so upset over the fact that I don't find chains to be inferior to local places on average. Considering I work for Gordon Food Service as a delivery driver, I can assure you there are close to no differences between the ingredients, kitchens, and menus between chains and local places. Both tend to serve good food and are perfectly acceptable places to eat. Calm down.

I'm annoyed because you keep throwing away my argument as bias and assuming I'm giving some deep commentary to the cooking processes, the death of small towns, the basic human need to eat and of capitalism.

I'm not. Stop misrepresenting my statements for your own conclusions.

Yes, but I am unsure how the price they pay factors in to the quality of the food being cooked.

Even if the quality is equal, the company who has lower costs is likely to offer lower prices.

"Quality" isn't the right measurement to think of here. "Value" is. A 9/10 burger for $5 is a better value than a 10/10 burger for $10.

Yea, ok, I still don't understand what that has to do with my point. I agree with you, but my point was directed at people that bash chains and praise local spots just because they are chains and local spots.

Look at it this way.

Almost all chains suck in any given genre.

Local places have the chance to be good.

Ok, and what makes you think that? Both get the same ingredients from the same supplier, both have their menus planned out by a chief that is likely passionate about food.

Almost every chain I've been to in any given genre has sucked.

Some local places are good.

actually I don't know of a shitty local place near me, but then again, I live in civilization

Sounds exactly like the bias I was talking about, chains suck because they are chains and local places are good because they are local. In my experience it's pretty much chains have a pretty good consistency of being good to great, where as local places have a chance to be amazing but generally fall between ok and great. Granted I am not some kind of food snob and I judge every meal at the time of consumption.

The Starfield tease was fine, but announcing TES6 with no details and without even giving us the subtitle is pretty weak

It's hard to imagine the final name of the game being "The Elder Scrolls VI" and maybe they're keeping the subtitle under wraps for now to avoid hinting out what kind of universe the game will take place in.

thanks for that luster
