(Oh. I done fucked up then. I half-played both of them.)

In other news, I was thinking on the phrase "X is my bread and butter."

I thought it was:
"This task is as simple to me as making buttered bread."

I told this to my roomate who responded with his interpretation:
"This task is the thing I do to earn my bread and butter."

We argued about that for ten minutes. Never got that heated, but never resolved it either.

Both are related, neither is dead-on. A task being your bread and butter means it makes up the majority of what you do, like bread and butter might make up the majority of what one eats (not in modern times, usually, but you understand). It's like the term 'workhorse', except it refers to tasks, rather than tools.

I (not native speaker, mind you) think the roomate is correct. It's kind of like how the main body of a article is called "bread text" over here because of how journalists used to get paid by word written and thus the text was their metaphorical bread.

@scriver:Never heard of that one.
I agree with Blargityblarg here.

Bread & Butter = staple.

Implies familiarity, dependence.

In cold weather this is actually really difficult :(


Edit: I realise that 'simple' isn't the opposite of 'difficult' but shhhh let me have my bread rage

I haven't actually played the second one, but from what I've seen, it's rife with artificial difficulty. While in the first one if you avoid spoilers you can get the satisfaction of exploration and sequence breaking (not really, since there's no such thing as sequence in Dark Souls and you'll get your ass kicked anyways, but hey, OP gear is OP gear)

I prefer "meat and potatoes", which might be more recent?  Since meat wasn't such a common thing to eat until ranching and battery farms really took off.

Plus potatoes being a New World food before they became Irish.

Screw the Irish, our potatoes are still better.


Also, literally stealing a road could only happen in Russia.

Well, today in speech class we had to write topics for an impromptu speech, put them in a hat, and draw names and topics. I managed to draw the topic I wrote.

That's actually weirdly impressive. Or at least depressing regarding the rest of the country. How you not notice someone hauling off chunks of road for around a year is something I have trouble understanding. There's inattentive, and then there's... that.
