As in, a kind of sweet for Dia De Los Muertos? I knew about that holiday beforehand, but I've been most exposed to the related culture by seeing Disney-Pixar's Coco.

@HobbitGamer I think Joey is away and Sanya is home

@Octane Makes sense. That's what I had figured, otherwise he'd be WAAAAAY more broken up. Hard not to miss mischievous black kitties.

@Link-Hero We just opened our store. We have a whopping 4 aisles of christmas stuff.

In September

@AlexSora89 it's a kind of bread made for the holiday. It's usually a sweet bread (although savory versions are also made in some places), and it's meant to look like a little pile of bones.

The traditional kind I'm used to is moderately sweet, flavored with orange zest, and often covered in a decorative layer of sugar. And it's really good.

You can actually see it in that movie in basically every ofrenda.

You had me at 'little pile of bones'

If ya'll need a translation, it's literally "bread of the dead". It just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Fred's Deadbread. Fixed. Now it's a household name. You're welcome.

@Yosheel
I have to rewatch that one then. My only lucid memory of it was me bawling my eyes out.
Seriously, how come Dia De Los Muertos isn't more widespread is beyond me. It's an awesome holiday.

It was already very popular outside of Mexico, but I certainly expect it to gather more interest in a post-Coco world.

Wouldn’t surprise me if at least a few foreigners decide to set up an offering for their deceased. That’d be nice.

@Yosheel
I'll say it: it's more kickass than Halloween.
There, I said it. Lynch me, people!

I like both

Now I just want to watch Day of the Dead. And not that awful remake, either.

lol yup...I'm just bored and need my kitty to cuddle with. xD

Talking about cats, I haven't seen Gatingo in a while. I can only hope he's ok living somwhere else (probably not)... But now only his brother Gatongo remains.

On the bright side, he has become cuddlier and lets me pet him more often.

All the checks come up as a bad alternator. }%^#£~....poo.
Replacement is around $150 with a $40 core.

Woo, the replacement camera I ordered for my 2DS came relatively fast. These shipments from Asian countries usually take several months!

I was able to install it and it's working perfectly. Now I can transfer my games back and return my Link 2DS to it's box.

Niiice. Is that the 2DS or XL?

Regular 2DSs.

Edit: uh nice, the preinstalled Ocarina of Time from the Link 2DS moved to the blue 2DS. I was under the impression that those preinstalled titles stayed in their original consoles.

Oh that's awesome, haha! That's something that would excite me, anyway.
