@Tyranexx You really got it on the head there. It’s totally a Creepypasta type dream.
As a middle school students, we’d believe all kinds of crazy things about games. So the premise of there being a code that opens you up some danger or reveals forbidden knowledge is pretty intriguing.
But to respond to your earlier comment about bed bugs, I think it’s good you check. I can’t speak about cleanliness of a Motel 6 or the Days Inn, but I’d bet they don’t change the bedsheets or check the room for pests 😆.
The worst part about bed bugs is they attack you when you are most vulnerable and comfortable. I remember just giving up on the bed for a while and just putting a clean pillow on my hardwood floor to sleep.
@NotTelevision Ah yes, middle schooler superstition. I'm not sure if it's better or worse with wider internet access these days. XD One of the most prevalent rumors in my Pokemon days was that pressing A when capturing a Pokemon would increase your chances of catching it on that try. I tried this a few times and didn't notice any difference. It was definitely bogus lol.
On the bed bugs: they aren't something I've thankfully ever dealt with, but I know they're easily picked up and can be hard to get rid of. Most hotels that I've found with reports have supposedly cleared the things out when they're reported, but that depends on how the hotel is maintained to begin with. I don't trust really low-budget chains lol.
@NotTelevision It is nintendo. Their online subscriptionis lacking and(in their eyes) be boosted by making acces to the shop restricted by online subscription. But the Eshopwould be rebooted with more benefits.
Since a few of us discussed Aldi’s the other day, I thought I’d share my overall impression after my first experience.
I’m not a fan. The lack of variety and general price parity with other local stores doesn’t really scream value to me. I had to grab some ingredients for my (long overdue) chili batch, and I thought to try out Aldi’s since I was nearer to it. All I could get was; bag of 5 red onions (instead of a single vidalia onion), bag of 12 vine tomatoes (instead of two steak tomatoes), bag of 10 questionable jalapeños (instead of picking 3 out), and 2.5 lbs beef. I still had to visit BiLo for cilantro, parsley, habanero, serrano, poblano, beans, and powder.
I basically paid the same and had less choice and service. No wonder it’s a European thing 😜. It’d probably be okay if I weren’t picky about ingredients for cooking recipes.
@HobbitGamer yeah that was my impression as well. Thought it was just my location because it's so small. Then again, I can't see europeans shopping for food like that..... ESPECIALLY not the French which is where Aldi is based iirc. Maybe they just phone it in half way in the states. Americans have no taste and would eat dog food of it was cheap enough, right? : P
Then again my normal store has a lot of produce only in bags, too. Drives me crazy. I need 6 lbs Yukon potatoes. My options are to buy 10lbs (2 bags) and throw 4lbs out, or buy 1lb "baking potatoes" and mix them in with the yukon hoping they cook at the same time. Same with celery. I need 2 stalks. So every week I have to buy a whole bag and throw 3/4 of it out. But if they were to sell individually they'd price it so we'd only get 20% off the price to get 80% less product and then declare it "sustainable".
I'll always remember Aldi as the store that docked employees pay in France during one of the terror attacks when everyone was on lockdown and therefore not working. Ol Marie would be proud!
They had to backpeddle that a week later when the whole planet was mocking them.
If Nintendo started charging for the Eshop(requiring you to have an Switch online subscription to access it), how many would stop using it(the Eshop)?
Your unnecessary anxious will keep you into wrong assumptions.
It will not happen so we can buy eshop games without being tied by Online Service. Only some titles tied by NSO due to Online play feature from those games.
@HobbitGamer yea im not crazy about it. Especially when im making some of my more authentic dishes, they never have what i need. Its ok for bulk buying and general foods, but like you said, No cilantro or other similar herbs, greens, no good meats that i like, and the whole bagging and cart thing bothers me. My wife always wants to go there though, so im usually forced.
@Anti-Matter Dood, that’s my fav pic you’ve posted this far. Wish the film was more enjoyable for ya.
@NEStalgia I’ve got the same problem with celery. I try to minimize anything I’d need it for just due to that. I could grow it, but then I’d still have too much. I’ve bought one of those kid size celery and carrot snack packs for a dollar before just to avoid the waste.
@NintendoByNature Yeah, I told a friend about my experience, and she loves the place. It’s just not for me. But I could see the smaller footprint being a plus if they actually put them in neighborhoods that are essentially food deserts, instead of folks being relegated to convenience store prices.

@NintendoByNature Why does she like it so much if they don't actually have what you guys need?
@HobbitGamer yeah, the problem is the majority of dishes start with a mirepoix, so it's impossible to get away from celery. They know that. That's how they have us cornered....
@NEStalgia she's not the cook in the family, so it doesn't effect her like it does me 😋. She usually makes simple meals when she does cook and usually the one trying new things or ethnic foods. Aldi just isn't the place my culinary arts 😂 @HobbitGamer I get why some people like it. The smaller footprint probabaly being the main thing. But eh, I'd rather go to a place across the street that has everything I could imagine no matter what type of dish I'm making.
