Inflation is real, yet McDonald’s remains a cheap and convenient fast food option. Interesting

@Eagly I will make sure to remember to ask you after I finish it, later I will try guess and ask you if I got it right!

@blindsquarel Yeah it’s good for what it is, and it fills me up, however I don’t think me modifying it by putting different sauce or seasonings tells me that I 100% enjoy it by itself lmao. 3 days? I will make sure to be exstra careful!

@Eagly alright! You have to Tell me how much you enjoyed it afterwards!

Yeah, I use to be on GameSpy Arcade a lot during the evenings when I had my very old PC. I would play MotoGP, Star Wars Battlefront, Medal of Honor online using the service. I think Counter-Strike and Half-Life 2 Deathmatch were the only games I didn't use the service for, it was Steam. The old Steam that was green and Valve games only... it's crazy to see it evolve into the monster it became.

That's usually when I try to buy any new Star Wars game. Last time I bought during the May 4th sale was Star Wars Episode 1: Racer. Cool, looking forward to it.

Probably going to wait to see the Super Mario movie again as my friend and I have some upcoming movie plans to see Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and an upcoming showing of Trolls World Tour as a local theater is doing family favorites each month, and May's is Trolls World Tour.

Between last year's Trolls World Tour showings, December's Grinch showing, it feels good knowing some theaters do play older movies, even if it's for a special event.

is this code?

@Eagly okay (<legit)... Hmm, is this a hint for an essay on the hidden detail of the figures? (<satire)

This is a bop.

I have no way to prove it but I’m convinced my brother-in law is cheating at card games.

We've been lied to, it turns out the lyrics "Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang/Walla walla, bing bang" in the Witch Doctor song actually means "Play Dr. Mario on Game Boy or NES".

@blindsquarel Lmao! How come?

@Snatcher
He deals out the hands and every time he is in danger of losing he gets an amazing hand. Meanwhile everybody else gets 2 decent cards and that is it. ( the game is House of Dragoness, if you are curious.)

I’m staring at the channel icon for “Kid Icarus: Uprising”, feeling wistful all the while.

@blindsquarel ah yes, I was going to ask about how Okami helped with your assignment! So, what was it about? I'm pretty good with folk tales and monsterology. Okami is actually the story of Yamata no Orochi, and the biggest change in Okami is that Susano'o (no Mikoto) doesn't seem to be related to Ammy, even though in Japanese mythology they were brother and sister. The game even nods to that.

Spoiler, don't read if you haven't played the whole game
the second chapter tells the story of Ninetales, but you can trace it to a real folk legend of Tamamo no Mae, a fox spirit that threw China, India and Japan into chaos in medieval age

now for the pie:

put 250g butter (chop it into slices)
80 g sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
320g flour
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons baking powder

into a mixer. Mix. When the dough starts resisting, stop the mixer and mix with hands/spoon/whatever. Once it's ok, put it in the fridge.

grate 2 kg of apples (peel the skin first, also weigh before grating), put it in a big pot with 40g sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Cook while constantly stirring until they dissolve into a paste (it shouldn't take long).

Take the dough out of the fridge, butter the baking mold. Split the dough in 2. Put the first half of dough into the mold. (just flatten the pieces in hand and stick them, maybe press them a bit so they are thinner.) Now preheat the oven to 180Celsius and put the mold in for about 13,14 minutes. Take it out. Put the apple paste into the mold (watch out it's still hot), even the surface and add the remaining half of the dough. (same, flatten the parts in your hands and put them on top of the paste). Put the complete masterpiece into the oven for 1h in 180Celsius.

@ComfyAko
It was just general note taking. I was also able to get most of the questions right on a quiz without looking at the notes first. ( probably not the smartest thing to do the quiz before I do the actual assignments, but it worked.). I got to the beginning of the third chapter in the game, if you are wondering.

Also thanks for the pie recipe.

@Eagly
Mio's family elaboration.
Sena being the kid of Morag and Brighid.
Some kind of look at the cast of 3 after 3.
Eyepatches.
What a thing to wake up to in the morning.

@Snatcher Thanks, but I still hold that despite the fact yours has no cat ears it's better.
Hopefully, 3's DLC keeps up the series tradition of DLC and added content having jazz and other awesome music, seriously go listen to Time to Fight (Bionis Shoulder.)

@blindsquarel Nice, great to see people still enjoy this gem of a game

I wish people would quit asking me why companies make bad decisions, like why Mother 3 still hasn't got a North America release. I'm neither their employee nor a psychic, maybe you could ask them directly instead of a disabled unemployed nobody like me?

i decided to take it off, i may add something here

haha its all good

A while back I joked about considering getting a career in voice acting.

I see a ton of people talking about how good the pull rates are for Scarlet and Violet, but they’ve been terrible for me. Out of 13 packs I got 2 EX cards and one trainer gallery. Probably just bad luck, since my brother has had amazing pulls, but it is really annoying.
