Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@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.

I lost interest in Violet after I'd gotten Walking Wake and Iron Leaves.

My internet is being a pain, see y'all next week (maybe before then idk. I'm hangry)

Reminder, today on Thursday 20 April 2023 there will be hybrid solar eclipse on Eastern Indonesia zone and Western part of Australia.
I will check the sun out there to see we will got at least partial solar eclipse at my place Western Indonesia part.

My man literally said he's gonna eat until the next week, what a pog move

@ComfyAko yes, I have locked myself in a room with a mini fridge.

@Owl1 Well then, all the good luck to you o7

@ComfyAko I have no clue what we are talking about, so yes.

@Owl1 many people do not understand me, but few agree with me so hastily

Everyone take example

Also, fluffy dreams everyone!

I'm sending this to my brother right now
And no, this is my only message for today, see y'all tomrrow

I had another post written, but the site error monster swallowed it.

@Eagly I did catch the new XC3 Wave 4 trailer!...Very late as last night was one of the rare times I had to work in the evening somewhat. On one hand I'm very happy it's releasing earlier than I figured - I was betting on summer or early autumn. I REALLY wanna see how it all ties together. That said...I can't get this day one. There's absolutely no way I'd finish before Tears of the Kingdom drops. Plus, if there will be a physical release a la Torna, I might be better off waiting a bit anyway.

@Sunsy I do like your Yoshi movie idea even if I'm unsure it'll happen. That said, Hollywood has done crazier things lol. I loved that Luma, heck I liked the whole prison scene...though I do wish the penguins had more dialogue and character development.

Other than watching the Mario movie again, I want to see a Japanese film my local theater is surprisingly running. Named Suzume. The premise seems pretty interesting!

I may be bad at talking to people, but I am a pro at coming up with responses 3 hours after I need to.
