I struggled A LOT with Shadow of the Torturer and only made it halfway through Claw before I was just not enjoying myself any more. It was good, but it was so weird and felt like so much work. Those are also two reasons why it's one of my partner's favorite series! Definitely depends on the reader.

I think I'm up to 30-some heat, at I'm fairly sure I've never gone to the next level on Tight Deadline. That and the one that limits your choice of boons are my least favorite, and I will load everything else up before increasing those!

For my own personal journey, 3 was huge, with a heaping side of "Admitting that you were wrong doesn't diminish you." My life became a lot happier, and I was a better friend/family member to others when I realized that being right is not a virtue.

AGREED!! I'm still only on book 7 (just starting the PLOD, hooray, lol), but the show just keeps getting better every season!

Every day I feel like I understand a little more why he put the crayon back in.

The Mucha Museum in Prague was one of my favorite things I did there! I hope you enjoy the exhibit and your day in DC!

Literally the only person I know who pronounces my name any differently than Aaron is my partner who grew up in rural Washington. 😂

YESSSSSSSSSSS. I don't know if you're a Hollow Knight fan, but I'm super pumped for Silksong too! And Slay the Spire 2, though I'm not sure if that one is close to being out of beta yet. At least I should have some good games this year to help me dissociate from our IRL situation here. LOL

That seemed to be the way to go!! Tons of people were posting the in-person GameStop lines that were either super short or nonexistent. I'm SO glad you got one!!

real time updates on when things go live. I was able to get one and help my brother-in-law secure one because of his livestream last night. I will let you know if he flags any restocks!

Booooooooo! I don't know if it would be as helpful since I believe you live in an island paradise and not on the continental US, but there's a guy called Jake Randall who has a YouTube channel that has super helpful tips on how to snag preorders. He also livestreams during releases to give people

Same, same.

I found the dark chocolate orange last year and it was elite.

Absolute banger of a season, they're really hitting their stride. I super hope they get a season 4!

The Hills of Tanchico are boobs. This season is incredible. #wotseriesspoilers.

I’m not currently following too many WoT peeps because I’m only on book 6 and wary of spoilers, but this meme made me laugh so hard that I took note of your account to follow when I’m done with the books. Also obsessed with Team Moraine’s Hat.

I love that as a motivation, because any time I try to get into a battle royale game I'm so late and SO bad at it that it just feels demoralizing.

I also heard it was multiplayer, so I'm definitely waiting to see like, HOW multiplayer it is. I know a lot of the Souls games are sort of meant to be played together, but can be played single player, so we'll see to what extent that's true for Duskbloods. It looked SO cool, though.

SUPER good Nintendo Direct this morning that included Hades II, a new Hyrule Warriors game, and motherfucking SILKSONG. Only way it could have been better for me is if Slay the Spire 2 as well. Also guess I need to play Bloodborne now. #nintendodirect

The answer is a Forsaken, because Lanfear is the main character.

I also remember being really struck by this when I did a rewatch like 7 years ago. It felt uncomfortable, in a way, to watch the conspiracy stuff being played as harmless or amusing, knowing what it's all turned into.

They're rarely done well! When you actually get a crispy, properly cooked sweet potato fry, they're transcendent. But 95% of the time they're just soggy and sad.

Lanfear, always and forever, but I'm also hoping to see Graendal. I'm only partway through book 5, but those two are my favorites so far.

If you ever use rental cars, costcotravel.com has some great rates on them for members!

Spam and instant ramen, which my dad called "Dad's Special Noodles" and made up a song about them so we'd think it was more fun.

TGI Friday's! Literally every time I drive by one I wonder if they still do bottomless apps. 🤣

It’s a very forgiving dough, and boiling them in baking soda works well. I’ve wanted to try food-grade lye, but I also kind don’t want to mess with it. Here’s my first effort (I’ve gotten better at shaping, these are some thicc boys here, but no photos of the recent ones. LOL)

Hooray for Tavo!!! Huge congrats and hugs to you both!!!

Refried white beans with chili fried eggs. We also use the beans as a side with tons of stuff, including salmon and grilled chicken. Step 5 is cut off below "Divide the beans among plates or bowls, then top each with an egg. Season the eggs with salt, then add a few drops of vinegar onto each egg."

My coworker and I are collaborating on creating cards to send children in the hospital. Pretty sure we're crushing it.
