I recommend watching this video from Jennifer Lee: https://youtu.be/U6MhV5Rn63M

It talks about the history of Chinese food in America it’s great. Echoes some of the flavours you’ve experienced with some fun context.

He also hung along with some Palestinian youth in the same trip it seems: https://x.com/ConanOBrien/status/902551821583081472

I like my frame because it faces a set of windows and with all my other tvs … I would have to close the blinds to see the tv in the day time.

However, the software is straight garbage. I didn’t even know about the favourite thing … every time I change source it would spend like a minute or two trying to figure out if it could connect to it for no reason.

I wanted to be a game developer for as long as I could remember. I remember passing out on the carpet floor because I needed a quick nap inbetween coding sessions when I was 15.

I went through uni for comp sci and graduated and got a few offers. All the gaming companies (some really big names) I got offers with paid half as much as the others. I decided my dream wasn’t worth it, it’s weird.

Wait, co-op RPG? Split-Screen Co-op?

I’ll buy it!

I mean, I’ll need to find a friend but I’ll think about that later.

The same songs and sound effects to some stupid reaction video.

Dear God. My friend sent me a video about some Japanese person with some cooking method or something that he recommended I should make try. The video he sent me was annoying as fuck. It was a couple screaming at each other: “OMG IS THAT THE NEW JAPANESE ____ METHOD?” “YES I THINK I’VE HEARD OF THAT” interspersed with the actual narration-free video. Had to stop it after 4-6 seconds.

I asked my friend how he could even stand watching it the video and he said his brain filters it out. I don’t know why it just repulsed me so much.

There’s also many videos with some person just playing another’s person’s video and they just point a finger upward to the actual playing video with some useless look on their face and the nodding.

I think this is the nature of these TikTok videos but I’m not really on TikTok much, I just get them sent to me every once in a while.

I have a friend that’s Hindu and he told me his “friends” put ground beef into the lamb mince as a “prank”. He didn’t easily forgive them either. I don’t think that’s on this level, but I feel as though you should be able to feel out your friends enough to pull a prank. If you can’t really tell, then you shouldn’t mess with them.

That being said, six years is a REALLY long time 🤣

If you’re upset with my feedback, adjust your expectations.

💩 take

I saw a video where people have been freezing their rice … which is something I need to start doing because I just wind up eating way too much rice for meals.

I don’t know, I’ve had friends that hate turned-based games and refuse to play any anime based games and just adored this game so much that I couldn’t get them to talk about anything else for months.

I used to love turn-based RPGs but I kinda fell out of love with them over the years … I’m gonna say around FFX. I actually enjoyed Expedition 33 less than these guys that typically play CoD and Factorio.

That is a very fair statement.

Not yet. Although some people say it’ll be close to the price of an Index although it’s still all speculation.

I’m reminded of an old Simpsons episode: https://youtu.be/UUc9Ojfxq3E?t=106

Bart: “How much do those yoyos cost?”

Milhouse: “I don’t care”

That’s kind of how I feel about this.

What you’re describing makes me kinda miss being a regular at a pub.

Post-COVID and moving to Canada … I find that I stay at home all the time nowadays. The bars I go to here are more establishments and have less of the home feel I used to get in Europe.

I only heard about it through a YouTube recommendation. Very cool features. I may give it a whirl next.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Zorin OS.

Everyone I’ve recommended CO to and took me up on it – loved it. But I have other friends that have heard me talk about the game and I just “know” it’s not for them and if they play, they’ll be ranting about the mechanisms and other things.

For me, it made me wish I was French :P I love the aesthetic, story, and characters for sure. It’s different than FF to me because it seemed like FF got embarrassed by its turn-based gameplay over time and it feels like CO embraced it fully.

Also, I heard the fanbase can be rather toxic as well. Once again, that sometimes happens with more popular games too. I was watching a few streamers that said they’d want to put it as their GOTY but some fans were just doing a lot of bullying. After playing the game, I understand their passion for it … but it can sour other people’s expectations and experiences for sure.

Americans saw this and said, “this is fine”

Update: I’m using the term “Americans” as the majority of American voters in 2024.
