randomly thinking about how impressive the environmental visuals of xenoblade were, particularly considering the console it was on

we got this fancy soda called "ale81" and it's pretty good

the cherry flavor version, however, is not pretty good and is in fact the closest thing we've tasted to cough medicine that was not just cough medicine

@bj That usually takes a long time. When your identities have been tangled up for years, untangling them takes a lot of time and effort.
-F

@bj I'm getting some real strong plural impressions from Blit and Leo (and Syl); is that intentional?

Or maybe I'm reading too far into it.

@Nine is the game called "metal wolf chaos xd" or is that an emoticon
-F

@glitternoodle oh i love that, that is indeed very discworld
-F

thing we learned today from watching a speedrun: in dark souls, it's possible to avoid fall damage by dodging the ground

@ziphi it's cute!

@kobi_lacroix I would assume it's because cucumbers have a pretty subdued taste to begin with, comparatively speaking?

several pieces on the soundtrack to tales of the abyss, including the opening theme, were written by a Japanese band called BUMP OF CHICKEN
-F

i suspect no one will be able to figure out how exactly this video is a really oblique reference to tales of the abyss

@trysdyn A Johnson? But yes, that sounds like the kind of character I would appreciate.

sparkling water is actually pretty nice

we'd never really given it a chance before but it's nice having a fruit-flavored fizzy thing that isn't obnoxiously sweet
-F

@hi_cial we have not, but i'm thinking more about the time they helped the US air force with the orion project (that rocket propulsion system powered by thousands of nuclear bombs)

Still feels weird to think that coca-cola was, briefly, technically a defense contractor of some sort

a track that's been on our playlist lately is called "YOU'LL SEE OUT THE END OF THE TALES"; it's the final dungeon music from Ys 8. I'm not sure why soundtracks always seem to be translated weird even when the game is translated well; we would have just called it "You'll See This Through"

I also have no idea why it's all caps. Every piece on that soundtrack is.

@socks we have played some of shovel knight, which is also zelda 2 inspired
-F

@socks we should try it sometime
-F

@Hayling@weirder.earth that's true! though the japanese version has a much less good battle soundtrack
-F

@terrana Just because it's supposed to hurt doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt. In fact, it means if it didn't hurt it's probably a sign it's not effective.
