the downside to liking stories for the reasons we like them means it's really hard to recommend things to people because
- giving any specifics would be Major Spoilers
- half the time it's going to be "okay this game is really good but you really can't play it until you've also played these other six 40-hour jrpgs"

i just thought that was kind of neat how instead of having every failed recipe give you some junk fail item, you get "peculiar" dishes, with a unique one for each recipe, and some of them are very useful--they aren't just worse versions of the same
-F

you know how a lot of jrpgs seem to have some kind of cooking mechanic?

in trails of cold steel 3 and 4, rather than giving you just success or failure, each recipe has a unique entry in each of four tiers. so you can make something exactly according to the recipe, but there's a random chance to get a better version of it, a failed version of it (which has unique effects and can be useful!), or if you pick the right character to cook it, a unique extra-special version of it

honestly i feel like we've kind of dropped off on the whole talking-to-friends thing over the last year, maybe even continuing a trend from before then even

i don't know what to do about that

we don't like tomatoes for texture related reasons, but tomato soup is excellent (as long as it doesn't have chunks of tomato in it, see above)

@heatherhorns sorry i'm not sure what you mean?

feeling really drained from work lately, as you might have seen from our posts about it the last couple days
