you can tell that they really try to make each one stand on its own if necessary but really, you *can't* start with any one other than the very first without a) having major spoilers for everything before it and b) having trouble understanding what the hell is going on, at least if you aren't starting from the start of a story arc

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

the fact that they explicitly chose not to capitalize it is a bit unexpected though

apparently ON Semiconductor finally changed their name to just onsemi, which sure took them long enough because everyone's just called them that for as long as we've known

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?
-F

still just feel like... really bad for not being around for friends much lately
-F

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

today we talked to our boss about taking a week off to recover and we're doing that starting now

hopefully this helps
