    Eh, it's just kinda shitty timing. He's in the thick of some medical difficulties and is feeling pretty betrayed by his body at the moment. But I think I will bring it up at some point.

    Aww, thank you. I will admit being ace it can hard to feel a part of the queer community. There's not much to talk about when I simply, feel nothing. I've always felt like I more probably qualified as an ally.

    For the having a crush part, they usually go away after I ignore them long enough. But I will admit that I am worried to confess to my partner. I don't want him to feel he's not enough, especially because this new person is a coworker of his.

    I have to say the lgbt community on tildes seems so nice and supportive. Guess I could use a little of your joy myself, as I've just found out I'm bi a few days ago. I'm on the ace spectrum (demi might be accurate), so it's pretty rare for me to feel sexual attraction at all. For the first time the other night I felt attraction to a woman. I'm surprised that I feel ashamed about it, but maybe because I'm already in a long-term relationship with a man I love. Feeling a little weird about it right now, but trying to be joyful. I know it's not really anything to be ashamed of.

    It's such a versatile sandwich, so many cultures have a variation on smoked pork shoulder.

    Haha, right? And the way her chest is constantly twisted towards the camera, and the awkward way her legs bend inwards. She almost looks physically deformed. If I could meet the artists, I would question if they had ever seen a human before.

    I've only just started using the command conditions myself. That might be my favorite part! It's been very fun trying to narrow down the conditions. I've been playing around a lot with Auch most recently. I have a passive action equipped on him that attacks the entire enemy unit if it strikes a burned enemy. I've set it to target burned enemies on the command menu, but I've noticed it won't go off if no enemies are burned. I've been trying to come up with a way to have a secondary condition where it will target a non-burned enemy if there are no burned enemies, but there does not seem to be an if not setting.

    I have to agree with Narry. An original recipe can be a variation on something that exists, and I'd argue that's what much of food recipe innovation actually is. There are I'm sure thousands of fried rice recipes out there in the world, but it means something special when you come up with one of your own, based on your past knowledge and experience. No one told you how to make the pineapple friend rice, that recipe is still unique to you. Same with the tuna fried rice.

    Both sound good, by the way. Do you make the pineapple fried rice with ham? Those two go so well together. And any other flavorings you like to add to the tuna fried rice?

    Yeah, totally. They were being jerks in my opinion, really no excuse. Cannot blame you for getting angry.

    Started the month playing Unicorn Overlord, but got immediately sidetracked by LumenTales: the Memories of Trey. Monster tamers are my favorite genre, how could I not? I'm playing on Switch 2, and I'm a little torn because it's buggy mess. It's constantly crashing, and the autosave only triggers when you change areas/rooms, which means if you're hunting for a rare mon in a single area and the game crashes just after you caught it, you're out of luck, the last autosave was likely hours ago. Loading times are additionally terrible, and they happen every time you enter a battle, enter a building, or even change rooms in a building. Looking on the games subreddit/discord, there are also quests that are bugged and can't be completed, and the rare unfortunate soul who's save file gets corrupted or hardlocked due to a bug.

    From a gameplay perspective, it lacks polish. The hololens feels finicky and difficult to use. The opening tutorial lasts about two hours, however once you're past it nearly all tutorials stop. There is nothing telling you how to run, that you can fast travel, how to use the hover board, how unlocking information in the dex works, how to train your animon, etc. You will need to use outside resources and guides to figure things out, especially for animon evolutions.

    That being said, I'm having so much fun with the game. The battle system is very solid for an indie team, not to the heights of cassette beasts or monster sanctuary, but interesting enough to keep you engaged. Exploring in the game is the highlight, so many rare mons to find and fun maps to explore. Backtracking is optional, but rewarded as you often find new cool stuff. While the game lacks giving information to the player, you can sometimes find news articles and posters around the world that do explain item crafting, animon evolution methods, and hints at boss fights (it would be great if there was more of this). The art is also fantastic, with the games version of shinies having fun, unique art instead of just a re-coloring. Good mon design and good music. I'll be excited to see where the game goes once Beehive Studios finishes polishing it up, and addresses the bugs.

    Haha, what timing. I also just started playing Unicorn Overlord for the first time. The story seems meh so far, and some of the women characters jiggle physics are so bad I can only laugh, but the battle system is so addictive. Only just made it to the drakenhold.

    Sonic Adventure 3, but mostly just because I really want a modern chao garden game. It seems like a concept that would be ripe for releasing as a mobile game with predatory micro-transactions and I'm semi-shocked that Sega hasn't done anything with it. That being said, I think there is something to the gameplay loop of play a sonic level, then hangout in the chao garden. If the sonic levels are removed, I suspect that it would be beneficial to add something else back in to replace them.

    I've not tried it yet since my backlog is so huge, but it's a game I've been keeping an eye on and early reviews seem fairly positive.

    Yeah, people get very defensive about local dialects. I try to be understanding (particularly because in my situation I am the immigrant, it is polite for me to use the local dialect and I do use it, and there's the additional worry of American English overwriting British English), but I agree it is exhausting. I'm like, you knew what I meant.

    Edit: I dunno, I just find it really rude to correct people's language like that.
