    Funnily enough, I'm the only one in my (Taiwanese) family that enjoys it. We tried it recently again for the first time in years, and my mom, dad, sister and her boyfriend all couldn't stomach it....

    Funnily enough, I'm the only one in my (Taiwanese) family that enjoys it. We tried it recently again for the first time in years, and my mom, dad, sister and her boyfriend all couldn't stomach it. I think once you get past the smell it's actually pretty good! Though we're also into stinky tofu so...

    Thank you so much! I totally feel you on the backlog thing too, I really feel like I've been needing to go through everything but I'm also just been zoning out to Megabonk recently.

    Hi everyone,
    Not quite a deal but just wanted to say I'm back! A lot has happened in the last month for me, I just moved to NYC (from Jersey so not too crazy of a move) but I'm finally settled in after a week and a half and a long time being just majorly depressed. My Zoloft has been kicking in too I think and with the move I've had a lot of changes in my life.

    Gonna do a minor giveaway ahead of our usual giveaway around Thanksgiving as a small thanks to the community for being very kind.

    Please note, these keys are gonna be Humble links, so they're not guaranteed right now (Humble has been really terrible about old keys recently). If you have had Humble Choice for the last year, you'll have access to all these games anyways.

    Please comment on the game you want, one game per person, 24 hour cooldown, you can ask again if someone hasn't asked for something in 24 hours.

    List of games:

    WWE 2k25

    Spellforce: Conquest of EO

    Warhammer 40k Speed Freeks

    Death's Door

    Wizard with a Gun

    Warhammer 40k Boltgun

    Shadow Gambit

    Eiyuden Chronicle

    Ultros

    Corpse Keeper

    Dredge

    Nova Lands

    Diplomacy is not an option

    Distant Worlds 2

    Griftlands

    Beneath Oresa

    Against The Storm

    Jagged Alliance 3

    Fort Solis

    The Pegasis Expedition

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

    Stranded

    Coral Island

    InfraSpace

    If you like him in this I'd suggest his stream and also Lemonade Stand. I don't fully agree with everything Atrioc says but I find that he's pretty well spoken and does his research when he talks....

    I think it's really funny that Gavin kept trying to steer the convo back to reaching the kids and stuff but I do appreciate that he seemed receptive to talk about the pressure that Atrioc brings up. You can definitely tell he's still a politician though.
