i have a copy of shining force on Saturn waiting for me to play it. idk why I’m getting more into RPGs when i have almost no time for them. interesting reason to play a game. though whatever promotes healthy sleep habits haha.

check open discord communities for practicing languages. i know they are out there.

Alternatively, look for english speaking discord communities that you identify with or share interests.

The first i wouldn’t have thought to do chocolate. don’t know why, but vanilla is my go-to.

some other combinations ive recently had that i rather enjoyed were:

Tarragon soda with vanilla bean

Green Melon soda with vanilla

oh damn this community work with some real machines!

phone, wallet, garage door opener. All things as small as i could reasonably get them. my wallet holds (and can only accommodate) my drivers license, work badge, and a debit card.

atm an iphone 14 pro. i used to use an android soap phone which was less than half the size, but sadly certain things didn’t work well on it :(

If you count a backpack, i always carry one with my laptop, a current book I’m reading, a handheld game console, and a small med kit with various otc drugs and bandages.

first two things come to mind:

water-cooler conversations at work would be different. telecommuting may be an important option during the season.

My shiny seashell collection may be in jeopardy. the ladies love seashells 🐚.

my cousins raccoon also got very hefty. i think i just chalked it up to just how he likely just has so much easy access to food on the farm.

My cousin had a pet raccoon he found as a baby on the side of the road. its mother had been hit by a truck and so he took it back to his farm where he raised it and kept it in an old chicken coop. took it to the vet for vaccinations and everything. It lived a pretty long life i recall and so long as you were nice to my cousin it was nice to you.

When wed hang out the raccoon would choose someone’s head or shoulder to perch on doing whatever activities we planned. it was certainly a fun and cute animal to have around. Of course being kids we didn’t think of any consequences of taking a wild animal from the wild. Eventually he would stop keeping it in the coop and the raccoon would just stay on the property and instantly come running to you if you’d call its name.

the biggest issue i remember was its aggression towards anyone it perceived being mean to my cousin. It was so protective. My cousins older brother used to beat up on us when we were playing on the farm, but that stops really quick when you see a sprinting ball of fur with grinning teeth charging you from the horizon. It certainly scratched him up good often and bit him a few times. It was funny to us, likely traumatizing to his brother. It would eventually do this to most anyone besides my cousin so when you’d visit he would have to greet you before the raccoon did.

so true is the meme of the forbidden pet. you wish you could have a little companion like a raccoon but its just best to admire from a distance.

i think to a degree implementations of services like Games for Windows Live stopped the first golden age for larger studio type games. ofc not all games were GFW but such a service that after its cancellation caused some games to just become unplayable on PC was wild.

I changed my diet up drastically prior to starting my biologics. it started fine, and then maybe 2 weeks in, absolute hell. fair bit of abdominal pain, bloating, and my UC symptoms continuous. afterwards everything cooled down so to speak and i felt a lot better.

Perhaps staring your CurQD supplements gave you a similar effect? cant speak to the new findings.

So maybe? i don’t think the pain i experienced was because of healing but rather withdrawal from not eating all the junk I had used to. Though, I think the diet change attributed to a reduction of UC symptoms and ultimately the best condition i could have been in before starting my biologics which ultimately got me into remission. Weird to say I’m looking forward to my next colonoscopy and see what has changed for the better.

I suppose it depends on how you determine best, but emulation is gonna be the cheapest and easiest.

Im very interested in getting a Nintendo Watch and Play - Zelda edition to play it on there. apparently the audio is better on the Japanese version of the game and the WnP allows you to choose what audio you want to play with as well as the language. though I’m site there is a modded rom you could emulate that does the same thing.

otherwise you can pick it up on Nintendo online shop, physical NES or the GBA classic rerelease cartridge.

Thanks for jogging my memory! I completely forgot about that core fact 😓.
