I work on networking @ Xbox. I also tend to obsess over things like NATs, UPnP, and IPv6. Tries to be a Niceguy online. Posts are mine and mine alone.
@neonepiphany.com no whipped ube this time, but I’m very intrigued by the Black Forest. Also curious about the calamansi, misugaru, and milk tea. I’ve tried the everything bagel in the past. It’s good, but I’d stick to the sweet flavors.

Finding that last item was a bit challenging, even with the in-game guide. But managed to knock out that last achievement to finish the expansion. I enjoyed revisiting the world and seeing some new areas and puzzles. But I missed the brilliance of the villain and the companions from the main game.

This is hilarious. I forgot that I had pre-ordered this yeeeeears ago when GCU was still a thing at Best Buy. And kudos to them for honoring the discounted price from my ancient pre-order.

Not sure that I knew that there was such a thing as "ham salad". Seems like gastric distress would be an expected side effect of any ham salad, not just the ones recalled.

The reviews that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are getting are amazing. How cool is it to see such a response to a studio's first game?

Fisher Scones Wagon will be at the Kirkland Metropolitan Market tomorrow, which also happens to be Administrative Professionals Day this year. Yup, pretty sure this is a sign that a scone run is meant to be.

Phew! Glad I came across this recently. I can’t believe I didn’t see that detail about the time that pre-orders go up this week until now. I was expecting it to be a morning drop, as per usual.

If I magically woke up tomorrow morning with the space and power for an arcade room, this would probably be the first addition. I was so hooked on this game as a kid.
