To be honest I was surprised Yoru cared enough about her friends for Denji’s scheme to work. She’s not as heartless as I would have guessed. Interesting!

Gosh, this whole chapter was the cutest. Vamola was cracking me up throughout. She understands about 30% of what is going on but she’s totally game for anything.

Also, Ken totally got stabbed a few chapters ago and is like “eh I’m fine” lol.

I actually really enjoy a thanksgiving (or christmas) ham, but my spouse isn’t crazy about it so we rarely if ever go that route. Maybe I’ll talk her into it next year. 😋

Today I prepped and dry brined the turkey. We have done Kenji’s butterfly cut recipe for a few years now and it always works out well. I also got the gravy made ahead of time so tomorrow it’s simply a matter of reheating and checking the seasoning levels.

Also got a pumpkin pie baked and some bread out getting stale for dressing.

E33, Hades 2, and Silksong are all very very close for me. I’d probably pick E33 as it’s the one whose story resonated the most but at the end of the day I’d be happy with any of them getting the recognition.

Hades 2 is tough cause after having played early access for so long I’m almost not that excited about it anymore which hurts it a tiny bit, but that shouldn’t take away from the things it did well.

Sorry but I lost it at the narrators delivery of “Your core abilities include […] the ability to jump.” 🤣

Nintendo has a unique knack for making this stuff sound as boring as possible, don’t they?

Haven’t seen it mentioned yet so I’ll throw out a digital scale. Ours isn’t any special brand, but I picked it specifically because it measured to the tenth of a gram and not all scales will do that. I use it all the time, for baking, brewing coffee, portioning things out, making consistent sized burger patties/meatballs etc.

I have a regular thermapen as well as the thermoworks “dot” leave-in thermometer. Both are invaluable. I can’t imagine roasting anything substantial without a reliable way to check the temp.

Excellent pick. We have a zojirushi as well and that thing is a workhorse in our house.

The swarm of devils there started to give me Berserk vibes.

I picked up Vampire Survivors, played one round, and was like yeah I think I’m done here.

Yesss that was so good lol.

It’s possible I’m thinking of another game entirely on the other thing. Haha

“You can change the difficulty at any time in the settings screen” during loading screens after dying always gets me.

The segment in Ultra Deluxe where the narrator reads mean Steam reviews is so good lol.

I would have swore there was a moment in Disco Elysium where a character makes fun of you for talking like you are trying to exhaust all the options in a dialog tree. But now I can’t find it. Anyone know?

Hollow Knight Silksong.

I’ve been bouncing back and forth between Silksong and Hades II. The struggle is real.

Ahh this sounds so much better. I’ll have to make time to replay the end myself.

Aaah well, that’s too funny. Guess that shows how disconnected I am from the community haha. 🤣

Never heard of this game but it looks neat! I appreciate good construction and those player boards with the inset tiles look really slick.
