I'm gonna recommend that everyone check out The Thaumaturge, a disco-like CRPG from a couple years ago. You're a wizard in 1905 revolutionary Poland and you collect and battle demons like they were Pokemon. Gameplay is solid, writing is good, aesthetic and vibes are absolutely fabulous

Saturday Night Dinner: Avgolemono Soup! From scratch: twelve eggs, eight lemons, dill, carrots, onions, celery, and a rotisserie chicken. Two big personal triumphs: first was using the rotisserie chicken carcass to make stock for the base of the soup, second successfully blending in the eggs.

Made Chef Boyardee's original pasta recipe, following www.tastinghistory.com/recipes/chef... Tasted like I remember it tasting from childhood, not how it tastes from the can today. The noodles had a special distinctive textured bite. Not a complex recipe but nothing wrong with it at all.

The actual sad-funny thing about this is that the Somethingawful forums have an ongoing, still-active thread posted originally by Vilerat. It's about trying to fight bullshit right-wing email forwards. forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.p...

"We all have those crazy family members who feel it’s their duty to forward on every single ridiculous piece of political garbage that hits their inbox to everybody on their mailing list. Unfortunately every time we see another email from granny it’s a 50/50 chance it’s either a rundown of how their day went with pictures or some terrible forwarded chain letter that usually describes Obama as a baby eating Nazi Jew who will put granny in a death camp while swallowing your soul. Many of us probably even set up their computer enabling this and a good chunk wish we could go back and maybe write them hand written letters some more so they wouldn’t feel they had to get the internet in order to keep track of the family.
Oh well, damage done.

This thread is going to serve two purposes:

A. A repository of all the crazy we get emailed so we can laugh at them.
B. A place for you to write out thoughtful “canned” responses to mail back so maybe, just maybe, some of them can be reached with logic and reason.

Oh well at least we can still have some laughs.

~How this works~

If you receive an email from granny that is one of your typical lunatic fw:fw:FW:You won't believe this but it's true!!! style emails we want you to post them in this thread. We'll all have a good laugh at them but more importantly some of you will write out a reasoned cited response which we will then link in the OP. People will inevitably get the same email since these go around in cycles and you'll then have a ready response for when you inevitably get the same one in your email."

I've been going *deep* into dwarf fortress after the Seige Update made "star fort" style designs practicable. Here's a video of a full scale goblin seige with a demon and a cave dragon running full tilt into this fully armed and operational battle station. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jcx...
