When I was a kid, I used to love eating pizza hot pockets with a side of cottage cheese. To me, that was a good meal, the two things went well together.
I would love to have a hot pocket again, but they are owned by Nestlé and I fucking hate Nestlé.

Does anyone know of any good off brand hot pockets besides from Schwans?

I recently learned that the word finicky only has one "n". Pretty cool that the language I speak is a glorified minefield designed to make me look foolish when I inevitably take an errant step

Sorry for the relative lack of posting from me this week. I've been trying out this novel activity called "shutting up"

i got wound up in a conversation with door-to-door home-security salesmen, and i told them immediately i was not interested and they just kept going and going and going and going and i felt like i couldn't escape the conversation despite being totally indifferent. i need to work on being more comfortable with confrontation and assertive but also these people should be able to recognize when they're wasting their time.

i think i answered almost all of their questions with "idk" despite knowing the answer to everything they asked me. "how many cameras you got around the house?" uh idk a couple i forgot. "why'd you put them up?" um idk "your neighbor said there were some kids that would roam the yards" uh idk yeah i guess idrc about kids

playing on non-nintendo hardware tastes like coke out of a pepsi bottle or kraft mac and cheese with barilla pasta or something.

buru5,
@buru5@mstdn.games avatar

@rootcompute it's better from a pure gameplay perspective, absolutely. i think, for me, the inability to transfer pokes to other versions (easily or ahem, officially) and the lack of connectivity to other people is what makes it feel off.

the context here is i plan on playing crystal on my miyoo mini plus and it feels a little weird. i haven't looked much into trading/battling with others on weirdo hardware though, maybe it's possible?

@rootcompute there's also that element of, like, pokemon (+ nintendo) feels like the most DRACONIAN thing in all of gaming; so playing on non-approved hardware feels like the gamer police are going to burst into my home at any moment and confiscate my furret.

being serious, 7 was the last "good" one, i think. normal 32-bit XP variants couldn't use more than 4gb of RAM and had no volume mixer. the volume mixer by itself is a game changer for using your PC as a multimedia powerhouse especially if you use it to play games while watching TV shows or what-have-yous.

The greatest MMORPGs blind you to the fact that they are stealing your time and money via tedious gameplay mechanics by making you feel totally immersed in a world that's better than real life.
