Yoshi's Island is, imo, a perfect video game. There isn't a single flaw in the game to me

The aiming controls suck IMO, it probably doesn’t help that I grew up on the GBA version which maps eggs to R but basically the one flaw in that game is that it’s main mechanic is clunky unless you’re using an emulator (looking online the SNES Online remapping is global and not game by game :()

This has been my weekend



I picked this game up to play with some coworkers, mostly as sort of like a networking kind of thing. Didn't expect to like it as much as I do. There's something really satisfying about the crafting system that respects your time and lets you

a) Level up a good weapon to keep in par with the enemies you're fighting
b) Change the traits on your weapons to something more applicable
c) Upgrade the rarity of your super high level blue/green weapon to make it useful.

I don't normally go for these types of games; I bounced off of Destiny and didn't play much borderlands after the first one. I'm probably going to play this one every now and then until it eventually gets shut down for whatever GaaS reason they come up with.

Also, agreed on the story. It sucks and the skip button is very useful.

Pet peeve talk: it's pretty annoying when I'm watching someone's LP of a horror game and then the game just ends and it turns out it is a demo that is probably not gonna get finished. It's fine if it is tagged as a demo but there are several that just end with "to be continued in full game" or something along those lines.

Why make a full game when you know LPers desperate for horror content (because that gets the most views) are going to guarantee thousand of sales of your unfinished demo?

Ah, now I remember. I thought was a different game. Yeah, that one was a bit of a downer. Fits in well with the classic Dragon Quest experience, though. They always have one or two like that.

Remembering the fun times in Dragon Quest V, when the main character spends ten years petrified in a garden with the only thing to break up the monotony watching the son of the rich couple who bought his statue grow up before being abducted by monsters.

You encounter a mermaid waiting for her fiance - a human she rescued and fell in love with called Kai - to return to marry her as he promised. He was engaged to his village elder's daughter and needed to return home to break off the engagement.
You go to the village and find out mermaids are bad at time, as they live around 500 years, so the dude is long dead. Even better, turns out when he got back to his village and broke off the engagement they thought the mermaid cursed him so they burnt his boat and exiled him. The village elder's daughter marries someone else and has a child, time passes, and her new husband and the village elder both die in a storm. She's so distraught that she hurls herself and the baby from the loving cliffs into the ocean. Kai rescues the baby (the woman drowns) and feels obligated to stay and raise the child, knowing that he'll never return to the mermaid to do so. You find this all out from Kai's (adoptive) grandson.

At this point, you can either tell the mermaid the truth or lie to her. I told her the truth.

She comes back to the island to meet the grandson, realises that Kai loved her all along, grows legs to walk onto land so that she can touch his grave stone then kills herself by throwing herself into the sea where she turns into sea foam because once a mermaid walks on land she can never go back to the sea (shades of the non-Disney version of the story of The Little Mermaid here).

It's all very melodramatic but it's definitely significantly darker than anything in the game up to this point besides (early game plot spoilers) your village being razed to the ground I guess.

As CharlieFoxtrot mentioned I've been dabbling in sushi for the last month or two. I wouldn't say I'm good at it but the resulting product is edible and tasty so that's sufficient for me

Last night I had a few different things I wanted to do. I wanted to use the unagi I had bought from the Asian market (eel is my favorite sushi ingredient), I wanted to make nigiri, and I wanted to make tamago sushi in celebration of Bunny Day. (When I went to the market and asked about eel the woman took me to a freezer and shoved four different ingredients into my arms including the eel I asked for as well as the tamago.)

I'd say it went ok



they look nice and were tasty, I do not have a comment on the structural integrity of the rolls themselves. I ate too many of them, but I do have an eel roll waiting for me in the fridge for breakfast :unsmith:

Thanks Chef Eddy for showing me the nigiri packing technique as well as basically everything I know about sushi:

your plate is dirty (in terms of the photograph I'm sure it's actually clean enough to eat off of) and there's a weird water trail leaking out of one of your pieces of sushi that you could have wiped up for a nicer presentation.

yeah I noticed that too, I thought you were talking about the positioning or the lighting or something

the water was on my hands to keep the rice from sticking

keep in mind this was “let me snag a quick pic for my foodpost square and then get back to making sushi”

CF's food posts have me really wanting to learn how to make my own ramen broth like he does. Tonkotsu is my favorite but I know that's a pretty laborious process. I should look around for simpler at-home recipes to get started with. I have an unending love for ramen of all kinds but getting good ramen takeout is not cheap.

A bunch of these games are free though

I wanna say the most baffling one of those is one that does cost money that is $4 on steam and isn't listed as early access but also isn't actually a complete game for 2 reasons.

1. The game is a collection of 11 separate but interconnected games (interconnected meaning stuff like doing extremely cryptic things in an earlier game using info you gained in a later game) but only 6 of the 11 games are available to play.
2. The developer won't release the next part of the game until people find 3 hidden symbols in the most recently released game and the symbols are generally super hidden and there just isn't enough of a fanbase to bother sifting through all the cryptic stuff, with the 6th game having been released in 2019.

i think i'm the only person who buys it from them but they don't seem to mind. it's loving perfect, that dough. place has been open since '59 and they're still using the same yeast, it's magic.
