To this day I'm confused when someone says "ice cream cake" but when someone says "vienetta" I'm like ooh yeah.

As a kid Vienetta felt like the poshest dessert imaginable. No idea why. Well, OK, I know why, marketing really works on kids coz kids are dumb

Same. Those ads must’ve been very convincing. I’m pretty sure Pizza Hut offered it as a dessert option at some point too.

Yeah the Viennetta was only ever broken out when ”fancy” ice cream was called for

Would you be my new best friends?

When I was a kid I went to a friend's house and his mom said they were having ice cream cake after dinner. I had to be home at like 9 and the ice cream cake still hadn't come out. I lived nearby so I basically ran all the way home, told my mom,"Hey Andre's mom said I could have desert there is that okay?", she said yes so I ran back, knocked on the door and explained I was there for the ice cream cake. After I had some I straight up just went back home.

Kid me had some loving balls I'll tell you what.

I want to get one of those fancy masks all the Formula One teams wear but they’re stupid expensive for a mask. Knowing my luck the second I buy it they’ll say Covid is over, so maybe I should?

you should wear a mask for the next 2-3 years at least. anyway if you were starving to death and the only food in the world was cat eggs and dog eggs, which one would you eat?

Buy that poo poo.

Work gave me a golf cart to get around the race track and drunk fans keep jumping on the back. Which is funny because I have to drive to entrances, which is half a mile away from the races.

might also consider either purchasing or making something like these (the url here is just an example I looked up, so don’t take it as specific endorsement). my mom crocheted us up a few very similar items when it all went to hell the first time; they work pretty well and can be downright cute

Actually, I’d had that image in my head for about 20 years. Dogs and eggs are two completely different things, right? But, even if it’s a dog providing the warmth, as long as the eggs are warmed well, they’ll hatch properly. Maybe birds will hatch from those eggs…or maybe something different, something even greater. There are all these hidden possibilities where you don’t know at all what might come of it. What’s being incubated is the ideas, the people even. But, up until then, I never found a company that was just right for the image, so I carried it with me all that time, waiting for a company that could use that logo. That’s why, when we had the conversation we did, I thought to myself, “Ah, the time has come at last.”

They find out that the death gods they can summon are eating their memories, but Squall rightly points out that said death gods are the source of all their powers and that they'd be up poo poo creek without them. So actually GFs do beat the power of friendship after all.

tetra master and triple triad are very different. i'm pretty sure they wanted tetra master to be stupid and confusing on purpose in order to entice players into buying their 1 dollar per month guide service, which also included a standalone version of tetra master. i've aids. the values on the cards were just soft suggestions that would then do an invisible dice roll to figure out the 'real' power. triple triad isn't very complex and all the rule sets weren't a good way of adding to it, but what they did to make the next card mini-game more interesting also made it an extremely unsatisfying game
