I've also been playing Mario Maker on Expert and right now I'm not sure I'll ever need another videogame. Some of the levels are religious experiences.

I'm happy with my WiiU. I bought it last year give or take and between it and a gaming PC I don't feel like I'm missing much gamewise. I'm excited about 3D stuff in a year or two though, but as much of my gaming as possible is couch co-op and that seems unlikely to be a thing in a 3D future.

Bloodborne looks cool, but DS 1-3 exist. I only buy a couple of new releases a year and get everything else on Steam. Steam owns.

I roasted a bunch of different kinds of mushrooms only this time I used sesame oil instead of olive oil. It worked out really well. Gotta put some chipotle chili powder on them when you put them in the oven, that's the secret to amazing roasted mushrooms.

okay i dunno if there are any bug/insect nerds on here but like

this huge fuckin bug flew over my head in my kitchen and i can't find it which is freaking me out

at first i thought it was a wasp or hornet or a beetle

but it didn't buzz really loudly, if at all, which made me think maybe it's a moth? but it seemed to have a big stinger-lookin thing on it's butt??? and it was like maybe half the size of my pinky

goddamn i'm just gonna be holed up in my bedroom now like :tinfoil:

don't worry the house spiders will kill it.
unless you're the type to murder house spiders, in which case your comeuppance has arrived.
(Where do you live in general? That's going to help narrow things down)
*edit*

I tried the avocado oil when I made mushrooms. They were much better than when I'd been using olive oil but about the same as when I used sesame oil, maybe a little better. Thanks for the good advice Mrit.

actually eating bugs is good and should be done more often. plentiful, low-emissions source of protein

They're too crunchy, they're like shards in your mouth. I mean, you're eating shells and most of our diet is softer than that. I've only had the mealworm larvae coated in various powders and chocolate ants though, maybe some bugs are less terrible.

So it turns out mixing wine and Coke has a name. I thought it was just a smart thing to do, but no. If for some reason this hasn't occurred to you as a thing to do, it is tasty as hell and you should try it.

Does anyone remember a post from I guess 2008 that was basically about how the previous president took over the current one's body after the election? It blamed GWB on Clinton being irresponsible and was basically about Obama looking on in horror as GWB heads out to take the oath of office in his body.

Doing your civic duty sucks. I mean, obviously you should do it, but courthouses are terrible places. In the Commonwealth of Virginia (God drat the entire place (they seriously have a Jefferson Davis Highway (loving US 1 the rat bastards) running straight into DC)) they can ban electronic devices. 'Pez,' you say, 'that sounds totally reasonable. Shouldn't be in court on your cellphone.' It's the entire courthouse. Of course lawyers and cops get an exception. Witnesses though? Nah, come sit around this boring rear end courthouse for however long, under penalty of law if you justifiably decide you personally don't give a poo poo about the crime you inadvertently witnessed. They also don't comp parking, the fuckers.

I've noticed a lot of people under the age of 20 can be really entitled little snots.

You know, I've dropped my iPhone at least a dozen times, once down some stairs, and the Otterbox I got the guy at the Verizon store to throw in is hardly even scratched. What are people doing to their phones?

How can you show off the rose gold in a black box. Otterboxes are amazing though.

About the inheritance stuff, can you setup a trust for your brother? It'd be kind of an allowance thing, and as the executor it'd be easy to do. They wouldn't need to know that the deceased hadn't done it.
