I'd love to buy the Year of the Monkey from you, if it's still available.

Welcome to the site.
Do you have any particular favorites when it comes to games? Or ones that you find yourself returning to repeatedly?

I've got to hear the story behind this.
If I had a nemesis, I don't know that I would spare a thought for them. I'd have to be all-in, or all-out.
Posted in Does anyone here use Pinterest?

I don't recall the reason I started using it, but yes, I have a Pinterest. My "boards" are mostly art and architecture references. Only in the last year or so did I start to divide the pins into more acute categories like "references - hair" or "references - eyes." There is one board for home design, one for Stardew Valley, one for party/hosting ideas (back when I hosted them, ahahh..) and one for my OC that acts as an idea/inspiration board.
I've found that the food/recipes aspect of Pinterest are just awful so I don't have any real food pins/boards.

@Totalanimefan: Ohh, that sounds exciting. I was last in NYC just to eat some dim sum with visiting family. I don't go into the city often, and I don't know that my partner is interested in Pokemon. Even so, I hope you have a blast!
I'm going to try and pick a weekend to head into the Bronx for some restaurants I bookmarked.
@Qiqi Agatha: Thank you for the pictures, it looks like a really lovely experience.

@Qiqi Agatha: I like the fake Coachella idea, haha. How were the poppies?
I'm just going to be casually job-hunting, and maybe go out on a date with my partner. They wanted to start mapping out all the comic cons/conventions that are scheduling soon and I thought visiting one of the borough food festivals would be exciting.

It was worth it, haha. We took a nice trip to Florida and spent time on the beach, and another day in a pretty natural spring (Ponce de Leon). We also made a nice walk down a fishing pier which was very lovely; the weather was just perfect for that emerald water and a nice breeze to keep you cool with all the sun. The weather the entire time was really beautiful and we felt very lucky for the timing. If there was any complaint, it would really only be that my friend and I did our hair to go to a nice dinner but the humidity puffed it up as soon as we arrived. Thank goodness for hairpins!
We ate shrimp to our heart's content.

Hope your sunburn heals up. I got a little too much sun myself and completely toasted my cleavage. To be fair, it's probably the first time in a decade it has seen the sun, so I had it coming. That being said, the sunscreen stick from Roundlab was amazing; not a single touch of color or freckle on my face.

I'm looking forward to the summer and for the opportunities that come as the year progresses. I'll be awaiting some exam results and regardless, I hope I'll be able to withstand the conclusion. I'm also going to visit a friend before they move out of the country so it's going to be a little bittersweet but I also know that this is a great opportunity for them.
I'd also really like to plant some lavender or herbs. And barbecue. A lot of barbecue.

Everyone is always trying to turn pizza into a calzone.
Totinos is just a very, very, very small calzone.
That being said, it's interesting to learn. There isn't really much information on her despite all the big donations in Minnesota.

We haven't planned too much. There's a trip next month, but April is about the time that all the night festivals and food markets get started up so I'm excited for those. I found a couple of them through instagram so hopefully I can discover some more interesting food in the city.

Oh, how wretched! I just don't understand how some people can be such animals; it's absolutely bewildering sometimes. There's this restaurant/bar review on yelp I read where some woman complained that she was double-charged for a drink. Well, the owner had to clap back and reminder that she was so intoxicated that she not only (a) did order several drinks, but also (b) shit herself in a booth and then proceeded to leave her shitty pants/underwear in the washroom. Whether this is true or not is up in the air, but honestly, I believe it after the stuff you see people do.
@Q t e a p o n: I never understood the people who try to make "public" spaces their own private rooms. Like the people who try to work on sensitive work in a busy cafe, or have sensory issues that decide to camp out in the entrance of a busy hall. I always think they just like to start messing, you know? (¬‿¬ )
It felt like Covid really enabled the people who are mal-adjusted. We had so many unhinged adults just throw tantrums both over Covid and following the re-opening. If you hadn't seen the videos, it was of this woman banging on and then proceeding to lick the glass door of a bar because she wasn't allowed in, that one woman screaming about her constitutional right to shop at Trader Joe's, etc., you get the picture. Don't you just wish that cashiers had a trap-door button on their registers? One boop, boop, boop and they could just open a trap door and an unruly customer just drops into a pit of expired coupons.
@Aisukohi: Whaaat is with people?! How embarrassing. (/▿＼ )
I love a good rage-quit story, but they're always so much more embarrassing than you initially think. No one just has a blow out and quits, they always try to destroy things or hurt other employees.

One of the things I like to ask people--after the obligatory greetings and small-talk how-do-you-dos--is what their wildest work story is. I've heard (and even experienced) some interesting ones. From a person coming into the ER with a screwdriver in a place it has no business (the person thought it would help with bowel movements, go figure), to witnessing an epic meltdown of a coworker. Sometimes I just want to hear what the craziest thing they've seen is, or what kind of customer left them with an unforgettable experience--good or bad.
It's usually bad, let's be honest. Something about those cringeworthy experiences just stay with you.
What are some of your most eye-popping work experiences?
Do these things happen often for you? How did you react when it happened?

I would say that my favorites have been the Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon series. I also enjoyed the Rune Factory games that are still designed more classically; they just have a cute aesthetic and a nice balance between farming, battle, crafting, and story.
Recently I've been playing Graveyard Keeper, and while I do enjoy this game, it frequently shuts down my Switch and lags terribly so I can't really say it's a favorite.
