The Like a Dragon games from the Yakuza series are turn based. You can move around and interact with the environment and party members during character turns, so I feel a bit more involved than just issuing a command.

I didn’t think I’d enjoy it after the more brawling style of gameplay in the other games, but it works well for the story, and they feel like their own thing rather than just another iteration of the same with a different MC.

The fruit wrinkles by the same company were the best fruit snacks for me!

That’s perfectly fine to like it but like whatever you want. It’s one of the few childhood dreams adulthood actually allows us! 😄

I’ve cooked for people that thought regular black pepper was borderline too spicy, and that’s their prerogative.

They’re all how hot most average hot wings are, if that helps. If you wouldn’t eat Buffalo wings, you won’t like any of these sauces.

Toasted bagel (sesame or poppy preferred) if I’m more hungry, English muffin if less hungry

Scrambled egg for even texture

Pork roll/Taylor Ham if available, or either bacon or sausage, whichever is better at the place I’m at.

American or cheddar based on my mood

A good cracking of black pepper

Hash brown on top of I’m feeling extra

Cholula

A Tabasco-like hot sauce, pleasant enough to go well on nearly anything.

I’m a Franks Red Hot or maybe Crystal kinda guy myself in this department, but they are ubiquitous North American red pepper sauces.

My brother one day asked me to go run some errands with him. I had wanted to go to the toilet before going and he said screw it and left without me.

I know it would have changed the timeline and all that had I gone with him, but a lady ran a stop sign on his way home and they got in a wreck.

My brother broke his arm and had to be cut from the car, but the engine and transmission was shoved through the passenger seat, so had I been there, I would have been crushed or cut in half or something along those lines.

I always think about how my ass may have saved my ass that day. 😅

I like your style!

Yeah, some are just not pliable enough. Heating on a skillet or in the microwave. I usually microwave with a damp paper towel, but I went to find you a vid of a nice floppy and pliable tortilla and this guy was doing it in a ziplock and it looks like it came out great without the paper towel and water, so I’m going to try this out myself next time.

(I just watched that other video to the very end where the littlest kids is like eh, I don’t like it and left! 😂 I stopped before that when I sent it to you, I mainly checked to make sure the guy didn’t do anything weird in his recipe or get annoying.)

I usually keep frozen ones (chili cheese) from the store that I toss in the air fryer for lazy lunches.

Otherwise, the fun is you really just roll up whatever you please in a tortilla. I will usually use leftover roast chicken shredded up, corn, rice, black beans, and cheese. Warming the tortilla helps you fold it up without it tearing.

It’s like a sandwich, both in function and construction. They’re dry on the outside and sealed so it’s portable and a self-contained meal. Also like the sandwich, you can use a recipe, but the fun is getting all the ingredients and their proportions toy our exact tastes.

If you do want a basic recipe and to see how everything is assembled, this is a really simple video showing construction of a slightly dressed up bean burrito.

You can also put them in a baking dish, pour enchilada sauce on top, and you have enchiladas instead if you want something saucy.

I’m glad there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Getting away from my family is the second best thing I’ve ever done for myself, after getting my depression treated, which I of course, blame on so many years of not being able to get away from them!

I will support you in spirit as your crispy burrito bro!

Nice. I always like to grill (or air fry) the burrito for a little texture contrast, but everyone else finds it a waste of time.

This sounds a bit more serious than I originally took it as you just wanted some peace and quiet from family. I avoid most of my family, and I see them maybe 2-4 times a year, but this sounds like less of an option for you. It sounds like you’re trying to be the bigger person by showing up with food even though you don’t want to. I wish you the best of whatever your situation is. ♥️

What’s for dinner tonight?

Saturday is a day dedicated to me. I’ve felt not great physically all year, so I’ve been drained from my Mon-Fri job. Saturdays my wife works a 12 hour shift, so I sleep in (the plan is until 8, but it’s been more to 10-11 lately) and the rest of the day is watching movies my wife won’t watch (horror, war, or just plain slow, weird, or subtitled) and practicing piano.

Sunday is dedicated to the animal rehab in the AM and chores in the PM, so that’s why I claim Saturday.

That’s such a shame. I’ve always felt a bit better about it being my introduction, as it didn’t seem terrible going in with no preconceived notion about what it was supposed to be. I could feel lots of cool pieces of an idea, but it never got me hooked on playing. I enjoyed the terminals learning about the world, and the factions were interesting, but none of them were fun or felt like they had too much of a chance to reform the Commonwealth as they were.

After I stopped playing, I still enjoyed watching the lore and the TV show, and some bits of playthroughs since I don’t have anything that will play the other games and I’ve really enjoyed everything Fallout otherwise, so I’m glad I had something to get me interested in the franchise.

Did you go back to the series and play 76? I never learned much about that one as I heard it was even more disappointing and empty at launch, but I’ve heard some story bits since making it sound like they added things eventually, but I’ve never been curious enough to seek it out.

I’m not a very active gamer, and Fallout 4 was the only one I ever played. I got to the end basically, but no faction really seemed like a good choice so I took a break before starting down the final path with anyone. Years later, still haven’t ever gotten around to it.

Love the whole Fallout universe lore though, and I probably watched more hours of gameplay and lore videos on all the games than I spent playing FO4. I at least got that out of giving it a go.

It went open source a bit ago if that may have been a sticking point.

I’ve been on Summit forever now. Very active development, and they’ve added every feature request I’ve had along with many others’. I lose track of all the options it gets anymore.

It looks good, works good, and when it doesn’t, it gets fixed quickly.

I share lots of posts and articles and put them in quote blocks and just bring able to select all text and guy a single button that auto quotes all paragraphs won me over for good, and then multi-communities was the icing on the cake.

If you ever ask what app has feature X, it’s likely already in Summit.

In the sense of “do women deserve equal treatment in society?” 100%!

I idolized my grandmothers as a kid, and they did a better job raising me than my actual parents. Both sides of the family always seemed much more matriarchal to me.

The one time I was ever in charge of anything was at a fairly sexist job and I repeatedly fought to get the ladies’ pay more in line with the guys, I reported a few people to HR for making my staff uncomfortable, and I ensured the one employee got a private lactation area after she had a baby.

Now I volunteer with animal rehab, and that is a field that is about 90% women, and they are all so badass, compassionate, they do every job, and come from every walk of life.

To see all I’ve seen and to not think anyone deserves the same treatment as me because of their gender would be insane. I don’t like labeling myself, because I’m always not going to fit someone’s definition of that thing, they can call me whatever they want, but I like to see whoever is around me getting treated right.

I miss colorful cars.

I bought my 2008 Honda Fit in orange in Jan of 08 and gave it to my niece who turned 16 this spring. I took over my wife’s blue car as she wanted something with AWD. It’s a nice blue, but it’s a lot harder to pick my car out in a lot these days.

At least it is Nardo Gray.
