  • The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

    My older cousins got me into it, and they were the coolest.

    My first playthrough took months to finish. I would just roam fighting every enemy, cutting every bush, charge into every tree, sprinkle magic powder on every living being to see if they would transform. I loved that it felt limitless in the secrets and exploration. It’s definitely the main reason I’m so into the Dark Souls games as an adult.


  • Raw celery. Most people seem to say it has no flavour. To me it smells and tastes similar to vodka and makes me sick to even think about. It’s also kinda squeaky on the teeth which is unacceptable. Cooked in a soup or whatever is fine.

    Cabbage rolls. Specifically that combination of ingredients has made me sick by smelling it in the past, though it’s not as bad now as an adult, and they do taste good. Cooked/boiled cabbage in any other context never bothered me.

    Pickled onions. I love onions and can eat them raw, but I couldn’t even finish one mini pickled one due to the resemblance to stomach acid, taste and smell.





  • What is this weird feeling that I’m feeling?

    Appreciation, maybe? There were books before the internet, but I think it’s no contest that the internet is the best resource for information that has ever existed. Pre-internet people didn’t have FOMO because they didn’t know what was coming.

    FWIW I don’t think it’s weird at all to feel that way. I grew up when the internet became accessible to everyone, and I would not want to go back to before then despite the new problems it poses.



  • Moving far away from the place I have lived almost my entire life. Like you said, it’s hard to see much of a future - there isn’t one here for me. It’s unaffordable, I hate most of the neighbours, and I’m paying rent at twice the cost of a mortgage payment. A renoviction would make me homeless. Fuck that and fuck this city, I’m out this summer.

    Do you not use yeast in your dough?

    First time doing pizza dough from scratch, and I purposely didn’t use yeast because I wanted it somewhat thin and crispy. It worked out well, but I would definitely use yeast for a thicker/fluffier crust.

    I’m not crazy about anchovies, but that does sound really good. This was my first time making the dough from scratch, but I’ll take your comment as inspiration to get more creative and infuse it with deliciousness in future pizzas. Thanks for sharing.
