Reminder that there is a $5 eShop card raffle ongoing in this thread, all you need to do is post a picture of food and some comments about why/when/what you cooked/ate/saw it.

So far only 5 people have entered this week's raffle.

I am so damn tired today. Just another 3 or 4 hours of work, though, and then I can switch my brain off and let KOTOR's outdated combat guide me through the evening. It's boring, and hilarious when you're blasting right next to someone and the laser's flying all around them, but it's actually kind of peacable and low-key enough for me to go ahead with when fatigued.

And thus, the prophecy is complete.

I mean it is based off old D20 TTRPG logic

Actually it’s not that bad, it’s just a couple lbs of chicken, a can of pillsbury grands(cut and partially cooked before adding), a full bottle of bbq sauce and a bag of mozzarella

I want to revisit KOTOR, especially since I left my most recent save unfinished when I gave my PC to my brother.

I'm just busy with other stuff :cry:

KOTOR is one of those games that I started around 2010/2011 and said "this is pretty cool. I'll have to really play it one day."

Still waiting on that day to come lol

what if we’re having a rough week and haven’t had particularly interesting food to report on?
 
I'm not sure whether I want to continue SMTV. I thought I'd be able to 'tough it out' but I think that I'm just not a big a fan of the gameplay in JRPGs as I thought I was, and I don't think the world and such is exciting enough to put in the 35+ hours necessary. I'm starting to think that I'm just not a JRPG person, and the rare exceptions are that way because of other aspects that most JRPGs don't have (e.g. Persona and its style/story, Yakuza: LAD and it being, well, Yakuza). It doesn't help that the often sub-30fps framerate and blurry graphics are a hard thing to go back to, even if the main gameplay isn't 'active.'

It's kind of led me to another New Year's Resolution, that being to not force myself to play games I'm not into. And not to buy games that I know I probably won't be able to get into. It's so easy to fall into the trap of buying games just because "everyone else is," but it's really not necessary...

...it's part of why I think "list war," style rhetoric is actively harmful to a lot of discourse on how people are 'allowed' to feel about a console's library... but I digress lol

At least the game seems to be holding its value so I can get a decent amount for trade-in :)

There's no time frame limit for the food, if you have a picture of something you cooked 10 year ago that works.

I baked with my mum few weeks ago and we (she did the most since she's professional lol) baked salted caramel eclairs.

It's still good! Despite showing its age. I will always have a soft spot for KOTOR2 but if you have a passing interest in Star Wars then the first one is a must-play in my book.

That's the best part about JRPGs lol

Don't like it? Sell it for what you bought it for

Even though I never sell my JRPGs and I replay them all the time :0

Those look fantastic!

I've been getting into baking myself but I'm way too nervous to attempt pate a choux, I hate that it doesn't give you exact amounts and you need to really eyeball it. I like baking specifically because I'm great at following instructions.

Those eclairs look awesome though so I may have to give it a try.
 
Despite its age I'm definitely enjoying KOTOR. Much better loading times and technical performance on Switch, and zero glitches so far. Replay attempts on Xbox 360 and Xbox One were wrecked by glitches, so I've only ever finished it once. Looking forward to the eventual appearance of KOTOR 2 on Switch.

I recently got into baking and my mum is teaching me all kinds of desserts. It's really fun and it feels amazing when you feed people you care/love. So far, I can make few cakes, cinnamon rolls, apple/strawberry/lemon curd turnovers and lots of Arabian desserts such as Ashta.

Best of all, it's cheaper and tasteir than desserts from shops and restaurants.
 
Was just listening to Game Informer's Most Anticipated Games of 2021 podcast and they wrote off Kirby FL as Kirby trying to have its BoTW moment. Between that and Legends, seems the general public's understanding of what these games are is way off base lol

"BOTW moment" doesn't mean "it's an open world game where you can do anything"
"BOTW moment" means "fundamental reinvention that totally changes how you see the series"

It should be treated as a good thing, not something you write off, though.

@Derachi I agree with you, but I didn't correctly represent their discussion with that phrase.

to directly quote them "let's take kirby and put him in an open world - what do we do with that? I don't know."

which is not what the game appears to be, at all

Ahahaha, exactly. I'll cut them some slack since they were running through literally every announced game of the year at rapid fire and it's a great cast otherwise, but yeah.

They also said that Kirby just needs new abilities because he’s been recycling the same ones for 20 years… which, nope lol
 
I used to subscribe to Game Informer magazine, then they made fun of Diddy Kong and I was like, "I'm good." Cancelled that shit on the spot.

Cooking and baking can be such a great way to bond with your family.

Unless you're me and a bit of a kitchenzilla who stresses when people don't do things exactly the way I'd do it.

Kirby FL to me looks like Kirby is having its 3D Land/World moment. Taking the tried and true 2D gameplay and giving it a new perspective. I guess it doesn’t totally apply since it didn’t come after 15 years of 3D titles like Mario did, but think it fits the spirit of my opinion.
 
Kirby reverse dungeon crawler, where you start at the bottom-most level. The only way to work your way up to the surface is to basically eat your way through it. Also, the dungeon is made entirely out of food.

Here's a fun thing!

Video game analyst Serkan Toto of Kantan Games tells Gamesindustry.biz that, and I quote:

I am aware Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is still selling very well on the Nintendo Switch, but Mario Kart 9 is in active development (and comes with a new twist) and Nintendo could tease it this year. On mobile, Nintendo has been very silent since Mario Kart Tour's launch in 2019, but I think 2022 is when we will see an established IP arriving on smart devices again.
