Topics of discussion:
- “Can you please turn down the heat? It is really unconscionably hot in here and your autocratic control over the thermostat due to constructing a Thermostat-o-Tron is really unhelpful.”
- “I actually have a boyfriend so I am not technically single, it’s really new but I should be excluded from this conversation.”
- “Your efforts to turn your degree in electrical engineering into being a mad scientist are generally not working very well.”
- “I get so lonely at night sitting all by myself in my big, soft bed. You know what you could do for me? Sit in the corner of my bedroom and recite the entire script of Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of Lord of the Rings from memory. Do the voices, too. You have to do the voices. Both of us will be fully clothed the entire time, I am ace, this is entirely just a different sort of hobby for me.”
- “Exactly how wide is the area we’re located in? I have smoked a large amount of what I thought was pot but I now realize may have been bay leaves.”
- “I feel like What Are You Playing has taken a more disturbing turn this week.”
- “What’s the deal with people who can’t actually make a joke of their own but feel the need to turn everything into a reference to other media? Like, what’s up with that, right?”
- “Seinfeld quotes!”
Bonus question: What is the best kind of bread for toast? Wrong answers only.
Andrew Ross (@dengarsw): Global Unova Tour is hitting, so I’m going to do as much of that as I can. But also, Monster Hunter Wilds is out so that too. And new(ish?) Splatoon 3 season. I…I’m not sleeping again this weekend, am I?
For the bonus, phyllo dough is obviously best for toast. Y’all love crumbs, right?
Brianna Royce (@nbrianna.bsky.social, blog): I am super sick right now, so I haven’t gotten to play anything, but if I feel up to sitting in a chair this weekend, I need to do more planning on my Lord of the Rings Online migration chart. I also wanted to check out the new The Sims 4 patch and the Star Wars Galaxies Legends bonus exp weekend, but realistically, I doubt it.
Bonus: obviously bread cat
Chris Neal (@wolfyseyes.bsky.social, blog): Monster Hunter Wilds. Also I will probably dip into some Warframe – yes really – but it’s literally all about Monsters and the Hunting therein.
Bonus: Use pieces of Spam in your toaster for a delicious morning treat!
Eliot Lefebvre (@Eliot_Lefebvre, blog): I have to wait a bit for the next Warframe update, but I’ll still be doing stuff there along with taking part in the latest Moogle Treasure Trove event in Final Fantasy XIV for the weekend. That’s a weekend, right? Well it’s my weekend. You can’t get into it.
People will tell you that you can’t toast lighter fluid, due to it being a liquid and flammable and not something you should put in your toaster. Ask yourself this: Are they telling you that because they’ve read books, or are they telling you that to keep all that delicious lighter fluid toast to themselves? What if you put lighter fluid in your toaster and it catapults you straight to the Toast Zone? There’s only one way to find out without doing any external research!
Justin Olivetti (@Sypster, blog): Primarily, I want to dig into World of Warcraft’s 11.1 after a very busy week of barely getting to touch it at all. So you will probably find me Tokyo drifting around goblintown in a very irresponsible fashion and I will not care one whit.
Sam Kash (@[email protected]): I suddenly had a friend suggest I need to play Mecha Break. So I’m going to look into it. I don’t know if it’s open access or not but I need to check it out. I’ll also continue my efforts in Armored Core VI. It’s a fun game despite some parts of it that are really annoying.
Bonus: Sweetbread
Tyler Edwards (blog): WoW and The First Descendant. Debating if I want to start on Undermine now or give the crowds a few more days to die down, and meanwhile I’ve started on unlocking Ultimate Descendants.
Bonus: Bread forged in darkness from wheat harvested from Hell’s Half-Acre and baked by Beelzebub.
