so uh.. how are those popotoes?

Among the ingredients is:
- 8 gloves of garlic
- 6 TBSP of butter
- and a 1/2 cup of sour cream

They're frickin delicious~
It does my people proud : P

The cookbook looks so cool, but with Christmas around the corner and my sister and I traditionally gifting each other stuff from our main fandoms, I don't want to risk buying it.

An understandable struggle.
If she doesn't gift it to you I hope you're able to nab a copy later.

Are the cookbooks on the website?

That sounds more like Lalafell Scampi than mashed.

I got the alternate cookbook cover from GameStop.



Unrelated, but holy crap do I need to clean my keyboard.

I logged into the game the other day to check around, and wow.. I don't think I have ever seen so many people in all the hubs. I'm sure it's been like that for awhile, but it's quite different to actually see it for yourself. I have logged in several times the past few months, but I am mostly on my housing plot, and queue directly to the DF.

Are we ever going to see a character as based Pelinal Whitestrake in XIV? Probably not.

I've always favoured the Elven races in most fantasy settings, personally. The trend of proud, ancient races being wiped out for the sake of humanity to prosper is a trope I find to be rather stale.

I prefer them aesthetically usually, and I like that they have more unique lore than like generic fantasy high medieval human kingdoms... well, that or "barbarian bonk" humans. Funnily enough, I have gotten into arguments in like ESO, or steam community, with human purists - the people that only play as one. A lot of people do like that trope. I wish more games sort of fit their lore like how ES does their races, speaking on that.. What I mean is quite detailed and unique backstories, that tie directly into the world's unique setting. Granted, ES has a habit of having that lore trampled on with each further entry. You know nords actually have/had their own pantheon of Gods?

I'd actually like to see more unique racial lore and culture in this game as well, speaking of that too. I like how Ishgardian elezen, hingans, garleans, etc. are fairly unique. It would be interesting if they delved deeper into this sort of stuff, in EW, and further patches and expansions.
