I remember being a wee Mollusk and thinking the original Legend of Zelda was mind-blowing. I'm old.

While not the original (is it 3? not sure), Legend of Zelda is still a great game

Didn't Goldeneye have a thing where if you played Slappers Only, Licensed to Kill, and got the body armor, then if someone slapped you on the chest, they could take damage and die instead of you?

I have this distinct memory of wanting to beat my friend's older brother 1v1, and I died when I chopped him in the back.

So I went to a friend and he made ramen, added some fresh enoki mushrooms, really good nomnom.jpg but now my tummy hurts and it turns out you’re supposed to cook enoki mushrooms but my homeboy didn’t and I snacked on a lot of them like chips :3

Poor you!! Please don't mind my giggles at your misfortune.

So I've realized half of my bakery team doesn't know how to take cake orders properly. Today's the last straw unfortunately due to what kind of information was written down:

pickup: 12
1/4 sheet vanilla other: 9
buttercream icing
ice blue put balloons like superfetti mini cake in case rainbow
$42.99

What looked like a stacked cake apparently was actually a cutout number 9 without being said that it was a cutout number 9. Long story short, lady who placed the order demanded to get cash out of a refund for a credit card purchase, which is actually not legally possible, all because of bad information on a cake order sheet.

Boils my blood when entitled people try to pull off stunts like this with us.

Thank you :3 xD

Man, did Sunkist always have caffeine?

Man, did Sunkist always have caffeine?

Once upon a time, it did not. It tastes really odd with it, and why I don't drink it anymore.

In other news, I FINALLY figured out why I'd have such bad FPS changes despite having such a high end laptop. Turns out there's a program called GameBar Presence Writer caked into Windows itself. Whenever I was playing FF14 or any other PC game, it was taking packets from the game as well. Proceeded to do a workaround to rename it so it wouldn't be used by the system. Now I have stable 90FPS (I capped it a while back in Nvidia) in every area, I don't even lag anymore during the big AoEs for the first boss of the new 24 man. I feel like I've broken free from shackles.

I never knew Sunkist had caffeine in it. I've always either drank tea, coffee, or soda for my hits.

Also never knew of GameBar Presence. Makes me wonder what else Windows baked into itself.

I've got a midrange gaming laptop and now you make me want to check for it myself.

If you want to give it a shot, this is the video I used for it.
