It’s straight up fucked how less expensive video games are here. I bought the “Return to Dream Land” remake here and had to do a double take because it cost me under a hundred bucks. Life… could be dream…?
I feel like even if you account for the exchange rate & also costs of shipping I could straight up pay friends to buy and mail me a game and give them a tip and STILL be saving money.

hi holly :) do you like stuffed animals? if so, what kinds are your favorite?
AnonymousI like ‘em. I used to have a ton of them as a kid. My favourite one is an old Beanie Buddy orange cat, who I loved so much and so hard that she looks completely unrecognizable from how she looked new-in-store. She’s floppy and small and a little more fragile now and I always thought there was something beautiful about that.
Puzz has a very similar Beanie Buddy cat that’s also like this & it made me tear up a little when I saw them. I know this is a fairly common Childhood Stuffed Toy experience but it still feels nice to be seen like this, to see yourself in this, y’know? She has a lot of stuffed toys. She has this pink “Splatoon” squid pillow that I’ve been keeping by my bedside while I visit.
hey i just wanted to thank you for sharing your content with the world. ive gone to past vods so many times when my paranoia gets the best of me and keeps me up late, and it always helps to calm or distract me from whatever's going on in my head (especially the picross stuff. i didn't even know what it was before finding you but ive since picked it up myself and use it as another tool to calm down when i need it). you're always a joy to listen to and im incredibly thankful for the things you upload, even if it's just silly games n jokes and all that.
AnonymousThis message made me smile. Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for tuning in. 💜
I've been reading through a book called The Rain Heron, by Robbie Arnott, and it's been very interesting so far.
I bring it up because there's a middle-aged squid farmer woman who laughs a lot and is covered in scars who I think you would enjoy. But also because it's interestingly written, with no quotation marks for dialogue, and a scant few named characters. It's akin to a less dreamlike and visceral Cormac McCarthy book.
Okay have a nice day
AnonymousI think I had someone else recommend this book to me at some point. I read a summary and it sounds interesting enough, so maybe I’ll try tracking it down and reading it at some point. Thanks!
Do you have any particular pasta or meat recipes you enjoy?
AnonymousI don’t really cook with meat a lot because I cannot stand the texture of 99% of raw meat. Straight up cannot handle it without having a freak-out incident. It’s like the one texture issue I have with food. Fish and ground meat feel fine, for whatever reason. And sausages, usually (though that’s ground meat in a tube). This was something I was a little self-conscious about for a long time, but it wound up okay in the end because my partner is vegetarian & that helped me get more comfortable with cooking vegetarian stuff that doesn’t suck ass. Main thing I can think of here for Meat Recipe is “putting a ham hock in pea soup when you’re making the stock is A Really Good Idea”, but I feel like someone out there would say this barely counts. Too bad. It’s my post.
I’ve got a lot of pasta recipes I like but most of them boil down (ha ha) to “cook some garlic in oil & also some other veggies” or “simmer the everloving shit out of some tomatoes and maybe a bit of wine, maybe braise some veggies in it”. There’s others that don’t fit this bill but this is most of my pasta rotation. I’m dogshit at lasagna right now but I want to get better at it.

hi holly! i was watching some of your monster hunter rise streams while drawing and wanted to ask: what is your favorite animal buddy from the monster hunter series?
If you mean “buddies” in the same way they use it in game: I will always be the world number one Palico enjoyer. They always come with me on my hunts unless the game prevents me from taking any.
If you mean “what’s your favourite monster” in the general sense: Arzuros, Goss Harag, Espinas, Gammoth, Zamtrios, Seltas Queen, Nerscylla, Kushala Daora, Velkhana. Not in any particular order. I’m also leaving out other guys I like a lot. Otherwise it’s just be a list of most monsters LOL
Following on your Neverwinter Nights question, what's your opinion on real time with pause CRPGs compared to turn-based ones? I really want to love a lot of infinity engine games / pillars of eternity but I can never get used to real-time gameplay.
I like the real-time stuff well enough, I think. I haven’t played too many RPGs with systems like that, but I’m all for try something difference. Don’t think I’ve ever played any that made me think “I hate this”; at most it’s like “this will take some getting used to”, y’know?
