Knob Creek Small Batch, 9 Year bourbon.

Around $50 at Costco here for 1.75L. About 8 oz in atm.

Knob Creek's my go-to for sipping and I'm eternally upset my state doesn't let places that aren't dedicated liquor stores sell liquor because i'm paying $40 here for .75 liters ;_;

Dead Nation, Super Stardust Delta, Ys: Memories of Celceta and a ton of PSP games.

How do people manage to play PS1 games on the Vita? There aren't any L2/R2 buttons and using the back touch panel is really hit-or-miss and uncomfortable.

You could customize the controls in the options, so like for Armored Core where you'd use them to aim up or down, I'd map them to the right-stick to simulate modern camera controls.

I haven't fired up my Vita in a bit, but Tales of Innocence R finally got a fan-translation, so thinking out going through that~

This is one of those things where they're not lying. Used to work at a deli that also made peanut butter. We just grab them from the snack aisle and grind em. Honey peanut butter is just ground honey-roasted peanuts.

I did an experiment with one of those. Ad featured the usual scantily clad women that gachas tend to, so I tried it, uploaded a short video with the EXACT same thumbnail they used, so clearly they thought it was appropriate, right?

Almost immediately got an email stripping ad revenue from the video and making me change the thumbnail for being inappropriate. Got a good laugh out of that.

Perfect IVs are a complete non-issue to get now since raids hand out Bottle Caps like candy to max them out, so the only issue is getting mons that like having spreads with 0 Atk/Speed IVs. Getting a full competitive team EV'd/IV'd up is really quick with that, vitamins no longer being capped at 100 EVs and Mirror Herb allowing a mon to get Egg Moves whenever.

Depending on the exploring you'd want to do, I'd say the story is anywhere from 20-30 hours, Teal Mask adding another 5-7 and Indigo Disk adding another 10-12 unless you're bringing in powerful mons to steamroll them.

Part of it is that mono-Normal just isn't what it used to be. Was a killer type early on when Fighting mons generally sucked, but it's a hard sell in a meta where Zamazenta and Great Tusk are everywhere.

Dondozo is built really similarly to it and has remained in OU since launch, so maybe a regional variant/Mega/Paradox with a better typing alone could rocket it back up

Been playing the series since '99, SV+Expansion Pass are far and away my favorites in the series.

Actual good story, though stumbles a bit at the end of Indigo Disk, fun movement options with Koraidon/Miraidon making the region a joy to explore. Glitches have always been overblown, since I've put over 500 hours in and had a single clipping issue that resolved itself almost immediately.

Healthy amount of new Pokemon that are mostly all winners outside of Flamigo being the single worst design in the series.

Performance absolutely does take a major hit in a few areas. Casseroya Lake, Tagtree Thicket and parts of Savannah Biome unfortunately run like shit, especially if a weather effect kicks in.

Easiest games to shiny hunt in as well, with Level 3 Shiny Sandwiches just about guaranteeing one will pop in the half hour if you're quick to despawn the non-shiny ones.

Tera Raids are hit or miss. Definitely prefer them to Max Raids, but 7 Star Event Raids are a bit of a pain solo and a massive pain online if the other players aren't following meta strategies.

Was my GotY two years in a row, so obvs recommend it myself~

I do cosplay builds nowadays and I don't deviate from what powers or abilities they have unless it makes sense to add it. Not even to defeat a single boss.

I gave up on the Senran Kagura mega-character, but I'm still doing cosplays. One I thought of that would get a double-take is Roserade (Yes, the Pokemon). I also want to do Cynthia (also Pokemon), Palutena (Kid Icarus), Morrigan Aensland (Darkstalkers), Rozalin (from Disgaea 2) and I kept Hibari as the lone Senran Kagura character of the bunch.

I NEED to see that Roserade one in action, that's genius

The "duo" part is a lie. It's usually three or four you have to defeat until they completely die because of the stupid way the fight is done.

I'd rather fight them over the Fire Giant, though.

Fire Giant wasn't bad for me, Scarlet Rot makes the fight take care of itself.

I have no clue what I'm going to do in Shadow of the Erdtree if Rotten Breath doesn't work as well lmao
