Trying to decorate my house (or at least my living room) with a dark academia aesthetic now that the new update is out.

mandatory Cooper eyebleach
Cooper, a female cat that was formerly feral but adopted us as her own family. She was named "Cooper" because we assumed she was a boy, and was sleeping in coop with the chickens during the cold months. Cooper wants me to go to my bedroom and sit at my desk so she can lay down next to my chair and chill out Here is Cooper next to my chair being cute and accepting tummy rubs.

Thought it was impossible on Fierce but I found a strat that works (info in Alt).

> send 6 Rocks + Oatchi to fight the Porquillion > Send 2 rocks to fight each Mama Sheargrub (4 total). Pluck the extra 5 Rocks. You should have 10 Rocks with you. 6 Rocks and Oatchi are fighting the Porquillion, and there are 2 Rocks fighting each Sheargrub. > Break the crystal wall next to spawn and turn 5 Rocks into Purples. Go across the Snagret and turn your other 5 Rocks into Purples so you have 10 Purples total > Take out the Snagret. As soon as it begins to emerge, throw your Purples as quickly as possible onto its head. If you deal enough damage, it'll retreat underground and you can repeat the process > Next the Bulblax. Quickly chuck all 10 Purples onto the side of its face, whistling them back if it shakes them off or screams. Repeat. > Head for the Goolix. Charge your Purples at the tail, and when its core is exposed, throw your Purples onto it as quickly as possible, whistle them, and repeat. Once the Goolix recovers, quickly whistle your Pikmin and move aside. If the Goolix captures you or your Pikmin, it'll take even longer for it to expose its tail again. > If done right, the Rocks will have killed the other enemies by the time you take out the Goolix

Finding out that I like alcoholic beverages if they have enough sugar to hide the alcohol taste 🍫🌱
A grasshopper, a 1:1:1 ratio of creme de menthe, (clear) creme de cacao, and heavy cream. Tastes like melted mint chip ice cream, and I wish it didn't take me 7 years of being of drinking age to find out about this drink.

Can you tell I'm extremely familiar with Pikmin 3?
The end of the day, showing that I've collected 8 fruits in a single day. This is being done in Pikmin 3's "Ultra-Spicy Mode" Another look at all the fruit collected in 1 day All the juice I have in reserve. Note that in Ultra-Spicy Mode, fruits give 50% less juice than normal No deaths either. If I lost a Pikmin, I'd reset the day. Sometimes this was quite difficult; the Quaggled Mireclops in particular is very difficult to beat without any Pikmin deaths in Ultra-Spicy Mode

I've beaten Pikmin 2 multiple times and it never ceases to amaze me how completely unhinged it can be.

average Submerged Castle behavior.

Pikmin 2 is so traumatizing that I forget how traumatizing it is until I replay the series.

I don't get people sometimes
Health Inspector meme from SpongeBob First panel is the Inspector choking with the subtitle "Musicals" The second panel is the Inspector enjoying his meal with the subtitle "animated musicals, singing competition shows, song numbers in TV shows". Basically the fact that people (like my dad and brother) have no issue watching things like animated musical Disney movies, singing competition shows, etc., but have a weird aversion to actual musicals, even in live-action movie form. My brother liked Encanto but made a cringe face when I asked him if he wanted to see Wicked For Good with the rest of us, then asked "is it a musical?" with reluctance. ???

Managed to reset the game, going back to the last autosave (right before sunrise) and thankfully the Shiny was still there.

Thank Arceus that saves can salvage failed Shiny captures

They should NOT allow shinies to run away, especially when I wasn't even close enough to notice it or trigger the sound effect/animation...

Had to make it after seeing the video last Friday.
Will make again and again.
