Probably something absurdly unhealthy-- like danish's or those bear claw pastries lol. Bagels are up there too, of course.

Heheheh how did you know that . . .

Okay, technically it is. The problem being that I actually haven't ever played it. I have however, watched a lot of play-throughs and sat with my own sister when she played it. So I've had a lot of experience with it lol. The story and art direction of Majoras Mask is phenomenal, but I haven't played the game so I don't have an opinion of the mechanics yet. 

Favorite Zelda that I have played so far is probably Skyward Sword.

What can I say....

Skyward sword is fantastic. And I highly suggest playing MM eventually.

JM! Do you play DND?

Also do you agree with me that the modern slang is just dumb?

That's a complicated answer hmmm

I love dnd and I have played it before, but I don't get to play it very often because I don't have an irl group to play with. I used to play with my family a few times a year but we've all gotten too busy. Plus, my older brother who was DMing for us has started DMing officially for a local game shop, so he can't do it for us anymore. My sister's fiance did start a campaign with me and my siblings that was more homebrew (he even gave us miniatures for it) but he and my sister live out of state so they don't come over very often and we've only played once so far.

I tried going to my schools dnd club and . . . it was an experience to say the least. Imagine one classroom full of 50-60 people, and there's only 4 DM's to split them between. Not to mention the uh . . . lack of hygiene from my fellow nerds, which was a bit of a deal breaker for me.

We also have a PM dnd group here on the Shard that's been going since last summer which is pretty fun, but like rp's on the Shard it's a lot slower paced than normal irl dnd would be.

So yeah! I love dnd! I think it's awesome! But I don't really play it that much . . .

Alternatively, I think it's fine, if not completely natural. Language is meant to change and progress over time, as times and people change. It shouldn't be held to the golden standard of 'if you don't speak like my grandfather, your stupid.' Every generation has it's slang, and so does mine. 

Shakespeare's 'modern slang' literally made a large amount of today's 'proper' English.

Do I use the slang? Sometimes, though perhaps not as much as my fellow gen z. It's a manner of using some words to express some things and some words to express others, I guess. Sometimes, the slang will convey my feelings better, and other times, words from the oxford dictionary will feelings better. It's a matter of situation.

Sorry that was a bit long winded, but langauge really interests me, and I think how it morphs and changes over time is kind of beautiful.

(That being said, I do dislike how sometimes modern speech can be more disrespectful . . . there's cursing and disrespect in every generation so I don't know if it's worse now then before, but either way I wish people were kinder with they're words.)

THANK YOU!!!! FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT!!!!

Languages are so cool 

Which leads me to my question,

If you could learn any language right now, what would it be and why?
