Mistrunner Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 This talk of regional foods leads me to one of my main complaints about American stereotypes- namely, the one that "American food" is fast food and junk food. You know what American food is? Think of Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey, corn, cranberries, pumpkin pie, apple pie, really any kind of pie- American. Now I want turkey.

I'm assuming this isn't in response to my earlier post, since they're within the same minute? Unless you're some kind of ninja typer. For clarification, I think the very idea of deep fried butter is disgusting, but I seriously saw some t the county fair last year. 1
Silverblade5 he/him Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 What is everyone being for Halloween? If you have a costume. I am being a WWII airman, flying a P-38 Lightning. In pain. I don't have a final verdict yet, but I think I passed 1

You're the ninja!

Mistrunner Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 And now, for some reason, I'm thinking of a South African candy. My sister did a study abroad there and brought some back. They're called fizzers and they're like carbonated laffy taffys. They're good. And I have no idea why I'd think of it because I think I had it in fifth grade or so.
Delightful Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 We have fizzers in Australia. They're great. 1
Mistrunner Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 We have fizzers in Australia. They're great.Could you... send some over? For a friend? (•_•)
azninvasion99 he/him Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 In pain. I don't have a final verdict yet, but I think I passed Congrats! I remember my black belt testing years ago, it was so stressful but was a great feeling when I passed.
Delightful Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Could you... send some over? For a friend? (•_•)Over to where and what are your country's customs like >_>

Kobold King he/him Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 All my life I've had two different kinds of dreams. There are first person dreams, in which I myself am wandering the dreamscape. Then there are the third person dreams, in which I watch the story unfurl like the expository narration at the beginning of a movie. Last night I had the latter kind; I dreamed of a science fiction setting two thousand years in the future. In this future the entire solar system has been colonized; people live on every moon and planet, but the majority of the population lives on board massive orbital space stations. When they talk of the history from before the colonization period, they call it "The Mud Age," as it was the sad, pitiful time when the entire human race lived on wet Earth. There was a new calendar system in use in the dream-verse, too. 1969 had been made the new Year 0, as it was the year in which the first human beings set foot on another planetary body. Under this calendar, the dream took place in the early 2000s, I was born in the year 27, and my parents were both born in the year 2. I am totally going to harvest this dream for my main setting. 4
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 I think your subconscious would be insulted if you didn't.

Zathoth Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) You know what would be really cool? A Cosmere fighting game. Then we can finally have Vin fighting Szeth, because we all want to see Vin vs Szeth, dont we? Now, I admit, I have not played a lot of fighting games in my life, but I imagine it as being either classical 2D, or 3D with a bit more mobility so Kaladin and Szeth can actually run on walls. For characters... Scadrial Vin (Has Duralumin)KelsierElend (Stronger than Vin and Kell, but has less fancy attacks)ZaneSpook (Spook wont have Atium like the other Mistborn, instead he will have Bendalloy for dodging attacks and Chromium to...

Silverblade5 he/him Posted November 1, 2015 Author Posted November 1, 2015 It's finally over! I've officially passed! And I am in so much pain right now. 3
Kobold King he/him Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I used to beat my younger brother at chess all the time. We fell out of the habit of playing for a year, and now suddenly he's Bobby Fischer. We just played three games. I won one, in a close and hard-fought match, and he won the second two easily and without losing more than bishops and a few pawns. Ugh. Maybe I'm just a lot worse at chess than I thought I was.

Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 Just spent 2 1/2 hours rewriting an essay. I have so much fun! 2
