haha if only religion was banned from public administration

... well, it'd get complicated, in any case. Public jobs only for the religiously unaffiliated would be a hell of an experiment, though. Wildly unrepresentative demographics wise, but probably pretty interesting.

I've never tried banana on pizza before, I don't think? Do seem to recall chocolate just doesn't go particularly well with cheese as a general thing, tho'. Garlic on pizza is pretty ubiquitous so that should be fine. Mushrooms might change things up, I'unno. I wildly dislike mushrooms on food so I don't have much experience with 'em.

Still, might as well try it? I doubted donuts as a pizza topping when I first had the urge, but then I tried it and it was great.

Occurs to me you might get something different with dried vs regular banana, too. Banana chips on pizza sounds oddly tempting now that I think about it...

Today's experiments in cookie icing: Ground up watermelon hard candy and green (apple?) rock candy.

Verdict: Pretty okay! Also quite visually distinct, one being lurid pink and the other more or less neon green, both with small bits of harden sugar in them. Secondary reason there's no pictures, that (primary reason being I can't be arsed to take one after coming home from working and cooking for more or less two hours straight between the cookies and everyone's supper).

Bonus round of every icing (plain/cinnamon/watermelon/green) in one bowl: Also pretty decent! Also, uh. Also starting to turn black between the cinnamon and everything else >_>

Still, six by six batch of oatmeal icing medley, acquired.

Hell, all the options in that event leads to innocent people getting slaughtered, iirc. There's just "help with the murder", "help with the murder but also backstab", and "walk away from the ongoing murder". If there's an option that didn't lead to the mortals getting cultivator'd I don't recall seeing it.

Eh, it could be, but I've seen actual, not particularly horrific, kids books (that actual kids even read!) use basically the same conceit just with other stuff instead of a chain of santas. It can be played straight pretty easily instead of trying for something subversive.

If by "combine" you mean "sew them together ass to mouth", sure. Going by the summary+reviews, the plot appears to be someone trying to sew together the asses and mouths of santa, his stripper wife, and all the elves and reindeer, the elves trying to prevent this and maybe make a little proft on the side.

I'd link to something, but, like. The cover violates forum ToS.

E: In any case, I think I've figured out kid's book santapede (probably retitled The Spectacular Santapede, 'cause you need dat alliteration). You start with santa down the chimney doing santa things, but on their way out they notice the tree ain't got a crowning ornament and be like, "darn, I wanna fix dat but I can't reach", and another santa pops out like, "yo, imma help out" and santa one gets on their shoulders (Dunno if sitting or standing, but so long as the arms are free and the santapede starts off it doesn't matter much) and puts on the ornament, then they go up the chimney and reindeer off, 'cause once you gattai with santa you gotta' see that shit through, y'know?

Next scene the deer, having trouble with two santas, land on the ground next to a chimneyhouse instead of the roof, and nascent santapede be like, "how I gon' reach dat" and then two more santas pop out and be like, "got yo back", then they need to reach over to the neighbor house and three more santas pop out like santapede time, then they got to finish the neighborhood and the town and the local geographic region and the continent and get across the ocean and santapede just grows and grows and santapedes itself down chimneys and out windows and just kinda' santa threads its way through cities and around the world.

Ultimately there's this giant wireframe santa constructed from the santapede standing astride the world and it breaks down into a rain of santas that slip back into their beds (or under bridges or whatever if you got some hobo santas in there, this ain't just fat whiteman santa this is a rainbow and probably some missus clauses and whatever too) and that's that, with a big ol' santapede THE END or UNTIL NEXT YEAR or something at the end.

It'd be friggin' wholesome. If anyone goes on to take that idea and publish, royalties are appreciated but the existence moreso.

There's definitely a chunk of ace combat players floating around the forum, though I forget actual user names. You see chatter about the series pop up occasionally.

... haven't played more than like maybe two minutes from a demo or something, personally, though. Never got along super great with flight sim type stuff.

If by now, you mean six years ago, yes.

Sadly, it's not the cute children's book I was hoping for given the title. You could get something decently absurd out of a santapede if you went that direction, but whoever actually made the one that exists definitely didn't go that way.

... here's hoping no one donates it, it'd end up on my top discards along with the pyrophilia and grandma fucking an angel to regain her youth and the book of zombie erotica.

3189
Well, you'd need those extendo-reach things you see in cartoons to maintain proper distancing, to start. That's a stretch, y'know?

Comin' atchu from 1939, Woody Herman's Who's Dat Up Dere?

... it's oddly homoerotic, having listened to it a few times.

I've found it fine if you go like... one egg per cup? Two eggs for two cups of rice. No idea what that translates to in. In. Uh. The c word I've apparently forgotten the name of?

Except typing that made me realize the word I was looking for is metric and I didn't even have the right starting letter. Anyway. That's worked fine for me.

You can put egg in... basically anything, I think. Just whatever you cook, stir in some scrambled eggs. Good with rice dishes if you got rice (can also just put some eggs in the last few minutes of boiling rice and it'll cook right into it, good stuff). Can put on sandwiches super easy. Works fine as a pizza topping. You've already had potato omelets; dicing potatoes up and dumping in a bowl with egg and ~whatever else~ can be pretty good for quick/filling/easy. So ons and so forths.

Usually when I have an excess of something that's basically my go to: Whatever else I'm cooking anyway, add the whatever in whatever form is easiest to cook and add. Eggs happen to be stupid easy (even microwaveable!) to scramble in particular, so...

Ngl, last time I played FM3, my "how to avoid ejection" method was "abuse the hell out of savestates", so, uh. Better advice than that or to look up proper guides or somethin' I can't offer :P

Game definitely had some silly parts, though. Most of the FM series I can recall has a bit of that somewhere in it.

The opposite. Hospitals aren't required to do anything unless it's an emergency. Poor people often get thrown out as soon as they're no longer categorized as dying.

America terrifies me. I heard recent story of some guy who died because he couldn't afford insulin.
It happens a fairly noticeable amount, aye. Insulin is wildly marked up in the US, by and large, so if whatever reason you don't have insurance and can't afford however much monthly the insulin costs (which can easily be three digits), and well... rip.

Dream thing, but it was good for a laugh when mostly useless support character got an upgrade, took a risk on declaring the main protag's unknown boss as their patron (the other options had substantial problems that would have rendered them even more useless, heh), and ends up with a starting ability called "Satan, don't eat my soul".

Turned out the unknown figure that was bankrolling the party to fight its way through the legions of heaven and hell and kill the devil was the devil, ha. Apparently wanted to get killed so some kind of seal could get broken, allowing them to resurrect and reclaim hell or somethin' like that. Party leader goes into immediate denial, too, it was pretty great :V
