Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Well, one week from now I'll be on my way to Chicago.
Pretty excited to see good ol' Windy City again, and of course seeing Distant Worlds again; this time for FF's 30th anniversary celebration.
I'll be sure to take plenty of pics for y'all~

So "Ruby" chocolate will apparently be a thing now

'Ruby' chocolate is characterised by a "fresh berry-fruitiness" and a distinct colour, which distinguishes it from its predecessors, Dark, Milk and White. It is made from the Ruby cocoa bean, which has a distinct set of attributes to those used in other chocolates, and is the result of several years of testing by Barry Callebaut.

Is it actually chocolate though? Strictly speaking, "white chocolate" isn't actually chocolate. It doesn't contain any cocoa solids.

My mother, for instance, has a very strong chocolate aversion to chocolate because something about the cocoa solids triggers really, really bad migraines w/ numerous physical manifestations.

She can eat "white chocolate" with no problem because it's not the cocoa butter that causes the problems, it's the cocoa solids.

Also:


Give me a *** break. Seriously? "Hedonistic indulgence?"

Because there's a single person out there who won't take time to enjoy a thing if they have the means and inclination. Nope. It's just millenials!

...we'll ignore the fact that Gen X'ers and X/Millenial tweeners are the ones who made the craft beer, vinyl, specialty coffee, and similar phenomena take off before millenials could even buy booze...

soundlicous

From what I've gathered It's from a different breed of cocoa bean (Think like how the bananas we had 50 years ago were different than the bananas we have today I guess) that they were initially struggling to process. It's proving tricky to find any solid information amid the "Look guys pink chocoloate", plus a lot of details probably still in house.

Lets not forget drive in theaters being their Netflix an chill.

I miss drive in theatres

*** you. Renting movies on VHS was my Netflix and chill and I was chill. Like Mister Freeze without the dumb helmet.

Edit: apropos to Proth's post, I did go to the drive-in with my wife too.

My home town still has an active one!

Just closed for the season though.

Complete with a "vintage" website.

Aww yus.

I still need to get/play Nioh but can't afford to drop 80 on it off PSN and never see it in stores : (

Battlogue episode 2 tomorrow!

Still annoyed that Lightning Black Warrior is getting a normal release kit while Fenice Liberta and Amazing Z'gok are P-Bandai. >:I

Keep an eye out for PSN sales! It's a very fun game. :D

There's one near me (somewhat), probably would only be 2~ hours from you, if I recall correctly.

It died like everything that was pre-90's America.

Ah the memories:

I miss having to duck down in the back seats covered in blankets at the ticket booth.

I saw Back to the Future and Weird Science back to back.

Walking from the car to the snack building in the center of the lot.

Oh and adjusting your radio to tune in to the actual broadcast...

Now all a drive in is good for is a settlement in a post apocalyptic Boston.

If that were true I'd consider it a fair trade.

Sadly...not so much.

Well some of those things just don't die...they're like Zombies that ate your neighbors.

Some days you just want to watch the world burn.
Some days you add kerosene to the fire.
Some days you are the one lighting the match.

Today is the day that people would throw some meat on the fire.

Hahaha newbie!!

Managed to pick this up for the show/meeting Uematsu.

I'm not that nihilistic :/

aww

THere's a used copy at a local store for like $35 or something. Thought about picking it up, but just don't feel very interested.
