@Draco_V_Ecliptic Haha I’m about halfway through uni so perhaps I’ll look back on these years as fondly as you!

@Arugula think it will just be classed a racing incident, four abreast into the corner doesn't work. Not sure if they could have done anything about Max's power loss but with it beached in the gravel we'll never know so I have mixed feelings about gravel traps.

@Arugula I can see the race going on with no pit-stops now if everyone swaps to hard tyres now. The back third decided to start racing before the rest did.

@Arugula I think it's because Bottas ( well within his rights in rules) left it to the last possible second to get going and some of the back just responded to the green lights. I don't recall a restart after a safety car getting going on the straight before. It feels like they normally go for it the corner before. Your right they might have to look at it.
Yeah the tyres are still a bit of an unknown on this track I suppose.

Current word is that it looks like scientists have identified signs of life in the atmosphere of Venus. If so, it would at least provide something good to come out of 2020!

@nessisonett That’s something good? What if that life form is set to come over and conquer Earth? Or perhaps be another microbe that is set to cause global extinction when it’s brought back to be studied in a lab, only to break free and infect everyone.

...I probably watch too many Sci Fi movies.

@Th3solution The microbes couldn’t do any worse than most of our global leaders so I’m up for it.

Pulling my hair out!!!! I have 2 PS4's. Myself and my two kids play on these. I bought minecraft for PS4 (also have bought as ios/android/windows). so, all i want to do is to be able to have them both on the Playstaitons playing on a server that i have setup on my windows machine. problem is that only my login on PS4 will allow to play the full game. I am really hoping that i do not need to buy the game 2 more times to accomplish what i want to...... second thing i will want to do later is be able to setup a realm via my windows account so they have a place to play online with their freinds, i am guessing at this point that i will need to activate 2 more ps plus accounts (one for each of them to accomplish?)

As I play Dark Souls Remastered(GiantDad build, Guts (Berserk) build, previously) and Dark Souls 3 (Geralt of Rivia build, currently) ,I reflect that I am playing these games purely for the pleasure of playing them, as I have already completed both of them, and am just playing them casually; for the sake of enjoying the quality of the games with different builds, and perhaps seeking out the odd, elusive trophy that I may have missed, first time around.

A little update on the Japanese snacks I've eaten over the past few weeks.

First up an instant noodle bowl that you're supposed to eat cold!
Untitled
Untitled
Pretty ingenious, it had a peel off slotted area on the lid (on the opposite end where you open it up) to drain the hot water after cooking. Afterwards you fill it with cold water, drain it again, and repeat a few times until the cooked noodles are cold. The noodles themselves were good (you mix in the ingredients after cooling them off), but although it's a fun novelty I think I prefer my noodles hot.

Next up is "Soup de Pasta", a cup clearly marketed as more of a western style take on the concept. It featured Spaghetti style noodles & Cod roe (the little red bits).
Untitled
Untitled
Definitely not one of my favorites. The seasoning mixed up into a hot watery take on a cream based sauce, it had a pungent fishy odor (as someone who generally likes seafood, this isn't a complaint I've made before), and there weren't many noodles. To my surprise after the stink, it actually tasted pretty okay, but not something I'll purposefully get again.

Next up is a cup of "Kitsune Udon", which is of the same brand as the "Tanooki Soba" I posted last time. It featured fried Tofu. Untitled
Just like it's predecessor it tasted delicious, with a rich, almost sweet flavor (which I think is from the Nori, now that I paid attention).

Next up is a pack of onion flavored ramen.
Untitled
Nothing particularly standout, but they tasted pretty good.

Finally, a bag of Evangelion branded potato chips. They come in a few different variants, but I got the Unit 0/Rei design in my box.
Untitled
Untitled
I think they were supposed to be some sort of special flavor, but they seemed to be just regular potato chips to me. Tasted good, just nothing special or exotic.

Sorry for the long post. I had intended to post these as I ate them and just got behind in actually doing it, lol. I know it's probably not that interesting a topic.

@RR529 I find it interesting! Always good to see tasty food from different countries. I got a slow cooker this week so made garlic and Parmesan chicken thighs with roasted potatoes. Not bad at all, although slow cookers really are slow. 4 hours in there!

@RR529 Were you too busy eating the snacks to post about them?

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@nessisonett, thanks, that sounds good!

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Well it’s probably my biggest passion other than gaming so I do cook a wide variety of stuff. My favourites would probably be Mexican food cause it results in a ton of leftovers and Italian because you can experiment a lot with sauces. I like to cook Japanese food on occasion but it’s quite hard to stock up on cupboard staples like mirin, sake, dashi and proper soy sauce without spending too much.

@Kidfried We had a similar situation with the fantasy football. At least that’s only members though, I didn’t think about lurkers on the forum.
