Okay, I just learned something interesting while surfing YouTube. Turns out that there is a glitch in Monster Rancher 2 DX. This glitch has a very interesting effect. If your monster goes on expeditions, you'll only lose about a week of lifespan despite the fact that your monster is on a month-long expedition. Normally you'd lose the 4 weeks that your out on the expedition plus another week due to fatigue, but this glitch only registers the lost week from fatigue. As a result, if you go on as many expeditions as possible your monster can effectively double its lifespan. Now I'm starting to understand why Mero lasted as long a she did, longer than she was supposed to, as she went on several expeditions, but only lost a week's worth of lifespan on each because of the glitch. Don't tell TECMO this, as they'll patch it, but it's a very interesting discovery and exploit if anyone is playing Monster Rancher 2 DX.

Not sure why I'm posting this (probably because I'm bored) but after many years of forgetting about it I made my old chili recipe for the first time. I made it mostly for mom as a treat of sorts for getting through all her physical therapy post-surgery, as she looooooves chili. However, I had to make some adjustments to it.

First off, the original barbeque sauce I used has long since been discontinued (A&W Root Beer Barbeque Sauce), so I had to experiment with a different brand, in this case Heinz Sweet and Smokey Kansas Style Barbeque Sauce. I gave it a taste test prior to using it and it's pretty good so I felt it was a good substitute. Also, because dad is on a special diet he can't have onions so I had to omit them. And finally, normally I use beef or bison (bison is my preferred choice for my chili due to it being so healthy but it's not the easiest to find) but since I had to make a large batch (effectively double the recipe), I used both bison and ground wagyu (I have a special monthly ordering system where I order certain foods, such as organic, grass-fed, wild-caught, and all that other fun stuff, and have it delivered, for a good price I might add, and their service has quite a few rare treats that I can't find around here, including wagyu, swordfish, lobster, bison, duck, wild boar, and so on).

The combo, I will say, tastes great, so while it's not my original version it'll do nicely. As a result I spent most of today either cooking or gathering up the needed ingredients. Hopefully mom will like it, as she really needs a nice treat after all the physical therapy and getting over her Covid over the past month.

sigh Dammit... I now have to go buy a new window unit AC, as my old one is no longer producing cold air. I've had it since I moved into my apartment (roughly six years, give or take). I've already snooped out one at a Lowe's (where I got this one) for a decent price, as, according to a hardware store, getting it repaired would cost pretty much the same as getting a new one, so I'm better off getting a new one and starting fresh. It's annoying that things built these days don't last as long as they used to anymore (unlike my 2002 Honda Civic LX, the car just turned 20 this year and somehow it hasn't died yet... it's had a few close calls, and it's taken more than its fair share of beatings, but it's still standing and running, much to my amazement). But I'll be going down with dad tomorrow after he's done with work to find this new AC, as I've confirmed it's in stock at my semi-local Lowe's. This is gonna be annoying as hell but since it got pretty hot today (and I hate heat) it has to be done if I don't want to melt before summer, much less during summer.

Well, I just learned that my mom has Covid. And this is on top of her recovery from hip replacement surgery. She feels she got it from either the hospitals she's been in or dad bringing it home from school. Either way this puts a new wrinkle on things for us. Makes me worried I might have it as I've been around her, helping her through her recovery, though I don't feel any symptoms right now. Of all the timing... as if mom didn't have enough problems already. I hope it'll pass quickly.

Quick question: What kinda fanfiction do you read?

Happy Birthday!

thanks for the follow. I didn't respond right away because I was doing something else. but thank you!

Hey your profile says "Scorbunny fan " and I kinda wanted that sign on my profile. how did u get it?

what did you feel was so bad about SM, if you don't mind me asking? Ash's design was pretty meh, but his character and the saga itself improved as it went on with some nice development for the cast and their pokemon.

I have your Pokemon ready, but in case of Spritzee, do you need it evolved? I realized I don't have the item required to evolve it. Is that still okay with you?

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to ya! I hope it's a really good day!

Thank you so much for the trade offer! I need everything but the Blitzle as I already got it.
