Mario Kart Tour released on iOS today.
I'm coming in 1st every time despite the controls feeling really weird and feeling like I'm really terrible. I'm awesome at Mario Kart on platform but I feel like I'm terrible at it on mobile.
...either I really am that good or everyone else playing is just that bad. I should not be winning. (But I'm glad I am because I am hella competitive in racing games.)
ETA: I unlocked the ranked play. Add me! 4627 9523 0045
Unless you're a doctor, you should never be using 'pronate' and similar in your writing. It's jenky as all heck.
Repeat after me: purple prose is bad.
If I have to sit and spend five minutes just puzzling out what the fuck your character is doing, it is not good writing.
(I was messaging @Livia about my goal to get all skellingtons last night. 
It's spoopy season y'all.)

As for the KFC dating sim, I did nab that and will be playing it for a couple hours during my 12 hour stream on Friday.
I am just minutes in and already laughing so hard I had a coughing fit
@Roz my baby brother was sending me videos of that today. XD he wants me to buy it.
But FOR NOW.
i got a colonel to romance

@Auspice I don’t have allergies so Peak Week for me is either that stretch between late October to early November or in the spring when the weather shifts from cold to warmer. My lungs hate the weather change.
I guess my asthma just isn't triggered by allergies because I have those same exact windows as you. Warm to cold or cold to warm.
@Macha said in RL things I love:
I only just found out about peak week too. I'm not an asthma sufferer (by some small miracle), but my allergies are killing me. My voice is shot. I sound like that one kid in the Brady episode with his voice cracking.
moving the discussion here because I feel weird having it in the RL Things I Love thread:
My allergies have been bad this year. Texas is, so far, the worst for me re: ragweed and the like. I've never had allergies as bad as I do here. Benadryl and the like has become my friend.
@Selira said in RL things I love:
@mietze Peak week is a terrifying time for a lot of people. I'm so glad you have things that can help you at home now, and I am so scared of my own asthma flaring back up someday in the future. I can't even imagine the relief of not having to make a trip to the hospital while being unable to really breathe.
I had to google this term. As an asthma-sufferer, I'd never heard of it before!
But then, it's that shift into cold, wet wintery weather that always gets me. Usually late October to early November I'll find myself going through a ton of inhalers.
I'm on singulair now (my doctor's attempt to help my seasonal and illness-triggered asthma), so my fingers are crossed it won't happen this year.
@Sunny said in The Work Thread:
Office365's web interface now lets you 'like' emails and things. I made the mistake of ranting about this (having likes in a professional environment) to my coworkers...
Yeah. My boss 'likes' every email I send her now.
ETA: I need to clarify. It is all in good fun.
iOS lets you 'like' text messages.
My recruiter does it (she's a very bubbly, perky girl in her mid-20s so it's fitting I guess!) and it throws me off every time.
Sometimes I manage to forget that my father is a climate change denier and then he ends up reminding me and I get annoyed all over again.
