Wow, that was an entire tournament arc...

I guess this might maybe be sorta slightly bad if you have a static IP If you use personal email addresses for these sorts of sites, then here's your lesson to stop doing that. The info about email aliases is useful. also,

Gotta remember to buy some from my local Japanese food store once summer gets here.

She likes poison-types... that's rare. I should try running a poison-based party through one of the older games some day.

Lol god damn I still remember being ambushed by May while walking on that grassy bridge place. It's made worse because the previous gen gave you a rival you met and fought often so you got used to it... meanwhile May pops up out of frickin' nowhere.

The MP usage thing reminds me of the old days in Mabinogi... Spells had set cast times, but if you lived far from the servers, they'd take longer, of course. But your MP usage was calculated from the client side on a per-second basis, so if you took forever to cast something because of lag...

@Adventurersings It wasn't a cliffhanger ending, but I didn't like it very much. The rest of it was fine, though.

... Interesting.

I guess that's why there are thousands upon thousands of isekai stories out there... everyone wants their own.

Not even a roux??? May as well buy frozen dinners at this point. Everything's instant or canned. At least he didn't just fry it. Gotta start somewhere.

@The5thSeraph I think you were wondering about why Japanese guys treated rice as if it were something they were addicted to, and that's what I was trying to answer by bringing up amylase. Short grain types have more starch, which makes that effect more pronounced than in other carbs -- should...

@The5thSeraph FUCK ME that is my exact complaint. Burgers (ground meat in general, really) and rice just... don't go together. I've tried, it was bad. Something about the textures manages to make both components really gross.

@The5thSeraph So you'd understand why someone else would crave the staple carbohydrate they grew up eating and are used to, then, cliche though it may be. And I'm not sure why you thought I wouldn't know bread was also complex sugar...?

@The5thSeraph I think there was some sort of study done with mice or rats where they had a choice between sugar or cocaine. They would choose the sugar. Rice is more or less the same as sugar once it hits your saliva -- thank amylase for the near-instant conversion. If it looks like an...

Oh big surprise, he fried something... again.

>eggs >nutritionally complete Pfft. A kind description for eggs would be "energy-dense". They are not "nutritious" in any appreciable sense. Feel free to look up how egg producers are allowed to market them in any country with decent regulations.

Lots of Japanese people cook using pre-made ingredient packages. Curry, soup stock (dashi, etc.), and we see soy sauce variations here. It was a bit disappointing to learn about. @The5thSeraph There's no implication that he's going to go full on Dutch East India Company here, and start trading...

Yes, definitely throw out the excess fat that gets rendered out of the skin. I forgot to do that... once. Never again.

The browned starch that forms the webbing/wings is absolutely the worst part about gyoza, or any pan-fried dumpling. I fry mine without it even though that makes the dumplings much harder to lift -- but then I'm not cooking for a restaurant, which is why that technique exists in the first place...

That poor tree...
