    For real, Fuck Gamestop.
    Use Steam.
    Steam is giving away Tomb Raider 2013 and Lara Croft the Temple of Osiris for free currently along with a ton of other really small free games.

    GOG has a bunch of free games as well. https://www.gog.com/partner/stay_at_home

    Gamestop is trash and treats their employees like trash. Fuck Gamestop.

    This is the best peanut butter cookie recipe. They're so moist and yummy. I hate dry peanut butter cookies. :-\

    Since we're sharing recipes, here's my new favorite chocolate chip recipe. I only had baking powder, so I had to go hunting for a recipe that called for it:
    https://natashaskitchen.com/soft-chocolate-chip-cookies-recipe/

    I also substituted almond extract for the vanilla, and it turned out better than I expected. :)

    gamestop's probably closing all their doors after this. for good I mean. they've been dying for a while. this'll probably be their dagger. Their refusing to comply with what's morally right was their last ditch effort IMO.

    Also I have no idea what I'm talking about.

    Thanks!

    Also, found this gem while reading through reviews for Sang-Froid

    Never before has a video game ever so thoroughly exemplified the majestic importance of being a Canadian, getting drunk, and fighting wolves with an axe.

    You know what are good and I haven't eaten in a very long time?

    Butterscotch cookies with the butterscotch chips.

    I should procure butterscotch chips somehow sometime. not anytime soon. soon though. but not anytime soon.

    Know what else is good? Cookie butter buckeyes. You use cookie butter instead of peanut butter. (Though I love them with peanut butter too!)

    Being that my expectations of people are generally low I don't reach out a lot for help and whatnot. Today I received not 1 but 2 calls from people that I don't know very well at all. Because I'm going a little crazy in self-isolation, even though I always said I'd rather never leave the house, I answered both calls.

    One woman wondered how I was getting on since I couldn't shop or anything. She had a big container for chili for me and when I explained my Tylenol shipment was on a 3 week backorder she brought me her stash. The chili was excellent and cheered me up considerably. The second woman asked if I needed any money since I'm not getting paid. I told her I have my "online work" money so I won't starve and the rent will just have to wait until we find out what's going on. I was so touched by an almost complete stranger offering me money. I would never take it but so kind to offer.

    These nice people are ruining my life's guiding mission that people mostly suck.
