Fishin' in the stream of consciousness (all-purpose, no topic chat thread)

In my professional opinion as a fellow white woman who HAS had a pumpkin spice latte…they’re okay but overrated. The superior seasonal Starbucks drink is the salted caramel latte (edit: mocha, not latte) and it’s not even close.

 

I wish they would bring back salted caramel mochas ;-;

 

I like pretty much any coffee (not containing dairy, but dairy substitutes are fine), but my go to in college was to order a double shot of espresso at the one campus shop on the way to history class, like clockwork. Nothing added, just the shots in a small cup. I'd literally toss them back in one swig, wishing they'd allow more than two shots at a time

I became extremely caffeine sensitive over the years til now, when a normal Starbucks coffee that's more fluff than actual coffee content will have me barely sleeping for two days -_-

 

I don't like coffee but I have an infinite sweet tooth so I will swear by a chai tea latte with pumpkin spice sauce. a local non-chain shop had a pumpkin spice chai frappe as a fall seasonal special and it was heaveeennn, fluffy cold overly sweet heaven

 

Coffee anything is overrated imo.

Except for coffee flavoured cake, and that's only because there's a ton of butter and sugar in :P

 

Coffee ice cream my beloved

 

That was the one I meant—I miss them so much!!

 

My handheld nintendo switch came! Any game recommendations?

 

Breath of the wild! It's still pretty pricey but God is it fun. No need of knowing any other Zelda game plot, and I may be biased but I consider it right up there with Skyrim as far as open world games go. Gameplay itself is very easy to pick up.

There's also this beautiful game called Ori if you like side scrollers, I haven't played too much but I'm assured the story is very well written and it has fun mechanics.

If you've ever played Spyro as a kid, they have a collection of the first three games completely remastered! It's really fun and that's not even coming through a nostalgia filter (not much, anyways)

 

I have played Ori And the Blind Forest and can confirm it's incredibly fun and not really a sidescroller imo as much as a general platformer?

 

Oh ok, I think I just used the wrong term

 

God no harm no foul! like, the terms are so weird so like. It happens!

 

I really enjoyed Pokemon Sword/Shield, but I’m also a known Pokemon stan, so ymmv.

Animal Crossing is very cute and enjoyable.

I haven’t played Untitled Goose Game yet because I’m a massive procrastinator, but I hear it’s a good time, and it’s fairly cheap for a Switch game.

 

Learned today there are apples that are so dark purple they look black.

 

GOTH APPLES??

 

Also: Cold brew gelato with cocoa nibs

 

This sounds like ambrosia and I want it.

 

Walking slowly everywhere in pokemon so my little bee friend can keep up.

 

Should it be pronounced "el-em-ay-oh" or "el-mao" (as in Chairman)?
