lupin_bebop Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 5 reasons my roommate is about to catch hands: I cooked steak, and they complained about char…..from a charcoal grill. Then continued to eat $30 worth of steak, and had the audacity to ask for more. Ate my food. Literally ate it in front of me, knew I saw them do it, and tried to act like they didn’t then, tried to gaslight me, saying they bought that food they didn’t I’m the only one who buys food you don’t have to heat up in the microwave (or that you have to actually cook). Went $6K+ into debt buying a PS5, Xbox Series X, and new TV instead of a new water heater, roof, and landscaping for the house….that THEY own. I ADHD Brained for a second and accidentally left my laundry basket on the washer on day….and they barred me from using the washer, drier, and grill….because they were upset I washed dishes instead of moving my laundry basket. They came home to me cleaning the house and kitchen on day…..and yelled at me like I had a tail. Took their work bullshit out on me. I IMMEDIATELY got them back by paying their rent in $1 bills, nickels, dimes, and pennies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Castlevania IV's soundtrack actually had a profound impact on me as a musician. I was revisiting the game one day in my adulthood and once that gate closed down and those ominous organ notes played, I wanted to get a pipe organ sound out of my guitar. That led me to eventually discovering the Roland GR-33 Guitar Synthesizer. I used it for organ sounds and other sounds like harp, sitar, tambura, bells, etc in my original metal songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insipid Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Five main tastes ranked in descending order: Umami - Savoriness makes everything better. MSG is love MSG is life. Salty - Also makes things taste better, most of the time. Sweet - Can easily be overdone and doesn't match many foods. Bitter - Normally associated with acquired tastes. Sour - Usually disgusting by itself, but good in certain combinations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
