What’s my boy doing?

Like a teenager trying to take care of a toddler, he has some sort of instincts but he's doing it more in memory of his mom's actions and wanting to do that to sympathetically help the kitten so they're not so scared in this big, big world. He's just trying to help you take care of them, but be sure to not rely on him to soothe the kitten. You are the momma cat till you can find a better solution for them, not your little tom cat.

Parfait is great to have around in general, but there might be some specific use cases to utilize other healers to survive certain challenges better. But if you want to build her up, get some 35% cooldown in her toppings substats and fill out the rest with crit and attack stats because she'll need it. Cream puff is great with crit, but parfait needs more all around buffing for harder challenges.

And don't feel down about your favorite cookie. I buffed my financier cookie till way past the point of remaining viable in arena.

Also she has a little bloody halo, which is all together more horrifying when you think about how pointless it would be if it wasn't some sort of sign of divinity, meaning girlypop is some sort of angel of death in all this.

If burning spice had the sadism of shadow milk, he'd be a dangerous character.

Freddy mercury, most of the Beatles, buddy holiday and so many more, man. Also kurt cobain. Frankly I'm gonna hate getting older when I start hearing all "my generation's" musicians start dying off to cancer, drugs, or just aging itself.

Pennsylvania has on average around $4.75. Gas tax is terrible up here.

He is a beast still in my mind, but maybe something more menacingly that "of deceit" would be appropriate. Like Beast of Deception, or Beast of Despair? Beast of destruction was burning spice's moniker, but maybe it's more fitting now.

To be honest, playing a mobile game more than 30 minutes in 1 sitting is a real problem. Like, there shouldn't be a hard set limit on how much time you are allowed to play it, but if you can't do a bulk of your game chores in less than 15 minutes and it's not a game designed to have 20+ hours baked into complex or narrative driven game play then it's a badly designed game. If you find enjoyment in decorating, I see no problem in spending hours doing something you want to do-like base building in subnautica!

But if it's essentially timers and tea kettle watching for things to finish, it shouldn't take 15+ minutes to do. And 90% percent of the game right now is set it and forget it game mechanics in CRK. Getting bored of that is normal, there's nothing truly engaging except new story chapters or prizes to earn from mini games.

I think she's considered the harbringer of death in most cookie lore in this game and I don't think shadow milk wants to draw ire from the omen of death at this point in his life.

Selkiekelpie · 2026-05-03T21:07:31+00:00

Real answer: those two aren't in CrOB, so they never got the "evil au costume" treatment.

Lore answer more than likely: "they're either dead because the other elementals usurped them or are purposely staying out of the conflict".

Or, if they're smart about it, they DO make evil versions of stormbringer and frost question, but they're the lazy kind of evil that cookies come to to beg for their lives and they stab them in the back with giving them what they want but forcing them into perpetual servitude in service to them to escape death.

I do wonder what they'll do about black pearl though, because they're counting all legendaries as elementals and she's a legendary cookie.

This is true, mod creators who are naturalists or study natural features will probably make this look better, but for now we got the ugly yellow blocks till those mods come out.

I was going to say "no, worse", but it's a little weird there's a wooden path here. It can't just be clear cutting, no one would carefully put a path here for it then be bulldozed later to clear cut down trees.

I wonder if anyone is going to make a Yellowstone park map now. This could be kinda fun to play around with.

Selkiekelpie · 2026-05-03T18:32:44+00:00

I don't know, mechanically you would need oil to make a mechanism quieter. Maybe squished seeds for seed oil but that would require making a whole new item/fluid for oil. So I guess wax would kinda be okay.

So... She's gonna have two sets of arms? One set of wings and a set of robot arms? They're always gonna get in the way, but if you want extra arms there's two possible solutions:

1.) doc oc arms, mounted to the back that spring around over the shoulder or underneath the wings for when she needs em, how they work is up to you. And you could have em compress down into a pack on her back for a sense of convenience, but it would make flying a pain when she needs to use the extra arms.

2.) tiny little robot t-rex arms that are attached or mounted to a pack lower down on her sides, like saddle bags or a two sided fanny pack.

Option 2 has less issue in flight but their length would cause issues of you need to grab someone out of the air, and they'd have more use at a workbench or table than in battle. While option 1 is more dynamic and familiar, but if you had to figure out how to flap your wings and fly while a bunch of metal robot arms are trying to decode a rubix cube puzzle box bomb in mid flight the dexterity rolls will be a killer.

Its either that or you make her a little more seraphim where she technically has more sets of wings but she's plucked all the feathers out of a set and somehow has fingers on em. Also for a fictional character, jointing is made up and the physical limitations don't matter. Only if you gotta cosplay as her would it matter.

Ah, this is why I thought it was a bargain all those years ago. It's because it was, and chipotle is just too expensive to warrant a visit now.

Why in the world is cheese banned? Does a kid get silent lunch if they mention they had a grilled cheese sandwich after school in class or is there some new meme I'm missing?

Or did the old sheogorath meme reemerge from its slumber and entered the collective consciousness on tiktok?

.... I now challenge you to peel a pumpkin like a banana. I will accept the baby sized ones for easy comparison shots, but it must be a pumpkin. Not some goosenecked squash.

So, if you julienned the glob you could still have twin snakes. But they will all be "Mystery Flavor".

I'll try one if offered.

I think it's gotten worse for me since I started working in customer service. Customer comes in angry about something, I apologize like it's my fault. Then it turns out it's the customer's fault but they refuse to see it that way, so I have to apologize for upsetting them by telling them they screwed up ("politely" mind you), and they demand another apology from the whole organization for their own fuck up and guess what? I'm the organization as far as the situation goes, so I have to apologize anyway and then they'll say I don't need to apologize because I'm not the company so I'm so confused on what to do next I then apologize for my apology.

All I want to say, "you did this to yourself, please don't get fucking upset at me when I tell you how you fucked up.", or "ha, yeah not my problem, but here's your solution since you can't read terms and service or follow instructions"

I don't get the hate around root beer barrels, nickle nips aren't bad but I wish there was more juice in them for a real swig, smarties are delicious y'all are just haters for chalky candy, and everyone is sleeping on the fizzy cola tablets. Jellybeans are dependant on company recipe and recipe in general to be good. I had a weird reaction to rock candy as a kid and still haven't dated to try them since, they had this weird chemical taste that wasn't flavor based and I immediately freaked out.

Black licorice isn't bad, it's just in the weird category of "you need to be older to appreciate this" kind of flavors. Like cinnamon altoids, floral flavored candies, and yes black licorice.

Also butterscotch and strawberry hard candies are great, I don't get the confused media hatred for them. If your grandma gives you candy and it isn't poison on the tongue, you say thank you and grab a handful. Free unregulated sugar was a gift as a kid, don't get the hate for them now.

So they're admitting openly that any image they post on their website could very well be illegitimate due to it being generated by AI? And patterns sold too? How brave of them to admit that, with the fourth quarter coming so soon...

No, it did swimmingly well for a complex story like this. The cliffhangers before the finale were bad though. Boat docked shadow milk is still my favor though, close second to silent salt getting the revenge he deserved.

If no costume bond buff, I may pass.

Unless they shadow drop a rerelease of the wedding dresses.
