ddickinson: Wimp, you should have tried them. That way you could have told us how they taste. :-)

I guess they must taste nice, otherwise why would the locals eat them. I can't see them as something I would want to eat, but to each their own, and I am sure they are good in their own way.

I have not played Black Mirror yet, it is part of my ever present backlog. It does look like a nice game, and I look forward to playing it someday.
Argh.
Alright, Next time anywhere I see a spider or a scorpion sold as food, I'll try it/them :)

Black Mirror is a very pleasant and welcome game for me at least: puzzle-wise it exists on the spectrum on the opposite side from Deponia. Haven't got stuck once in the few hours I've played so far. And there is a lovely atmosphere in every screen. Seems to be one of those games that offer heavily in the way of story and atmosphere and not so much in the way of hardcore puzzle-solving.

Morning all, apparently Rigley (my dog) thinks getting up before the sun is cool. It was fun watching it rise, even though I'm quite sleepy. ;-)
Hope everyone is fine today or on their way to it.
*hugs, waves, coffee and yawns*

I have seen in America that you can get them in tins, pre-cooked and dried, ready to eat. I guess they can be bought online here as well, which is not surprising, they sell everything online these days. :-)

I do not mind games heavy in story and lacking in puzzles, JULIA was like that and I still enjoyed that game. As long as the story is interesting and it doesn't feel like an interactive movie to me, then I don't mind them. I will have to see about playing it someday, since I think I own them all anyway.

I will pass on the coffee, but that just means more for the coffee drinkers. :-)

Watching the sunrise is lovely, I do it all the time. Maybe your owner just wanted to share that special moment with you. You should be thankful, not every pet gets to do that. :-)

How are you today, other than feeling sleepy still?

A bit early to tell but I seem to be alive and well. ;) I envy you for your rain, we need a bit. Decent day for you so far?

I am sorry you have no rain. Hmmm, I asked Mr Sun to visit the content, and if I ask Mrs Rain to come see you, what weather would that leave me with? o_O

My day has been okay, thank you.

How do you like the new releases, and the weekend sale?

Sorry your day was only 'okay' but that's many steps above horrible I guess.
Grabbed Origins right away, little interest in the other 2 new ones.
Weekend sale is the same one we've had many times before, no interest there. I spent my money on an ounce of Cucumber seeds since I'm having a huge problem with 'viral wilt' again this year. The ones I purchased are supposed to be the only variety resistant to this.
*big hug*

Well, if you promise not to tell Owl, but that okay covered a lot worse, but I try to be positive so I say okay rather than bloody horrible. :-)

I liked the sound of Origins, but I was not fully sure I would like the gameplay. I still have not played many RPGs, and I have many still to try, so I figured I would pass. Dead Space looks interesting, but it has the 50%+ GOG tax added on for me when compared to Steam. And I have never been a big fan of Sim City.

We got a new space game as well I think....

Sorry to hear you are having some problems with your cucumbers, wilt and other plant diseases can can be terrible. I hope your new seeds turn out to be tough and that they will turn out as you hoped.

Cool! Thanks for the idea. Already found an online shop after googling, they seem to ship to Finland too. Might have to order a scorpion or two, then :) The shop claims that there is only one variety of scorpions that is edible...

Keep forgetting there are people who don't drink coffee :P

I understand, I do the OK thing quite often myself. Infinium is interesting but I already have so many space shooter sims that I don't need another. ;)
The wilt has been an issue for several years and yet we've never had Squash Bugs which are the carriers of the disease. Very odd in that it attacks otherwise very large vigorous plants.
Here is the variety I purchased:

I never knew that there was only one kind of scorpion that was edible. I figured if you cut the stinger off they might all be okay to eat. But then again it is not something I have ever looked into. :-)

Thank you for the tea. :-)

The good old okay replay is very handy for not making people worry. :-)

Have you been getting any uncommon weather patterns lately that could cause the bugs to migrate?
Those look like lovely cucumbers. I was going to make a joke about size not mattering, but I am too tired for all that. :-)

*big thank you hug*
Good afternoon everyone *big hugs and waves*
I see we have the usual weekend promo again :|

Feeling a bit like Alec Leamas - I came in from the cold ^^

Hope you're all doing at least ok :)

Yes it is handy.
The weather in the midwest US is always 'unusual', this year has the months all mixed up again.
*thanks for not making the old worn out joke hug* :-)

So, you are a gardener and/or farmer as well as a teacher? Those are awesome occupations :)
Hope your weekend doesn't look too busy!

Doing OK here, hope you are too. Looks like we'll get some cooler 23-24C weather today, could you send me a little rain though?
