Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy XI is the eleventh numbered installment in the… Okay, you know what it is, I’m just going to tell you about one of the storylines!
During the Wings of the Goddess expansion, adventurers will be sent back in time to experience the events of the Crystal War, a cataclysmic event that is the foundation for conflicts of the modern-day timeline. Should an adventurer choose to serve the Kingdom of San d’Oria, they will be immersed in the story of the Young Griffons—a group of children who would see themselves knights, many of whom grow into prominent characters later in life.
Among the Young Griffons, the player will find Bistillot, a shy boy who doesn’t like to be seen. With his penchant for engineering, shy demeanor, and lack of combat potential, Bistillot prefers to spend his time inside of an orcish war machine that he was able to repair to working condition.
He is often seen before he is heard, with his signature phrase, “HAAAALLOOOOOOOOO” being used to hail the adventurer. Through the course of the story, Bistillot finds his way, even contributing to the war effort with his engineering skills.
However, when another member of the Young Griffons is kidnapped and taken to the present day, the adventurer must return to the present day and reunite with the Young Griffons’ present selves! The adventurer’s first contact in the present day is Bistillot. When the adventurer hears the signature “HAAAALLOOOOOOO,” Bistillot approaches the player, but what the player sees is… a woman?? She introduces herself as Bostilette, a “friend of Bistillot.”
After the rescue mission, Bostilette comes clean. She is, of course, the very same Bistillot who was a little boy twenty years earlier. She explains that she was very sick as a baby, so her parents gave her a boy’s name so that she would be stronger and survive the illness. Once she overcame the illness, she was comfortable to reclaim her name and gender. Well, that closes the book on that story, except… I’ve decided that’s bullshit!
I have unilaterally decided that Bostilette is trans, the sickness she had was dysphoria, she stayed in the orcish war machine because she was an egg, and I hope you all agree!

autism yapping
Running out of instant ramen leads me to reflect that they jacked the prices on all the instant stuff with low prep/cook requirements. I used to buy those Sidekicks-style pasta things, you're supposed to use them as part of like fettucine alfredo and stuff, but I would just eat them, autism. Microwaveable even. Used to be four for five bucks, now it's three for seven. Actual crime.
So this is probably why everything food related feels like a crushing depressing weight lately. Everything has to be cooked from fresh ingredients and then has three days in the fridge. It's exhausting I think, when I'm low on spoons I just wanna put something in the oven or microwave Idk. Putting soya sauce in the stir fry made me want those fucking instant teriyaki things again.
So screech, I hate everything, reee etc

I’m lucky I don’t make all my food because all I feel like eating of my own will is peanut butter and I’d eat more and I already can’t feel my stomach. Last week there were a couple days where I had over 1k calories from it. I wonder how expensive that is relatively.
For true peanut maxxing you gotta get into rehydrated defatted peanut powder. Although without the oil it's kind of only good as an ingredient, so you still need to cook. Hmm...
Perhaps I should try it…
So far it's been good in peanut sauce noodles & overnight oats although I usually use a bit of regular peanut butter as well. It is NOT good just rehydrated and spread on toast. Terrible actually.

These things?
Yes, those things. USD I assume? Up here in
I can barely find em for less than like $2.50 a pack which suuuuuuuuuucks
Yep, USD. They've went up in price a bit here, I used to be able to get them for like 99 cents or a little over a dollar but they're still pretty affordable so they're still one of my gotos. They're actually cheaper than those instant ramen things you mentioned and the generic cup noodle right now which I also stopped buying, lol.
Currency conversion is a joke by the way
death to amerikkka
They used to be cheaper than most ramen here too...
If you want something quick and simple to make, not sure about prices up there in
, but here I can get a fairly large bag of pasta and a jar of alfredo sauce for a couple of bucks, makes enough to last a couple of days (at least for me, need to work on eating more, bleh) and is fairly tasty.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm that's probably a good idea tbh...
