I just get too excited.
Spoiler tag just to be safe.
Wild Prepotente realization
Edit: I should have said “mild realization.” Sorry, folks. Spoiler tag for book 8 due to the final audiobook skit, but the action happens much earlier.
I was thinking about Pony’s song lyrics in the audiobook skit, specifically this one:
“She had blood on her chin,
I saw how you sinned.
You live on dumb luck and lies.”
I was thinking, “How did Carl sin against Miriam?” But the Size Up potions he yoinked came to mind and I remembered he thought he was out of Pony’s scope of vision. THEN I REMEMBERED THAT GOATS HAVE CRAZY VISION. The photo is from a sanctuary and it explains how goats can see within the blue area in their separate eyes and the green is where their sight overlaps. They have very small blind spots. Carl thought he was avoiding human eyesight, but Pony can see so much wider than humans can.
Prepotente is so effective partially *because* his eye placement allows for significantly higher scope! Or at least, that’s what I’d expect from a goat-like humanoid.
Sorry, this isn’t wild news, but I felt it deserved a share. The fact that Matt Dinniman specifically mentioned that Carl thought he was out of his eyeline feels like a nod to this, but it is possible he’s an unintentional genius. I like to think it’s the former, but either are pretty cool.
Listening to the soundtrack 🥲
I have part time work in a service bar, usually with headphones in, since I don’t have a lot of customer interactions. Tonight, I forgot my headphones, so I put the Undertale soundtrack on my speaker.
Bonetrousle, Megalovania, Unnecessary Tension.. it was all lovely. And then Hopes and Dreams came on and a little tear came to my eye.
Do you listen to the soundtrack separately from the game? What are your favorite Fox tracks?
I made biscuits from scratch!
I’ve always liked to make veggie soup and mash it when it gets a bit old and add a packet of gravy for weekend biscuits. I’ve always just used Winco baking mix, but I followed a recipe this morning that worked super well. I’ve never had layers like this and I just followed the instructions. I can’t wait for more homemade biscuits!!
2 c. all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 *teaspoon* of salt
6 tablespoons butter (pop in freezer before beginning)
3/4 cup milk (whole milk preferred)
Mix all dry ingredients well and preheat oven to 425f. Set out a cookie sheet with parchment paper lining.
Use a box grater to grate the butter (like cheese). Mix the butter with the dry mix until it looks crumbly. Add milk and mix dough with wooden spoon or spatula.
If it’s too watery, add a little more flour to make it easily able to handle. Place on a surface with a little flour sprinkled on to keep dough moving easily. Fold it, flatten it with your palms, and fold it again until you have 5-6 folds.
You don’t want to overwork the dough. Trust that the butter will fix any dry parts. Cut the dough in circles (I used a 1/2 cup measuring cup), and either rework the extra dough or make biscuit bites (like I did).
Bake at 425f for 10-12 mins or until the tops brown.
If videos are easier for you, it was the recipe by Sugar Spun Run that I followed.
It’s all I can see now 😭
If Sam Reich had his own world with unlimited power, who knows what he might do? He’s been here the whole time!
I can’t unsee it now
If Sam Reich had his own world with unlimited power, who knows what he might do?
>! It’s hot as balls where I am. I am sweating like a beast regardless of the open windows and the fans (plural).
I still got chills when Carl met Milk. I’m not crying, you’re crying. We’re all crying. Gods damn you, Matt. !<
