Need help about sending a package overseas, please help

Not sure where else to ask this since the official USPS reddit doesn't allow questions, but two months ago I sent a package of snacks and toys to my friends in Japan, and it hasn't been delivered yet. The last time I sent a package last year, it only took about two weeks max.

USPS Tracking says "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment" for two months, while the ParcelsApp says last month it was "Return to Sender," "Import Terminated" and "Dispatch from outward office of exchange" for over a month now. I have no idea where the package is.

Is there anything I can do? I just want my package to be delivered soon since it had snacks (nothing crazy, just chips so I assume it'll be fine for months) and birthday gifts, but I don't know if there's something I need to do, if it's just a wait-and-see situation, or if the package is just gone.

Need help knowing if laptop can run PSVR2, assume I don't know anything

Long story short, I'm a console gamer because I don't understand computers that well. I have an ASUS TUF Gaming F16 FX608JMR that I bought last year, and I don't know if it can use the PSVR 2 PC Adapter.

I think it has Thunderport Display, but I also see that one of the USB-C ports has a "DP" symbol on it, so it should work right? The reason I'm also asking is because I don't have the DisplayPort cable to test it. I didn't know they're sold separately... and now that I do know, I don't know which DisplayPort cable I'm supposed to buy (will any DisplayPort cable work, or do I need a specific one?).

Question about the Ironmouse and Burnt Peanut sprites backbling

1 - Can you use the Ironmouse Sprite in the backbling? I want to know if it's worth trying to get it in the first place.

2 - How do you get the Ironmouse Sprite? It it only available in the Sprite Chest?

3 - Does the Burnt Peanut sprite talk?

4 - If the Burnt Peanut sprite talks, can it be heard when you use it in the Sprite Guardian skin or backbling?

Do characters talk to each other in online races?

I was playing online and I hit someone playing as Vector while I was playing as Rogue, and they interacted with each other, but it only happened once. Is there a way to have that happen constantly throughout the match? I'm on PS5 if that matters.

Someone posted Aurora's voicelines, most voiced original survivor so far

According to this video, Aurora will have voicelines for: lobby, match start, healing, being healed, being hooked the first time, being hooked the second time, being unhooked, unhooking someone, missing a skill check, opening the gate, and opened the gate.

She will also have chase voicelines, but only exclusively against The Judgement.

While I wish she had some generic chase voicelines against other killers, I'm quite happy that BHVR stepped their game up for Aurora, especially compared to Tae-Young. I really hope this is at least the standard going forward (although I hope they still implement other things like giving Renato and Thalita co-op voicelines and stuff).

Is there a reason Summer Screams quests don't have Rift Fragments?

I know the Rift just came out, and I mostly just want the banners, but don't events usually have Rift Fragments as quest rewards? The quest screen honestly feels empty without Rift Fragments.

If I make art that's "acceptable" on Pixiv, what other sites can I post?

Being vague on purpose. I want to try to expand my range outside of Pixiv, but I legitimately don't know any other sites that allow that kind of stuff.

Krispy Kreme x Girl Scouts Thin Mints donuts

Krispy Kreme's teaming up with Girl Scouts to make a trio of new donuts inspired by the Girl Scout's popular snacks. Unfortunately, the Krispy Kreme near me didn't have all of the flavors, so I just grabbed the Thin Mints ones (which is also the only flavor featured in specifically marked packages sold in stores like Walmart).

So, I never had Girl Scout cookies before, so I can't comment on how similar they are to actual Thin Mints... but on their own, I liked these! Using Krispy Kreme's signature Original Glazed as a base, they basically pile on crushed Thin Mints, add dark chocolate chips, and drizzle a little of their mint flavored icing on top. This gives the donut a lot of different textures: the nice soft donut, the crumbly crushed up cookie toppings, the unmelted chunk of the chocolate chips, and the drizzle of icing, which gave each bite a little bite of everything.

Since there's already crushed Thin Mints on top, it may seem like adding dark chocolate chips and a drizzle of mint icing can seem redunant, like the crushed cookies themselves won't give the donut enough flavor... But the glazed donut actually did kind of drown out the Thin Mint cookie crumbs a bit, so the extra toppings actually did help. I will say that the mint icing is both a little lacking in both taste and volume though. I never had a Thin Mints before, so I'm not sure how "intense" the mint is supposed to be though.

Overall, I liked the Thin Mint donuts! While I was disappointed to not try the other flavors (remember, I actually went to a Krispy Kreme to buy donuts, the photo from the Walmart was just for the photo), I was pretty happy with these and would recommend it.

Fun piece of trivia: Dramaturgy was originally supposed to give you firecrackers instead of a random item

While I do think getting a random item with random add-ons is better, considering we don't have a way to get firecrackers anymore, I kind of wish they could've at least included firecrackers in the random item pool. I know that flashbangs are functionally the same... but I think firecrackers is, for a lack of a better word, flashier. And don't even get me started on how cool party starters are.

Also another piece of trivia: Plot Twist was also supposed to make you temporarily Broken when you self-revive before you heal to full health, like Second Wind.

It turns out Hinako does not have any voicelines

Very disappointed that she doesn't speak

Hinako being a Legendary skin means we won't have another survivor with a pink bunny outfit

Just saying, probably would've sold well

Shimizu Hinako may have her English voice actor, as Suzie Yeung was added to the credits

Blindlight is the company BHVR uses for voice recording. Notice how Dallas Goldtooth (who voices Shane Wiigwaas) was added to the credits, which means it was recently updated.

Suzie Yeung, to my knowledge, doesn't currently voice anyone in the game, which means it's likely that she will reprise her role as Hinako from the English dub of Silent Hill f. Her other roles include Makima from Chainsaw Man, Susan Storm from Marvel Rivals, and Hope from Fortnite.

Also interesting is that Matthew Yang King was also added to the credits. Matthew Yang King was the one rumored to voice Glenn Rhee instead of Steven Yeun.

It should be noted that this isn't a complete list of voice actors. Noticably, Bruce Campbell (Ash Williams) and the Stranger Things cast (such as Harley Yeager as Henry Creel) aren't here. Natsuki Hanae (Ken Kaneki) and Kana Hanazawa (Rize Kawashiro) are also not on this list.

Remember that IMDB rumor that Matthew Yang King was listed as voicing Glenn Rhee? Well, he's in the official credits now.

Not saying this means anything, as I doubt this is the entire list (Bruce Campbell and Cailey Spaeny are noticably absent)... but as far as I know, Matthew Yang King doesn't voice anyone.

Pop-Tarts Super Stuffed Molten Lava Cake and Cinnamon Caramel

I'm not going to lie, I've been eating Super Stuffed Pop-Tarts ever since I tried the Strawberry ones when they first dropped. In case you missed it, Pop-Tarts Super Stuffed are basically versions of Pop-Tarts that have 50% more filling... but they only come with five pastries per package and not eight. Personally, as someone who only eats one at a time, I was fine with it because I'd rather have each Pop-Tart be much more... well, filling, but I understand that paying more for less food is not going to sit well with most of you.

Anyway, now that I had a chance to snag the other two flavors, let's talk about them. Before we begin though, I want to mention that I ate these Pop-Tarts the way I usually eat my Pop-Tarts: chilled in the freezer for a few hours, then eaten immediately, in case that changes anything.

Let's start with the Chocolate Molten Lava Cake ones. If you like chocolate, this is definitely a must try. The extra filling really gives it that molten lava cake feel because, when I bit into this, it was like eating a spoonful of fudge. Since I ate these chilled, the filling did feel a little thick, so hopefully toasting these would make the filling thin and hot (unfortunately, I do not own a toaster so I can't try it). The frosting on top also had a very thin crisp to it, like it snaps a bit when I bit into it, and it helped compliment the fudgy filling and the crust by adding a third texture. My only complaint is that maybe it's a little too much chocolate, since the filling, frosting, and crust are all chocolate flavored, so it feels one note.

The other flavor, Cinnamon Caramel, was also pretty good! The filling is almost as dense like the Molten Lava Cake flavor so they do have a similar consistency, so it's like eating a spoonful of thick caramel... although I think this filling is a little thinner, so it didn't make me reach out for a glass of milk or anything. The cinnamon really helped flavor the caramel filling by giving it a spice, and combined with the vanilla frosting and the cinnamon crust (which kinda reminds me of graham crackers for some reason), helped prevent this from feeling too one note. If you like caramel and cinnamon, I'd recommend this too!

So overall, if you're down with these Super Stuffed Pop-Tarts, then you're probably going to love the other two flavors. I personally prefer the fruity flavors like Strawberry, which oddly enough was more stuffed than the other two... but the Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes flavor and the Cinnamon Caramel flavors were also good and worth trying.

Taco Bell's Fajita Street Chalupas, Enchirito, Cinnamon Sugar Churros

Taco Bell's bringing back some old favorites, so I had to stop by and order them.

First, let's talk about the Fajita Street Chalupas. One order of these comes with two tacos, and each taco comes with either steak or chicken, jalapeno sauce, fajita vegetables like peppers and onions... all nested up in not one, but two chalupa shells. Honestly, I thought they were pretty good. The chalupa shells were nice and soft, kind of fluffy, and having two of them gives the taco a more solid foundation. The steak pieces and vegetables were pretty tender, and the jalapeno sauce gives it a little kick.

What I didn't really enjoy was the price. It costs about $6 for one order, and while you do get two tacos, they're pretty small. They are included with the Discovery Luxe Box (which is $9.99 at my store), but since that only comes with the Fajita Street Chalupas, a Cheesy Bean and Rice burrito, Cinnamon Twists, and a drink, it makes it feel like it's not worth the value. At last throw in another crunchy taco like before.

Next up, let's talk about the Enchirito. The Enchirito is basically a beef, bean, onions, and cheese burrito that's smothered in even more cheese, and red sauce. The red sauce is the same red sauce that's in things like the bean burrito, just a lot more of it. I saw online how some Taco Bells have been making great Enchiritos, while others have some really half-assed ones... well, I'd say my Taco Bell falls into the middle of the pack.

On one hand, I got a pretty alright size! It feels packed, and it's about the size of their other burritos! There was enough beef and beans in it that it didn't seem like mostly tortillas or onions. On the other, what's this kiddie pool amount of sauce they gave me? I should've expected them to be a little stingy with the sauce since they gave me half a sauce cup for the dipping tacos last month, but I really wanted this to be drenched or drowned in red sauce. I ended up just drowning it in mild sauce instead.

Last but least, we got the Cinnamon Sugar Churros back. There's not much to say other than, if you had the churros before, you know what to expect. Taco Bell's churros tend to be on the softer side so I still enjoyed them, but I got absolutely shorted on that cinnamon sugar. One side is dusted with it, while the other side looks pale and pathetic. Like me.

So all in all, I did enjoy the Fajita Street Chalupas a lot, and I'd recommend trying it even if they don't feel worth the price. The Enchirito might be a little hit or miss, since it's heavily dependent on how much they stuff that burrito, and how much red sauce they pour on top of it.... when I'm pretty sure the only consistent thing will be the price. The Cinnamon Sugar Churros is also dependent on the store, but I do find that typically Taco Bell churros are good, even if this batch wasn't.

Out of all the characters to be in both Dead by Daylight and Call of Duty, I didn't expect Nicolas Cage to be one of them

I actually play a lot of Call of Duty, and they got a lot of the same horror collaborations as Dead by Daylight. They had Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Art the Clown, Ash Williams, Ghostface, Billy the Puppet from Saw, a Texas Chainsaw Massacre bundle, and even the Armored Titan from Attack on Titan. I didn't expect Nicolas Cage to be added to the list.

Does Black Ops 7 operators have lots of voicelines in Warzone?

I really like Terry Crews and wanted his bundle, but I remember lots of Black Ops 6 characters don't have a lot of voicelines in Warzone as they're more focused on zombies. Is it the same for Black Ops 7 characters?

Wendy's Minions and Monsters meal

I haven't been to a Wendy's in a long time, but with the new Minions and Monsters Adult meal coming out, I had to come back to try it at least once.

The new Minions and Monsters meal comes with your choice of either the Big Bacon Classic or a Spicy Chicken sandwich, a medium order of fries, one of their new Banana Frosty Swirl (which comes in either vanilla or chocolate), and one of their new Minions toy. The Big Bacon Classic version of the meal costs like $12 at my local Wendy's, while the Spicy Chicken Sandwich one costs $12.50. If you just want the Banana Frosty Swirl by itself, it was like $3.

As someone who hasn't eaten in Wendy's in a while, I got to say, it feels like they fell off hard. I got the Big Bacon Classic burger, which was fine, but definitely a downgrade from just a couple of years ago. The meat didn't taste good, almost unseasoned, and the shredded lettuce didn't give it a crunch like the original lettuce did. I did feel like the vegetables and bun were kind of fresh though, but that's all I can say was good. The fries were also terrible, to the point that I didn't really finish them.

The new Banana Frosty Swirl is good at least, albeit not exactly anything special. It's literally just a regular Frosty (I got vanilla because I'm basic like that) but with a banana syrup added. It's not even mixed in or anything; it's like they just added the banana syrup in the cup, added the vanilla Frosty, and put a lid on it. That means I only tasted the banana syrup when I scrape it off the sides rather than the middle of the Frosty. But the banana syrup tasted like banana candy, so that was good.

The real reason I wanted this meal is for the toy. Now, it should be noted that the toys in this meal are not the same toy as the one in the kids meal. The ones in the kids meals are these cheap little figures based on the Minions from the movie, while the ones in the Adult meal is more of a collab between Minions and Wendy's. That means the ones in the Adult meal are either dressed as Wendy's mascot, dressed as a Frosty, dressed as an order of fries, etc. The quality is a lot like KFC's Supergirl figures, nice and weighty that doesn't feel like it'd break easily... but the design of the Minions is much cuter than the Supergirl figures, to the point that I actually want to collect the rest of the Minions.

Overall, if you want to try the Banana Frosty Swirl, I'd recommend it as long as you're okay with it just being a Frosty with a banana syrup added in. I'd also recommend getting the toy if you like Minions because they're actually pretty cute, and the idea of collabing with Wendy's is a neat unique theme (I really wanted the one dressed like Wendy)... but having to actually eat Wendy's doesn't entice me at all. I know every Wendy's is different, and some of you guys may have good ones, but I don't intend to go back to the one I went to.Well, until the next collab at least, because I'm a sucker for those.
