"Happy birthday! What kind of cake do you like?"

i haven't really had much of a sweet tooth for a long time so i would probably celebrate with something savoury like a pizza or a big wheel of cheese

"favorite non-alcoholic beverage? bonus points for contextual details that make it even better. specific type of glass, time of day, frame of mind, et cetera"

i like to make instant coffee with sugar and cold milk. instant coffee with water, cold or boiling, has always been unpalatable for me. but with cold milk especially on a hot day? perfect quick caffeine beverage to me

"would you like a biscuit

"firstly happy birthday - secondly, do you enjoy video games loosely or strictly about golf, and what's your favorite one of those"

thank you! took me a while to reply to this ask because i was thinking about it and then i forgot about it. i haven't played a lot of golf games but i mostly like online multiplayer ones because they're really fun to play with my girlfriends who are all in different countries. vertiginous golf and golf with friends are two recent [...]

"What’s your favorite gaseous compound? For me, it’s that sweet ozone that comes off a fresh copy or laser print job!"

unironically there's something about the fumes from certain diesel engines that i really enjoy smelling. i don't know enough about diesel engines to know if it comes from a poor combustion or what so i'm not sure how to specify

@mavica_again making a note here for the wedding caterer...

@mavica_again i could make puff pastry rings or tiny pretzels and dip them in molten cheddar...

@Atatra @mavica_again molten cheddar

@Atatra no you gotta make the cheddar solid like icing

i'm sure there's no feasible way to do that without going with EXTREMELY chemical fake cheese

and that's what i want

@Atatra i want the solid layer of cheddar to crumble

@mavica_again @Atatra i know the EXACT texture you're describing with icing. when it air-dries for a day and the sugar verrrrry slightly re-crystalizes and there's a crumbly sort of tooth to it

@mavica_again making ANOTHER note for the wedding caterer...

@mavica_again happy birthday!

@sadmac356 ​

@mavica_again happy birthday!

@smellsofbikes ty 😊

@mavica_again Do you still want GBA/DS/DSi recommendations and do you also want 3DS ones?

@jake my 3ds is a continent away sadly i got a dsi just now and i found out you can finally play gba roms without needing a slot 2 flashcart

@mavica_again I didn't have a huge library of GBA games but I'd recommend:

• Metroid Fusion
• Dotstream
• Zelda: Minish Cap

@jake oh i'm terrible at metroidvanias but i'll take a look at the others!

@mavica_again @jake I’ve heard really good things about Minish Cap! I’m still on my BotW journey but that’s next on my list

@mavica_again happy birthday!!!!! 🎂🎉

@mavica_again happy happy!!

@mavica_again sent you a question on the site (you'll probably know which one's mine), also 🎂👍
