Behold!

The WALL OF THE FAITHLESS! Where the non-believers of the GREAT PINEAPPLE/PIZZA DIVIDE as espoused by our LORD AND SAVIOR, THAR-----, THE NAMELESS, shall go if they do not recant their heresies.

False, none of those sound good. Tuna pancakes? Tuna short pie pasties?! Come on.

But I can imagine at least one that isn't terrible. I'm imagining a tuna salad sandwich situation, where the slices of bread are replaced with crispy, savory waffles. That might not be terrible, I'll have to let you know.

EDIT: Apparently this is already a thing.

So there you have it: canned tuna + frozen waffles, in a format that looks edible. Serve it with soup, and it might even be a tasty lunch.

Apparently someone made that waffle-tuna-soup-olive abomination on their YouTube cooking channel.


The verdict:

"It's actually not--it's not too bad. Its not delicious, at all, but it's not disgusting either.
...
It actually looks a lot worse than it tastes. If you're a tuna casserole fan, this will taste very familiar."

I haven't been posting much since I started making an effort to stay more positive.
I wish there were something more positive going on in the hobby that I was interacting with that I could discuss.
Oh well, hope everyone's having a good day.

Yeah, I have more or less walked away from all of this for a while. I have a ton of games I can have fun with, but I don't dare to leave the house. I just need to decide on which system to play, which vtt to use, learn to use it, and then get the nerve to invite random strangers online to play. I am not a happy gamer.

I read Neil Stephenson's Baroque Cycle a second time and enjoyed it more on the re-read, and that's a beast (three volumes, 8 sub-books, 2256 pages).

Is that the one I might think of as The System of the World? In a past life, I worked as a button-pushing monkey recording engineer recording those. Whatever pleasure Stephenson's books may provide was lost (for me) in that process. No novel (or other book built around a narrative) is likely to come across well if one reads ~40 pages, then comes back ten days later and reads a different~40 pages with no real connection to where one left off. On the scale Stephenson was working, what tends to happen is one picks up in one thread, mid-digression; then reads enough to get out of the digression and either into another or to skip to another unrelated narrative thread. One never really sees anything one understands, resolve.

I tried to do what Acererak is talking about with Song of Ice and Fire. I re-read the first three books when a Feast for Crows came out five years after A Storm of Swords, but by the time Dance arrived I was done with it. I had needed the re-read to get reacquainted with the plots and large cast, but the books just weren't enjoyable enough to justify re-reading 3188 pages after another five years had passed. The only time in my life when I've felt that the TV or film adaptation of a work was just superior and more worth the consumer's time than the book(s). And that's even considering the collapse in writing in the last couple seasons of the series.

At this point my approach is to hold off on reading a planned series until the whole thing is published. Obviously this works better for something like a trilogy than a dodecalogy; no plan is perfect.

Winds of Magic is great! A beautiful work, both tidying up the rules and adding a load of lore and mechanical content.

Tuna on a savory waffle would probably be fine. I made cornbread waffles stuffed with taco meat and topped with cheese, salsa, and sour cream.
And of course chicken and waffles is delicious.

One must wonder why one would invite people to comment on one's game, if one were enjoying it.
