Seems to be a bit of an oxymoron. I want my ice cream cold, unless it has some variety of crumble served with it.

[Frumple]

Near as I can tell checking, the ice cream is mostly still cold,* there's just at-most some caramelization of the alcohol on the outside, which is... well, if you like caramel or related substances on your ice cream, it'd probably be a good thing. Subtle, from accounts, but definitely noticeable.

Mind, you could have mostly the same effect just glazing the stuff with caramel or whatever, but that's not nearly as entertaining.

*You wouldn't have much more of an effect than using hot chocolate syrup/straight up melted chocolate, so far as I'm aware of the physics involved, which I can attest still leaves the ice cream very much cold. It just has delicious warmy bits in with it. Is good. Have to eat it a bit quicker if you don't want it to go slurry, but the taste will probably make that a non-issue :V

E: I kinda' want a hot fudge sundae now

There's also fried ice cream, apparently.

As in, deep-fried.

[Frumple]

Yup. I've had it with fried chocolate as the shell, iirc. Pretty good. Not really that different from ice cream with that kinda' solid chocolate coating, if my memory's working right (which it may not be, it's been a fair few years), but still different.

I'm using wordpad (temporarily, long story) and... just wow.
ctrl-backspace adds an unknown character, but that's not so uncommon.  Really dumb, but not that weird.
But I just realized that every time I save:

The window scrolling resets so the cursor is at the top
Sometimes the cursor jumps left a few characters??
Possibly related:  All line wraps get cemented with newlines

what the fuck, just why

And in IE, ctrl-K pops up a clone of the current tab instead of going to the search bar.  WhY
And in Python IDLE, undo is ctrl-z as normal, but redo is ctrl-shift-z??
Also Python IDLE gets the indentation type wrong under certain circumstances.  Which of course makes it refuse to run.  argh

Also I hope I get some last minute clarification back on this assignment, though it's my fault for putting it off so long.  It'll be fine honestly, I just want it to be consistent with the others.

(I already installed Firefox in this vpc, gonna go ahead and install notepad++ too.  Because the added-newline thing is just unacceptably bad.  WHY, WHYYYY)

Somewhere in the depths of microsoft's HQ, the poor lone bastard that's been stuck doing wordpad development for the last couple decades just smiled the smile of the one joy they have in life.

Gotta have hard surfaces.

Ill sleep on anything if Im tired, and matresses arent uncomfortable, but Ive definitely a hard matress person.


And firm pillow.  You keep your fluffy pillows that make you feel like you could suffocate in them.  Gimme a small pillow

I don't use "firm pillows" so much, but I definitely share your views on fluffy ones. I prefer mine to be flat and understuffed... as skinny as I am, basically, but without the aforementioned bones.

While we're on the topic of sleep-related WTFs, drooling is kinda gross.
I hate it when I drool in my sleep. Sorry, futon.

Deep fried green tea ice cream is the greatest dessert our species has invented, bar none.

Purple yam ice cream too ._.

Clearly you have to never had an Irn-Bru ice lolly.

Also, fuck you auto-correct.

[Yoink]

Now I want a Maxibon. 
They even have a new iced coffee flavour so I could satisfy two cravings at once...

Also, whatever happened to Tack? Did he leave us or something? :-/

[hops]

He just posted today, so I doubt it.

I just played a shitty mobile MMO for two hours. I kept telling myself that I was going to stop playing it any minute now, that I was getting bored, that it was exploitative garbage that sold itself on sex appeal alone. But I kept telling myself "Just one more stage..."

Guess I have a new time waster. There's even a power-saving mode that turns down all the graphics!

[TheBiggerFish]

*blink*
Which one?

[itisnotlogical]

Sword of Chaos.

The advertising is deviously clever; they put in unnecessary censorship to make it look like the game is much more risque than it actually is. I guess they were going for "Surely there can't be boobies in an Android game!?" reaction... and it worked, since I ended up playing the game.

Just to be clear, the game is pretty lame by MMO standards, and I wouldn't seriously recommend it. But as mobile MMOs go, it's not offensively bad.
