Watched it more than a decade ago without playing the game but kinda knowing the story. Pretty good. Like first half set up the backstory of the game, rest was more or less the adaptation of the game. Former was a lot more interesting, while the latter took a bit to gain momentum.

Garlic's good. Not just garlic powder, fresh raw cloves pounded down via mortar and pestle. Have lots of it.

Hell, there crushed garlic, chili peppers, and vinegar (and maybe crushed black pepper) makes for a good dipping sauce for grilled/BBQed food.

There's also some non-sodium/salt seasonings or marinade, like Mrs. Dash. Might help.

Keep forgetting to ask, but apparently MSG has much less sodium than salt, so that might help with seasoning.

Curry powder also nice, though it can be overpowering for non-curry dishes. For curry, gotta load up on that and spices. Coconut milk as well, but here I'm spoiled with getting fresh milk off the coconut. Can't really give an opinion on canned or powdered coconut milk.

In the EN side of both companies, at the very least. JP side has done a few, and the ID branches, though that's usually with IN or JP. EN cross company is more or less a first.

And also, mentioning crocodiles made me find out that lechon crocodile is a thing here. Just a whole crocodile stuffed with stuff and roasted.

Like, in the Philippines in Luzon, which is the most urbanized island out of the three main islands. It looks good. I'd want a ton of rice on it.

I suppose part of it has to do with geography. There's beef, pork, and chicken raised here, but sheep isn't due to the tropical climate. So what's available of it is frozen and quite pricey so the market for it isn't large.

The small-ish squid here is real nice. Though it's important to remember to have the seller clean the squid's guts first - one time was eating some and got greeted by something sharp poking my gum. It got caught just after eating and there were still fish bones undigested. I've seen fish mongers clean the guts out and sometimes they'd fish out a whole (but tiny) fish.

Speaking of odd food, I recommend this youtube channel. Guy fishes and prepares his meals, ranging from normal fish to the really odd.

Apparently, a limited time prize when you order KFC here.



Not gonna lie, kinda makes me wanna get a famous bowl since that cake is essentially a giant one.

For most part, my main MMORPG experience was Ragnarok Online.

There's a similar incident in the VTuber sphere. Long story short, Coco Kiryu from hololive mentioned Taiwan when she was reading google analytics or something, which led to a lot of backlash. Eventually the agency dissolved their China branch of VTubers, and stopped streaming at bilibili. Effects still persists to this day, even when Coco moved on.
