NEOPET GAMES THAT WORK

These are games that currently work with

THIS CHROME EXTENSION.

Working means you can both play it AND earn neopoints. There are some games that are somewhat playable but bugged, or you are unable to earn neopoints with them. Some games don’t work at all. I will not be listing those games here. Some of these will be one of the 14 fixed games in the current game room. I am including them because the old game room still has the featured game function, allowing you to earn double the points by playing it from the old link. I hope this makes you as happy as it did me. c:

I would click each one and add them to your favorite game list to make things easier later on.

Obviously 🤤 + 😳 with Ari Levinson dear Jam.

HOE-KAY! So I'm picturing you and your friend thirsting over this hunk of a man...

Hearty-eyes

Ari Levinson x Reader (You)

Warning: Diving Coach!Ari, Tourist!Reader, getting caught... sort of?), sentences in Italic is spoken in another language.

Summary: You are sure you can't be heard, or at least, understood when you thirst over a man in your native language.

"I can't believe you decided to spend our vacation on another beach." Your friend Asteria sighs, lying back under the warm sunlight, "Still, this resort is not half bad, where did you find it?"

You push the sunglasses over your head, turning lazily in her direction, smirking, "Not many results left after I type in Egypt+beach," reaching a hand to the small table between the two chairs, you grab your drink and sip the cool coconut water, "Plus, you had your share of camels and pyramids and sand in the first three days."

Asteria is a huge fan of ancient history. She selected Latin and Culture and History of Ancient Egypt in her undergraduate years, even if her major was East Asia Studies. While you got bored of this elective focusing on pharaohs and zig-zaw drawings on ancient stones quickly, Asteria followed the whole course and took another elective on Mayan civilization.

This is why when you ought to settle on a destination for your vacation, Asteria booked the first three days of a trip in and out of the desert, when you booked the next three days of one Red Sea Diving Resort.

Which accidentally comes with the hottest diving instructor you have ever met in your entire life.

"Psst, incoming alert." Asteria clutches your arm and shakes so violently, that your drink almost spills from the glass, her eyes rounding like a light bulb, "Hot coach at ten o'clock."

Coming from one of the smallest countries on the planet, you know that your native language is spoken by a small number of people. And at special circumstances, for instance, this hot coach named Ari, you naturally speak your mother tongue so that you could thirst over him with the benefit of no one could ever find out - except for Asteria, who spent four years studying it.

Sharing the same awe-struck expression as Asteria, you lower your sunglasses to have a better look at this brunette Adonis out of the water. He pushes his hair back, with the water beads falling from his chiseled chin and his large hand, dripping wet, not to mention the chest peeking from his diving suit -

"Oh my fucking God, he's looking this way." You squeal so high that you are close to out of air. Even using your native language, you can feel the shyness and nervousness bubbling from your heart and surfacing on your skin. Your face aflame by a simple look he delivers in your direction.

"Oh my - holy fuck, he's coming this way!" Asteria raises her glass to her lips, just to cover the huge grin on her face, "He's so fucking hot. Coach BDE."

"Fuck me." You exclaim, blocking your sight with the local newspaper you took on the way to the beach, because you damn well know that your heart is practically jumping out of your throat if you spare one more glance at the sex god.

"You really should." Asteria tempts you like a rightful friend would, "And tell me if his dick is actually as big as we imagined."

You hiss at her, seeing Coach Ari approaching your direction, "You are a horrible influence - not that he looks unfuckable. Hell, he looks so fuckable with the broad shoulders and the long hair." You whine in the most pathetic voice as he walks past you, "Fuck, I think I'm more soaked than he is."

"Then go talk to him!"

"I can't!"

"Of course you can!" Asteria nudges you in a particularly ticklish spot on your waist, "Go before Coach BDE disappears!"

"What if he says no!"

"You don't know that!" Asteria turns to look at the hot coach, "Great. Now he's gone." As if he has just disappeared on plain sight.

The lingering feeling of your face heating reminds you of the fact that merely with Ari's presence, you are flushed from head to toe. You can't imagine talking to him without embarrassing yourself.

Asteria rolls her eyes and pokes the ticklish spot on your waist again, "I swear, if you don't fuck him, I will annoy you about this for the rest of our lives."

"It's not like I don't want to fuck him!" You huff out in annoyance. Although with Ari gone, for now, you are deep in your thoughts so that you are still talking in your native language, "You know I'm too scared to ask him. I can't exactly go and ask, ' Hi Ari, my friend Asteria said you could be great in bed. May I fuck you?' "

A shadow looms over you. By the looks and widening eyes of Asteria looking at someone behind you, her eyes nearly popping, and the faintest wiggle of her eyebrows, you turn your neck to see the hot coach TM standing behind you, getting a whiplash as a result.

"Yes, of course." Ari simply says. A small smile tugging the corner of his lips, making the fact that he has understood your thirsting conversation painfully obvious. Ari has changed into a blue shirt and shorts, leaving his veiny arm and thick thighs in plain sight. Even though he isn't dripping anymore, you sure as hell still do.

You stutter for a moment, before hastily apologizing, "I'm so sorry, my friends and I were just talking, we didn't mean-"

"Of course, she means that." Asteria doesn't even pretend that she wants to leave the place for you and Ari, "Oops, I've got something going on. Laters babe!" Blowing you a kiss, she snatches her purse and dashes out of sight.

There is nothing smug about Ari's posture as he sits down on Asteria's chair, watching you with his clear blue eyes as you nervously drape the thin bath towel over your bikini. "Sorry about barging in on your conversation. My apologies for eavesdropping." His sharp canines bite into his plump lower lip, those mesmerizing eyes search for any sign that you could've felt offended by his movements.

"No... I should be the one to say sorry." The blood rushes to your cheeks again, you could literally ignite a match with your burning face, "... about ... um, what I've said."

"Please. I'm flattered, if anything," Ari takes a deep breath. If you were looking closely enough, you would realize the tip of his ears is painted with a faint color of pink, "Have you had dinner yet? I know a great place that cooks squabs."

The refusal is almost on instinct, but you think of the encouragement (and the threat) Asteria made before her departure, and the words roll off your tongue, "I'd love to."

What are Infused Oils?

What are they?

Infused oils are herbal components or spices placed in a jar of carrier oil like Olive Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Avacado Oil, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, etc. Can be used in cooking, herbal ailments and skincare.

Are they essential oils?

No. Short answer, no. Long answer? I'll give you an explanation. Essential oils are distilled using Steam Distillation, Solvent Extraction, CO2 Extraction, Maceration, Enfleurage, Cold Press Extraction, and or Water Distillation. Lotta words huh? It takes a lot of work to make essential oils. Unfortunately, it also takes quite a bit of that plant to make even those tiny 10ml bottles you purchase. Of course, each plant varies. However, it still can lead to a larger environmental impact.

For instance, one pound of essential oil can be extracted from approximately 250 pounds of rosemary leaves, or from 150 pounds of lavender buds, or say 50 pounds of eucalyptus leaves. This is why you see some as more expensive than others. Unfortunately, you can see where the problem lies in plants that are more threatened or endangered. If you must use essential oils, source responsibly (and not from a Pyramid scheme but I'm not opening that can of worms)

Can I use infused oils in my practice?

Yes! Absolutely! All these oil recipes you see for spell oils are exactly that. You can even use the elemental correspondences of the carrier oils you use for spell oils. As an example Olive Oil is traditionally known for the fire element and Coconut Oil is water. The possibilities for your personal correspondence are endless!

Now I'll stop rambling. Here are a few methods I learned to infuse oils in my courses and through self-herbalist study.

Method One:

The Folk Method - The most common

Directions

Place DRIED herbs in a clean, dry jar. Leave at least 1 to 3 inches of open space above your herbs to cover with oil.

Fill the remaining space in the jar with the oil of your choice, making sure to cover herbs by at least 1 inch or more. If the herbs emerge above the surface of the oil at any point while infusing, pour more oil on top to ensure the herbs remain covered.

Cap the jar tightly and shake well.

Place the jar in a sunny, warm windowsill and shake once or more per day.

After 2 to 3 weeks, strain the herbs out of the oil using cheesecloth or a mesh strainer. Or you can leave it in but straining is recommended if you are using dropper bottles as it clogs the caps.

Pour into clean glass bottles.

Remember to label your jars with the date, type of oil, and herbs used! You WILL forget! Trust me.

Store in a cool, dark place. The oil may keep for up to a year.

Method Two:

The Heat Infused Method - Quick Infusion

Directions

Place herbs in the crock pot or double boiler. Cover with extra virgin olive oil (or other carrier oil of choice), leaving at least an inch or two of oil above the herbs. 

Gently heat the herbs over very low heat (preferably between 100° and 140° F for 1 to 5 hours, until the oil takes on the colour and scent of the herb. Some recommend heating the oil for 48 to 72 hours at a controlled temperature of 100° F. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool. I personally prefer letting it sit in a crock pot for 72 hours as I feel like I get all of the benefits out of the herb.

Once oil is cooled, strain using cheesecloth.

Bottle in dry, sterilized glass bottles. LABEL your bottles with the date and contents before storing them.

Store in a cool, dark, dry place for up to six months.

Best herbs to infuse in oil

There are a countless number of herbs, spices and resins that can be infused into the oil. Please make sure these herbs are free from pesticides and chemicals (not found on the roadside). Dried herbs work best as you don't want your mixture spoiling sooner. Here are some great examples of herbs to use.

Pine needles

Calendula flowers

Chamomile flowers

Lavender

Lemon balm

Peppermint leaf

Rosemary leaf

Thyme leaf

There you have it! Now have fun and source responsibility.

Happy witching!

!! LOST IN THE BOOK WITH STITCH EVENT SPOILERS !!

Okay let's continue (Part 2):

So the two groups reunite and it turns out Floyd's group (with the help of Stitch) managed to create Lilo's home from the series, which shocked Lilia's group

(it just looks beautiful you guys)

So they start a bonfire, and Floyd gets bored as usual, that's when Stitch crafts a ukulele for him. Then Floyd starts playing and Lilia starts dancing, he also forces Riddle and Azul to dance along. Azul criticizes Riddle for being jerky/awkward while Riddle replies that he (Azul) doesn't know the dance but he has rhythm. Grim also joins along with Yuu and Ace. You're given more choices here and Ace is surprised when Yuu chooses to dance strong

After that, everyone returns to the cottage to rest for the night. But Floyd got rid of the backdoor for the bonfire, which no one liked so Stitch bit him 😭

Fast forward to morning and they're gonna split into groups once again. Lilia, Floyd and Stitch wanted to be a group but everyone said no it will just result in disaster. The teams are: Lilia, Riddle and Jack for materials; Floyd, Azul and Ace for food and Yuu, Grim and Stitch in repairing the spaceship

So we focus on the food team first, Floyd and Azul are in charge and they both decide to fish by hand since using a hook will be slower and Ace is like how? And they say that they're still good swimmers even in human form. And the whole is just Ace being hopeless at catching fish with Azul and Floyd telling him he sucks at it

Then Stitch appears along with Yuu and Grim, and then Ace asks how Yuu is doing, in which Yuu replied that they can fish with the hook and all of a sudden Floyd wants to join Yuu in fishing. Stitch crafts some sort of board/boat for us to fish on (Stitch doesn'tlike water). But then Azul yells the group that more minions are coming up, which results in Stitch and Yuu falling off the board, but Azul saves them. Yuu thanks him a lot and Azul responds that instead of words, why not show it. It's all fine now and Floyd starts cooking while Azul looks for more food. Floyd did tell Ace to accompany Yuu, Grim and Stitch back to the cottage

May I take this moment to distract you with no glasses Azul? Okay thank you

Now our focus is on Lilia's group, who's repairing the damages that was done by Floyd, Jack tells Lilia and Riddle to rest and that he can handle it but the two are insistent in helping him that he feels bad. Pretty much Jack's tsundere side is showing, but they continue to get more wood

Jack and Riddle are getting tired, but both are surprised that Lilia managed to gather wood stacked in a shape of a pyramid. Once they were done, they get to fixing. Lilia creates a door with a lock, to prevent more minion attacks

That's when Yuu, Grim and Stitch arrive; Grim tells them that the spaceship isn't ready yet. But Stitch has been feeling down lately, so Lilia gave them coconut water to drink. Riddle noticed how calm Lilia is throughout the entire situation and not worried about the other diaso members and then Lilia tells him that even if they're apart, they know that Lilia is doing fine and won't get into trouble easily and they know him like family 🥹 (STOP DIASOMNIA FAMILY REALNESS), Stitch then cuddles Lilia telling him "Ohana", which seems Stitch sees him as family too. Stitch also wanted to paint flower patterns in the cottage (similar to Lilo's flowers), Lilia and Yuu agree and they start painting

What Arch Ate

Heya folks, Arch here, back with another instalment of this little ongoing series! Seeing as I foolishly forgot to put one of these together last week, this week's WAA is a two-for-one special!

Today, I'd like to bring to you all Nasi Lemak, and Tau Suan.

On the left and right respectively. Had both of these in the same day, the former for lunch at a food court, and bought the latter home as one of my favourite desserts.

And here are some significantly better pictures!

------

Nasi Lemak, which directly translates to 'fat rice', is a Malay dish popular pretty much everywhere in Southeast Asia with a significant Malay population, which very much includes Singapore. That name comes from the way the 'Nasi' is cooked, being soaked in coconut milk before being steamed, often with pandan leaves and other aromatics for extra flavour. The result is a 'creamy' and rich rice, which is served in numerous ways with various dishes. Those commonly include a mixture of roasted peanuts and ikan bilis (fried anchovies), sambal (a spicy chili 'paste'), and cucumbers, as well as various proteins ranging from fried fish or chicken to eggs.

One notable feature I'd like to point out has to do with how Nasi Lemak can be served. While 'on a plate' is common enough in most places, as part of the dish's past as a 'working breakfast' of sorts, it has long been served wrapped in banana leaves, forming a pyramid covered in brown waxed paper which can be brought along with you. As a result, it's not uncommon for Nasi Lemak to be served on or with a banana leaf, as in all the above pictures, regardless if you're using a plate or not.

------

While Nasi Lemak is a meal in itself, Tau Suan very much isn't. Instead, this Chinese-originated dish is a dessert, though pretty different from what you might expect from that term in the 'West'.

This dish is made with mung beans, and takes the form of a starchy, sweet syrup or soup, best served hot. It's commonly eaten with You Tiao, long sticks of fried dough cut up into bite-sized pieces and allowed to soak in the syrup. A personal favourite dish of mine, and has been since I was a kid!

Character Intro: Méli (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Queen Bee by the people of Olympius

Age- 18 (immortal)

Location- Syros, Olympius

Personality- She's bubbly, positive, & caring- never judgemental. Much like her symbolic animal she's organized, efficient, diligent, sociable, and has a "hive" mindset- thinking more so about the community than just herself. She's currently single.

She has the standard abilities of a goddess. As the goddess of bees & honey, her other powers/abilities include mélikinesis (honey generation/manipulation), honey mimicry, palynokinesis (pollen manipulation), beeswax manipulation, being able to shapeshift into/communicate with all species of bees, also being able to communicate with ants, hornets, & wasps, and is able to adapt bee physiology into her physical form- protruding stingers from her third and fourth knuckle, being able to see ultraviolet light (her eyes turn black/compound looking while maintaining their size), can grow three extra sets of legs, being able to crawl on walls, and can manifest bee wings from her back).

Méli lives on her own at her gorgeous estate in the state of Syros. The outside may look like the typical beach style house, but inside, the roof is in the shape of a hexagonal pyramid. There's wide columns of light cedarwood with lots of windows bringing in natural sunlight. Most of the walls are painted with a honeycomb pattern in colors of gold, yellow, cream, & glittery black. The backyard seems to go on for miles filled with vibrant greenery, flowers, towering palm trees, and her apiary (also known as a bee farm). Even though she can manifest a pair of bee wings on her back to fly, she usually gets around in her cream yellow VW covertible (with Imperial Gold chrome spinners). She also owns a vacation cottage in the Hearthwood neighborhood of New Olympus.

Go-to drinks for her include the bee's knees cocktail, honey lime margaritas, honey bourbon sangrias, sparkling water, lemon-lime soda, champagne, & honey almond milk smoothies. Her usuals from The Roasted Bean is the large honey oatmilk latte and the pineapple lychee splash.

Méli's one of the few relatively "young" deities along with Horme (god of energy), Adranos (god of fire), Chelone (goddess of tortoises), Aergia (goddess of sloth, idleness, & laziness), and Tithonus (god of insect.

For breakfast she loves stopping by at The Bread Box to get an egg & cheese sandwich on a hero. At home she'll eat a stack of buttermilk vanilla pancakes (topped with butter & drizzled in honey), a smoothie bowl (made with coconut milk & topped with honey, chia seeds, sliced peaches, toasted almonds, and granola), or a big bowl of Earthly Harvest's Oats & Honey cereal (with almond milk).

In the pantheon Méli's good friends with Zephyrus (god of the west wind), Eleutheria (Lulu) (goddess of liberty), Iris (goddess of the rainbow), Adephagia (goddess of gluttony), Eos (Titaness of dawn), Hemera (goddess of the day), Chloris (goddess of flowers), Thallo (goddess of spring & new growth), Antheia (goddess of swamps, vegetation, & floral wreaths), Carpo (goddess of autumn & fruits), Hermes, Auxo (goddess of summer, vegetation, & plants), Notus (god of the south wind), Pandaisia (goddess of banquets), Apollo (god of the sun, music, poetry, healing, medicine, archery, plague, light, & knowledge), The Hesperides, Panacea (goddess of univeral remedy), Urso (god of bears), Terpischore (muse of dance), and Aoide (goddess of voice & song). Méli secretly has a crush on Matton (god of meals). She greatly admires Gaia (goddess of the earth); who was her mentor, Demeter (goddess of the harvest & agriculture), Hestia (goddess of the hearth), Livádi (goddess of meadows), Eunostos (goddess of the flour mill), Promylaia, and Karme (demi-goddess of the harvest).

She's gone to Eleusis a few times to partake in the Cornucopia festival.

She loves snacking on raw honeycomb and honey barbeque cheese puffs!

Méli is confident in her plus size figure! Her latest Fatestagram post was a photo of her and Eos at a beach in Rhodes. She was wearing a stringy neon yellow Swimsilk bathing suit with a white gold jeweled waist chain. It got almost 10,000 likes!

Her main business & source of income is The Gold Pot (which includes an official website and store location in her home state) where various specialized creamed honey as well as raw honey are sold. Méli's personal faves are the cinnamon honey & the organic matcha honey. There are plans for future store locations in Achaea, Santorini, as well as a makeshift store in the Mall of Olympius. For other work/income Méli models for White Lily Gallery (has her own name plate necklace), Sunshine Radiance (loves using the vitamin c brightening cleanser), Glory's Crown (loves the honey hydrating hair oil), Glimmer Victory (the goddess Nike's jewelry brand), FATshionista, and Treis Epochés. She has recently partnered up with the goddess Philyra (and her cosmetics brand Olmorfia) to release a themed make-up palette called Honeylicious.

She employs dozens of meliads (ash tree nymphs).

One of her favorite sweet treats is the honey-salted caramel ice cream. Méli also likes Hestia's signature honey cake, Hesperis' apple pie, and The Frozen Spoon's graham ice cream sandwiches (made with vanilla ice cream with added in butterscotch chips!) She also likes to stop by at Skóni Parádeisos for the honey-butter biscuits & airy beignets!

She's often vocal about the slight decrease in the overall honeybee population in the country- often due to intensive agriculture, harmful pesticide use, & biodiversity loss.

Méli likes using the Luxuria shimmering body oil in "Ambrosia Honey."

One of her favorite gifts was a series of engraved gold bangles from Eos.

Her favorite personal gift that she got herself is the jeweled beehive clutch from Diamond Ave., costing almost 6,000 drachmas!

In her free time she enjoys beekeeping, gardening, sunbathing, cloud surfing, going to the beach, tennis, listening to music, bike riding, drawing, painting, watching TV, and yoga.

She loves stopping at The Hearthside Diner for an order of the glorious lemon-honey glazed fried chicken. Méli also likes the 10 pc honey barbeque chicken tenders with olympian sized fries from Olympic Chef. Other favorite foods include sweet & sour chicken, egg rolls, moussaka, fried brown rice, sweet buttered corn, vegetable lo mein, and corn dogs (with honey mustard dipping sauce).

"Words are like bees. Some are sweet as honey while others can leave a sting."

[xiv-wolfram]

Saw this on Twitter and thought it was cool, so I answered them for Wolfram. 😁

1. Favorite Vegetable - Cauliflower. Specifically roasted, fried, or in curries. 😋

2. How many blankets on bed? - One, which he will hog if it's cold.

3. Do they know how to set a table? - He worked at inns, so yes, but also that's really dependant on culture so he would probably adjust depending on where he was and ask questions if he didn't know.

4. If they had to dye their hair another color, what would it be? - Something unnatural - maybe teal or deep purple? But he prefers his natural black hair.

5. Generally how much would they tip at a restaurant? - As long as they didn't do anything majorly wrong? 20% minimum every time.

6. What gas station food do they buy for themselves? - Flaming Hot Cheetos and coconut water.

7. What gas station food do they buy for someone else? - Whatever they ask for? I bet Raubahn likes beef jerky.

8. Least Favorite Smell - Burning flesh, it's kind of a lesser trigger. 😅🥹

9. Is there something distinct about their teeth? - Other than the miracle that they're all still intact? No.

10. What pyramid scheme are they most likely to fall for? - None, he's naturally pretty suspicious of that kind of thing. If someone was begging on the street without needing the money he would definitely fall for that.

11. Favorite Soup - Chili (fight me!) 😈

12. Least Favorite Instrument - Does not exist, he loves music. Favorite is guitar.

13. They buy 5 things at the grocery store. What are they? - Chicken thighs, tomatoes, onions, chilis, garam masala.

14. What temperature so they keep their thermostat at? - IRL would be 69 (winter, laughing as he sets it), 72 (summer). Raubahn turns it up when he's not looking though. 😂

15. In what order do they get dressed? [socks, underwear, pants] - Underwear, shirt, pants, socks, jacket, weapons. ⚔️

16. Favorite Tree - 😏 After that NSFW shoot I have to say Palm trees...

17. Are they good at wrapping presents? - Does putting it in a cute bag count?

18. Do they have any food allergies, or the cilantro gene? - No allergies but he does suffer from the cilantro gene. 😔

19. How do they kiss? [Chaste, too much tongue.] - I guess he's a bit of a lip sucker/nibbler? Often giving forehead, neck, and shoulder kisses as well. Also why is this on the list? 😳

20. How do they handle an awkward moment in front of others? - Cracks a joke, trying to lighten the mood. It is often inappropriate and completely backfires. 😅

21. What is the gross habit they have but no one knows about? - Doesn't sweep up clipped nails. 🤷‍♀️

22. Would they be able to parallel park? - Yes, eventually, but a bit stressful so he avoids it.

23. What is a niche YouTube genre they would enjoy? [asmr, mukbang, etc] - He'd definatley be addicted to recipe videos. Notifications enabled for Epicurious. 👨‍🍳

24. If they were going to make fun of someone, what would it be for? - He's very sarcastic, so just about anything. He likes teasing Raubahn and knows how to make him blush so will often whisper things to him before he has to give a speech. Very amused watching his husband trying to collect his thoughts while addressing a crowd. 🤭

25. Favorite Swear Word - Fuck 👍

26. Least Favorite Book - He doesn't read much. Uh... I guess that old Mhachi tome he read to summon the voidsent that killed his family? 😅🥹

27. An aspect they do not like about their partner but love them anyway for? - Sometimes Rau talks down about himself, which Wolf hates to hear since he disagrees but tries to listen anyway so he can give him some words of affirmation after. 😌

28. Favorite Jewelry - RINGS. He wears multiple on each hand. Good thing he's not a pugilist like his mom was. 🤜

29. Least Favorite Texture/Fabric - That really scratch weaved wool. Also, burlap. 😬

30. If you could describe them only using kinds of fast food what would they be? - I don't know what this means... A burger and fries? 🍔🍟

most played killers tho? 👀

Wraith is by far my favorite, and the anti-lightburn update I'm getting makes me very happy. He was a fucking force during genkick meta and I got a 13 winstreak on him (and if i'd counted ties as not resetting, I think it was closert to 25?) He's good in the right hands but suffers greatly on dense maps.

I really enjoy a good Hexy-heavy Myers build, Plaything+Retribution on him is STANKY

I play Pallet Freddy (mostly when im drunk) as my "no thoughts head empty" killer

Spirit is by no means low tier but she feels like Better Wraith and she's super fun. Also she has a Big Hat.

I used to really like Plague but something about her power un-clicked for me a while back and I haven't done well with her since.

I have a friend who bought me Demogorgon before he went into the Netflix Vault and I'm glad because he's super fun

Pyramid Head I used to hate playing and then I did his adept and discovered a love for hitting people on gens through walls while undetectable

SOMETIMES I play Trickster but the maps recently have been awful for him

Pinhead I enjoy but I never try for annoying box builds (coconut why did you release that upon us) because I don't like playing AGAINST them so I won't play WITH them.

I wanna like Sadako but. God at what cost.

Dredge is one of my favorite killers after Wraith, and I usually play it when I stop wanting to deal with shack.

Ranking 'em I'd say...

Wraith

Dredge

Spirit

Myers

Demogorgon

Pyramid Head

Pinhead

Plague

Trickster

Freddy/Sadako

The others I don't think I play enough to really have a ranking or anything. Like I said, I like low tier killers lmao.

#nobody cares turbo #i like nurse too but i usually only play her with the 115 after hit addon #because nobody expects fastnurse

What is Keto Diet and how to Start with it?

The Keto, short for Ketogenic, is a high-fat and low-carb diet that has gained popularity in recent years for its potential benefits in weight loss, improving blood sugar control, and increasing energy levels. The best thing about the Keto diet is its ability to induce a state of ketosis, where the body switches from burning glucose for energy to burning fats instead. This can lead to significant weight loss and improved insulin sensitivity in individuals with diabetes.

In addition to weight loss and improved blood sugar control, many people also report feeling more satiated on a Keto diet due to its high-fat content, leading to less snacking throughout the day. Furthermore, research has suggested that the Keto diet may have numerous health benefits such as protecting against neurological diseases and body inflammation, and may even help reduce the risk of developing some chronic diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and heart disease.

Overall, the best thing about the Keto diet is its ability to improve overall health and well-being while still allowing for a wide range of delicious and satiating foods, including healthy fats and vegetables. For those interested in trying out the Keto diet, there are also many free Keto recipes available online to help get started.

How does the Keto diet work?

The Keto diet works by limiting the intake of carbohydrates to a very low amount, typically less than 50 grams per day. This forces the body to switch from using glucose as its primary energy source to using ketones, which are produced when the body breaks down fat. This process is called ketosis and can lead to significant weight loss and improved blood sugar control.

2. What can you eat on a Keto diet?

On a Keto diet, the focus is on high-fat foods such as avocados, nuts and seeds, oils, butter, and fatty cuts of meat like beef and pork. You can also eat non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, and cauliflower, and small amounts of low-carb fruits like berries. However, you should avoid starchy vegetables, grains, sugar, and most fruits as they are high in carbohydrates.

3. What are the potential benefits of the Keto diet?

Apart from weight loss and improved blood sugar control, the Keto diet may have several other potential health benefits. For instance, some studies suggest that it may help reduce inflammation, protect against certain neurological diseases, and lower the risk of developing some chronic diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, and heart disease.

4. Are there any risks or side effects associated with the Keto diet?

Some people may experience side effects when starting a Keto diet, such as fatigue, headaches, and nausea, which are usually temporary and subside within a few days or weeks. Additionally, the Keto diet may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with certain medical conditions such as pancreatitis, liver disease, or gallbladder disease. It is always a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new diet or exercise regimen.

The keto diet food pyramid is a visual guide that shows the recommended intake of different food groups on a ketogenic diet. Here is an example of a keto diet food pyramid:

At the bottom of the pyramid, we have the foundation of the keto diet, which consists of:

Low-carbohydrate vegetables such as leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and asparagus. These are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and should be included in every meal to provide bulk and essential nutrients.

Moving up the pyramid, we have:

Healthy fats such as avocado, nuts and seeds, olive oil, coconut oil, and butter. These should be consumed in moderation but are a crucial part of the keto diet as they provide the body with energy and help to keep you feeling full.

High-quality protein sources such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and cheese. These are important for building and repairing muscles and tissues in the body.

At the top of the pyramid, we have:

Low-sugar fruits such as berries and avocados. These are a good source of fiber and antioxidants and can be included in small amounts on a keto diet.

Carbohydrates in the form of starchy vegetables, grains, and processed foods should be avoided or limited on a ketogenic diet as they can kick you out of ketosis.

It is important to note that the serving sizes and amounts of each food group on the keto diet may vary depending on your individual needs and goals. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before starting any new diet.

The ketogenic diet has become increasingly popular in recent years as a way to lose weight, improve health markers, and increase energy levels. Here is an ultimate keto meal plan that will help you achieve your goals while keeping your meals exciting and delicious.

Breakfast:

2 eggs cooked in 1 tablespoon of butter or ghee

2 slices of bacon

1/2 avocado

Black coffee or tea with a tablespoon of heavy cream

Lunch:

Grilled chicken breast or baked salmon with lemon butter sauce

1 cup of sautéed spinach with garlic and olive oil

1/4 cup of cherry tomatoes

1/4 cup of sliced cucumber

1/4 cup of sliced almonds

Dinner:

Baked chicken thighs with rosemary and garlic

1 cup of roasted broccoli with garlic and olive oil

1/2 cup of cauliflower rice

1/4 cup of sliced mushrooms

Snacks:

1 ounce of macadamia nuts

1 ounce of cheddar cheese

1/2 cup of sliced cucumber with 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing

1 hard-boiled egg

Beverages:

Water

Sparkling water

Unsweetened tea or coffee

Almond milk or coconut milk (unsweetened)

Tips:

Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Plan and prep your meals ahead of time to make it easier to stick to the diet.

Use herbs and spices to add flavor to your meals instead of sugar or other high-carb seasonings.

Choose healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, nuts, and seeds instead of unhealthy fats like processed vegetable oils.

Experiment with new recipes to keep your meals exciting and avoid boredom.

Remember, the key to a successful ketogenic diet is to stick to the plan and track your progress. Keep in mind that this meal plan is just a starting point, and you may need to make adjustments based on your individual needs and preferences.

D&D Quotes Without Context

Treasure Island edition, Chapter 10

Magnus has filled his room in the suspiciously spacy hovel with enough incense smoke to knock out a shire horse (or just start MJ's day)... "How does one steal an entire mansion? There is only one thief capable of such impossible feats, and no one has seen her for years." “Beatriz Fresno isn’t real.” "That's just what she WANTS YOU TO THINK." Cookie: "Are any of us real… before a cup of coffee…?" Ded is just returning from walking himself. "My opinion is that Legal Drinking age is a polite suggestion." MJ has bacon, fruit and nachos she keeps getting from somewhere in her robes. "And Ded's memory is like the rest of him, fuzzy." Magnus resists the urge to Kubrick-stare. "We mentioned his name once, and a would be mutineer tried to run through a bulkhead in response." "Flint hate when crew do that." "I imagine Flint hated a great many things, and I will personally check off every one on the list I can." "It was an old joke among Flint's crew, regarding one of his men. He has a wooden leg named smith, another leg named Schubert, and a "third leg" called Johnson." Roth shakes his head. "I tried to keep as far away from the man as possible." "Ded only remember crew with even number of legs." Thunderchild clears his throat. "I have a proposal for you, as much you directly as for your captain. One that might solve or at least mitigate several mutual problems." MJ: “The brownies a five silver each or five gold for a dozen. Be careful, they taken five to ten minutes to kick in depending on biology.” Janus: "And don't eat five at once or Asmoedus will appear before y ou and try and rip your soul out through your knees. Archie found that out the hard way." “I find selling brownies solves everyone’s problems. Easy mistake to make.” Thunderchild: So an issue that you probably haven't realized you have yet is that these islands are basically a powder keg and you just lit a fire in the middle of it. An intact ship, including whatever magical device let you get one through the Storm wall intact is the most valuable thing in these islands short of Flint's treasure." Ded: "Like Game Night, only worse." "Ded not sure designing people only for fighting is good idea. How you make sure they stop?" "Sorry, just remembered a very bad experience I had with a bunch of Orc and Wereboar Pirates who were masquerading as native islanders to cover their operations. It was just....uncomfortable on a nymber of leveles." "Not that stupid crystal coconut again. That thing is nothing but trouble." "Please say there aren't any giant piranha plants big enough to attack humans on their island." "Oh those are the worst. Great singers though." "Don't eat sapient creatures Amber. You'll turn into a Wendigo." “That only happens in Canada.” "Ded once eat someone. Ded still have feet." “Yeah, there’s two unbreakable rules. Don’t eat people and don’t fuck robots. Warforged are okay, but don’t fuck robots.” Cookie: "He has cool stuff... I agree... We gank him first...." “Yeah! Let’s go fuck Tomato right up his ass!” "Aye, he's got his own little cult of bullies which he uses to keep the other finfolk in line." Thunderchild says. "But without fear of him, they'd crumble within a week." "Ah, the classic pyramid scheme style." "Flint sell pyramid halves." "I thought they were fish... are we fighting mummy pirates now...?" "Yes, this seems like the kind of deed to work your way up to polishing Tiamat's hoard when you arrive in hell rather than in her bowl of Soul-Funions." "We can always level Tamatoa's lair on the way out." “I can turn Dingo into something that flies if we need too.” Staring in “the fuck you will” iguana noises. Angry Iguana Owl... "That parrot reminds me of one of my old colleagues, who went on Safari and never returned. Fred Fucks." "I heard my patron speak of him. he was consigned to the fell city of El-Jei-En." "I offered some spiced foods... I have a feeling ... If I offered him crackers... He'd throttle me..." "Ded think that one health-conscious." "Well I mean you are a chef, and we're sending this parrot into enemy territory. We can afford to be generous I think." OOC: Awwwk! Awwwk! Twelve and a half percent!
