Two more suggestions!

Alice: Madness Returns.  Its Alice in Wonderland, but Alice's house caught fire and killed everyone but her.  In the first game she was put into an asylum.  Now she's out, but starting to decent into Wonderland once again.  Darker than I expected, and I expected a lot out of it.  Available on Xbox 360/1 and on Origin.  Buying the sequel gives access to the original game too.   The original was made on the Quake Engine so its...dated feeling.

Vikings: Wolves of Midgard.  Not as big of a recommendation as Alice, but its a solid Diablo-like  with the feel of a saga.

I played the bera back when that came out and  found it wasn't too much to my tastes.  Too precise and too many dimensions to get me to get it sadly.  It does seem there are people on the Discord playing it though.

I DO hope that this shows a trend from EA for more smaller $40 games in the future.  If it has t be a Star Wars title, I'd love a new Podracer game.

Hello, one and all!

I had a quick search on the forum and couldn’t see an existing thread but if one exists just point me there and delete this topic!

I’m starting to play my Switch more (Animal Crossing:NH, Pokemon Sword, etc) and wasn’t sure who here had one.

My friend code is SW-1170-2788-2711 so feel free to add me. ☺️

Happy gaming!

Tuna Burgers:

170g of tuna (One large can or two small ones)
1 large onion
2 tbsp relish (Optional, you can use any other wet sauce)
1/4 cup celery (Optional, you can use corn or garlic for filler instead)
~1/2-1 cup of bread crumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Spices to taste

Dice vegetables, then beat the eggs for being nerds and combine all ingredients in a bowl. Shape into patties and cook for ~3 minutes on each side on medium heat.
Enjoy on bread of choice!

They're very cheap and easy to make. Depending on onion size, we usually end up with enough for about 10 or more small patties. You can put the mixture into a fridge overnight and cook them the next day. They're remarkably filling

Spicy Red Lentil and Tomato Soup

3. Dissolve the stock cubes in the boiling water and add to the slow cooker along with the chopped tomatoes.
4. Finally, add the salt, pepper, and chilli powder to suit your taste.
5. Place lid on cooker and turn on to High; cook for an hour.  Reduce the heat to Low and cook for another 4-6 hours.

Here's my pizza dough recipe, mind you - I never measure these and just play it by ear so these are just approximates.
You'll need:

• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon yeast (One packet)
• ~5 cups flour (Primarily white so it sticks, but you can add different types of flour)
• ~1L of warm water (NOT boiled - If it's too warm for you to touch, it's too hot for the yeast)

In a large bowl, mix the warm water with sugar, salt and yeast. Stir them in, then cover with a washcloth and leave the bowl in a warm place for ~30 minutes.
Once the yeast multiplied somewhat, add the flour gradually into dough. You will probably need to add more flour, then put the bowl away to rise until you're ready to make dinner.

The trick is to start your dough earlier in the day, say around lunch or in the morning so that it's mostly ready when it's dinner time.
You can also prepare dough ahead of time and then freeze the dough balls.
I usually end up with 3 large pizzas worth of dough after I do this.

When it's go time, spread the dough on a greased pan using a rolling pin or a cup, then put on sauce, cheese and toppings of choice.

For the sauce, you can just use a premade one, but if you want to do it from scratch, mix:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 can tomato paste
• spices to taste

I personally like to add a little olive oil and spices to a premade sauce regardless because that's how I roll.
It is a little work, but if you plan ahead it's easier to manage.

Last year, the Morale Department asked you to share your favorite fall recipes. This year, we're asking you to do it again. The idea is simple; share a recipe, and try a recipe. The food we make tells a story, tell us yours.

you could always read something by a published writer! there are plenty out there! i'd love to share one by sam sax if we get enough interest, it's always made me cry

Sounds like one of those talent nights on the Enterprise!  I’d attend, but I’m not much of a poet, so I’d be enjoying the night from the audience.   

I've been toying for a while with an idea of doing a small event that's like a poetry/lit reading event, but through the discord. I wannaa know if anyone else would be interested and what you'd like to focus on / how youd like it structured. 

Before SGN i worked with a group called Devils Dykes organising poetry and arts events focusing on queer people and women, and it'd be really nice to bring some of that work to SGN. For full events we'd arrange 4 poets to read a small selection of their own work on a small stage, with little discussion beyond an introduction of themself and the work. For more informal events, we each pick a few poems or book exceprts, by ourselves or poets that inpsire us we like and read them, talk about it how it impacts us an stuff. 

I thought it might be nice to do a little event like this, specifically for work by LGBTQ people. No pressure to read anything yourself of course.

Let me know if you'd be at all interested :) 

Here's my favourite poem by Mary Oliver, a wonderful lesbian poet
