I really like peppers.

Before playing Stardew Valley, I had no idea that people make jelly out of peppers, as if they were a tasty berry and not a ball of pure fire.

I've been trying to imagine what Pepper Jam tastes like and I just can't wrap my head around it.

A lot of peppers have a berry-like sweetness to go with their heat. Habaneros are a good example of that. There's a bar I used to go to that had a great habanero salsa, surprisingly sweet and then the heat creeps up on you.

I have a jar of jalapeno jelly in my pantry I should try out. I bet it'd be good on a turkey sandwich or something.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I thought there was a Christmas-y theme in Read Only Memories, but I can't find it. The OST is pretty good though.

Here's a game about Christmas with Christmas music

and an OC Remix to make the music a little better

peppers are berries, and have sugars and juice in them like any other berry -- they just also have capsacin in them. usually people use the less spicy peppers, like jalapenos, which when boiled down and diluted with sugar and gelatin as you do when making that stuff end up just a little spicy. good stuff

If you are playing games for Christmas please don't forget to rescue Santa in Secret of Mana, he shouldn't stay as an ogre for too long because it scares Rudolph.

Also make sure you save Manhattan from goo monsters in Parasite Eve.

I meant in the sense that bell peppers have no capsaicin, sorry, I don't know anything about what genus they belong to

Bell peppers are indeed capsicums like jalapenos, habaneros, ghost peppers, etc. All new world peppers come from the same few related plant species.

The more you know.

A few years ago I had an idea for a game where you play as Krampus and there's this one really nasty kid you have to drag to hell, but it turns out when you get to Santa's Workshop (which had a portal to hell in it, because he got his powers, along with Krampus's cooperation, in a deal with the devil) it's overrun by demons come to collect on Santa's debt, so Krampus and the kid team up to fight the demons. I think I envisioned it as a metroidvania and the final boss was Mephistopheles. The kid rides in a basket on your back and throws coal as your ranged attack, and your main attack is whipping with your long tongue.

This sounds like it would own

This is just a friendly reminder that there are currently more people playing decades-old C&C games than there are playing Battleborn, released in TYOOL 2016.

You don't have PMs enabled so I'll put it out there that I'm down to gently caress around in C&C for an hour or two sometime.

I like it when games/stories are sort of incidentally set during Christmas like PE is, it's a cool way of making whatever out-of-the-ordinary event that kicks off the narrative feel more disruptive.

Im on the last level of Doom and I cant bring myself to finish it because its so criminally boring. The straw that broke the camels back was when there was a door I couldnt get past until I beat all the enemies but theres a jump pad right next to it that gives you like 3 times the height of the door but theres a floor to ceiling invisible wall. gently caress off.

It's been so long since I played a Pokemon game seriously, can't Eevee learn Flamethrower and Thunderbolt and Surf?

I just hatched my first one in Sun, I put it down for a while to get back to DK Tropical Freeze (jesus this game is hard) and No Man's Sky (Survival mode is so hard)

I got bored in hell too. Final boss is fun when you get back to it so look forward to that
