I don't play expansion packs not because I don't like it when everyone dies, but because I don't like forum-based role-playing in general.

Continuing the topic of sweets.

No-name brands are a good idea.

Lately, I've been buying them by weight. Of course, it's often unclear whose they are and what's inside, but most of the time, I get lucky.

I can recommend the "Bird's Milk" soufflé from the "Sweet Rain" factory – I've been buying it for over a year and a half and am very satisfied. It's in chocolate, two-layered inside (dark + light), and quite light.

As for interesting names (but I strongly do not recommend this), I bought a curd product called "Tender Vladislav No. 29." Some confectionery shop in Armavir produces it – they have very creative names.

we have our own sweet Владислав 😏

It's difficult to put something more harmful than sugar into a confectionery product because all E-additives are strictly regulated and used in very small quantities, and sweets are not something you should eat by the kilogram. I do read the ingredients lists – it's a professional habit plus curiosity – but they don't influence my final decision to try a particular treat. Luckily, I've never had a severe allergy to anything. If, for example, I see "mechanically deboned poultry meat" in the ingredients of cutlets or dumplings, I'll think twice about buying them and will most likely look for something without that ingredient. But for sweets and snacks, the main criterion is that they taste good.

In the Vologda region, there live these guys. I don't remember ever trying their products, but the names of their candies, such as "Wife's Secret Stash," "Man's Tear," or "Wind-Up Mother-in-Law," are definitely memorable.

By the way, I just found out that the gummy worms from KDV taste better than those from Marmi, and they're cheaper.

I fought a bit. I was in three battles, although they weren't very intense, but I almost got killed five times. I had an argument with the commander a couple of days ago, and I was going to be sent to the disciplinary barracks, but yesterday our unit was disbanded, and we were forced to go home. I'll get home, clean up, rest, spend my salary, and then we'll see what happens next. I haven't really had enough of fighting yet.

You’re certainly tough. Glad to hear you’re doing well, get some rest…

I don't play expansions not because I don't like it when everyone dies, but because I don't like forum role-playing in general.

Strong statement.

I'll drink away my salary and see what happens next.

I recently dreamt that we were finishing your expansion.

To be honest, I didn’t have very much experience or very many different MGs, but the process itself didn’t seem interesting or engaging to me; on the contrary, I found aspects that made this process simply unpleasant and boring. It feels like co-authoring a book, and if there’s one thing I absolutely dislike and am bad at, it’s working with a co-author. I’ve probably played the most on HeroesWorld (almost exclusively, lol, aside from a couple of attempts on random forums with five players and three posts, which I joined purely for the excitement with familiar people), just to be part of the buzz with the HeroesWorld folks. But at some point, I realized that you don’t need a silent player, and I don’t need to read hundreds of pages every day without understanding what’s going on. Of course, I like to grumble about the hardcore-mod exp of Revnya, and Nebo as an MG is much more comfortable for me, but I didn’t feel any fundamental or even significant difference in how much I was engaged by the games of one MG or another, so the issue is clearly with me. Perhaps this is the main reason for my distancing from the HeroesWorld community, because for many here, exps are the main pastime and a field for communication and inside jokes, but who knows — when I realized that if I don’t want to play in an exp, I don’t have to sign up for it, I felt relieved.

To be honest, I don't have much experience and haven't played with many different GMs.

All women say that.

If you change your mind, Kosha, feel free to drop by.

You don't need a silent player.

A game without Arandor is not a game.

Well, the Academy is more of an individual experience; everyone lives together, but each person does their own thing, and so on. Cooperative gameplay only really starts in competitions or something similar. I don't know how it will be this time, though.

What difference does it make, whether it's individual or collective, if I simply don't enjoy the gameplay of text-based role-playing games?

The gazebo. The gazebo never changes.

He appointed himself. He doesn't even have the right animation for it. I kept wondering why he's always hanging around there, and it turns out he's weeding the corn.
Funny that besides him, only Piper does any actual work around the place. All the other companions, including Preston, are freeloaders — they just wander back and forth all day long.
Though honestly, I haven't assigned anyone anywhere on purpose yet, but settlers usually start growing zucchini and tomatoes on their own, and I haven't had any need to do more than that.

including Preston

He is busy compiling lists of settlements that need the protagonist's help.
