But sometimes you just gotta eat the industrial crap to re-learn the lesson that childhood can never be recaptured.

Or you can just make your own gjetost and mix it with pasta ;) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunost

It’s not imported. It’s a staple of Canadian childhood too. For better or worse.

No I just went to a normal supermarket that apparently has to be the size of a warehouse and sell 20 versions of industrial Mac and cheese. I don’t understand why we need so many boxes of orange powder sold with various shapes of pasta but I’m also toxically attracted to this crap 🙃

It is the same. Doubt the recipe is different too given the origins and distance.

It used to be branded as Kraft Dinner. I suppose this was an effort to modernize the brand. It’s a lot of orange powder.

Quick thoughts now that I'm back in North America: 1. People dress amorphously... 😟 I felt like a schmuck in Europe but boy am I stylish here. 2. Everything is sooooo big - who really needs a barrel of mayo or a vat of vanilla creamer? 🫠 3. Why is 50% of the land dedicated to cars 🙃 4. Clamato!!! ❤️

Yeah! Hands down the best controller design I’ve seen

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It’s suuuuper nice 👌 I’m such a nerd I bought it before getting the console, but using for the first time today

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

And I brought this baby with me for the trip

My dad’s eyes lighting up like high beams as I asked him for an extension cord. I think I’ll ask him for a Good Box next to see what happens.

Yes! The website to activate it has absolutely dismal UX but it worked :)

Steam version acquired and installed ✌️ Pretty sure I've been suuuuuper quiet about it but btw in case you didn't notice I really like this game (when I'm not playing against the super sweats)

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

yes they are the first step will be in December then further updates coming this spring I am totally not excited I'm sure it shows ✨

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

ah well no luck for the Canadians 😩

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

will check! I just need a Steam key then I can play on either my Alienware or Macbook. I have not (yet) succumbed to the portable gaming platform craze thankfully

guys guys guys hear me out the PS5 is packed away but Marathon has sponsored survival running right now until next week - would buying it on PC make sense or should I just wait a few days to buy a PS5 Pro once I'm back in Mtl what's the better option here? they are both equally dumb and necessary

I have to say that while this is one of the hardest periods of my life I'm much happier now and mentally stronger/resilient than I was a year ago and previous years. As they say, everything is relative isn't it.

There’s been a consistent stream of bad management of projects and studios, usually stemming from weak and vision-less leadership, literally for decades - at this point I suppose it’s a miracle there’s still video games being made. Hopefully this’ll continue. Idk anymore.

I find it very hard to take the two combined statements seriously: “We are working on a game right now” and “We haven’t decided which engine we’ll use”. Who’s gaslighting who here.

Twas with ex-colleagues but if you want to go for pizza and fancy cocktails this weekend that can be arranged

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I improved the other half of my meal with pizzakebab. THAT one is a masterpiece 👌 At least we didn’t get peanuts :p

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

It was ok tbh. There’s a line the canadian Hawaiian pizza crossed and the Swedes are just continuing the tradition.

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

….. it lacked punch. I think it needed a lil more salt to brighten the fruit. But tbh the banana is really useless. I’ll try a basic Hawaiian pizza with curry powder later. Pizzakebab remains undefeated.

Ok I’ve finally had Swedish banana curry pizza. Not pictured: creamy garlic dressing to drizzle on top. … yep

Two slices of pizza in a tiny white plate. The toppings are thinly sliced ham, pineapple, banana, and a sprinkle of curry powder.

Smoked meat Or toast it and you can use that as a base for pâté for ex

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

In doubt you can always try a buffalo style sauce ^^;

Geneviève Routhier @genrouthier.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I love making hot sauces with peppers. Though I’ve never tried with already pickled ones (I lactoferment) I’ll bet you could still make something really interesting. For example a while back I made a litchi/jalapeño sriracha and I feel serranos would work well for that.
