Why is Egg Mayo So Tasty?

There are millions of fillings you can put into a sandwich. A sandwich can contain pretty much whatever you want, from grilled cheese and simple ham and mayonnaise, to stupidly over the top meat-filled monsters. But for some reason, lately, I’ve been kinda fixated on one particular filling: egg mayonnaise. If you don’t know what egg mayonnaise is, it’s pretty simple. You boil up some eggs, peel them then mash them up with a fork. You then add some mayonnaise (or a mixture of mayonnaise and yogurt if you are feeling fancy), add some salt and pepper and throw it… [Continue Reading]

Why the Heck was Hisuian Voltorb in 7km Eggs?

Pokemon GO’s egg system is probably the most gamble-y thing in Pokemon GO. While it’s nice to walk eggs and see what you hatch, the odds are rarely in your favour. In fact, some eggs are awful, with low chances of hatching anything that’s vaguely good. In fact, most of the time, I find myself hatching things that I could have caught in the wild. However, I think I’ve stumbled across one of the worst eggs around. 7KM eggs 7km eggs have always been in an awkward slot. You can somewhat control how you obtain them, by opening gifts while… [Continue Reading]

On Boiling Eggs

Eggs are great. Round, reliable and full of protein. Probably not the best choice for a vegetarian or a vegan. But you can do a huge amount with just eggs. Heck, the weirdly beloved deviled egg is basically a hard-boiled egg. You just scoop the insides out, mush it up with spices then put it back on top. Yet somehow, the process of boiling eggs is oddly… annoying. Somehow, something so simple can also be weirdly difficult. Also, boiling eggs always reminds me of a scene from Look Around You, a fake science show. Boiling eggs are tasty though. The… [Continue Reading]

Playing Anything But A Real Pokemon Game – A Pokemon Clicker Thing?

These days, most people use things like Discord or Steam to chat. If they don’t, they use something like Reddit. Either way, these platforms generally have a rather one-way discussion. Sure, you get threads on Reddit, but the ones you see are heavily curated by everyone else. By default, you only see the most popular threads, and conversations travel in one direction. More importantly though, aside from maybe a profile picture, there’s very little customization. You have one font, images as links and a handful of emoji and that’s it. This is a stark contrast to the old days of… [Continue Reading]

12km Eggs Are Stupid

I’ve mentioned in the past how eggs in Pokemon Go are stupid. You can’t delete them, you can’t do much with them and they give shit rewards. In fact, the only time they are vaguely worth walking is during events with halved distances. No one wants to walk 10km and be rewarded with a Feebas. But now we have a new type of egg! And they’re even worse. They’re worse in 3 ways. Problem 1: These eggs are rare as fuck. Shadow eggs or red eggs are hard to get. To get a chance to get a red egg, you… [Continue Reading]
