Surely there’s a gif of Don Zimmer rushing Pedro Martinez that can have a couple faces swapped here, that’s got potential

Named my daughter Evelyn last year. I’m doing my part.

Can’t leave out that Trump not only was friends with McMahon, but went so far as to put his wife in his cabinet.

Yeah it’s true. The game originated in Sweden, and we have a lot of Swedish immigrants in Minnesota. It was originally called anka anka gråttanka, which translates to duck duck grey duck. Or that’s the story we tell here at least.

There are some gems for food in the St. Cloud area. I moved away from the area about three years ago into the Twin Cities, so can’t speak to more recent additions, but White Horse downtown was always good food if you could put up with unnecessarily slow service. Olde Brick House downtown also good. Old Capital Tavern in Sauk Rapids is solid. Krewe in St. Joseph is probably my favorite restaurant in the area though, and make sure you stop at Jupiter Moon Ice Cream afterwards.

Overall Minnesota is a great place to live. Don’t hesitate to get into the twin cities and suburbs as much as you can - you will have way more high end food options, way more activities for the kids, and way more opportunities for your own socialization. Don’t fall into the St. Cloud mentality of the Twin Cities being 45-60 minutes away meaning you can’t take advantage if it.

Spend some time farther up north when you have time for weekend trips. Rent a cabin up in Bemidji, take the kids to Duluth, get into whatever kind of outdoor winter sports you can put up with. Take the kids tubing at Powder Ridge this winter.

I’m about 75% done with The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe, and about 50% done with Anxious People by Fredrick Backman. I’m enjoying both more than I thought I would.

Halo 3, any of the older guitar hero or rock band games. Or OSRS.

Guitar hero back in the scorehero.com days was peak gaming.

Play any Gloomhaven? I’m in the process right now of resetting my game board to get a new group going and am super excited for it.

Another former reddit user from the Twin Cities here. Enjoying learning about lemmy so far, still trying to figure out how it works! Big fan of disc golf, board games, books, and video games.
