Re: Tell me your favorite twitter follow
Strongly recommend pairing twitter follows way down. I was following too many people the first time around and it got super negative all of the time. I don't follow the auto retweeted like woj/shams etc...they just get retweeted when something big happens anyway. As for best follows: bball: @C2_Coop...

Re: Swamp Cooking Thread
I made this ramen tonight. It turned out pretty good in spite of my best attempts to mess it up across multiple fronts.
The vegan part of this is entirely optional, I used chicken broth and it was quite good.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Arcane on Netflix is very good. It was developed with the game League of Legends but knowing and/or liking LoL has nothing to do with the show. Strongly recommend.
Note: it's definitely not for young children, not that there are many of those in the swamp these days.

UW coach Jimmy Lake -- Sacked! Yeah I don't agree with this. Dylan Morris was not good. The run defense is bad. 1 QB and a bad rushing defense for one season shouldn't get a coached sacked.

Re: Video Games Thread (See first post for Swamper handles)
If you have Xbox game pass (it's a dollar right now for both PC/Xbox) the streaming feature is pretty sweet. I didn't try and play anything that requires really good internet, but it was sweet loading up a game that would normally be a multi hour download and just start playing it.
