I'm a pretty big fan of Dark and Darker! Will admit, the randoms from the Discord are... Questionable at best lol. Would definitely be happy to roll with ya whenever you're not streaming, though! PM me your deets!

Hexbear almost made me quit Lemmy entirely until I figured out I could just block whole communities. So there's that. Lol.

Meant to reply earlier, but it was a hell of a week. I did manage to pick up the cigar you mentioned (on mobile, not gonna try and spell it and totally butcher the spelling), as well as another similar cigar recommended by the clerk in charge of the humidor.

Was definitely enjoyable! Didn't go so great with bourbon, but I liked them both! Oddly enough, the second one went with some pink lemonade, and the sour contrast kinda added to the whole experience.

Anyways, that's my layman's casual take on dipping my feet into real cigars. Thank you for the recommendation!

I'll end up voting for Biden. Not psyched about it, but pragmatically the alternative is so much worse. Might get shit from the ultratankies and hexbros, but I'd rather do damage control than whine about Biden and do nothing while an actual fascist snakes his way back in.

It doesn't feel good. And it isn't good. But this is the reality we live in at the moment.

Awesome! I'll try and hit up my local spot this weekend and see if they've got something in stock!

I have questions! I'm a pretty big fan of the punchy and sweet flavors of the cheapo Backwoods and similar cigarillos. If I wanted to make the jump into something that's actually decent/respectable quality, where would I start? As a side reference, I consider black cavendish pipe tobacco to be my ultimate personal blend. Other than that, the only thing I don't enjoy is the harsher bitter/coffee flavors. So any recommendations would be awesome!

It's generic gas-station garbage but a Backwoods sometimes hits the spot. Best paired with cheap beer and junk food.

Alright. I been afraid to ask for fear of getting banned from other communities hosted on their instance, but what is the deal with hexbear? The chat community seems like satire, but it gives off the same kind of vibes as the_donald, just far-left instead of far right. Like, I consider myself a lefty, but their community just seems self-destructive and toxic. Maybe that's the point, though? Honestly unsure, and afraid to ask on their instance cuz I don't wanna get accused of "just asking questions" and banned.

Fellow introvert. Don't really know what to say other than this post tracks. The value of just "being" is really important.

Hope your week is well. And everyone who reads this, too.

Gonna throw in my vote for the tail-end of fall. When it's almost-but-not-quite winter, and every morning is chilly and frosty. There's something really peaceful about the quietness of it. And it tends to be right in-between major holidays, so the break from "being present" is kinda nice, too.

Also tends to coincide with pumpkin spice season. Despite all the recent negativity about it in recent years pumpkin spiced everything is an absolute favorite of mine.
