  • I’m enjoying the game but I only play with friends. After the initial hours spent figuring out how to play together (of which there are still a myriad of issues and hurdles - a true Monster Hunter staple), we’ve been having a lot of fun together.

    I’m no Monster Hunter vet or anything like that. I’ve played previous Monster Hunters, but Wilds is the first I’ve played until credits rolled.

    I knew what to expect going into it. I knew not to expect seamless coop play. Don’t not expect any captivating story (I skip most of the dialogue, and don’t really know why I’m killing the monsters half of the time). Do expect a convoluted inventory system and interface.

    Really, all I’m here for is to slay monsters with friends and occasionally scroll through a bad inventory list, applying a few wrong potions or antidotes before finding the right one.



















  • The red part is the Chinese Sausage. I’ve only seen this kind in grocery stores but they are all of this variety. This kind hails from southern China. I’m sure there are other types, but this is the most prevalent variety.

    In Cantonese, this is called “lap cheong”. In my minor dialect of Chinese, it’s called “gong chiang”.

    It’s salty with a sweet vinegary flavor. There’s usually marbled fat throughout the sausage. The bite is chewier than a standard Italian sausage, more like jerky but not as dry.

    It was my bacon growing up and my family used it as such. It’s delicious and every time I have it, I’m transported back to my childhood. But I try to stay away from heavily processed foods and leaning more vegetarian/vegan as I’m approaching seniority.

    Filipinos have a sausage with a similar taste profile called Longganisa. It’s usually more stout in shape and more tender than a Chinese Sausage.
