Since everyone is on the topic of food, do you have a favorite food? Or something you tend to snack on a lot?
I like sautéed reindeer a lot, I think it's been my favorite dish for a good while now. With mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam. Creamy salmon soup too. I've eaten roasted moose just a couple of times but it was one of the best things I've tasted. Unfortunately it's expensive, I can't really justify splurging that much on delicacy meats. When I'm getting takeout I tend to default to sushi, Subway or Chinese.
Snacks, uhh... Lately I've been eating various yoghurts on a daily basis I guess? I don't eat tons of candy or salty snacks, if I'm buying a little treat for myself I'm going with a cinnamon roll, voisilmäpulla or some other pastry. I also like trying various seasonal and imported sodas.

"Dog Nightmares" best friend stimboard

Banner
Speculation (spoilers!) + uncanny imagery below
TLDR: I think the Wegman thing is on Emily's side.
I don't think this thing is evil or necessarily ill-meant, even. I just think about
the timeline
growing up and moving on just as a concept
"was she just forgetful? ... or was she in trouble?"
how her drawings/pictures of Bailey seem "corrupted" but she seems unaware
how calm she is when she encounters the entity in the stairhole despite its goddamn horrific appearance
how unfazed she is by getting a Wegman birthday card from her friend despite everything, and how delighted she is by getting a Wegman movie from said friend
her fixation with the tapes altogether
the captions in the creator's own AMV of the series ("Do you think I did it?")
the creator's choice of clips relative to the lyrics in the AMV
the ending sequence of "My New Best Friend" when the Wegman thing is speaking to her via the tapes... "Be honest, do you think that the dog is still out there?"...
those final flickering shots we see of the thing toward the end of that scene... its expression... its gestures in those shots (as seen in my chosen center image)...
... and then Emily seeming to understand or realize something and drop her photo in shock
Something about this thing having malice toward Emily doesn't add up. It's actually starting to read like an "old toy/imaginary friend not wanting to be forgotten but also caring for the person and trying to reach out" narrative.
I wonder if the Wegman thing's involvement in the disappearance of Bailey and/or Emily's friend is a red herring and the thing is actually trying to warn her.
Think about this. All the "bait" clips? What if the Wegman thing is showing that to warn her that something else is trying to lure her? Why would it show her the bait clips if IT was baiting HER? It wouldn't want to monologue its own ~evil plan~ to her like that right? Same deal with the "I thought I heard a sound" / "over here... over here..." clips.
Also. the Wegman thing wouldn't need to kill her dog or steal her friend to "lure" her somewhere. It already has her trust-- that's established by her calm reception of it in her househole, calling it her best friend, and continued fixation on the thing as a whole. It would just have to ask her to go somewhere with it, no kidnapping required (well... except for her LMAO)
The posters of Bailey disappearing, the evident "corruption" of the drawings and photos of him, the "Be honest, do you think that the dog is still out there?" line? Clearly the Wegman thing is trying to get her to let go of Bailey, stop holding onto the hope that he's still out there. What if it's trying to discourage and scare her into giving up the search -- even if he IS still alive -- so that she isn't lured by whatever's really baiting her?
Like. She is NOT afraid of this thing, not remotely unsettled even after all this time and all this shit. In other analog horror series like TMC, Gemini, & Backrooms; the characters are dead afraid of the supernatural entities and occurrences because. no shit?? So Emily's total lack of apprehension about this dogman thing is baffling and even off-putting. Literally in the video "1/04/2009" she's just like "look at this weird quirk that happened in the tape! :D" and the glitch is goddamn nightmare fuel for any normal person
She clearly understands her social world through a sort of animal lens -- evidenced by her paper cutouts of various animal heads pasted over the faces of people in the scrapbook -- so I can kind ? of see where she's coming from? But no amount of being a furry is gonna make a child completely unfazed when they see THIS inside the walls of their house (walls which -- may I remind you -- they are ALREADY established to be TERRIFIED OF).
and again-- please look at the expression on this thing. Whenever we see it, there's this... deep anguish in its face. The thing is utterly forlorn. Hell, it almost looks like it's crying in the very first video:
And the fact that those sunken eyes almost make the face look like a mask on a human... and with her understanding of the world around her as animals...
hell what if she just perceives this otherwise-nebulous-form-having entity to look like a dog because she understands things as animals... or even because she was already so interested in the Wegman d... or just because it communicates with her via the W...? *unintelligible muttering*
man I dunno. All I'm saying is there's no way this thing is malevolent. It's protecting her. I think it is her friend.

When the Curtis parents passed away, Darry had been trying and leaning how to cook his Mom’s recipes so he could make his brothers happy. (I personally think food is one of his love languages) Anyways the first or second time he tried to make a recipe the gang went over for dinner, Dally made a comment about how it wasn’t good, how it was dry, something like that. Pony and Soda froze up because they knew how hard Darry was trying to cook. Darry was pissed but also so hurt.
oh wait no :( pony had soda were so mad and soda actually snapped he was like ‘if you don’t like it then don’t eat it and get the fuck out of my house’ (like even johnny was sending him dirty looks and trust me, when johnny is giving you dirty looks you know you fucked up) and after dally left the rest of the gang continued eating it even if it was really bad just because they didn’t want darry to think he wasn’t doing it right. i feel like their mom taught him the basics but it took a lot for him to be able to cook for three teenage boys (trust me teenage boys can eat a lot) but he’s obviously not perfect at it…neither of them eat a word when it is bad though. they’ll just eat it because they don’t want to see that look of absolute hurt in darry’s eyes like they did that one night.
dally can’t talk about cooking though. he fucked up spaghetti and meatballs to the point literally everybody in the gang got food poisoning except him. pony and soda were understandable because their stomachs are sensitive as fuck but darry and johnny could digest a can if they wanted. especially johnny like i know johnny has eaten literal garbage but somehow dally’s cooking was the limit

Hi Gracie, I'm hoping you might have some advice for me. My colonists are starving, because I have more people than I know how to feed. Is there any way I can tell them to stop feeding their meals to the animals?
They keep cooking meals, feeding the meals to the animals, and then eating raw meat and being sad about it!
It's mostly the dogs they're feeding the meals to, too, because the haygrass finally grew enough for the pen animals. And dogs can eat raw meat just fine, so it would make way more sense to feed the dogs the meat instead.
(I am trying to solve the underlying problem by 1. assigning more people to plants so they will sow the fields my current farmers are apparently neglecting, and 2. increasing the population cap of my animals so that they produce more excess, but both these things take time and in the meantime they are constantly running out of food and I'm hunting pretty much every wild animal that wanders onto the map to keep my colonists alive.)
Hello! I have this issue a lot, too. Those silly colonists want to prioritise their beloved animals over their own comfort, which is sweet, but very airheaded of them.
I can usually stop animals from eating meals on their own by simply changing their allowed areas to prevent them from accessing the fancy "people food", but it gets trickier when tending to injured animals or training them.
I have found a mod called 'Animal Controls' on the Steam Workshop which says it adds animal food restrictions, however, I haven't had a chance to test it out myself yet so I'm afraid I can't vouch for its effectiveness. Perhaps I'll test it out in my next RimWorld game!

Prof. Egghead: IIIIII, PROFESSOR EGGHEAD, DEMAND TO BE SERVED THE FLESH OF A DEAD ANIMAL BETWEEN TWO BUNS OF PROCESSED WHEAT.
Average creepypasta watcher: oh he wants a regular burger.
Me, an intellectual: no I think he literally just wants to be given a chunky slab of unseasoned barely cooked/raw meat between two pieces of bread without sauce, lettuce or anything. Like-
