@okami i’ll admit i don’t listen to jazz stuff much in my free time, but i’m gonna try to give you some suggestions despite me having more of a hardcore rave/techno/EDM taste in music!these are gonna come from BEMANI’s franchise of rhythm games (so don’t mind the weirdly named subgenres):[ZEN-JAZZ] TOMOSUKE feat. あさき(roughly translates to crude wood?) - 明鏡止水 (Meikyoushisui): https://youtu.be/yZ0Rtk9iH0M[CAT JAZZ] Dormir (TOMOSUKE (ft. lyrics/vocals from crimm)) - にゃんだふる(Nyanderful) 55 marble version: https://youtu.be/usZKxtb3gl0(mostly anything under TOMOSUKE (and his many aliases) can be considered jazz, bossa lounge, and/or house if you wanna check him out)[CLUB JAZZ] SENAX - Betty Boo: https://youtu.be/nwPKvFty_CMno full version exists, but a longer remix (done by SLAKE) does (it sounds less like jazz and more on the club/techno side, so idk if you want that (url goes to the original, not the remix just to clarify))[JAZZ HOUSE] youhei shimizu - mnemoniq: https://youtu.be/TfntG2VS8FQanother very short one that sadly doesn’t have a full version either as this artist left pretty early on the beatmania series (there’s a slightly extended edit, but that one’s fanmade)i have a couple more to suggest that aren’t jazz, but most of ‘em might not suit your taste (since, y’know, it’s subjective):[EURODANCE] Joga - Dam Dariram: https://youtu.be/ktti56_UfdY[EUROBEAT] Judy Crystal - Tokyo All Ready: https://youtu.be/x1_PoISN1Ac[ROCK’N TECHNO] COZY KUBO - CLUB 115: https://youtu.be/3xIEuf5TSeYthis is already a lot i’m suggesting, so here you go! again, i don’t really listen to jazz much cuz i’m picky, so yeah

@okamiEntering Booth #5 Day 3This is instrumental music, from ElevenWav https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JHKR4KqQX9Mhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=whzK8h3_H3Yhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ulUrC4Q3HCUhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vMkdRies3esThis is good background music to listen to while you’re playing video games.

@okami Oh man, music recommendations! I don't listen to much jazzy stuff, but I feel like some of Alexz Johnson's older stuff has a pretty good jazz-vibe to it. Pleased To Meet You- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMiJrIbIGeoWalking- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSUjtCnhXyUAnd I can't *not* recommend Within Temptation, though they may not be what you usually like (same here, actually).

Booth #5:(first of all, i have to say, "whut" LMAO regardless of which ones are true, HOW have you been bitten by such animals?! im wondering now what kind of wild life you live! haha)my guess is...that the sloth is a lie! 😊
heatherm19 • 27 July 2023 at 2:08 AM
@okami Okay, you *are* going to give us the stories about these bites, right? Because I'm very curious! A giraffe I can kinda get, as I grew up going to the zoo a lot and they can be very 'playfully-nippy'. But a porcupine? I'd have to guess that's the lie. And yay! I'm glad you liked my recommendation, her voice is so soothing to me.
sartre • 27 July 2023 at 2:41 AM
@okami Entering Booth #5 Day 4This was a hard one because I’ve seen all these animals bite or nip at people. But I picked Giraffe.🦒
mr-blue-bones • 27 July 2023 at 2:49 AM
@okami Booth #5 Day 4I think you haven't been bitten by a porcupine! 😃
opalquinze • 27 July 2023 at 7:22 AM
@okami gonna assume that getting bit by a sloth is the lie, but who knows?glad you really enjoy the “cat jazz” song (cuz seeing “nyanderful” in a title got a chuckle out of me)!(slightly unrelated to day 4 of booth 5, the art contest section hasn’t been updated with my entry url i posted a few days ago, so sorry if this comes off as rude)
mythisea • 27 July 2023 at 7:31 AM
@okami I love today's theme LOL I have no idea which one's a lie. I'll guess it's the porcupine!Congrats to the winners yesterday ❤️
jlya • 27 July 2023 at 12:49 PM
@okamiYou are skilled at being bitten by bizarre animals xD That's tough but I'm going to guess Porcupine!
wonder404exe • 27 July 2023 at 12:57 PM
@okamii forgot it starts on 24th @@I can still join right?im gonna guess porcupine. >w>

@okami💖Booth #5: Day 4💖I can see getting bit by a giraffe! I can imagine someone (perhaps you) being on a safari, where you get to feed the animals as you go (while staying safe in the car). Those giraffes want their food so bad when you're holding it out in front of them and a finger does have the same shape as a baby carrot... So truth for giraffe.I also can see getting bit by a porcupine! You really have to be careful with those smaller animals, you pet them the wrong way and they start munchin' on the first thing they see... So truth for porcupine.I've heard that sloths don't like to be touched, so I don't think that you'd be in a position to hold one of them. But then again, are there places that let people hold a sloth? Not too sure, but something has to be the lie... So lie for sloth!
snowywinter • 27 July 2023 at 1:44 PM
Guessing for Booth #5 - Day 4@okami So fun trying to imagine all these scenarios! Each certainly hold their own for possibilities for and against...but I'm going to go with Giraffe (as the lie). ^^I'm going through my head of all the neat creatures I've had the privilege of being around and I'm having a hard time coming up with any of them that have actually bit me. ...It's the darn domestic critters ya gotta watch out for. >.< (So much for putting my own 2T&aL out there for the fun of it. Who knows, maybe it'll come to me later. Would be a fun thread to try resurrecting in the Games Section. ^^)

@okami Being paid to be around animals, lucky you! Booth #5 Day 5 You have no idea how long it took me to put this together, don't think I've ever actually written a recipe before. This is one of the only 'from scratch' type of things I make. Mom's MeatloafIngredients: lean ground beef (we use 3 pounds for plenty of leftovers), saltine crackers (1 package), 2 cans Diced Tomatoes with Jalapenos, 1 celery stick diced, 1 green bell pepper diced , 2 green onion sticks diced, a few splashes of worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, 2 large eggs, garlic powder (amount depends on preferences)Instructions:1. Prep the celery, bell pepper, and onion. Chunks are okay but finely diced is better. 2. Crunch up the saltine crackers until there are no large pieces3. Put beef in large bowl and add 1 can diced tomatoes, then eggs, then the crackers, then the prepped veggies. 4. Add worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, and garlic power, then mix everything well (we just do it by hand with gloves on)5. (optional) Add 2nd can of tomatoes if the mixture looks dry or too lumpy. 6. Scoop into a grill pan or aluminum baking pan (make sure it has raised sides so grease/juice doesn't drip out during cooking)7. Cook in oven for 1 hour at 350 degrees, then check by separating a bit in the middle with a utensil. If not done to your liking, put back in for 15 minutes at a time until ready. (Using 3 pounds of beef gives enough leftovers for 4-5 meals *and* a good amount to freeze for later.)

@okami Those sound like adventures!! and clearly you got great stories out of it hahaCongrats @jlya!!For today, I'm not much of a cook to be honest. There is one recipe I love though - crockpot turkey and dressing. You throw in turkey, dressing crumbles, a few other things including a TON of butter, and it comes out delicious with minimal work. My partner and I go all in and do an easy green bean casserole + storebought mashed potatoes + canned cranberry sauce (for him) when we do it. We had an easy-to-make American Thanksgiving in June last month and it was delicious ❤️

@okamiYay!! I can't believe I won! Thank you so much ❤️Zookeeping and wildlife rehabilitation both sound like wonderful jobs ^^ How cool you get to work with so many different animals!That garlic chicken sounds delightful!I took 2 years of culinary classes so I've got recipes 😉 I've got a massive sweet tooth so my favorite is creme brulee with real vanilla beans~❤️ HIGHLY recommend. But since the instructions are long I'll share the BEST ever recipe for biscuits, because everyone needs a good comfort carb ^^-360 grams all purpose flour-1 1/2 tsp salt-1 tbsp baking powder-1 tbsp sugar-85-126 grams butter, cold-225-250 grams milkInstructions:-Preheat oven to 425F.-Measure the dry ingredients into a medium-sized bowl. Whisk them thoroughly to evenly disperse the ingredients.-Cut in chunks of the butter. Use your fingers to blend the two, pressing the butter chunks and flour together until the butter chunks are about the size of a pea.-Pour in the milk and blend together with a fork until just together but still a little scraggly. Remove the dough to a counter lightly dusted with flour and knead until the dough is together. Do not over-knead-Roll dough to thickness of 3/4 inch and cut into circles-Place the biscuits on parchment and bake at 425F until the biscuits begin to get golden brown on the top (here's an example of what they should look like: https://www.agefotostock.com/age/en/details-photo/rustic-handmade-biscuits-sit-on-a-metal-pan-after-coming-out-of-the-oven/ESY-033800450)

@okami Eeeeeekk I won?! Yaaaayyy!! I just told my mom her meatloaf recipe won and she's excited, lol. Booth #5, Day 6This is going to be a totally random and clueless guess because I don't know much about the differences in the Hogwarts houses... Ravenclaw?
sartre • 29 July 2023 at 2:31 AM
@okamiEntering Booth #5, Day 6 Hufflepuff 🦡
opalquinze • 29 July 2023 at 7:05 AM
@okami gonna guess Hufflepuff as well!
mythisea • 29 July 2023 at 8:48 AM
Congrats Heather!!@okami I'm going to go different from the above people and guess Slytherin. Represent!
snowywinter • 29 July 2023 at 12:42 PM
@okamiBooth #5, Day 6My initial reaction was Gryffindor - Just a gut thing, and I could see it, you have your moments of boldness, and isn't bravery more about overcoming our fears than the lack there of? lol. But all in all it's sort of a catch all when my brain can't immediately pinpoint someone's house with certainty. >.<Then I figured you remind me of myself with the warm Hufflepuff fuzzies - shy & nice.But that felt too easy, so then I was like 'perhaps Ravenclaw? She is intelligent after all' ^^I almost dismissed Slytherin altogether, but cleverness goes hand in hand with intelligence, and most of my friends identify as Slytherin (despite me raising an eyebrow at about 50% of them, I just don't see it for many of the qualities, even the extended lists. Not you, my other peeps.)In the end (and I'm sort of tossing a dart at the wall here,) but I'm going to go with Ravenclaw as my final answer. Y'know, since Blue is in the house colors 😉(Oh c'mon, even if I'm wrong, you have to admit it's funny : P)- - - - - - - - - - -Fun fact: This Booth-day is just two days off from Harry Potter's Birthday ^^
jlya • 29 July 2023 at 4:43 PM
@okamiI bet the others are right with Ravenclaw, but I'm going to take a risk and guess Gryffindor. Just a gut guess 😊
wonder404exe • 29 July 2023 at 6:16 PM
@okamii know nothing about Harry Potter and Hogwarts that much (i have played 2 games about the Harry Potter universe but still no clue of the houses)...Gryffindor??second thought could be Ravenclawno maybe Hufflepuff??UGH Slytherinstill going with Gryffindor because i have no idea

Woot! i won one! : D Thank you @okami 😊(and it was fun reading all the different guesses ^^ )Well, i think i'll sit the last day of Booth 5 out. Good luck everyone who enters! ❤️
heatherm19 • 30 July 2023 at 2:02 AM
Booth #5, Day 7Wait what? How on earth am I suppose to pick a favorite memory? There are so many. So so many. I love this place so much. ❤️ I feel like my favorite memories are probably some of my 'firsts', the first wishlist creature I got (Laika), the first CC travel I bought (St. Patrick's Day Hat), etc.... Hmm. Actually, I think I'll say last year's Halloween Fair. It was the first Eggcave event I was *really* around for (I was here for Ark Victory last year but wasn't totally invested in it...) and I was just so excited and so impressed with all the different things to do. And how much work obviously goes on behind the scenes for something like that. (I also think it was that event/time that really cemented the fact that Eggcave was my 'new home' in terms of online games, and that I had fallen out of love with the game that'd previously had my loyalty.)
