Tomodachi life citra. On the other half of the plate place a handful of torn lettuce topped with fresh cilantro or Italian parsley plus a few cherry or grape tomatoes on the side. Take a bite of your finished loco moco & see if it makes you rocket into space with yumminess or melt into the floor from yuck.
The Top Ten Worst Things About Tomodachi Life. 1 Miis break up. Even when it's a couple you WANTED to break up, the whole sequence is extremely sad. Jun 06, 2014 Life sims typically have a core gameplay goal of self-improvement and progression, but in Tomodachi Life, that thread is virtually non-existent. Each Mii has a happiness rating, which you can attempt to boost by spoiling them with gifts, food, clothing and interior decorations, but there's no guarantee that they'll actually like your offerings.

Shirogane: There's no need to study for exams. There should be no problems if you're studying right along. Last-minute cramming is absurd. You'll just wreck your health.
Narrator: That was a lie. This young man has even taken a leave of absence from his part-time job so he could stay up studying in the ten nights before the test.
Kaguya: That's a good point. Tests are a reflection of your own abilities. Even if you push yourself hard and get a decent score, that doesn't predict the future. The best thing to do is take it in a relaxed manner.
Narrator: That was a lie. This young lady is taking the finals extremely seriously.
Ishigami: I'm studying hard for finals this time around. Well, I'm going home to study.
Narrator: That was a lie. This young man only wants to continue playing the video game he bought recently. He has the nerve to buy a game right before exams.
[..]
Kaguya: And the amount you study won't necessarily translate into higher scores. Not studying is indeed a viable choice.
Narrator: Lies.
Shirogane: That's right. Instead of studying, in the days before a test, I just sit cross-legged and focus on the subject.
Narrator: Lies.
Fujiwara: I see. Understood. I won't study!
Narrator: She's serious.

My eyes settled on their dining room table. There was a stack of money, wrapped with a paper band just as the money in the lunchbox had been. Beside the money, plain as day, was the dark gray metal of a handgun.
My attention caught by the gun, I only barely caught my dad's question. 'What are they like?'
'They seem like good people.'

Sundancer looked at the mound of ice, rock and forcefields. Echidna was thrusting her clawed hands through the barriers, only for them to be reinforced.
'Are there.. does she have anyone inside her?'
'There's-' Tattletale started. I flew a bug into her mouth and down her throat, and she choked.
'No,' I lied. 'I've been keeping track with my bugs. Weld and the others got everyone out.'
Saved everyone they could. If Weld had backed out and nobody else was able to free the small handful that were still trapped, that was it.
Nobody was correcting me. They knew, but they weren’t correcting me.

Hobbie: Boss, please tell me you're not putting us in women's clothing.
Wedge: Very well. I'm not putting us in women's clothing.
(In the next chapter, the four pilots are in women's clothing)
Hobbie: You lied to me.
Wedge: I did. With my brilliant achievements in the diplomatic profession has come the realization that lies can be powerful motivators.
Hobbie: My faith is shattered.
Wedge: You knew, when I said we needed four sets of women's clothing, that we were going to end up in them. You knew. So any hopes you had to the contrary were just self-delusion.
Hobbie: I understand that. But I'd rather blame you than me.

Shcherbina: Why did I see graphite on the roof? Graphite is only found in the core where it's used as a neutron flux modulator, (addressing Legasov) correct?
Bryukhanov: (looks at Shcherbina with an 'Oh, fuck!' sort of facial expression, then turns to Fomin) Fomin, why did the Deputy Chairman see graphite on the roof?
Fomin: Well, that.. that can't be. Comrade Shcherbina, my apologies, but graphite.. that's not possible. Perhaps you saw burnt concrete?
Shcherbina: Now there, you made a mistake, because I may not know much about nuclear reactors, but I know a lot about concrete.
I'll just go in this police box and arrest myself.Bryukhanov: (looks at Shcherbina with an 'Oh, fuck!' sort of facial expression, then turns to Fomin) Fomin, why did the Deputy Chairman see graphite on the roof?

Jade: (comes out alone, completely deadpan) It seems the earthquakes have led to more frequent avalanches. Also, an extremely powerful monster has taken up residence in the deeper parts. The monsters in the area have likely grown aggressive due to at influence.
