What are you drinking and eating during long Gaming sessions?

[cuttyflam]

I love sunflower seeds and pumpkins seeds, but i have a hard time cracking them open, as my partner only buys the shelled ones. Says they taste better, they are her thing, so i cannot argue as she buys them..... I just eat them >_>

Aldi has bags of them where they're all deshelled, in case you have one near you.

I will let my partner know, but she will say "no i do not know who is de-selling them, they might be giving us all the bad seeds, i will de-shell my own ones"..

I just nod and say, "yes hun". I find i get less agro that way..

Nice, since you air fry a lot, can i ask if your seasoning stuff to go in there when it is ready?

I am an air fryer person also, and i am always sticking sweet potato, parsnips and the like in plastic bags with spices and leaving them in the fridge for a day or so before roasting them in the air fryer.

I have also done this with tofu and meats when i can get some.

When I airfry tater-tots, I'll season them when they're ready.
To be honest, I just do it because the bag told me to haha.
Been thinking about experimenting with a dash of oil spray to make things more crisp.

Just water, unless I bought tea or some soda at work and didn't finish it while I was actually at work. As for food, I don't really eat while I play. If I gotta eat, I'll take a break and go pop something real quick.

My long gaming session usually lasts from 9AM to 2PM.So the food is usually my breakfast and lunch.

Drink is either coffee,tea (no sugar) or 1litre of bottled water.

The issue with finger food is mostly because of the hygienic issues.

I prefer my pad and keyboard to be as clean as possible.

Water (with carbon dioxide) can work.

I like Takis a LOT.

I have water or a flavored seltzer, sometimes a Coke if we got food out or went to the store. We don't usually keep pop in the house.

Water - sometime cheese or fruits

 

[Esidemoken]

Since I don't play online titles I don't need to think about it so much, I eat normally and then continue playing.

Oh man, the mango sounds awesome. My partner used to slice up dried fruit in to a nut and fruit medley, and dried mango was part of it. She hates doing it now,

Drink
Water and Coffee
Eat
Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner
something light in between

And I do it all at a kitchen table before I go back to the PC and game. Disgusting people eat at their PC and I seen it first hand people having loads of crumbles in their keyboard some to the point of having maggots and lots of their letters on the key faded away with allot of use of chips fat filled fingers.

Please eat at dinner table it saves you a keyboard and cleaning and having 10-30 min break will help your mind body and happiness.

Well i think this depends on how bothered one is to maintain, if you clean up after yourself, you could eat at your desk, but i see why you would want to avoid it, nasty things get caught in cracks and can grow things which ware not good for humans.

In my case, i clean my gear once a week with the rest of the house. Keyboard is mechanical, so comes apart and i soak the keys. Wipe down keyboard and the table, which has to be clean for soldering and other circuit work.

We have isopropanol wipes for the pads and the like, and they are wiped down during and after a play session.

Is there a product that dried fruit and nuts beyond just raisins or gogiberries? As that's all i can get here.

Yeah I mean sure if ones cleans once in a while you have to do it weather you eat or not man im fiding hair in my keyboard dang stupid beard and hair loss. But honestly sitting at a table getting a few min away from the screen is what I could say is best for us all. And I know sum of us sits proboly 8+ hours sessions.

Beyond that, l i have been known to cook with Alcohol and it can complement a dish well if heated enough to leave flavor, but the dish is not alcoholic. I admittedly have been known to drink one glass of red when i have a heavy meal.

That's different. Alcohol/fermentation extracts/creates flavors that you cannot get just from ground spice/herbs. Since you mentioned Guinness, that is something you can add to a pan on the stove to to add some good flavor. Even though I don't drink beer, that is something I have done.

I am told red and white are healthy in little amounts and helps with digestion?

No. There is no reason to consume alcohol, it offers no health benefits: there is no vitamin or mineral the body needs that is the result of fermentation.

Not so much vitamins, but what about help towards digestion and the killing of parasites? I am not a doctor by any means, but i have heard this.
