Happy January 6th, to all who celebrate
 

Anyone else in DC today? What time do we get started?

Ill get started by saying its stupid to even celebrate that day, 5 years later.

Pretty sure there's not much to do on January sixth in Washington until 2029. Although, this time the incumbent president can't legally run for re-election, so I don't think there is going to be an excuse this time.

... Anyway, today is Epiphany day however, which is an official holiday here in Sweden. So let's just say that's what this thread is for.

Yes, we call it Three Kings Day. Happy Holidays!

I am celebrating January 6th of course. It's King's Day. Epiphany. Eating a traditional Rosca de Reyes.

It's not a holiday here despite the date being well known. We usually eat Bolo Rei(King's Cake) on this day.

I'm not a fan of this cake, though.

Do you hide a little baby Jesus in it?

Dunno if that's a joke or if it's code word for something else, but I'm gonna say... no. :P

:lol: no I was for real.

My wife’s family is Cajun, and down there they bake a little baby Jesus toy into the King cake and whoever gets that slice has to buy/bake the cake next year. They’re also really good, so y’all must be making them wrong lol

Oh... well the kind of cake I posted is just the Portuguese variation of a cake that's eaten on this day across several different countries in the world. Each country will have its own variation of it, and sounds like that's what happens in the Cajun variation of it.

And I don't think most kids would want a baby Jesus toy anyway.

When the police invite us inside again.

Happy Día de los Reyes Magos!

Rosca de reyes can be different depending on the country, Spain's and Mexico's vary a bit. And yes they do put a baby jesus plastic figure or sometimes a whole nativity scene and their collectable, or someitmes they make them out of chocolate so you can eat them.

non catholic countries would never understand the importance of today

There he is!

Yep, Dia de Los Tres Reyes. Back in Mexico we used to throw a party and have The Rosca with a little figure hidden somewhere in there. Whoever gets the slice with the figure gets to throw the next party.


Also it's Cammy's birthday so I played with her for a few hours in Street Fighter 6 today.

OH those cakes, that some people put the plastic baby in. That explains a lot why some guy in a store, not knowing I'm strictly a card company employee, asked if I knew where he might find a bag full of babies. Me: "A what now??" a bit baffled after being so focused on getting Christmas taken down and switched out with Valentines in my many stores. :tlol:

Cammy's cakes?

Damn I better coom for our waifu also then

Wait, Chuck Schumer actually held a J6 vigil today? That's crazy.

The candlelight vigil is so damn funny. Omg lol

Today's Christmas Day in some Christian churches

Cammy rules, indeed. Mai's birthday was also a little bit ago.

Well... those of you who are insane can always hold a 'vigil' and really bring 'awareness' to the 'darkest day in our nation's history'.

:lol:

Honestly, there are some of you here whom I hope actually spends your time doing this.

I have no idea how giving Cammy more clothes made her hotter but Capcom somehow did it. If SF2/4 Cammy was a snack, SF6 Cammy was the full course meal.

I don't know what's with the trend of fighting games since Mortal Kombat X to age up their regular cast. Some people are even starting to speculate that Li Fen will eventually replace Chun-Li in future Street Fighter titles.

That's insane, imo. Why would Capcom "retire" such an iconic character as Chun-Li and replace her with the girl she adopted?

The thing about fiction is that you can get away without aging characters. There's no way Capcom will retire the Street Fighter II cast eventually. They will reboot the story like Mortal Kombat did after 11 and make everyone younger again.

Anyway, I don't mind the redesigns in SF6, but I prefer using the classic Chun-Li outfit by far. Cammy is one of the few exceptions of someone who's SF6 outfit is on par with her SFII outfit.
