I discovered the wonderful relationship between nachos and gaming many years ago. Recently I thought of how CoH/V have elements of 'doing something then waiting' in its gameplay, so snacks work their way in pretty easily. I'm quite fond of pitaschios and a nice cold black tea. If I'm playing for more than an hour or two, I like to have more than one thing to snack on. Or if I'm on auto pilot, I'll eat a meal and play while watching a movie or something like that.Β

What about you?

Sometimes its simply water and nuts (almonds) and sometimes its coffee and Red Vines, biting the tips off and using it as a straw until i cease to be amused.

Β 

And when I am on a TF its animal crackers and milk and maybe gummi bears too (Especially on Yin).

Β 

Also for the recond, you can suck nacho cheese through a Red Vine straw; whole new dynamic πŸ™‚

Animal crackers are awesome! I used to love eating red licorice when I'd get them in MREs, specifically the Red Vine brand.Β

Rum! Wait, that's not a snack.

Vodka! Wait, that's only considered a food item in Russia.

I'm bad at this!

What about Spaghetti 🍝??

Not a lot, but for drinking it tends to be coffee and a GnT, and anything eating has to be clean, not messy for the fingers I may have to jump to my KB and mouse with in a split second, so, maybe like cherries???

Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game...

I've taken to grabbing a pair of microfiber towels for use at my computer desk. One for cleaning the dust off of my monitors and the other for getting the chip and snack dust off my fingers lol

I don't usually snack while I game. My boy on the other hand loves his flaming hot chips. Then he goes into the bathroom and instead of washing his hands he scrubs them with the hand towels by the sink. Ever shave and then wipe your face with flaming hot cheeto dust?

Usually have a carbonated water, coffee or tea when I am playing COH. As in the downtime I am swapping the vinyl putting some more music on.

LOL, I actually have those, and I did buy them on Amazon. (They came 3 to a pack, so I gave the other 2 away to family members.) TheyΒ  work great and I use them when gaming and eating crunchy Cheetos. Usually my game snack is a huge bowl of popcorn.

I go through snack epochs.Β  Right now we're in the 7th Age of Pretzel Rods but we're due to transition to the 5th Age of Slightly Overbaked Oyster Crackers.Β  Have to do dustless snacks free of adornment because I alternate between playing vidya games and bass/guitar; I hate crumb gum more than I like flavor variants.Β Β

I'm very old and the amount of snacks I'm allowed to eat (if I don't wanna die sooner rather than later) has been reduced to fancy trail mix

they don't actually make the trail mix I like so I have to purchase all the components separately

Β 

Sun Dried Mulberries (seriously good)

Sun Dried Strawberries (Yum)

Sun Dried Gooseberries (fantastic)

Β 

Raw Smoked almonds (I gotta make these myself)

Salted Pistachios (shelled of course)

HazelnutsΒ 

Β 

Occasionally I cannot find one of the ingredients and I have to supplement to get that chewy/crunchy ratio back

In those cases I use Sun dried blueberries and or Apple Cinnamon cheerios (never apple jacks)

coconut and chocolate have too much saturated fats for me but ymmv. Enjoy! πŸ™‚Β
