Yeah, I’ve got nothing…

Lazy Bibimbap Quinoa Breakfast Bowl
I tried my hand at making a Bibimbap Quinoa Breakfast Bowl over the weekend a few things I had lying around, and it turned out to my liking! Bibimbap is a Korean food, usually consisting of seasoned vegetables over rice, and is usually topped with a fried egg and slices of meat (usually beef) and served with a Korean pepper or soy sauce. The best part about these bowls is how easy it is to make them. I used a couple cups of broth for the quinoa, and then I took an assortment of vegetables and put them in a bamboo steamer until they were tender (about 8 or 10 minutes). Then I assembled the platter of quinoa and veggies, topped it with a fried egg and drizzled some Bibimbap sauce. Fortunately I made enough to last me through half the work week! I have a few microwavable bowls that happen to be perfect for this kind of breakfast! I made a Puerh Chai to go along with it tomorrow — I’ll need all of the energy I can get.
Continuing My Adventures in NieR Automata
I spent the gaming part of the weekend in the world of NieR Automata — continuing to find quests and other strange things I didn’t catch during my previous playthrough as 2B. Father Servo is at a level where I need to buff up a bit before I can butt fuck him up the dick, I got to meet a man that literally wanted to build a family, destroyed machines with a giant pig, and I found the grave of the baby king that someone beat me to killing.
I was chatting with a co-worker about playing this over my vacation, and he told me he couldn’t get into the game because it just didn’t make sense… I don’t think it’s supposed to, and for some reason it actually works.
Lay My Weary Head To Rest
Spent the better part of the evening playing around in SFM and Krita. I wanted to play a game, but I’ve been at that halfway point of being too tired to do much but too awake to fall asleep. I think I’ve reached my limit, finally…
Educational Value
Someone at work had the TV in the breakroom on a documentary about the Yakuza, and not once did I see any diapers or karaoke.
I am disappoint.
A Morty Appears
I was going through my camera, and I forgot about this little gem:
It’s almost like he’s flipping a sideways bird. 😛
Evening Open Thread
Feeling pretty chill after a long day, discuss things if you wish. I’m enjoying the scent of watermelon and cherry blossoms, and I can’t think of anything else to write.

Planning Ahead
I’ll have at least one more video to release in December. That will make a total of six videos for the entire year, last year it was only three! After December I probably won’t be releasing anything for awhile — I want to tackle some videos that could be perfect for seasonal reasons, and if I give myself some time and room to work it could turn out to be quite the ride! I’d like to release what I’m currently working on by next month, but with what I want to put into it I don’t think I would make it by the holiday. Of course, this just means that I’ll have plenty of time to get it all prepped for the next season! I already wrote an intro, now I just need to extract the animation audio, build the scenes, and it’ll be ret-2-go!
Now, to rest and hopefully do a little more tomorrow.
Android Drugs Are Bad M’Kay
Today was the last day… I readied my tea for work tomorrow, laid out my clothes, dotted my i’s etc, etc… I did manage to play a little more NieR Automata before the end of my evening, just as one last nice sendoff before heading back into that reality place. It was good to get away for a small time, just to focus and clear my head before an unpredictable season of asshats hits for the holidays. That said I’ll need to start getting things together for the holidays myself! Something, something care-packages…
NieRing The End Of My Vacation
It was a cold afternoon, and it only felt right to heat the living room with a proper game. I’ve been playing through NieR Automata, this time taking my time on the 2B story-line to make sure I get as many quests out of the way as possible. I’ve already found a couple characters that I don’t remember seeing on my previous playthrough:
I was hopping from building to building, when I noticed in the distance a lone machine on a neighbouring rooftop. When making the jump over a surrounding barrier surrounded us with the puny machine. After kicking his ass he introduces himself as Father Servo; a lone machine monk, and this rooftop is his dojo. He’s already sent me on a few quests as “payment” for the ass kicking that he kept asking of 2B and 9S. Every time I doubled back around in between side quests I would usually find a bigger more badass Father Servo:
This last fight took a bit of grinding! Fortunately I had a lot of supplies on hand to deliver a proper beating. I’ve already left him with parts to make himself even stronger than before, so I imagine the next time I pay him a visit he’ll fully cripple my hands from all the button pressing…
This was another character I missed on my previous playthrough, probably because of the bit of grinding required to finish it and other quests being closer. We had to collect enough parts to reawaken a giant machine lifeform by the name of Engels, who at this stage, seems harmless enough to the point of being bored and wanting you to tell him a story. I’d like to continue this, but I need to start getting my body out of vampire mode, and back into early riser mode for Tuesday.
It was another nice little escape. 🙂
