Took a small break from my platinum shenanigans to play a wee bit of Spyro Trilogy before calling it a night. I finished one of the worlds, and now I’ve left off in a world where I have to help babysit turtles. It was a nice colourful getaway before making preparations to sacrifice myself to the darkness in exchange for work energy. I’m gonna need as much of it is I can this week…
Dear Mum, Found A New Contact At The Oasis
I found a secret oil oasis while wandering around in the deserts of NieR Automata, and I found that even in android society you will find drug dealers.
I went through surviving the religious machine suicide mission, well… I only died once. :v Fortunately my body died on a conveyor belt, so I didn’t have to go too far to collect myself. That was pretty much my whole playthrough for the evening. I haven’t felt well for most of the day, so the rest of my time was pretty much spent napping and watching a friend of mine grow watermelons and a bee colony on his virtual boat.
The Weekend Is Finally Here And I’m Ready To Veg
Between a busy work week, poor sleep cycle and extra things to do I’ve been too busy to really enjoy anything. I’m thinking of just taking it easy tomorrow, maybe do a little Pre-Cyber Monday looky-loos on the digital storefronts. I may or may not work on some SFM projects, and if my voice can finally cooperate I’d like to record some voice lines! The lack of sleep has made me sound more hoarse lately. I’m hoping a day of rest brings it back from the dead.
Onto brighter news: I bought my first Bluetooth speaker today! I paid about $37 for a new $180 speaker! I figured at that price I could find purpose for it while looking around for a Bluetooth boombox or internet radio. I haven’t had a chance to test it out yet, but I’ve turned it on and paired it with my devices. I might have to start making some night time themed playlists, something to help me cash in at the bank of Zzzzz’s.
ALL HAIL THE GLOW CLOUD
One of my work buddies recently introduced me to a podcast I had never heard of before, and given the subject matter I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it sooner. It’s called Welcome to Night Vale; A podcast that takes place in an imaginary desert town where things are not quite what they seem, for lack of a better term…
The podcast is basically just a half hour radio show from a fictional town called Night Vale. The host of the show talks about strange oddities and rituals going on throughout the local community as if they were day to day mundane routines. The first episode announces a local dog park, and warns listeners that dogs are not allowed in the dog park, and people are not allowed in the dog park. Later on a few episodes down you meet a giant sentient glow cloud that everyone is afraid of, and eventually it joins the PTA. I think I’m currently on Episode 7? I’ve been listening to the playlist while working on some digital projects. 😛
Bring Forth The Cattle Prod
I was talking with someone at work today about getting along on holiday shopping, and he complained about how hard it is to find time to holiday shop. I know this guy well enough that he has all the tools and services to just do some searches, maybe a little research depending on how deep you want to go, and “click”, done… I would think literally having the internet at your fingertips would make something like making Christmas Shopping more, plausible? I mean if kids can spend their parents hard earned cash on in app phone purchases and Fortnite swag I would think at least one bathroom break could be used to get a special thing for a special someone, that came out wrong…
Of course I’m not perfect either… My problem is that I can order things on time, but can never seem to send things out on time… though a good part of that is trying to get over there sometime between getting off work and them closing. I would send packages during my lunch break, but the local old people like to use it as one of their social clubs, and I don’t want to spend a good part of my lunch break listening to random old people noises and waiting for them to finish so the line can move.
Ah well, first world problems n sheeet.
Pointless Words Of Pointlessness
I’ve been trying to think of what to grab for Friday/Sat breakfast stuffs — tomorrow I’ll be through my weekend leftovers and I’m not in the mood for any breakfast bars or soups. It’s been awhile since I’ve made yogurt parfaits… I might have to make one out of spite. 😛
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…
