In Today’s Episode Of Breakfast: Bacon Will Be Played By Smoked Salmon

Eating like an Overlord

For the first time I finally made a tamago I could be proud of. I made a chirashi sushi bowl with sushi rice, cucumber, smoked salmon and a tamago omelette made in an authentic tamago pan to get the dimensions just right. I also had some pickled ginger that I haven’t torn into yet, and finally got to break it in. Then there is also a garden salad with sesame dressing, and some greek strawberry honey yogurt with mandarin oranges. For me in the morning this is quite a feast, but felt really good for most of the day.

Spicy

Then later on in the day I took the leftover tofu from yesterday, as well as the leftover scallions, sliced a bell pepper and made a noodle curry. It was really spicy, but not too sweet. I also had a nice green chai a bit ago, something sweet sounded nice after browsing Amazon for teas. My flowering teapot is already giving up the ghost after only being unboxed for a few months… so I purchased a more durable one with a better handle. While I was there I also decided to purchase a few teas. There aren’t any good blueberry teas locally, and I also wanted to see if I could hunt down a maple syrup tea, and Holy Twatwaffles Batman! I found a really good candidate. That just sounded too good to pass up, and it’s a Pu Erh! Those are great to have in the morning for a high energy tea. I also found the flavors Caramel Nougat and Apricot Amaretto to be quite intriguing… then of course there’s the original tea that I thought of. I haven’t tried this one before, but it sounded like a good blend to try.

I have a short day of work tomorrow; I’m thinking when I get home of making a scramble of eggs with some tomatoes and mushrooms… maybe some homemade Potatoes O’Overlord with a cream sauce… something hearty. Then perhaps a nap and some SFM work, did nothing but cook and play games today. Do something hearty and somewhat serious tomorrow.

Miso Soup And a Hidden Valley

Been awhile since I’ve made a good miso bowl, figured this morning I’d do a different kind of breakfast. It might seem weird to have miso soup for breakfast, but from what I’ve read it can be an accompaniment to breakfast. I added some shiitake mushrooms to mine and it had a nice robust flavor. I also made fixin’s for chirashi sushi (scattered in a bowl instead of pressed). Maybe I’ll use the leftover miso soup along side it at breakfast tomorrow with a tamago.

For my weekend game I decided to play Valley and a little bit of Quantum Break. I was more interested in Valley today, despite it giving me motion sickness a few times… fortunately puffing the vape pen seemed to help calm my stomach. I think I’m nearing the end of the game, but I’ve been taking my time exploring any area I could find. It’s a big place with many places to go and the more you run around the more upgrades you can find for your robo suit (or as it’s called in game a L.E.A.F Suit). It grants you the ability to give and take life to sustain your suit, and most of the life around you is vegetation.

There are also these weird spirits with horns and weird masks… I think you can consume them into your suit but I haven’t tested that theory. There are plenty of blue orbs around to sustain my suit, so I haven’t really felt the need to take life from anything. I think I’m almost to the end mainly because I’ve gotten like, 13 achievements on the game today. I wanted to play something relaxing today, and it seemed to fit the bill with keeping me thoroughly entertained. Plus it’s quite different from other games in general. I love running around (especially when on rails, you generate a nice bit of electricity for a super run), double jumping in the air, grappling from place to place when applicable, and my most recent suit upgrade lets me walk on magnetic surfaces!

Something tells me that I’ll be giving this game a thumbs up when I finally finish it.

I’m a Sourcerer

I got quite a bit done in SFM today! Rewarded myself by getting my ass pounded in TF2 alongside Yutram… They have definitely changed the AI a considerable amount since we used to play regularly, that and the AI behavior seems a little off, the bots are really good at detecting spys to the point that the bots don’t seem to want to go spy. Last I checked the bots were set to medium difficulty, Yutram and I are wondering if Valve decided that the cool kids deserve MLG mode bots or some shit. While we were playing we were treated to an interesting message:

In TF2 you have the option of wasting $100 or some shit on a digital ring that you can give to your friend or partner as a sign of friendly gay marriage or something, and not only do you get to personalize the message, but everyone playing the game will see it regardless of server. I’ve seen quite a few of these over the years, and it’s nice to know the tradition is still going strong. I never received one myself, and hopefully never will.

Open Threads

I accidentally a nap

Got off work today, had a health shake for lunch and opted to get into working on the next SFM project, and then next thing I knew I was waking up from a nap with SFM still on the computer screen… That was productive. Well, I still managed to get one scene animated so far… so there is that. I’d give a snapshot from it, but it’s similar to some of the other ones that I’ve done recently… so here’s one of my previous ones:

I guess this can be an open thread.

One nerdy ass day later

I somehow managed to survive work. Stocked up on some flonaise and bought some more tissues. I can’t tell if I’m getting better or not. I also preordered the new Wolfenstein, see how that goes. I also played a bit of TF2 this evening, after doing a little prep work for a couple future videos though nothing big yet, just the starting points. Tonight was more of a play night to make up for not much play during the weekend… that and Yutram and I owed ourselves some form of game together.

Nonsense w/commentary

Here’s a little video. I have another one with animations that’ll be released on the weekend. :melon: I have a couple teaser pics in the Tomala Fanclub Chat and a little Discord server I put together for anyone interested.

I can breathe

I’ve pretty much been sick with hay fever since last weekend, between that and work becoming more and more of a pit of  everlasting despair I’ve been mentally and physically wiped. I spent a good chunk of the morning in bed today doped up on antihistamines, and trying not to gag from this damned sinus infection. After some rest I’m feeling a little better now. Maybe I can actually do something to make up for the first half of my weekend going to shit.

I did manage to complete my video! But it wasn’t easy… For some reason when I went to export the video it would die at around the 56% mark when rendering under Shotcut. I tried all kinds of tricks like lowering the resolution, changing from one preset to another, among other tricks, but it wasn’t until I added a blank video track that I found success. Finally, I can sleep knowing I did one thing right today.

Tea, Games, Data Blah Blah Blah

I started off the day with another good breakfast, this time I made a breakfast wrap with some bacon, egg and some red pepper and chili sauce. This time I experimented with a wheat flour and quinoa wrap. I have to admit that I do like the texture. Also had some Greek yogurt on the side and a spot of pureh to kick off the morning. Got some digital housekeeping done, and even had time to do a little bit of animation and scene prep.

Oh god it burns!

I’ll pick back up on animating tomorrow.  I also played a bit with Vortex this afternoon, but not really enough to know if I like it or not. I was interested in playing Dark Souls Remastered, and from what I can tell it only supports the original. I can’t remember if Nexus Mod Manager supports Remastered or not, but I’ll have to either find an older installer or see if a newer version than the one I currently have is still up for download. If I remember correctly it does. In the meantime I’ve played a bit of Dark Souls Remastered, and it was a bit rough at first… not really so much the gameplay mechanics as trying to get the damned HUD to appear was a nightmare. After I finally figured that out it wasn’t too hard to configure my controller and begin my killing spree in the usual way.

Why does this keep happening to me???

Much like Sekiro I can tell there will be a learning curve that I will need to traverse. Though thanks to my short time in Sekiro I already have a good idea of what buttons to press when engaging an enemy. I’ve also installed other armors for equipping down the line, and plan to possibly install some texture mods and different weapon models if I can find them. If it’s one thing I like to do is make my own adventure.

Not sure if I’ll pick up on it again tomorrow or not. I’d like to try and finish the next video if I don’t immediately pass out after work.

Food and Adventures

I haven’t felt too well these last few days, and on top of that my schedule has been keeping me jumping. Yesterday I chilled with Yutram in the Gmod Cinema after work, and got motion sick afterwards for some reason… that resulted in an accidental 12 hour nap. I felt better though. Well enough to make breakfast:

I made an egg and bacon muffin with some colby pepperjack. It was a nice small and quick breakfast item to get the day rolling. I baked some cran-apple muffins:

I bought some apples for dirt cheap, and figured muffins sounded like a nice thing to both keep the house warm and make things smell good. Plus I prefer making my own munchies anyway.

He’s Been Shrek’t

Got a little further in Sekiro. Defeated Lady Butterfly, made a bracelet out of the anal beads of my enemies, killed Shrek, killed almost anyone I crossed paths with and had a big white snake show up in my face.

At this point I decided yeah… I’m doing pretty well. I looked into mods for a couple other games, and I found some additional fun ones for MGSV and the Dark Souls games. Those will have to wait for another time. For now I’ll try not to have nightmares about White Mamba… the Siberian ass slugs are enough of a problem.
