Taking the night off from blogging to celebrate my new steamdeck.
kthx.
Current Mood: Japan
Today I got to:
- Eat Miso Soup for a light breakfast/work lunch
- Shower in cherry blossoms
- Drink sencha green tea with blueberry
- Eat left over zesty noodles
- Drink a white chocolate matcha with strawberry
- Light a sacred cherry blossom soy candle for a peaceful rest
It’s finally nice to do some of the things 17 year old me always wanted to do. I remember a time when you couldn’t buy miso soup ingredients nearby, let alone have much in the way of pre-packaged miso. I remember reading about matcha, but not knowing where to get it without buying online. Now a days I can get a lot of this stuff locally and enjoy it to my hearts content! Plus, online options have also become more available and plentiful!
How things change.
The Overlord Sez: Drink Ur Matcha
According to a recent study; Drinking matcha can help you not only sleep better, but mentally function better as well.
The participants underwent cognitive function and sleep quality evaluations, as well as various blood and neuroimaging tests, at the start and end of the trial, which the researchers describe as a double blind placebo-controlled randomized comparative study. At the end of the year, the matcha group, compared to the placebo group, displayed “a significant improvement in social cognition assessed with a facial expression recognition test, specifically, the precision of their perception of emotions based on facial expression.”
As a celebrated tea drinker I see nothing wrong with this! I’ve actually started drinking some matcha sweetened with monkfruit in the evening recently, and maybe it’s a coincidence but I do have an easier time waking up in the morning.
Tomala’s UNREAL Indie Gaming Weekend
Today was a productive day… for my gaming collection! I got all of the achievements in AMID EVIL, and I even decided to play a little bit of Abyss Odyssey for the heckuvit!
Since I spent most of my last weekend sifting through video footage, I figured I would give myself a true break from it and chill in a couple different gaming worlds that have been collecting digital dust on my digital shelf. Now I won’t have to touch AMID EVIL again until The Black Labyrinth DLC releases. As for Abyss Odyssey? I’m not sure if I’ll ever complete this one. I like it, but the controls feel a little clunky. I imagine if I do complete it it’ll be somewhere between now and old age. 😛
Cloudpunk & Chill
I escaped into the world of Cloudpunk this evening, and with style! I got to sprawl out on the couch for a few hours to explore, continue the story, and achievement whore like no fucking tomorrow. It was fun! After visiting the Wikipedia page for Cloudpunk I’ve discovered that it’s available on pretty much all platforms, so I’ll have to mention this one to a couple of people at work. I think they’d like it too, it has the right atmosphere, it looks beautiful, the dialogue is well written and the characters are fun.
As soon as I finish this game I’m probably going to give it a high recommendation. But completion will have to wait for another day, there are many other games that call out to me at the exact same time! 😛 Like I was telling a co-worker friend of mine; I have the backlog from hell.
On the flipside? I’m never bored! 😛
i r doomcat
Just when I thought my cat adventures were over, the DOOM community comes up with this lovely gem of a mod. I might have to give it a go someday! Stray was short enough that it left me wanting more, and it’s been awhile since I’ve played OG DOOM… Sounds like a match made in hell if you ask me! 😉
Brains…
The world is full of stupid people.
This isn’t related to any direct event… I just saw lots of stupid people today.
