New Year’s Resolution: Still at 2560x1440p but with FreeSync

Bed & Breakfast Curry

Happy New Year! I’ve been too busy to write, lots of work and real world related stuff. I wasn’t feeling too particularly well yesterday either. I ended up mostly making comfort foods like Breakfast Curry and Pad Thai, played a couple games to relax, enjoy a breakfast in bed for a change, etc. I didn’t feel as bad today; I even tidied things up a bit, moved my Christmas stuff to the pantry. I got a lot of teas, sauce mixes and soup mixes among a bunch of other stuff that I haven’t even touched yet, but when I do I’ll be sure to write about it. So far all the Asian stuff I’ve made has been from scratch. I also want to go over the packaging details, as I’ve found a few things of the Engrish variety on certain products that are quite amusing.

DOGGO

I updated The Phantom Pain recently, both the game and the mod manager. I’ve installed some mods that will make for fun future gameplay. I just felt the call to go back and Cardboard Box sled again and invite Russian soldiers to my slumber party in the middle east. I’m very close to inviting Huey to my party, and I have a special place set aside for him.

Gonna fuk sum sheet uwp.

Revisited SOTR for a little too. A bunch of my friends bought it during the steam sale, or have waited for the Definitive Edition update to roll out before playing it and I started to get a bit of the itch to go back again and play. I finished a challenge tomb, but now I’m stumped on how to get to the next waypoint. I’ll have to ponder at it awhile and return to it later.

This is what eye cancer looks like kids.

While I wasn’t well enough to stream last night; Yutram and I did spend some time together playing in Doom SnapMap. There were both great and terrible maps to play from “This isn’t half bad” to “Did they even try?” to “What were they snorting when they made this?”.

I found a new universe.

I decided to try Sunset Overdrive today. I bought it a couple sales ago but never had a chance to try it. I remember watching one of my co-workers play a demo of it at work while stress testing a TV, and it looked fun enough for me to try. I think I’ll save this one for a thread of its own, but for now if you’re on my Steam friends list you’ll see I took some porntography of the game.

I’ve also been entertaining the idea of upgrading my CPU to a 3rd gen Ryzen and my monitors to FreeSync. I got a surprise bonus check last month from work, and the extra holiday pay and overtime are going to help pay for it. The 3950x looks pretty slick, and it would bump up my current setup by 50%. Livestreaming, gaming and video rendering would load much faster, especially now that I’ve found that I can increase the amount of threads to use when exporting in Source Filmmaker. Such an upgrade would be quite beneficial, and I can sell my Dad the old processor, and they can finally get off of x58 and live happily ever after. :melon:

From Spicy To Sweet

Been awhile since I’ve made a breakfast curry, and we were low on vegetables, so it gave me a good excuse to buy some and make a nice breakfast curry. It has bell pepper, potato, carrot, fresh green beans, onion and grated ginger. All cooked in a homemade red curry sauce poured over Jasmine Rice. I have enough to last me for the week methinks, and tomorrow if I’m up for it I want to try and make a Chinese breakfast pancake. I found a recipe recently and I want to try and make my own.

I also felt the need for a sweet snack of apples and peanut butter dip. I made it with some peanut butter, greek yogurt, vanilla, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh ginger, cayenne pepper and some coconut milk to make it a little easier to stir. Tastes nice on apples and even vegetables, like carrots or green beans for example. I made a big bowl, should also last me awhile, a good protein packed dip to accompany some chopped fruits and veggies that tastes like a dessert. I can’t argue with that.

Curry! It’s for breakfast!

Sorry for not writing, been stuck between busy and shiny objects. I brought home four computers the other day to be worked on and sent the last one out today. I’ve also done a couple livestreams over the weekend! I’ll link to those later…

I made breakfast curry yesterday with leftovers to spare. It consists of scrambled eggs, and a quick curry sauce that I made with coconut milk as the base. I simmered some red bell pepper, carrot and potato in it until the sauce was thick and the veggies were tender. I then took some onion and garlic and cooked them in oil, salt, pepper and curry powder (more curry!) and then I mixed it all together and served over some rice. It was very hearty, and lasted me all the way to dinner. I had less rice today to make room for some yogurt that I mixed with some chai spices, honey and nuts. I also made some caramel apple chai with coconut milk on the side. All this talk of breakfast and I haven’t even had dinner yet… I’ll try and write more tomorrow.
