I really try not to be in bed if I'm not going to sleep, reading an article/book/prose on my phone.

I've also been doing this for a while now. It's easy enough to do, and you don't even need any special hardware (it just takes longer on the stove than in a pressure cooker in a pot). I usually make about a gallon at a time, and it'll last me for a couple of weeks (I usually use it when I make rice, or brine tofu).

I don't know what the solution is. I don't think that having the state tell people what to do with their bodies/children is the answer, and (in America at least) I don't think that will ever be an electable/actionable platform.

Comment on Super Mario Maker 2 – World Maker Update – Nintendo Switch in ~games
wexx LinkIt sounded like you can only make worlds of levels you've made, which is kind of a bummer... it would be nice to be able to make worlds of other people's levels and kind of curate levels.It sounded like you can only make worlds of levels you've made, which is kind of a bummer... it would be nice to be able to make worlds of other people's levels and kind of curate levels.

A Short Hike seems like the best parts of Animal Crossing without the money, so I'm fairly sure I'll enjoy that too.

Finished:- Gris - very enjoyable, ambient/atmospheric (there aren't any words in it) platformer. Playing it over the steam link on my TV was a bit frustrating (input lag was really bad for some reason), but I got over that and made it through.
Started/Playing:
- Persona 5 - I'm not playing Royal... but I'm getting towards the end of it ( I think). I got through most of a palace over the weekend and am at the last boss of it. I should be able to finish it in a week or two.
Up next:
- Where the Water Tastes Like Wine - I started this probably a year ago, but I might just restart it since it's shorter. I really enjoyed what I played of it though.
- Alien: Isolation - Been sitting on this for a while. It's a bit longer, unfortunately, so we'll see.
- A Short Hike - might throw this inbetween WtWTLW and Alient, but we'll see.

Control: very good, excited for the DLC
Zed: Cannot recommend, but it was pretty/the story was OKThis week:
Started Gris last night, I'll probably finish that tonight or tomorrow.
I'm about 40 hours into persona 5, I might try and make a dent in that, and then move onto the Witcher 3 (as noted last week also). I've also been playing FFXIV, which is definitely a game that takes longer than 4 hours to complete ^^;
I have a bunch more in my backlog that could fit in this week, but I doubt It'll make it on my plate. -

I guess other modes are just in there for personal preference, but some just don't seem as useful.Yeah pierce is definitely my favorite of the service weapon modes I think...

I just wish the puzzles had been a bit more involved and hadn't just been fairly simple image-scramble bits. Otherwise the story/voice acting was pretty well done, and the visuals were compelling enough to keep me walking through it. Thankfully it was short (sub-2 hour).
I Don't think VR would've made a difference, as I said, the puzzles were the most disappointing/not interesting enough.

I was a big fan of the first one and just never started the third (the second one was also fine but I didn't enjoy it as much).
I made a corn/miso/silken tofu soup the other day that was wonderful. I always forget silken tofu is a thing, and then make things like this.
Recipe is basically:
Saute half onion (I used a whole onion)
Add corn to pan (1 15oz can)
Half Container of silken tofu (ended up being 1 1/4 cups)
11/4 cup of veggie broth (I made mine with broccoli stems/other leftover bits, but any milder veggie broth would do I think)
blend onions, corn, and silken tofu. After reaching the desired texture, mix in a tablespoon of white or yellow miso.
(could also add a little bit of pepper or something here if desired too, I didn't really think it needed anything else and just seasoned the silken tofu I fried to go on top)
serve with green onions and (any crispy crouton sort of thing really) fried silken tofu (or plain if you dislike green onions and crispy ).
