And since you like tofu, this is my favorite thing to eat right now: http://www.splendidtable.or… You can just buy a dressing if you don't want to make it.

I now realize that my post made it sound like you'd cook the stuff in the rice cooker, but that's not what I meant (oops). I know you can put some stuff in there, but I think just like ginger and stuff like that. What I do is cook the tofu in a pan with oil until it is crispy and light brown on both sides, add the…

If you like tofu and want to use your rice cooker more then a really easy and simple dish is just throwing whatever veggies you like on top of rice with some tofu (really good if you cook the tofu in sesame oil). You can also add a fried or boiled egg for more protein. And (you might already know this) you can cook a…

I've put Lighting Returns on hold for a bit because the TV is currently occupied by my other half playing Dark Souls 3 and watching baseball. So, I've decided to play Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. I started a couple days ago, but this is the first of the series I've played so it has been slow going as I try to get…

Stalled a bit on Infinite Jest because we moved into a new house, but also because the dad stuff was a bit too depressing for me. Needed to take a little emotional break from it, but I'm planning on starting again this week.

I'm a pretty generous player, so I have a hard time thinking of a level I actually hated in a game I love. When I'm faced with something in a game that frustrates me, or bores me, I tend to think of it as part of the challenge of the gaming experience itself. While I'm in the moment I'm sure I curse the game for…

Another bit of musical joy to add to my collection. More revery indeed!

Yeah, back then I remember being sad and kind of unsettled but not understanding why.

I was actually pretty young when I played it the first time and didn't have that nostalgia either. But it still resonated with me for whatever reason. That being said, playing when I was older was even better, probably because I was able to appreciate more of what was going on. But yeah, give it another try. I hope…

I replayed FFIX about a year ago, and I loved it even more than I did the first time around. Graphics have never been a concern of mine. It's just a great game no matter what. That being said, I'm sure the remaster is awesome, and I'm glad that it will encourage new players to try out the game.

The "Item Room" music is so haunting. It really freaked me out as a kid (it still does).

Love this album so much. "The Shining" and "Epitaph" are two of my favorite songs, and they've found their way on to pretty every playlist I've ever made.

Most anime and all manga. My less grumpy partner doesn't dislike it exactly, it just doesn't seem to have much appeal. The only notable exception to this is Sgt. Frog. We can watch that together and everyone is happy. Also, musicals, with a couple of minor exceptions (namely The Drowsy Chaperone), and he will happily…

Yeah, seems like the backwards compatibility situation will make the decision for me.

This might mean I'll never end up buying a Wii U, but overall this news doesn't bother me. It's never fun to have things delayed, but I like to think (perhaps naively) that these delays mean the game will be better. I can wait for quality. Anyway, I think I'll have enough to play through this year that I can wait…

I'd like to think I would never give up…but now I don't have to find out!

Haven't had much time to play games this week, but I do have some rambling thoughts on the Nintendo news. I usually only buy Nintendo consoles when a new Zelda game comes out, which means I never bought a Wii U. So, maybe I'll buy the NX instead? I don't pay that much attention to Nintendo, so maybe I've missed some…

200 pages into Infinite Jest. Starting to see some narrative patterns developing. Mostly still finding it crushingly depressing but forging ahead nonetheless.

After sending applications for a year I finally landed a job! And it actually seems like it might be a good job. I would have absolutely taken a shitty job, so this is particularly hooray worthy news.
