Feb 11 - after having so much trouble getting out of bed yesterday, today was a “wake up 2-3 hours before alarm clock is set to go off, and be unable to go back to sleep” morning, so I was up and having breakfast at my computer at what is a ridiculously early hour for a weekend (even after staying in bed reading for a while before giving up and getting up). Today was laundry day, two loads, one of which I put away earlier and the other of which I’ll be putting away after I post this (and then going to bed earlier than normal, because I’m tired due to being awake stupidly early).

Supper tonight was keema mater and basmati rice - aka curried ground beef and green peas. Using a recipe from an Indian Instant-Pot cookbook that includes ground beef, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, garam marsala, cumin, turmeric, coriander, ginger, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and of course green peas. Yum!

Mistigram: time for a trek into the crawl space... go extract the dusty case and join AdeptApril in observing Get Out Your Guitar Day, as this #ANSIart screen suggests. Tomorrow can be Adjust The Tuning And Action Day and maybe Tuesday or Thursday, Wonder Whatever Happened To Your Calluses Day.

39: Cookie Cauldron

Cookie Cauldron does have an adorable title screen, with a chubby chibi witch riding on a gingerbread house...airplane...houseplane! When the game starts, Bea is presented with the options for difficulty, level, and music-- this must be a puzzle game.

"Magical 100% Cotton! Now with 50% more Cotton!" She starts with normal and stage one, let's see how this works first. "Good choice of vehicle too, I applaud you"

aroseahorseboy: Bea I think this is... Mmmyep

The gameplay involves spinning around conveyor belts with cookies on them in order to make rows of five, at which point they are dispersed into a cauldron, which spits them out as gingerbread bricks onto the ground. The bricks are building a gingerbread house, and the more cookies you clear the higher it gets!

aroseahorseboy: this is literally Yoshi's Cookie but without Yoshi

"I've never been that good at these but I'm hanging in so far! Gonna build you a house, witch lady! Just don't nibble too much or you'll compromise the structural integrity"

As she plays, a new complication enters-- greedy children! You have to watch which way their eyes are facing, because they'll eat whatever cookie they're looking at in three turns! More of them appear every time she makes a multi cookie combo... but she might be able to line them up and clear them too!

HNV: okay, it's like Yoshi's Cookie... if the cookies ate each other? Syrupentine: crave those crazy squares!

"Kids! Do we know these kids? I think we've seen them, always making trouble! Salmonella on each of you!"

It's hard to line them up since they keep darting over to eat the cookies they're fixated on, but eventually Bea figures out the strategy there-- move the cookies they want into the line where the other kids are, and the kids will clear themselves! And then... they all tumble into the cauldron.

"Heh, since there's witches and cookies involved, wouldn't it be funny if- WHAT?!" She gasps, then laughs. "OK, shoulda seen it coming but didn't! No wonder she's kind of heavy looking, huh"

They don't stay in for long, they jump right out... as gingerbread men! And then they start helping to build the house for BIG point multipliers! ...until they collapse into bricks and become part of the house.

DueyDecimal: Okay, this is a metaphor for capitalism now

"Well, all in all, we're just another brick in the wall, huh"

berd_snurglar: wow bea what are you like 50

Jan 10 - Another day of mostly just Timberborn. Made corned beef hash for supper.

Jan 11 - Started the day off by giving the upstairs bathroom a thorough cleaning (instead of just spot-cleaning). Managed to finish with Timberborn for now, I think, after spending most of the afternoon and a big chunk of the evening in it. Time to get back around to my usual suspects of late (TS4, NMS, LotRO, BG3, CP77...)

Just me for supper so I had leftover corned beef hash and some bread & butter.
