Where Are All the Games?

Heyo. Zed here. It’s getting hard to find good games. This is a common statement I make to myself. There’s nothing good these days. I’m going to be honest. I’ve owned two Switches. I’ve never found a single good game for either of them. I’m disappointed. No, not disappointed. Sad. Like, emotionally sad. I wanted Nintendo to do something intelligent for once. Nintendo, I hate you. I really hate you. You suck.

Give me another Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue and Red Rescue Team. Give me another Pokemon Gold. Give me another Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. Give me another Kirby Air Ride. Give me something nutritious. No, I don’t want games made out of just rice paper and corn syrup. Please. You’re an international megacorporation like something out of Shadowrun or Blade Runner and you can’t even figure out what a product pitch looks like. I’m sad. Really sad.

There are better options though. It took me five years to track down but I figured out where all of the game developers and companies who aren’t working with the Switch are going. It’s the Android App store. There are tons of good looking games on there. I don’t just mean Fruit Ninja. I can’t believe the quality and the selection they have. And the best part is most of them are free. There’s even a new Elder Scrolls game called Elder Scrolls: Blades.

Bethesda? Blades? Do you, the mythical giant in the industry, want back into the fantasy RPG market? Bethesda? Could it be true? I’ll look into the dozens of good looking games there later when I have a better grasp of my current Minecraft build. Minecraft is on the Android App store as well. And, right now, it’s on sale for the 15th anniversary of the game. Get it while it’s fresh.

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Four New Recipes for January

 Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
