Seven Kingdoms: Sora

Sora is an impulsive history nerd pirate from Hise who romanced Jasper. She was fun to play, and the Jasper romance was full of some excellent pining but didn't really go anywhere, unless I screwed something up. I also saw all the Historian scenes, which is strongly connected to Jasper so it was good to do this on the same playthrough as his romance.

And then I went back and romanced Lyon the uptight history nerd and that was also great.

Cooking is Terrible: The Book

I just bought the low-effort cookbook Cooking is Terrible after seeing it recced a bunch on tumblr, and I feel like it was worth $5USD for me, even having to scroll past anything reliant on cheese/beans etc. I haven't actually cooked anything from it yet, but I recognised a bunch of things I already make, and got a bunch of interesting ideas I intend to try. And I was inspired to create something new and tasty(*)

Where it differs from traditional cookbooks is that it's designed for people who don't have the energy for a lot of thinking or preparation. So the easiest stuff is at the front: a list of things you can eat with no prep at all. Then come suggestions for nice sandwich fillings, moving on to general advice for making soup plus some nice combos of ingredients etc.

I can see it being useful to scroll through when I'm hungry and have enough ingredients and energy to cook something but nothing seems both attainable and appealing. I might take the text as a base for a personalised version, removing all the things I will never eat and adding in extras.
