Week of Tri-Tip. I've eaten almost nothing but tri-tip for my meals for a good chunk of this week. Like, I haven't eaten it in ages since it's gotten to be too expensive, but a family friend gave us here a full roast of the stuff, and that's on top of the restaurant lunch order that my workplace did this week also had plenty of tri-tip on the menu, so it really is like a ton just got dumped on me this week. Not that I'm complaining though, tri-tip is an excellent cut of beef. I'm just surprised that so much came to me all at once.

Anyways, for games I played this week, I put more time into Marathon! I'm definitely getting better at Solo Queue Outpost Sponsored Survival now, I actually managed to extract with some rare loot this time around. In this case, I got some archival PSA audio that the colony used during the time that the UESC Marathon was being attacked by the Pfhor. It's nuts how much the UESC tried to cover up a fucking alien invasion going on by saying that it's just a security incident and that people are being released from cryostasis on a staggered schedule now. Then again, given how the UESC are strongly authoritarian in nature, that does track with them.

And finally, in my regular mecha talk section here, I rewatched more Neon Genesis Evangelion with my TTRPG group! My friend who is watching it for the first time remains uncannily observant on some stuff, it's still pretty impressive. We ended off on Rei I, and he's already intrigued by why Rei seems to open up only to Gendo and why Gendo only seems to care about her. He said semi-jokingly that it's maybe because of Gendo wanting a daughter instead of having Shinji as a son. Oh man, they're definitely in the right ballpark with that idle speculation, that's for sure.

Probably the most delicious thing to hit me in a while, that’s for sure.
