Okay?

A bit better.  Definitely.  Yes.

That is nowhere nearly functional.  It just means I don't hurt everywhere, all the time.  It means I don't have fever, chills.  It means I am not so nausea inflicted that even thinking of food is disturbing.  It simply means I feel normal.  If I don't do anything?  If I don't think about it?  I'm not sure.  But, for a moment, the first in many, I... don't feel so dreadful that I think I am dying.

Meh.  It will do.

I have been gaming.  I am figuring out... what I need to do.  And how to do it.  At the most basic of level.  I couldn't imagine trying to play this game before cheating was simply added.  Finding every component, training dinosaurs... only usually to lose them to bigger dinosaurs... or sharks.  Figuring out which dinos are aggressive, and how to train those.

I mean, yes.  The game is... wonderful.  In it's intent.  And, that it can be played solo?  That's something else.  My guess, though, is that it isn't possible to win the game solo.  You need larger groups, putting stuff in.  This grouping being taught how to train certain dinos, needed for mid and end game.  Those training to garden... grow things for the trainers, and team generally.  This group sent to build, collect building supplies, and perhaps build while at it.  And, groups being taught how to combat... and being armed and armored to do so?

Right.  Solo?  It's... not possible.  But, with the cheats, you can sort of figure out how things work.  Do some of it.  But... it's... not built to be a solo game.  With cheats, it has been developed so that some soloing is roughly possible.  Though, to be honest, I'd guess even groups use cheats.

Still, I'm learning.  Haven't tried even the first lowest level battle.  I don't even know what all is required.  Just... sorting how to get in.  I haven't seen anything that shows what is needed in the fight, or where to find that.  The game is clever, interesting, neat.  But far beyond... single player.  It just isn't really possible.  Even so, I tinker on.  

As well, I had soup.  Spiced, to high heaven, this time.  I do like that, from time to time.  Hmm, I haven't had veggies in a long time.  You know, a bit of corn and/or peas?  Maybe some spinach?  Just for... a bit of a minor cheat, if even then only into regular keto a bit?  Yes.  Maybe.  I think I have water cresses, or some such... often used in oriental foods.  Those have almost zero anything, but a bit of texture.  Those too.

It needed salt, cream, and... could have used butter.  I'll have more later.  Just... because.  It's nice to splurge, and have two bowls to eat on a single day!  It's not the calories, it's eating until I am comfortably stuffed, once or twice.  Once usually does, but twice from time to time isn't bad.  Especially with soups.  Mostly fluid.  But... something I actually enjoy?  Yes, finally.

If you want to lose weight, fill up on soup.  Be careful what you add to it.  Usually don't even add veggies.  Just meat, bone broth, some added water, and spices and herbs.  Plus, it is so very easy to make.  This last few times I didn't bother cooking the meat first.  I just added it, and the last time still frozen, and let it... get through.

The texture isn't as good, in that it seriously clumps when done that way.  So, I probably won't do that again.  I'll let it thaw, then toss it right into the broth with water.  But, it's very easy.  And, if you don't have problems with veggies?  Add peas, or corn, or homily, or spinach (fresh would be better still).  Cut up a squash, go crazy.  Lots of things to add to it, if you don't have extreme glycemic problems.

But, soup.  Or stew, if you want to thicken it.  Flour, again, if you don't have a problem with grains.  Though it's easy for keto/carnivore too, with a few natural foods.  Thickening isn't difficult, or expensive.  Of course, adding more fats, than carbs, I would advise.  Fats and proteins, with carbs just for looks, tradition, slight flavor profiles, and such.  So easy, and easy to lose weight on.

You almost can't eat enough, even well fatted soup/stew, to gain weight.  And, at least in the winter, it is a generous food.  In the summer?  I'll... have to figure that out.  I have heard people who eat cold soup.  I have heard of people who eat... never mind.  Just saying, I haven't found a cold soup I liked.  Yet.  

Well?  On to finish the coffee, tinker on the game, perhaps do a bit of research on what to do next, and how.  Ugh.  Later.
