Yeah, I got a couple of review requests of papers in fields I had absolutely no clue about. After declining the fivth I felt the need to press accept and spent the next weeks trying to get into that topic and write at least something useful. That moment I learned were all those BS reviews come from, which I usually get for my papers XD
Continuing Trails, now at Cold Steel (started chapter 3) and it’s… bad? It feels like a huge drop in quality from the previous games. The dialogues feel too long and boring, the characters uninteresting and I’m not vibing with the school setting.
Played a couple of hours of Atelier Ryza, which I had accidentally put on hold midway through, and felt lost and confused. I’m not sure if I should restart it or push through.
Played Ys I and currently playing II. The first one was a fun simple adventure, the combat system is kinda weird, as you just run into enemies to damage them, but surprisingly satisfying. The bosses were more annoying than anything. The second one seems to have made the combat more interactive, as there’s magic now, and the first two bosses were fun to fight, but the maps are a bit too big and confusing.
Still the new World of Warcraft expansion. While I appreciate Blizzard slowing down the start of an expansion, so you don’t have to rush through everything to get to the endgame, this is a bit too slow for me. The next weekly reset on Wednesday can’t come soon enough, so finally the higher difficulty stuff opens up.
One thing that will definitely not work for most people here is the emulsification. It can’t be done reliably in a regular blender with a regular blending vessel.
Emulsification needs a space constraint by volume to ensure the cycling of ingredients to quickly bind and stabilize. A wide mouth jar and immersion blender will be a much better choice for this volume. You also need to make sure that when you start blending anything for emulsion, the solids need to be settled to the bottom of the vessel before blending, so slowly adding oil is somewhat unreliable as well. Add your solids, slowly pour your liquids in order on top (oil before water for example), THEN blend as fast as possible.
The order when this happens is: proteins > heavy liquids and solids mix > medium liquids bind > light liquids bind as far as ingredients go. As long as you have a setup where this is ensured, it’s almost guaranteed to work every time.
Adding anything individually will not reliably work, and will make a “loose” emulsification as you mentioned.
