At the Moment (2023) [/] Taiwanese romance anthology series of 10 hour-long episodes each episode being a separate story all set during the COVID-19 Pandemic and soon afterwards. Took until about halfway to realize that characters recur in multiple stories. Each story is a separate romantic couple but one or both can appear in other stories and that was nice showing interconnectedness. Still, hour-long romance stories not really my thing. I like that they showed one gay story (with kissing) and one lesbian story (with a very light kiss).

HEROish (2022) [/] Apple Arcade battle rush sort of game. Your hero gets magic points and spends them to summon warriors or cast spells. The warriors mostly stay with your hero and meanwhile the level villains are doing the same. You have a set of cards and four are available to cast spells so your card mix makes a difference. Different heroes too which you can level up and raise their skills (and you can also level up cards individually, not by unit type). It's an ok game.

Hanx101 Trivia (2022) [/] Apple Arcade trivia game with several modes. The 101 mode is 101 questions split up into sections of 5 or 6 questions to a category. I was getting like one or two wrong per section and the questions have a wide variety of difficulty but not designed to be Trivial Pursuit hard. I think maybe it's a little too cutesy with the narrator and his comments but not trying to be funny like You Don't Know Jack.

Kajiken, San Mateo - Wagyu Roast Beef Aburasoba [/] “Wagyu roast beef, crispy onions, green onions, butter onion sauce, yogurt sauce, raw egg yolk” plus noodles. You mix it yourself. Tastes fine though the roast beef is worse than I imagined (not sure I’ve had Wagyu beef before). Probably wouldn’t get this specific entrée again. $25 + $4 on DoorDash, $23 + tax/tip dine-in.
