Games for you to play despite having no time ā pt.4
Time flies by and in a blink of an eye you suddenly see that especially in winter the darkness of the morning turns into the darkness of the night after coming home from work, university or other duties.
In the middle of little lunch breaks or our hustle life we cannot afford to play time-consuming games, but does that mean we really have to give up games all in all?
No worries, even with the little amount of time the game we will present you today might be your next companion for a little while since itās playable despite having no time.
Since we are a little bit in cat fever that started with our Secret Cat Forest(verlinken) game from last time we now introduce todayās game that is a little bit more dynamic but filled with a lot of soup and cats - Cats & Soup by HIDEA.
The game is available for Android and IOS in the respective stores, free to download.
Cats & Soup is a simulation game in which you, as the name says, collect cats of different races and make different kinds of soups and more.
The game has many features that includes building different facilities in order to add different types of soup (later juice and more), dressing your cats up with different costumes that vary, fishing little snacks for your cats , upgrading your recipes, selling dishes and more!
For the collectors among you there are special rewards for combining the costumes who each have a different effect depending on the cat and its job. So for example you can give a cat a hat that increases the effect of certain facilities.
The game doesnāt require the player to be constantly there to sell the dishes that the cook prepares, since the game focuses on being a good offline game that doesnāt consume much time. Itās perfect for collecting the in-game currency while being away from the phone whether itās for shorter or longer time periods.
While the game is completely free to play it does take some time to get more resources from a certain point which are coins and energy.
Energy is needed in order to upgrade the different recipes to gather more coins from each dish, while coins are used to upgrade and buy facilities.
There are several ways to attain energy but the first one that wouldnāt need any effort are some facilities that are built right at the beginning, later on through daily quests and watching ads that are less than 30 seconds long, more can be acquired if needed, it similarly works with coins as well.
In the game events offer several different furniture, costumes and more in order to add more content depending on the time of year.
Relaxing and calm despite the funny and dynamic movements of the different cat breeds is the perfect description of the game. By turning off the soothing background music there is even a stronger effect of calming ASMR that includes running water, chopping, cooking, boiling, fishing, meowing, rustling, rain (appears from time to time) and more. The cycle of day and night is also included in the game but is not sync with the real life time and day cycle.
If you are searching for a cute and funny, yet low effort game that you can play while being busy over the day then this game will provide you the extra little relaxation and smile in your daily schedule - especially for the cat lovers among you.

Another season begins and so spring welcomes us with a long-awaited anime: Spy x Family. Highly recommended by the many manga-readers who finally rejoiced when the anime adaption was announced.
Now the first episode is already out, and it makes everyone wonder, could this be my next recommendation?
Surely, todayās Blogpost may answer your question in an all-well-known spoiler-free manner like in every of our breakfast anime series.
Are you ready to spy on this new series?
Plot of Spy x Family
Twilight.
The name of the best Spy around Westalis who not ever so often saved the country from many threats of upcoming wars and commotion when it comes to their neighboring Country Ostania.
To no surprise his new mission is also related to such an affair, as his new target is one of Ostaniaās politicians Donovan Desmond, also known as Operation Strix.
But in order to get close to Desmond, Twilight has to marry and get a child which would infiltrate the former sonās school. With less time than he actually needs, Twilight makes his way under the false identity of āLoid Forgerā and adopts a child ā Anya.
Anya is supposed to enroll into the prestigious Eden Academy and for that he also needs a wife to attend the social gathering which he quickly finds as well, Yor Briar.
Under the pretense of a happy family, Twilightās most difficult mission starts as his new role of a husband and father with much more risks and difficulties than he expected.
Can he succeed without getting attached and reach world peace by parenting?
Characters in Spy x Family
Loid Forger
Loid Forger is another of many faces that Twilight puts on when he is going through one of his missions.
This time: The happy family with a wonderful daughter who is head over heels for his wife. The proud father of Anya Forger.
Despite being used to walking his path alone and not getting people intermingled with his missions, he is forced into putting a child and a woman in danger, unusual and out of the question for him.
Nobody knows his true identity, nor does he know much about the other family members as he tells himself not to get too attached to them since it is just a mission.
A happy family faƧade he puts on only to succeed in Operation Strix to reassure that the world stays peaceful.
Only to realize how less peaceful his life as a family would becomeā¦
Anya Forger
The adopted daughter is the core role of Twilightās mission.
Her part is to enroll into a private academy in order to get close to Desmond who attends social gatherings there.
Since Anya is an Esper who can read other peopleās minds, she is the only one aware of both her parentsā identities and on top of that thrilled for a new eventful life of her cool parents.
With a new home and willing to compromise to stay there with her new-found family the eager yet curious little Anya gives her best to impress those around her fully knowing that she is the key for world peace.
Yor Forger
A shy beauty on the outside who is absent-minded most of the time when she works her usual job in the office.
Getting teased by her friends for still being single she gets pressed to marry and therefore finds a great convenience in Loidās offer.
But never judge a book by its cover since this shy office lady is the renowned Assassin āThorn Princessā now under the cover of a happy wife and mother of a lovely daughter who focuses on her family.
Will she also be a mother that would kill for her child?
Animation
Despite the setting of a country that is threatened by war several times and very shady things going on underground, the animation and colors were held pretty bright.
This also goes for the exceptional design of the characters that bring in many different yet mood-brightening color palettes that pleases the eye in midst of a steampunk-ish setting that seems to hint at early German architecture and references (as seen in the Berlint train station which implies that German city Berlin).
We also see that the fashion is held quite classic and in the direction of a more vintage oriented time, in which we see that modern technology has progressed, but not as far as our modern times.
Meaning a lot of brown and metallic tones are used for colors, as well as ambience lights that go more into an orange tint due to the lamps used back at that time. This is not for the action-filled alleys and nights when battles are held, and the ambience fittingly goes into a more blueish or violet tone to match the frightening sides of the characterās hidden identity.
Itās as if the light represents on one side the happy family at day with more bright bursting colors, scenery, and ambience. On the other hand, when flashbacks or scenes in which the characters are alone are presented, their true faces coming to the surface, the colors turn more faded, cool and less saturated.
Since the first episode is only out, we still didnāt see the opening, but we already have the ending from it as it shows us the town and peaceful side of the anime. Jazzy and calm as if we were led to a calm family evening after a harsh day. Whether it was the official ending video or just for the episode is still unknown.
Voices in Spy x Family
Takuya Eguchi as Loid Forgerās Voice in Spy x Family brings back the chivalry of Julius (Re:Zero), the provoking yet attractive side of Hanma (Tokyo Revengers) and also softness of Kakeru (Fruitās Basket).
Yor Forger on the other hand is voiced by Saori Hayami well-known for her elegant yet delicate voice which is recognized in her role as Shirayuki(Shirayuki hime), Himawari (Boruto) and Nino (Fukumenkai Noise).
The energetic and curious Anya Forger is spoken by Atsumi Tanezaki who lends her voice to other characters like Mayu (Death Parade), Niki (Dr. Stone) and Emilia (Durarara!!).
It has also been announced that several other voice actors will join in later.
Conclusion
After the first Episode was out everyone was on their toes whether it was worth waiting for an anime adaption or not. Whether the anime will stay true to the manga or not is still far away to tell with one episode, but we can agree that it did successfully hook the first viewers.
If you are looking for a perfect balance of a heart-warming, yet action-filled comedy anime then Spy x Family should be on your list next.
With the diversity of so many characters not only design but also personality-wise (and at this point even with many identities), they are all as lovable and interesting to see how they would end up interacting in the future.
Anya as an adorable comedic relief and both of the parents being not only attractive, but very dark characters in their true occupation makes one wonder:
Will world peace happen with the help of this family?
āā¦most of the people in this world are neither good nor evil. Death is the final destination for all of us, but no one dies the same death.ā
-Nanami Kento
As Jujutsu Kaisen already served to impress us with many simple yet meaningful quotes, there is another one from a very simple yet thoughtful man who chose to be a Jujutsu Sorcerer again leaving the world of the ordinary business people once and for all.
Nanami Kentoās complex but also simple character is one of his many charming points as he is someone who blatantly tells what is needed without talking too much around the topic but getting straight to the point. Still in his words one can see that they stem from experiences and while itās hard to see at times emotional attachment to the person he gives his little advice to.
A man of not many words, but actions that do not go over more than needed, which makes the watcher turn their attention whenever Nanami explains certain things due to these characteristics, that he displays since his very first appearance.
As humans tend to see things subjectively, despite that they claim that they are objective itās unusual to see that someone is really neutral and sees things from a distanced perspective. Even the most logical person cannot fully detach their emotions from time to time when speaking about advice or discussing a certain topic.
āā¦ most of the people in this world are neither good nor evilā, again a simple fact yet sometimes hard to understand when one has already met many people and seen the reality unfold in front of us.
Nanami mentions that most of the people are neither good nor evil, as it is true that the words good and evil are terms to describe the moral standing of a human being can only be seen subjectively most of the time. Someone who may seem evil to one person can be a good person for another, many factors play into the way we perceive a person. It goes from the very first impression, to daily habits, behaviour around work and free-time and so on.
Judging a person through categories like good or evil is simple since we sometimes just think thatās how it is but like Nanami mentions most of the people are neither. Why?
Because every person has bad and good sides and it depends which side another human sees to judge that person, if someone is truly evil or good, nobody surely can judge about that fact itās an uncertainty that can probably never be proved only in some cases as there are humans whose destructive behaviour and egotistical means to cause many casualties not caring about a single soul, is an obvious sight that cannot be hidden, as we see in Mahitoās case.
āDeath is the final destination for all of usā, there is a parallelism in this quote underlying one fact, the total opposite which is still additional to his former sentence. This fact is something proven, something that cannot be hidden nor seen subjectively as the final destination of every living being on this planet will end at some point, for some earlier and for others later. We saw that Nanami chose to tell that there are things which are not explainable, cannot be judged, discussed or are a fact since they differ from person to person.
But with death itās different, no matter how many times someone tries to run away from it death is something inevitable, everyone dies and thatās something that especially we humans have in common even if itās the only thing.
From something that can only be seen subjectively, something that is not a simple fact transiting into a fact that cannot be refuted and that even a child knows.
With birth comes death, we are destined to die at some point of our life from the moment we are born and yet even if we think: So Nanami is telling us this is a fact we cannot differ in, he adds some words to loosen the raw objectivity in his statement.
āBut no one dies the same deathā, if we have something in common which is death then there is still a difference in our similarities.
As this sentence can have many meanings, letās look at the first one: same death as in the way we die.
Truly there are a lot of ways a human life can come to an end and through the many deaths prior to our own demise that may await us at some point, one death differs from the other even if the ācauseā may be similar.
We see that even with diseases many humans show different approaches of therapy or different ways how the same disease was discovered through different symptoms.
But since there are possibilities that two people encountered the same way of death, there comes a second hidden meaning in this message: emotions and perception.
No one dies the same death, the emotions, last thoughts, decisions and many more that are made in the last moments can never be the same. Everyone has a rich inner world, their own desires, dreams and their own way to perceive things.
While others are plagued and may see death as a way of salvation others fear it and donāt even want to think about it, and those are just two simple ways to āfeelā about death as it ranges even more.
Not only that but also the aftermath of the death, depends on the people around the person as there is the third meaning: same death as in after the person has met their demise.
As many people died and were missed, there are also the kind of people who died a lonely death without even being buried, same death could refer to the way people approach the death of the person as well.
Whatever meaning was meant by Nanami or even if combined, in the end with his simple, obvious yet complex and meaningful message he wants to emphasize something, especially for people like Itadori who wish to bring everyone a good death.
There are similarities between humans and itās that we all die at some point, and whether that person is good or evil is not something that stems from your judgement alone as for most people it cannot be divided into those categories as simple as that, yet nobody will die the same death even if we all die at some point.
The ideal of wanting to give everybody the same good death is much more complex and hard to achieve, let alone by the fact that nobody dies the same way and that even if oneself thinks that the person who supposedly should have a good death doesnāt equal that others want to guarantee that.
Just as complex as the perception of humans, itās just as complex to achieve equality for everyoneās death.
Games for you to play despite having no time - pt.3
Time flies by and in a blink of an eye you suddenly see that especially in winter the darkness of the morning turns into the darkness of the night after coming home from work, university or other duties.
In the middle of little lunch breaks or our hustle life we cannot afford to play time-consuming games, but does that mean we really have to give up games all in all?
No worries, even with the little amount of time the game we will present you today might be your next companion for a little while since itās playable despite having no time.
Todayās game recommendation Secret Cat Forest by IDEASAM is perfectly made for those of you who cannot stick too long in order to play it.
Itās a mobile game available for both Android and IOS for free.
The game focusses rather on relaxing while playing and taking it easy instead of putting much effort into it that would result in having to play a lot.
With a cute ambience starting right off in the forest where a little empty house is placed, the player will have a little guide that doesnāt take longer than a minute or two.
The main feature of the game is simple: befriending kittens who each have different personalities and preferences while filling the house with furniture that the player has to build. In order to feed the kitten a little swipe to the left leads to a big tree and a little river where the player can collect resources.
Through the tree, wood can be acquired in order to build the first furniture, the river provides fish and random items that have a different drop chance depending how rare it is.
Feeding the kitten who appears when either a condition has been met or being away from the phone (screen timeout or not playing at all) leads to increasing the intimacy of them. Later on costumes, stories, pictures and more will be added to a little book that contains all the information about the kittens.
Already set a furniture but not happy with it?
No worries, with some additional wood the design can be changed later on again if the first decision is not pleasant anymore.
Depending on the time of day the ambience also changes which makes a casual afternoon with more of a lazy feeling and the night that seems a little bit more melancholic seem like two different places.
The game also provides calming sounds like the meowing of the cats when tapping at a certain cat (they also differ on the personality), water sounds of the river, rustling of the tree when getting wood, rainy days and more. It adds a little bit of ASMR for those who want to take their mind off for a bit and also enjoy a calming environment.
With Ads that are optional, the player can get more resources like fish or an opportunity to choose a logger who collects wood for an hour by simply watching an ad for 30 seconds or less, even when the app is closed.
The resource collecting is a mix of a clicker considering the wood and easy timing mini-game by collecting fish.
For those of you who like to collect and get special rewards: building several pieces of furniture from different series and combining them unlocks extra ones to decorate the house.
In Conclusion, this game is perfect for those who seek a game that is easily playable with minimal effort and time while wanting something to relax in-between breaks or other duties because it doesnāt need much focus to play. For collectors and those who like playing AFK games that even require the player to stay away from the game this is the perfect one for your next list.
And the best part - surrounded by wonderful cute kittens to fill your heart with fluffiness and a feeling of being less lonely even for a little bit.

āItās plain to see that Fukurodani isnāt Bokuto-sanās one-man team. Even so, there isnāt a single person among them more fearsome than Bokuto-sanā -Tsukishima Kei, Ch.95 page 14.
Tsukishima Kei, is often referred to as Karasunoās rational mind and the brain of the team.
Someone who knows how to read his opponent, watching them closely and guessing every moment in order to block their approach, and most of the time he does succeed.
Yet we see him utter this very words in Chapter 95, as Karasuno played against Fukurodani at the Tokyo camp, while he played against Bokuto in hall 3 previously one would think that the least problem would be Bokuto, but thatās simply wrong as Tsukishima knows who he should be careful.
By simply looking at Bokuto and comparing him to his peers of Fukurodani many people judge him for being an idiot or the opposite they think that without Bokuto Fukurodani loses their best asset.
It might be true somewhere that Bokuto is a major power point in the team but unlike Shiratorizawa who focuses their play around Ushijimaās power, Fukurodani simply uses Bokuto the best they can until he runs out of battery.
āItās plain to see that Fukurodani isnāt Bokuto-sanās one-man teamā, not only Tsukishima saw that but with Bokutoās emo mode kicking in right in front of Karasunoās eyes many thoughts of a lucky streak may arise, since the thought of Bokuto being Fukurodaniās main asset is easily engraved in the mind of people who never saw them play.
As the hard reality faces Karasuno, Tsukishima thinks for himself and sees that indeed without Bokuto Fukurodani is just as fine, with each player being just as strong and talented working around the whims of their ace.
More importantly their ace being moody and suddenly stops playing in front of their enemies eyes might even bait their opponents into thinking they are at advantage but again Fukurodaniās ace up in their sleeve is their actual ace.
They are not a one-man team, Akaashi the setter who can bring Bokuto back along with his managers and team mates if he wants to, being skilled in doing his own dump shots and little tricks and also others like Konoha who surprise Karasuno shaking off the very prejudice.
Yet with all that said Tsukishimaās words twist as he thinks, āEven so, there isnāt a single person among them more fearsome than Bokuto-san.ā
Why would Karasunoās rational mind suddenly contradict himself?
Well actually he is not really contradicting himself, since both have a connection.
Bokutoās simple and raw strength, combined with his unpredictable moods, whims and motivations make him hard to read.
Not only that even though he might be easy to read, his strength and playstyle are top-notch, meaning that even if Tsukishima may see Bokutoās plays coming he still cannot stop them many times, which is fearsome in many ways.
How frustrating must it be to know your opponents moves and yet you cannot stop them?
Or not being able to see the next move since your opponent seems like he could drop or go all out the next minute?
And this is where Fukurodani also connects to it, they are all strong because they can handle the unpredictable behaviour of their strong, simple-minded yet amazing captain who can sway them with their plays but, also they grew a thick skin due to his antics.
They are not Bokutoās one-man team which may switch the eyes of the opponents towards them again but when Bokuto is in top form or even if he is not one cannot simply ignore the skilled ace as he can suddenly stand up again before one can realize it.
Which Tsukishima immediately understood, since there are two challenges: one being the awareness that Fukurodani is just as strong without Bokuto, but also that Bokuto is strong and unpredictable, not to be ignored which raises the pressure and shifts the focus of the blocker in many ways.
A team can be strong without the strongest and the strongest can make them even stronger, and here we also see that when the strongest is missing in a way he is still the biggest asset when the team knows how to handle it.
Fukurodani shows us how calm and collected a team can be even with the fearsome Bokuto that is just as fearsome to them.
