crossover_chickThe former because I got caught up reading a bunch of examples of "Reality Ensues" on TV Tropes on my iPad periodically throughout the day; the latter because of my parents rushing around to complete stuff before the football game today, my mom having a bad day at work, and me having to deal with some glitchiness and annoyances in my Sims game. But the to-do list was accomplished:
Watch Helloween's latest Dead Space 2 set: Isaac has sent Ellie away on a convenient gunship so she can be rescued while he goes and deals with the marker, accompanied by his hallucinations of his dead girlfriend (who have at least gotten a lot nicer now). He's also slaughtering many necromorphs and dodging many lasers. Good stuff! :)
Play some Sims 4: I did update my MC Command Center, and I did get the patch downloaded (which took a while), and proceeded to have a pretty decent "end of summer" with Emmett and Nikal. They celebrated "Talk Like A Pirate" day, had the McFlys and Goths over for a casual weenie roast (which is good, because the glitchiness I mentioned before means they would have failed a goaled one -- they wouldn't go actually roast weenies! No matter what I did or where I moved the fire, they kept acting like they couldn't get to it for that one specific interaction, which I do not get) --
Oh, and BOTH NIKAL AND EMMETT GOT ABDUCTED BY ALIENS. No lie -- Nikal in the early morning, Emmett IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARTY. Both were returned unharmed, and both got a focused "Aliens are awesome!" moodlet from the experience, but wtf?? I even got an achievement for having three Sims abducted after Emmett came back (remember, my first Sim to get abducted was Victor). Emmett is CURRENTLY not showing any signs of being alien pregnant, but -- well. We'll see when I next load up the game. *facepalm* Ugh, and I wasn't planning on them having kids yet. . .
Write some more on "Secundus 2": Doc and company have just found out Barkis and Buford stole some of Doc's Presto-Logs. Which means the final train chase just became a lot more high-speed. Not to mention the train on the ground is heading for Shonash Ravine's incomplete bridge. . .yeah, the gang is kind of panicking now. And we're not done yet. . .
On top of that, I:
-->Watched a whole heap of videos:
1. an update video on Yandere Simulator (apparently there's a build with the first rival actually on the horizon)
2. an update on Jay from the Kubz Scouts's life (he's gonna be a father! He and his beloved are having a boy in October)
3. a video from lilsimsie where she points out how ugly the Realm of Magic lots are and how some of them are missing key features, like a back door (all legit complaints which make me sorry about the state of the Sims 4 -- I just wish she'd stop calling occults "stupid")
4. a video from Plumbella where she trolled her mom with bad builds she made and that she passed off as builds from kids (Mambella was none too pleased when she learned the trick XD)
5. a video from onlyabidong about features you might not know about in Realm of Magic (I actually did know about them, but it was nice to get more info and see how some of them actually worked, like death by overload)
6. and the latest "Rags to Riches Island Edition" episode from James (which can be summed up as "James spends too long trying to make a little stall outside using buy debug objects to sell leftover furniture and stuff, proceeds to have same glitch with bathtub that I had with my firepit so it seems the Sims itself is at fault for this." We're ALMOST to the end -- he just needs to make those final little touches to the house, and he's set!)
-->Took a walk outside -- decent weather today, so I definitely wanted to get out and about! 5 times around the neighborhood, go me.
-->Got my Valice Multiverse queue sorted -- which wasn't TOO big a feat, as I only had the one ask, but still. Accomplishment.
-->Answered the comments waiting in my inbox, which is a slightly bigger accomplishment. w000
And now I have to go to bed as another work week is upon us. We'll see how chaotic Monday is. *sigh* Night all!
