So, How Did I Do With My Plan?

crossover_chickDo more Fallout 4 and finish up Jamaica Plain: Partially completed! I wandered around the whole of Jamaica Plain, killing ghouls and discovering the corpses of the last raiding party to go after the treasure (most of them were basically planning on killing the others, but it looks like the ghouls got to them first), picking up some of keys, IDs, and passwords I'll need to go after the treasure myself later. Also took out a little raiding party on the edge of town, and a Mr. Gutsy from an old military checkpoint, which also had a free suit of power armor! Doesn't have all the pieces, and hilariously my carry weight was LESS while I was wearing it than when I wasn't (admittedly my "standard" armor now includes a piece that ups my Strength the more rads I collect, which the power armor nullifies), but I went ahead and walked it into town, parking it in the power armor station by the workbench. Might be handy to have, right? Anyway, took out the last of the ghouls in the town hall with Preston and a couple of Police Protectrons I found, then secured the workbench, so THAT quest is good for the time being (I still have to set up resources, and tell the Sunshine Tidings settlers the good news). Next time, Preston and I tackle the treasure! :D
Catch up on some of the stuff I didn't get to yesterday in my Watch Later: Successfully achieved, though I did end up ADDING stuff to the Watch Later queue this morning, sooo. . . A recap:
A) As usual, some videos from the Fluffy Ninja Llama regarding Fallout 4 -- a few of the standard "companion reactions" (Danse is a complete ASSHOLE to the Vault-Tec Sales Rep just looking for a home), but my two favorites today was "encountering the Preston Garvey impersonator scamming people out of caps" (his "oh shit" when you make fun of his outfit or reveal you're the actual General of the Minutemen is great -- and if he goes and gets himself killed by running into a mine, why, he has a really good gun on him! Unfortunately Preston doesn't have a unique reaction if you run into the guy with him as a companion) and "The Silver Shroud at Dry Rock Gulch" (part of the Nuka-World expansion, it's a Western-themed part of the park staffed entirely by Protectrons in cowboy hats. And they react to you using the Silver Shroud dialogue. It is hilarious, made even more so by companion raider Porter Gage following the Sole Survivor around, probably hating his life more every time the SS hams it up. XD I have GOT to get this costume.)
B) Someone's very moody Fallout 4 animation "Dream," which appears to be about a version of Nate who's started traveling down a very dark path in the search for his missing son -- most of the video is atmospheric stuff regarding the various companions starting to find him -- less than worthy, let's say. Intense stuff, and makes me glad my Victor SS is a sweet guy even with all the tragedy in his life.
C) A compilation of trailers from across the Fallout series -- well, the first two, from the original two games, I would actually call "the opening cutscenes," but still. Was interesting to watch it all evolve -- and to get an idea of why people in the fandom don't talk about Brotherhood of Steel, because that trailer was so edgy you could cut yourself on it. XD
D) A quick pop over to my Subscriptions to watch the latest Fun With Shorts -- "King Calico," an episode from an old puppet theater show featuring some truly terrible puppets. XD Very goofy.
E) Jay taking on the Yandere Simulator Alphabet Killer Challenge again! Through the power of stink bombs, he got up to 26 out of 77, before accidentally sabotaging himself by getting a delinquent's attention while killing his buddy. Though the game was starting to glitch out from some near misses before (he only JUST managed to amnesia-bomb one of the bullies texting a picture to the police, and a teacher and student who discovered one of his previous dead bodies), so I don't know how much farther he would have gotten anyway.
F) GrayStillPlays Transport Fever 2 -- his evil of choice to inflict on the island of Florida and its cities (Russia, New Japanada, Upper Hell and Lower Heaven) this time being planes. So many planes flying in circles they kind of formed their own plane hurricane. It was glorious. XD And hey, the game survived up to 16,000 planes flying in the sky! So that's good to know.
G) GrayStillPlays Episode -- a particularly twisted one this time, with a "medieval" setting where the player character king dumps his wife (who has given him six daughters) and has a ridiculous competition with his mistresses to see who will be his next wife. Involves sandwich-making, a swimsuit competition, jello-wrestling, and Gray cracking up over how awful everyone involved is. XD
Start Chapter 7 of "Secundus 2:" Done! Got it in its own document now, did the first page -- and this particular chapter is only seven pages, so it should be up a LOT quicker than Chapter 6. :D Mostly because it's only an adapted "Clara hits Doc's workshop with her 'broken' telescope" scene from BTTF III. We'll be getting back into "meaty" chapters with Chapter 8, which is the Hill Valley Festival and has a lot more going on.
And that, along with getting my Valice Multiverse queue done (quiet day over there) and getting a walk outside (yeah, weather swapped to sunny and near-60! I did one loop around the block, but after seeing more people than expected outside, switched to doing laps around the house to calm my own nerves) pretty much covers my Sunday! Nothing too special, but I still enjoyed it. Time to wrap things up and head to bed. Fun with Sims 4 and "Londerland Bloodlines" tomorrow, w000~ Night all!
