crossover_chickAs in, they were fairly achey a good portion of the day, bleck. I felt fine beyond the tension in my nose, so I'm pretty sure I'm not sick -- just dealing with barometer changes in the weather, yaaay. *sigh* On the plus side, though, while the day started out pretty icky and gloomy, it got sunny near the end -- and warmed up a LOT! I've actually got my WINDOWS OPEN right now because it's still warm enough to have them open! I don't even need my bathrobe to stay warm! Now this is how you start off May. :D
Also how you start off May:
-->Answered a friend's PM on FF.net, and FINALLY left a review on the next chapter of my friend's big fanfic (along with a quick apology about HOW LONG it's taking me to read it -- I am easily distracted and often not in the right mood, hmph)
-->Watched Jay's latest Yandere Simulator video, in which the Basu sisters have some new, interesting conversations you can listen in on. Fills you in on some of the world lore, and makes them seem a little less than -- human. . . Also a fun little conversation between two of the science club members regarding "Yanvania: Senpai of the Night." The new voiced lines are interesting, but I couldn't help but notice the animations are really glitching out in this new build -- mostly because Jay found a way to get the sisters' torsos to spin in place while they were talking. XD Oh deary dear. . .
-->Downloaded some Sims 4 custom content for later -- Srsly Sim's stuff, including some cool conversions from previous games, and her cooking mod! I've been wanting to try it for a while, and I'm hoping to take the plunge soon. (Though I may wait until after Tuesday, just so I'm not surprised by a patch.)
-->Played some Sims 4 -- back to A-Maze-Ing Wonderland! And I found a solution to my problem with Queensland and trying to fit it around the other stuff -- put it UNDERGROUND, like how the Queen's throne room actually is in A:MR. Had to place her under the world pretty carefully, though -- turns out that, even with the basement walls at their highest level, the very tippity-top of her throne clips through the ground. Fortunately I found a spot where it wouldn't be noticeable, then adjusted the room and decorated it to my heart's content. It's actually sort of intended as a wedding chapel -- the arch that I downloaded has that functionality, so I set up the area with some Queen thrones to sit in and watch around a central aisle. XD I might have to try and find some meaty textures for the walls and floor, but what I've got works for now. And now I have a space right above her to set up my Looking-Glass Land chess area! And then it's just a matter of adding in a place for the Dollhouse stuff (which I think will be the playground), and the new park should be all set! I'm actually really liking how this all coming together -- it's been fun, trying to design a maze for my Sims to navigate and encounter all this fun stuff. :D Granted, I'm not sure how navigable it all is just yet -- MOST of it should be fine, but I worry a bit about how crowded with items the "Deluded Depths" spot is -- but we shall playtest it later. I can always tweak as necessary!
-->Wrote some more on "Londerland Bloodlines" -- Alice has been spooked twice by mysterious happenings outside the house, so it's time to head indoors and navigate the maze of "murder husband ghost" and "frightened wife ghost." *claps hands and rubs them together* Should be fun! For me, of course -- not Alice so much. XD
-->Watched:
A) Call Me Kevin play a selection of horrible Harry Potter-themed mobile games, ranging from a game that gave him a "0" just for clicking the start button (he did actually get into the actual game -- it was a "click the snitch" game), to a terrible Minecraft rip-off in "Garry Craft" clothes; to a 3-D sniper game he downloaded after seeing an ad because he thought it looked more fun than the games he was actually playing. XD
B) Call Me Kevin diving into "Hardcore" Minecraft, where, if he dies, it's permanent -- and he loses the world he spawned in too. Naturally much of the video consisted of him being scared he was going to die, and finding surprisingly good loot around the place making him even MORE nervous he was going to die horribly. XD But he has not died yet -- in fact, he's made himself some nice iron armor and a diamond pickaxe, and started work on his very own castle! So that was fun. :)
C) Call Me Kevin causing mass chaos in Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 by creating the most lethal amusement park ever. The go-carts fling themselves into the animal pen (which is just a bunch of wooden fencing), the car-driving ride plows into people; the roller coaster goes vertical then shoots down again -- and flies off the track, again plowing into people; and everything has just constant screaming as music. A+ theme park, would go again! XD
D) GrayStillPlays having fun with an "alcoholism" CC trait in The Sims 4, trapping 100 Sims in a nightclub to see who lasted the longest. As usual, urination in public leading to lethal embarrassment was the leading cause of death, but it was closely followed by cardiac explosion (the Sims this time tended to get REALLY ANGRY about their drinks) and starvation (why eat food when you can have "juice?"). Hilarious stuff, as always XD
E) Plumbella touring some absolutely gorgeous builds made out of her "Plumhella" shell (the one with the awful triangle bit at the top). Seriously, what people did with this horror was incredible -- you had stuff like a Baby-Yoda-filled alien house; a gorgeous Selvadoradan spa; and a modern house built in a bunch of ancient ruins. I am proud of my little A:MR-themed park, but this sort of thing ALWAYS blows me away. Damn, guys.
-->Got a couple things queued for Victor Luvs Alice, and finished up my queue for Valice Multiverse, w000~
And now I just have to answer the inbox things before heading off to the Friday Night Writing Thing! Tomorrow is a cleaning Saturday, and if the weather's nice enough I'll probably be getting outside for a walk in SOME capacity. But I hope to at least catch up on the 600th episode of Atop the Fourth Wall (three-parter!) and resolve my Fallout 4 modding situation (there are so many cool ones out there, but they all seem to need other mods or have weird bugs or do things I wouldn't want in my game and -- yeah. I think I'm gonna stick with a few light mods, like the Unofficial Patch. And something to stop Preston from giving me quests every time I talk to him. And some apple trees :p). Also get up the latest chapter of "Secundus 2." *nods* Night all!
