More Washing The Bedclothes Sunday
May. 24th, 2020 11:18 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
crossover_chickMy comforter and two pillow shams today (different from my regular pillowcases -- I have two pillows I actually sleep on, and two that are sort of decorative that rest up against my headboard, and it was the latter's cases we washed today) -- took most of the day due to the drying time. My bed is still technically unmade, as I didn't see the point at making it at 6 in the evening. :P I have put the shams back on the pillows; I'm just not going to deal with the comforter until I actually go to bed. It's just throwing it back over the regular sheets anyway!
Today was a little more productive when it came to stuff and things than yesterday:
-->Had another round of the beanbag throwing game after lunch -- not my best performance. Dad won all three games, and Mom came in second in the first two -- I only managed second in the third one. And THEN we had to replay part of it because Dad accidentally put my score in the wrong column (for the first game instead of the third) -- still came second, though, so yay me. If it's not raining or anything tomorrow, hopefully I'll do better!
-->Added some more mods and did some more testing. I now have brahmin feed troughs that have PLANTS in them, plus an extra variation with water for them to drink (built one at the Abernathy's, along with giving them a street lamp to justify their generator -- also killed some super mutants attacking them); and I have extra dialogue from Piper during "Story of the Century" (just a couple of lines asking what the pre-War world was like -- I reverted to an earlier save to try that out). So far, so not-any-glitchier-than-normal! (Because that's the best you can expect from a Bethany Esda game. . .) I've also found two more bug fixes to download, though one I won't be able to see if it's working for a bit yet, as it's something to fix broken scenery in Nuka-World (namely, the bottles around the landscape suddenly growing to massive size), and I'm not anywhere NEAR accessing that DLC yet. (Well, sort of -- I think that I'm going to be the right LEVEL soon enough, but I was going to do that after main quest. . .which is another reason to restart and try to get on that sooner. . .) I'm REALLY trying to keep this mod list short, but it's HAAARD sometimes. At least most of what I get are bugfixes and little things!
-->YouTube was almost entirely one single YouTuber, with one exception:
A) Somebody showing off their Fallout protag's worst luck moments (like throwing TWO grenades at a rushing Glowing Ghoul and missing both times) – technically I saw this on TUMBLR, but it's a YouTube video, so, details
B) And then it was the GrayStillPlays Marathon!
1. Cities Skylines with a map of the whole world, in which he pulled the "separate it into haves and have-nots" experiment again – this time via the big international NO symbol. The have-nots were basically immediately drowned by backed-up ocean XD And then of course Gray pelted the entire planet with tsunamis and meteors and whatnot, sooo in the end no one won, except three lucky people who had the high ground on the "have" side. XD
2. Meteor 60 Seconds, where a guy is forced into a virtual simulation of his last minute on earth before a meteor hits, and his mother, girlfriend, and nephew all watch his choices. Gray went through every ending, and discovered that the best way to get people to like you? Do NOTHING. Seriously, like the one unabashedly positive reaction we got from the girlfriend was from standing there and breathing, because that's what she would do. As you can imagine, going around getting it on with every woman imagine leads to a rather – different result. . .also, there is basically nothing you can do that won't stop your nephew from either licking his classmates or blowing everyone up with dynamite in the future. XD
3. Episode – the good stuff! Floridamaniac was the only survivor of a plane crash on an island, and ran into a girl (also designed by Gray – kind of an "evil Wendy's mascot") and her three sisters who proclaimed him "the chosen one" who would help end their curse. By marrying one of them and dying. XD Along the way there was cave sex, and a surprise twist where Gray managed to get Floridamaniac to fend them off with a baseball bat! Of course he went back and got the guy killed, but hey, good for Floridamaniac. XD
4. Who Dies First, an extremely weird game of stick figures where you have to figure out who would die first in any given situation. Situations include a girl going from guy to guy based on their vehicles, only to get stranded in the middle of a river when a bridge breaks and her final paramour with a car drowns (first time this happened, scooter guy chucked his scooter at her to kill her; second time, the original guy killed the other two after they set up a rescue and pulled her to safety – only to have her stolen away again by a guy with a YACHT); a VERY deadly game of "capture the flag" (lots of Jackie-Chan-type shit going on); and a dude discovering a girl has blocked his romantic messages (appropriate response? ROCKET LAUNCHER). Gray guessed right about – half the time, I think? But it was all very funny to watch. XD
5. Planet Coaster, where Gray built a working ride for once – but its whole purpose was to take people to Hell. Like, literally, he hollowed out a bunch of the park and built various hellscapes, from people tumbling into piles of skulls, to people burning alive, to a pit of naughty tentacles, to snowman murder, to good old FLORIDA! Complete with cops shooting each other, sharks lunging from the sand, and cars falling atop people. It was delightful – and VERY popular, especially when he put coffee, burgers, and an ATM down there too. XD
-->Did another page on "Secundus 2" Chapter 8 -- I have temporarily split the party, and we have moved to Marty and Christopher's shooting contest! It shall be good. And then everyone will move to the buffet, which will also be good -- until it is not. You'll see. :P
-->And right now I'm doing a bit of queuing on The Valice Multiverse and a bit of extra Writing Thing with my tumblr friend -- he wanted to see my reaction to his latest addition realtime, and now we're doing a bit of extra writing (eh, it's Memorial Day, I can stay up a little later -- though I don't want to go too late; I want to get up with some time to actually do stuff in the morning). Planning on some massive Sims 4 catching up on YouTube tomorrow, at least with James Turner's stuff. But right now, I got other comments to answer -- night all!
