Shockingly Quiet Friday

crossover_chickYeah, work was pretty easy today -- mostly roster maintenance after I did the GL, with a couple of calls to people to straighten out credit card stuff. We were also bleeding off people throughout the day (my supervisor and one coworker both had to attend to their dogs), so it just got quieter as time went on. Did end up leading a pack of people down the stairs when I came out, but I managed to keep ahead of them, and I didn't get out really much later than I usually do, so that was something. And traffic was pretty good getting home, so. . .I could have done much worse for the last day of this week!
Afternoon's been pretty nice too:
-->Beanbag game, as per usual -- this time I managed to win a game, and come in second twice. :) Dad won three, and Mom won one, so at least we all won once! Always nice when we all get a turn in the winner's circle. :)
-->Another bike ride for my exercise -- nothing too intense, but it keeps me relatively fit, so. . .
-->Wrote some more on "In A World Of His Own" -- Mr. Explorer, who is basically Victor's inner child, has made an appearance, and Alice has squeed over how cute he is. Victor is vaguely embarrassed and weirded out XD It's all right, though, as Mr. Explorer is going to introduce them to a very cool creature that lives in the Butterfly Jungle. . . :p
-->Watched a bit of the YouTubes:
A) As stated, I had another round on the bike, so it was time for more of Jon's Fallout 4 Survival playthrough, part 3! He is continuing his "loop" around the Commonwealth – clearing some feral ghouls out of Concord with judicious use of molotovs; managing to pick up some antibiotics and cure his lethargy, encountering the "glitch quarry" at Thicket Excavations (apparently the quarry can glitch out so parts of it are rendering where they shouldn't be, meaning it gets a hell of a lot harder to tell where the edge is) and helping Sully drain it and kill the Mirelurks, getting the shit scared out of him by a radstag doe right behind him on the way to Tenpines Bluff, trading with Lucas Miller at the settlement, and finally taking on the raiders at USFA Station Olivia (he TRIED to get a sentry bot to back him up, but the darn thing turned around just as they reached the place). So far, so not dead! XD
B) And more Call Me Kevin tonight, of course:
1. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, which is the latest Crash game! Kevin naturally had to make a joke that involved him running into things to open the video. XD The game itself looks fun, though Kevin made it harder on himself by doing the "retro" mode and thus getting to worry about lives. And he worried a lot once "dimensional shifting" became a thing – at least some parts of each level involve "shifting" between two sets of scenery so you can progress (like toggling which platform is solid as you jump between them). Poor guy needed a while to get the hang of it. . .but he did beat (with some trouble) a giant drum-pounding mech, so that's something?
2. Phasmophobia, a group voice-chat Unity game about being a group of ghost hunters. You have to go into a haunted house, figure out what kind of ghost you're dealing with, and then – well, I think the actual goal might be to neutralize it. In Kevin's world, though, what comes next is filming the homies, taking snaps of the homies, getting lost in the dark, and egging the ghosts on. The first group didn't think much of his antics, but the second one kept cracking up at his balls. XD Also, yes, Kevin did in fact die twice to ghosts. XD At least now he has an alternative to Among Us when he wants human interaction!
-->And now I'm doing some queueing and whatnot on Valice Multiverse while chatting to someone on my main tumblr -- though, unfortunately, I am back to fighting with my internet connection/computer while I do it. This bullshit is seriously getting old. . .
Anyway. Off to finish up the said queuing and whatnot (still need to get a Song Saturday post ready too, if YouTube cooperates. . .) Cleaning Saturday tomorrow, though I hope to make it a Sims Saturday too -- want to work more on my wizard tower reno. I also have a couple of Sims-related videos to watch, among others. And I imagine there will be beanbag game at some point. *nods* Sounds good, right?
Okay, let's finish up that queue. Night all!
