Well I'm Grumpy NOW. . .

crossover_chickMostly because everything past 10 o'clock or so has suddenly been a fight to get working. Dunno if it's shitty internet or the computer itself being a dick. . .probably both, to be honest. Ugh. . .and on a night where I've got a surprising number of things to try and answer. . .welp, don't think I'm getting to all of them tonight now, given I've got less than a half hour until I ought to get to bed. . .
Some quick things about my day, so I have SOME time to finish a couple of things up:
-->Work was quieter (one of my coworkers was out; think her asthma was playing up -- at least, I HOPE that's all it is), though I did have one phone call that came in the moment I sat down to lunch, and like an idiot I took it. Twenty-five minutes later, I'd done someone's credit card gift and was fuming about my chances of getting to eat. *sigh* At least that was the main major annoyance of the day. . .
-->Beanbag game this afternoon, since despite some threatening-looking clouds the weather was good -- Mom won the first game, Dad won second and fifth, and I won third and fourth. So that at least was satisfying. :)
-->Did another bike ride after that, keepin' fit~
-->And did the YouTubing:
A) More bike, more of Jon's Fallout 4 Survival playthrough! Remember how I said that Jon was looking for a bed to save in before the end of the episode I was watching? Well, he ended up in a ghoul-infested area (also met Timothy, the synth trying to get to Bunker Hill), and while trying to avoid them accidentally triggered a mine in a building. So he reloaded, went to Beantown Brewery, killed the raiders, took a nap, killed Tower Tom (the leader of said raiders), looted his combat rifle, upgraded it to a Tactical Combat Rifle, and THEN went to take care of the feral ghouls assaulting Danse and company. XD And THIS time, he actually managed to hold his own enough to help Danse fend them off without dying. Him agreeing to accompany Danse to Arcjet ended Episode 4, and the trip to Arcjet started Episode 5 (after he put away some of his goodies so he could loot the place). A few dogs and raiders on the way didn't pose much of a problem, and Danse is pretty decent at taking out synths on his own, so Jon had it pretty easy! . . .Up to the point where he decided to try and help him out with the bunch of synths that spawn in once you get to the rocket testing area. Promptly got murderlated, promptly decided "I'm doing this the easy way and firing off said rocket." XD (For those wondering, yes, Danse is under the rocket too – no, he doesn't die. He thinks his power armor saved him, but it's actually a hint he's more than he appears. . .) That's where I left it for the day – we'll see how things go once Arcjet's finished and Jon has Righteous Authority!
B) Then, after supper and writing, it was time for some Call Me Kevin! Including:
1. Hey, did you guys know that Kevin apparently tried his hand at writing a creepypasta once? And that said creepypasta was "The Supermarket Monster?" Apparently this thing became a beloved classic over on CrappyPasta (the old sister site, now defunct), so Kevin decided to read it out and have it animated for us all to enjoy! XD It's – so bad and yet so funny. And then he spent the other half of the video looking at OTHER people attempting to read his nonsense – it was great, seriously. You gotta check it out if you haven't heard it. Give hobo Roger and his fat-punching fists some love!
2. More Among Us! With the gimmick this time being, he's playing in black and white! Yeah, in a game where people call each other out by their colors rather than their usernames, usually. . . He was hilariously bumbling in the early games, just going along with what others said – but then, in one lobby, he found Ollie and Rosa, and quickly formed a Power Trio with them. Said Power Trio then proceeded to completely ruin the day of one poor Turkish bastard who was using a Turkish phrase starting with "Ben" as a user name, so Kevin kept calling him Ben. Basically, Kevin got impostor, got Ollie and Rosa to trust him, killed someone in front of Ben, then – with their help – got everyone to vote off Ben. And then he managed to roll that dice a SECOND time and come up sixes, meaning Ben got voted off AGAIN. Ben was – not happy (there was a lot of Turkish swearing, apparently), and started calling all the emergency meetings to get Kevin voted off, only to get HIMSELF voted off. . . And then Ollie got impostor and sliced poor Rosa. And then Kevin got killed at the beginning of his final game thanks to a game glitch. XD But you know what the best part was?
OLLIE WAS IN THE COMMENTS! First time I've seen one of Kevin's AU friends find him! :D Ollie was super excited, and everyone was directing him to Kevin's Discord so they could try and connect again. :)
C) And then a trip over to GrayStillPlays for his latest "completely break this stick figure in as many ways as possible" game, Stickman Falling! This one is, yes, a series of terrible pits with saws and crushers and steam and arrow turrets and whatnot. And not only do you get vehicles – including a large bouncy exercise ball that proved to be VERY useful – you also get things you can strap to your stickman, including C4 and missiles. XD Gray found a LOT of ways to get his stickman stuck on and destroyed by the scenery with various combinations of ball and missile. So many ways to get infinite points! He seriously got over one million on one board after getting stuck under a saw! It was delightful. :D
-->Wrote some more on "Londerland Bloodlines" (Part 1, as I should call it now -- thinking "Santa Monica's Deluded Depths" for an official title) -- Alice successfully confused Therese, both with genuine contrition and a short summary of some of the shit she's been up to (also, Vandal's officially in trouble :p). She's now going off to the diner to meet with Jeannette -- though I'm already having her suspect this is an attempt on Therese's part to kill her now. Fortunately her would-be assassins are not immune to being talked down. . .
-->And after that and the evening YouTube is when I started having to fight with everything, including getting my queues done for my two tumblrs. My own fault for not getting on that sooner, I guess. Just I didn't expect to have to STRUGGLE so much with getting pages to load. . .
Okay. Gonna finish up what I can on Victor Luvs Alice and Valice Multiverse, answer the one short RP comment on here I think I can get to, and then hit the sheets. Maybe I can make up for a little lost time in the morning before work too. And then tomorrow -- well, we'll see how that goes. *sigh* Night all!
