Happy April Fool's Day
Apr. 1st, 2021 11:12 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
crossover_chickNot that I really celebrated -- I'm not good with pranks, and there's no one to play them on anyway. I just like stuff like silly joke videos and the like anyway. Which, happily, YouTube did provide. . .
But yeah, quiet day overall -- Mom got her first shot of the vaccine, yay~ That's all of us with at least one! (Dad, being the oldest, has already gotten both of his, whew). And as for me and the to-do list --
1. Double up on Kevin and Gray, and watch the Sims-related videos in my Watch Later: Check! This was helped a bit by a) the videos I was watching being shorter than yesterday’s and b) the day of the week, as you shall see. . .
A) Started with a pre-gaming watch of the shortest video on my list – Carl’s Sims Guides looking at what actually changed when The Sims 4 updated some of their traits! This is something I’ve personally been wondering about, since they apparently added some actions and idles to some of them to make them more immediately obvious. According to Carl’s research, Clumsy Sims will break items they use more often, Neat Sims will feel much more compelled to clean, Gloomy Sims will act as if they’re sad even if they’re not, Good Sims can help out others and reduce the length of their negative moodlets, while Cheerful Sims can “Look on the Brightside” and reduce their own negative emotions, among other changes. They’re good, personality-adding additions, and it annoys me more attention wasn’t given to this. Meeh – at least now I know!
B) Then it was over to Outside Xtra for a Sims-themed video – “What Are Our Sims Life Goals?? We Take a Sims Life Aspiration Quiz!” Yes, Luke and Ellen took a Buzzfeed quiz about which Sims 4 aspiration suited them best, with much giggling from Ellen and occasional pop-ins from the very bald Producer Jon. :p Along the way, we learned things like Luke enjoyed skiing, but is now worried about going in case he falls over and “dies” due to his age; Ellen actually played soccer at one point but had to drop it in college due to a conflicting class on Flash animation (now useless); Luke really enjoys tropical scenes, to the point where his desktop is generally some sort of tropical island locale (also means he really enjoys Island Living!); and Ellen is the daughter of two librarians, but doesn’t consider herself particularly well-read. Their answers led to “Friend of the Animals” for Luke (he was deeply confused, as Ellen was the one who chose Cats & Dogs on the expansion pack question), and “Bestselling Author” for Ellen (also confused because of the whole “not very well-read” thing). They promptly started joking Luke would get dozens of pigeons and a fox, and Ellen would come over his place and write about him as a not-so-good Dr. Doolittle. XD Just a bit of silly fun from the gang~ (Oh, and I took the quiz myself, as they provided a link to it – “Bestselling Author,” probably on the basis I picked “writer” as the career option XD Well, I do write quite a bit!)
C) Then it was onto Plumbella, who decided to rank every pack that has been released for the Sims franchise as a whole (well, at the time the list was created – it was missing Eco Lifestyle, Nifty Knitting, Journey to Batuu, Snowy Escape, and Paranormal, plus all the kits). She reserved the “S” rank for “love this purely for sentimental reasons” and ranked the rest A through D. To her own surprise, a decent amount of Sims 4 made it up there (like Laundry Day and Vampires), while a good amount of previous games’ expansions were in B through D. I mean, it’s all subjective, but for as much as she complains (rightfully!) about Sims 4 lacking depth. . . In my own personal rankings, I definitely would have put Sims 2 Seasons in A rank, and Sims 1 Makin’ Magic in S – I have a lot of fond memories of both, and it was just fun, you know? Funner than my gameplay today, that’s for sure. . .
D) Then, this evening, it was time to catch up with Call Me Kevin! We had, in order:
I. A trip to the high seas with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag! Kevin took control of – well, one of the cutscenes said his name was Edward. Anyway, he was a pirate who ended up on a boat that wrecked when an assassin leapt on it, survived and ended up on the same island as the assassin, ended up killing him, and decided to impersonate him because apparently said assassin was due a reward for delivering something to Havana. So Edward teamed up with a merchant seaman to get to Havana and claim the reward!
. . .This was all revealed AFTER Kevin had to restart the game because it broke so badly when he first started it up, none of the crew had loaded in save one floating man. XD And even after he got the game to work, he was his usual Keviny self – delaying his mission to go hunt treasure on the island; stumbling through the combat; hiring dancers at every opportunity to distract guards (which actually turned out to be an optional objective!); and badly ballsing up stealthing through a lock-up trying to get his new friend’s sugar, and his own maps, back (the mission only being saved by the help of a Hitman cupboard he could hide in). Truly, he is the worst pirate ever, and we love him for it. XD
II. Kevin trying to find an emotional song to help connect with his subscribers and try to lure in more. He tried out a few things on his guitar, but none of them was quite what he was looking for – until a friend on Discord gave him just what he needed. . .
A parody song about Fortnite. XD Yeah, April Fools was in full swing here, but a) Kevin actually sang the song very well, and b) it was surprisingly catchy! I suspect this is going to be playing in my head randomly over the next week. Which I guess makes me the real fool. Thanks, Kevin. XD
E) And then it was onto the SINGULAR GrayStillPlays video – yes, I forgot because time off screws up my ability to tell what day of the week it is, but it IS Thursday, meaning it’s his day off! Fortunately this meant I also had plenty of time to catch up with yesterday’s Minecraft video! Which was EPIC – Gray not only made it so the landscape spawns tons of good gear so he doesn’t have to waste time making it himself, he made his boots into ROCKET EXPLOSION boots. Even the LEATHER ones left a pretty decent-sized crater whenever he dared to jump – the NETHERITE ones basically DESTROYED THE LANDSCAPE. And took out the Ender Dragon in one jump. It was glorious. :D Not to mention, we have a new mascot for the series – Reginald! The one chicken that survived Gray’s last assault on the game. Gray gave him a top hat and bow tie and made him immortal and his permanent follower. Chicken ended up on FIRE once and it didn’t stop him. XD Fantastic. I love that he’s gone back into “give this game ALL THE ZEROES” mode for this – reminds me of Gray when I first started watching. XD
F) And, finally, a bonus video from Jon of Many a True Nerd, doing a Fallout: New Vegas speed run! He’s discovered a few tricks that let you complete the game in under ten minutes, you see, including things like putting in specific stats for your SPECIAL at the beginning of the game, finding a way to really speed through text box conversations, doing the hokey pokey to launch himself out of the game’s boundaries and kill himself, reloading in Fallout 3, humping a gnome, making that game crash so Stellaris loads. . .yeah, April Fools. XD I figured it had to be a joke from the start, but the amount of ridiculous bullshit he stuffed into this vid was delightful. Oh Jon. XD
2. Write some more on "Londerland Bloodlines": Check! With the help of accidentally activating Obfuscate, Alice successfully sneak-attacked the first vampire in the underground – and then got jumpscared by Jack showing up again. XD Poor Alice, she is not having a good day. . .but at least she’s gotten to learn that she has a natural talent for invisibility. And she’s about to learn what use she can put Auspex to as well. Dementation. . .well, that comes a bit later. . .
3. Play Sims 4 and complete another day in the Newcrest Adventures save: Check, though it nearly wasn’t. I started up the game around 2:15, got back to the McFlys on Mt. Komorebi, got everyone’s needs up, then sent them all on a hike to the Cave Statue (actually statues, plural – it’s cute snow monkeys!). It was a successful hike, with Marty even successfully defending himself from murder hornets, and I had everyone hang out at a nearby snowy bit of land with some stuff to dig up before trying to get Marty to bring everyone back home on another hike.
Firstly, MC Command Center caught a last exception.
Then, a couple of minutes later, the game crashed.
THEN I discovered, despite having turned it off, OneDrive was on and trying to sync all of my files, making copies of the ones it can’t sync.
As you might imagine, I was a little annoyed. I stopped the sync and went ahead and just uninstalled OneDrive, since obviously telling it NOT to turn on at startup was no longer working. Then, since my game had crashed before I’d thought to save, I deleted all the pictures I’d just taken, because, well, no longer relevant! And then I deleted all the duplicated files and opened up the game again.
Opened up in windowed mode for some reason, with all of the pop-ups regarding the packs I’d bought, so I closed it back down, got out of Origin entirely, and then reopened both. This opened up the game correctly, but then I realized Script Mods had been disabled when the usual pop-up about MC Command Center didn’t appear when I loaded the household, so I had to re-enable that, THEN restart the game once more. Fortunately, that time it took, and I repeated the whole “hike to the Cave Statues” thing without incident (and with much more saving). After sending them back to the little park area, MC Command Center caught another last exception when I tried to have them hike back, so I decided that was obviously the problem, canceled the interaction, then sent the kids to sled on the bunny slopes (Jennifer ended up joining them) and Marty to go snowboarding on the easy slope. For some reason, that interaction got borked when I tried to have him activate his streaming drone at the same time to record it, so I had him play some guitar up there instead, then ended the stream and finally got him to go snowboarding. Got everyone home successfully, we’ll see how it goes from there. I’m just annoyed I basically lost an hour to the crash and the resultant fuckery. *sigh* Why is A:MR the only game of mine that’s properly functioning these days. . .
4. Get in a workout: Check – more time on the bike, more time with Jon's Fallout 4 Survival Playthrough! After finishing off the last of BioScience (namely, the gorillas themselves), Grills told the rest of the team about what had happened, then headed out of the Institute for the last time, almost fully prepared to go back to the Brotherhood and set in motion his sudden but inevitable betrayal. What do I mean by “almost?” Well, Jon didn’t want to just send Grills in as he was – he felt that, to minimize repercussions, Grills should have a disguise! His souped-up power armor was a good start, but he really wanted something to cover Grills’s face (other than his trademark bandanna), and so he decided to visit D.B. Technical High School! Mostly because it’s yet another location he’d never visited before, and the comments told him that there was an interesting prize to be had in there. He flew over by vertibird and took out the raiders both outside and in, hardly breaking a sweat as he’d already passed by the place when very low level, and thus the raiders themselves were locked at levels between 1 and 30 (with that only showing up on a Legendary – decent weapon, though, Penetrating .44). Listening to their comments about their boss and his weird mascot head lead him to the basement – though, first, he found a secret entrance/exit into the subway tunnels beneath the generator room! Yeah, apparently this area links up with the subway station by the Theater District, meaning you can sneak into one through the other. Jon thought that was neat.
After that little detour (killing more raiders and a few bloodbugs), he headed back up into the basement proper again, and finally located his target – Bosco! A level 99 raider with crap armor that Grills was able to take out in one shot. Going to the guy’s terminal revealed a sad tale – while Bosco was never a nice person (threatening and killing the smaller gangs around downtown to force them to join up with him), he got considerably worse after a dog bite from a lackey's pet gave him rabies. Started killing his own men and hallucinating that a beast was slaughtering them – and when his raiders tried to placate him with a mascot bear head, he started wearing it to “make a statement.” Ooof. Makes you think that Grills taking him out was a mercy kill.
Grills, however, was not thinking of mercy – no, he was thinking of disguises! And that mascot head, looted from Bosco’s unfortunate corpse, pretty much was perfect – well, except for the huge hole in the side. Jon attempted to equip Grills’s usual combo of welding goggles and red bandanna, but apparently those things aren’t allowed in power armor. But, weirdly enough, he could equip the Cappy Glasses! Possibly because those are actually a quest item, and the game doesn’t want to force you out of your power armor every time you want to wear them? Who knows – Jon certainly didn’t. After trying a few tricks, he decided the mascot bear head/Cappy Glasses combo would have to do for the disguise. Honestly, given that Grills is normally wearing a hat, welding goggles, and a bandanna, I think actually being able to see more of his face is sufficiently disorienting as a disguise. XD
With that sorted, it was back up to the Prydwen, to talk to Kells and finally turn in the “murdering the Railroad” quest and get the prompt to go talk to Proctor Ingram. Grills also took a moment to check out his new personal quarters – you know, the ones that used to belong to Danse? Jon was very appreciative that it was apparently already set up for Dogmeat with a dog bowl and bloatfly meat. Suddenly I understand why people think Danse was supposed to have a dog. Anyway, I left it with Grills checking on Quinlan’s office to see if P.A.M was there – I suspect we’ll be finishing this episode with Grills and Ingram going to Mass Fusion to pick up the power source for Prime! We’ll see tomorrow. . .
5. Keep up on the Valice Multiverse queue: Check! Just one ask, and a couple of things from the tags I track over there. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. :)
So yeah, not bad, right? Admittedly that Sims thing was annoying, but hopefully I won't run into the same problems when I play again on Saturday. . .actually, I can't, one of the problems I uninstalled, but you know what I mean.
Okay -- I'm actually doing a bonus Writing Thing Night with one of my friends on tumblr, so I have to wrap this up here. Let's set up tomorrow's to-do list:
1. Watch the two OXBox/OXtra list videos in my Watch Later, along with keeping up on YouTube Subs
2. Write some more on "In A World Of His Own"
3. Play Alice: Madness Returns and get past at least the second Sacred Scroll
4. Get in a workout
5. Keep up on the Valice Multiverse queue
6. Answer my two FF.net PMs
Yes, slightly longer list than normal, but now that I've got two PMs to worry about, I'm hoping making them a list item will kick my brain into gear when it comes to answering them. And it's not like the rest of it will be particularly hard to keep up on. . .as it stands, I have a final comment to answer, then the writing thing to get to. Night all!
But yeah, quiet day overall -- Mom got her first shot of the vaccine, yay~ That's all of us with at least one! (Dad, being the oldest, has already gotten both of his, whew). And as for me and the to-do list --
