Humid Friday
Aug. 18th, 2017 11:09 pmSeriously, the air is THICK out there. We were supposed to get thunderstorms, but they never actually arrived. >( And tomorrow's supposed to be hotter than today, which ended up in the low 80s despite a predicted high in the mid 70s. Dunno about the humidity, but I hope it eases up! Otherwise, bleh. At least I have good air conditioning now.
For all that, it was a pretty decent Friday. Work was work -- took me longer than I thought to do pledge billing, but I got it done in the end. Got my new "first" Mallow Hallow snippet written once I got home -- though wow, it was WEIRD to go back to that community after so long, even just to check the premise and how new arrivals were processed. . . Sad, honestly. I did enjoy my time there. But some things are not meant to be. . .at least now I can properly wrap up Victor's story with the place.
After that was Bioshock! And yet more pointless deaths and chewing through health kits fighting a Big Daddy! The worst part was when I managed to kill it -- and then realized to my horror that IT CURRENTLY DIDN'T HAVE A LITTLE SISTER WITH IT. Cue the reload, aaargh. . . I DID manage to catch and return one of its proximity mines, though. I am very proud of myself for pulling off that timing. Currently I am investigating the wharf area of Neptune's Bounty, picking up lots of audio diaries about Rapture's past (including a heartbreaking one from the mother of a girl kidnapped to be a Little Sister) and getting myself a fancy research camera. Which I now have to take pictures of Splicers with. Preferably as they're trying to kill me. This game. *facepalm* I actually AM enjoying myself, it's just MAN they make this hard! I've grown to find the hacking minigame a relaxing break from everything trying to kill me. I'm actually going to miss it when it changes in Bioshock 2. Meh.
After that (and supper) were some videos (Outside XBox is also aware of Bioshock's tenth anniversary and did a show talking about the game), and now -- well, queuing time. Just did a bunch for my VictorLuvsAlice tumblr (including the start of my Bioshock Theme Week over there), and I'm about to get the Valice Multiverse one set up. Trying to be at least semi-productive over here. So, on that note, I shall take my leave. Night all, sleep tight!
