Even More Humid Saturday
Aug. 19th, 2017 11:31 pmAnd definitely hotter -- I only went outside for a little bit, to get a frozen hot chocolate from Dunkin, but MAN was that more than enough! It was definitely a day of horrible wet heat. I'm just glad our house up here stays pretty cool naturally -- and can be cooled even further just from having my parents AC on and a fan in the hallway to blow it out! My own AC has been blasting away to help out. And tomorrow's apparently supposed to be more of the same. Well, I have no big plans, so. . .
Despite the heat, I had a pretty good Saturday. Here are the major highlights:
-->Finally got the rest of my pictures hung up! Well, most of them -- one I ditched because, well, it was the poor man's version of the BTTF II poster, and now that I have said poster, I didn't see the need to keep it. This happily provided us with a mat to replace a janky one on one of my other pictures, and frame to replace a broken one on yet another picture. So it all worked out pretty well. Certainly gives the whole place a more lived-in feel.
-->Wrote my final Mallow Hallow snippet, detailing Victor returning to his own world. Felt good to do a wrap-up for that, and to look at the old threads again. (And revise my new "first" drabble because, oh hey, I did actually say what Victor was doing right before he landed in Mallow Hallow. . .) Though in a bittersweet way. . .four years since that game ended, wow. At least now that version of Victor has some closure. (Although -- hey,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
anonymoose_au, do you mind if I have Pinkie make a cameo in that last story? She and Victor became pretty good friends, and I kinda wanted to end things on a happy note of "Victor still has his communicator and it still works" with her contacting him. . .
-->Watched a bunch of videos, including the latest Parenthood set (Max has been made over into something somewhat less horrific -- only to soil himself with a badly-timed fart (YES THIS IS A THING IN SIMS 4), some "OutsideXBox plays Hitman" (they are HORRIBLE AT IT XD), and Helloween's latest Pripyat set (poor man had to become the Lord of Quicksave to keep a stupidly-fragile AI partner doing tests for the local scientists from dying to the wildlife/randomly spawned dudes. Best one was when said partner had completed the tests, only to die moments later from one last random batch of wild pigs. Helloween was raging, it was great XD). Ahh, good times.
-->Played Sims 4 -- Jennifer McFly is officially pregnant! :D And I switched one of the lot traits to "On Ley Line," so there's a chance she'll have twins! I ended up renovating their house to better accommodate the upcoming little one(s) -- not a lot of room to work with on their lot, but I was able to add a mini-hallway and split Jennifer and Marty's bedroom into their bedroom and a kid's room. Also upgraded some of their kitchen appliances and got them some new paint and wallpaper (too many of my houses are white on the inside!). Of course, now I have to stick with the family until the baby/babies are born, since I learned from Alice's pregnancy those don't pause when you go off-lot, but that's no big deal. Maybe I'll have a "baby shower" to fill the time. :p
-->And currently doing the RP thing while keeping up with my main tumblr and getting more BioShock Week posts queued. Spent a fair amount of time poking around the Wiki, honestly -- though getting too into the Infinite sections is a bit risky, since I'm trying to avoid too many spoilers. (Despite already knowing one of the big twists. . .but I don't have context for it or anything else, so I think I'm still all right to enjoy the game.) But it's still fun, especially looking up all the Plasmids and such. Looking forward to my next play session tomorrow. :)
Okay, time to go back to replies. Night all!
