Damn It Origin >(
Nov. 4th, 2017 11:27 pmThe stupid updater for the service isn't working correctly, so no Sims 4 today. I'm hoping it'll be back up and running tomorrow -- I may be a week ahead with my game tumblr-wise, so I can still do an update even if I can't get on, but I really do want to actually play. I've got a project going on at the Van Dorts that I've got to get back to! (Have decided I'm not leaving that family until I finally get Alice to become a vampire, because I don't think it's going to get done otherwise.) I'll have to juggle that and BioShock tomorrow if I can -- fortunately I'm pretty well ahead with most of my YouTube stuff. Caught up on Helloween's Darkwood sets today -- the swamp is a very unnerving place with lots of creepy characters. And a giant tree made up of dead bodies. That talk. Fun! :D But Helloween's been doing pretty well -- got royally savaged one night, but otherwise he's been plodding along fairly effectively in the miserable woods. Hopefully he can get out of there with most of his bits intact.
Also watched some more Kubz Scouts videos -- I find myself consistently amused by LPs of this 60 Seconds game and the various challenges he does with it (it's a game about surviving the nuclear apocalypse -- title comes from the fact the first part is gathering as many supplies and family members as you can in 60 seconds and dumping them into the shelter. Second part is mostly a text adventure about surviving until rescue in the shelter). You wouldn't think watching something that is largely just the same screen with various small changes would be so amusing, but Jay has some good reactions. I like you, Jay. I'll keep watching you.
Other things I did today included:
-->The usual cleaning of my room/the living room
-->A post-lunch drive with Mom around various environs (we were looking for places where I could change lanes -- finally came across a spot near the end when we got on 146 to go back home. Getting better at it! Just have to not overthink it so much.)
-->Writing on "The Technicolor Phase" (did about half of the bit where Alice meets up with Victor and Victoria to get to know them; also planned out what should be the rest of the shorts, up until the birth of the Van Dorts' first child)
-->Chatting with a friend about her "Wonderland Academy AU" (actually a multifandom Valice crossover she came up with, about Victor having to adapt to a new school full of strange and interesting characters -- she did some really nice pictures of the modern Victor and Alice and Emily and Victoria from that AU)
-->Doing the RP thing on TheValiceMultivese (threads about monster battles, going after some of Bumby's compatriots, and Victor meeting another, more canon version of himself. RP really is weird)
So yeah, not too shabby on the whole productivity thing, I suppose. Still, would have been better if Origin had just cooperated. . .hmph.
Well, we'll see tomorrow. Right now, I ought to get back to my threads. Night all!
