Successful Saturday!
Jun. 8th, 2019 11:48 pmAlthough I'm rapidly running out of it, so let's try to keep this quick:
-->Got my room cleaned up, hooray! There wasn't a HECK of a lot in the way of dust around the place, but it was starting to become just a bit visible on my shelves. So yeah, felt good to do a proper dust/Swiffer/vacuum again.
-->Played Fallout 4, w000! Played around with the workshop crafting system for a little bit -- made a shack house on the foundation of a ruined one, and put a couch, a chair, a bed, and a toilet in it. You know, the essentials. :p So yeah, if someone wants to live in a nice little shack, they can. :p I then grabbed Preston Garvey as a companion, and fast-traveled to Lexington with the INTENTION of going to solve the raider problem at the next settlement he pointed me towards. . .
Then I remembered I hadn't yet fully looted the local supercenter -- ran out of room in both my inventory and Dogmeat's first time I tried. So we instead headed there, raided the place, killed a bunch of feral ghouls, and -- found some dead minutemen. A bit awkward when you have the last one hanging around as your companion. I tapped the brakes on my looting ways a bit and left the minutemen corpses clothed out of respect to his fallen teammates. (Normally I loot EVERYTHING on dead bodies, which generally involves leaving them very naked.) Left off after exploring a laundromat and peeking into a parking garage -- I'll probably do some more looting when I next load up the game, stop by either the Red Rocket or Sanctuary to drop off all the junk, then make another attempt to go help those settlers. XD One of these days, I'm getting back to the plot, I swear.
-->Watched all of my Outstar Vampire: the Masquerade videos in my Watch Later queue! This included an informational video on vampire sex (basically, you need to be of decent Humanity to even fake the act, and of really high -- but not the highest -- Humanity to enjoy it. Essentially it's just a easy way for certain vampires to feed), and videos on each of the clans available in Bloodlines 2 -- Thin-Bloods (not really a clan, per say, but they have their own unique disciplines, curses, and advantages, so close enough), Brujah, Tremere, Toreador, Ventrue, and Malkavian. It was all pretty interesting stuff -- I learned a lot about how each clan works in the current version of Vampire: the Masquerade, V5, their histories, templates for roleplaying, all that fun stuff. Apparently some Brujah and Ventrue are a little more alike than they'd want to admit. . . Anyway, it was great to finally get those watched -- I've been meaning to get to them for weeks now! Yay vampires~
-->As you might imagine, all this binging on V:tM videos meant I did my writing on Londerland Bloodlines. Working on the scene where Alice finally agrees to give Victor another drink of her blood. It's -- kind of a weird thing, because Alice is giving in because she loves him and doesn't want him to die or end up in the clutches of another vampire (who would be less inclined to treat him well), but she knows that the blood bond isn't exactly a POSITIVE thing, and she wants to make sure Victor knows that too. Victor does, but he loves her too and just wants to be with her, and -- it's romantic, yet twisted? But then again, I have a lopsided view on this anyway, given my mind control kink. Either way, it's an interesting scene, and I'm enjoying writing it. :)
-->As for other fic, got up an edited version of another one of Gigs's gift fics: Uncowventional. No truly MAJOR changes (beyond adding more cows), but I still feel it's an improvement over the original. :) Funny to think I wrote it three years ago. . .where the hell does the time go?
-->And finally, DOUBLE Sims 4 announcement today -- the upcoming expansion pack, Island Living, and an upcoming game pack in the fall, Realms of Magic! As you might expect, I'm much more excited for the second one, because it looks like we're FINALLY getting our witches expansion! :D Oooh, can't wait. . .though I am eager to see Island Living in action. I've been jonesing a bit for a beachy world. Now all we need is the University expansion. . .also dragons in Realms of Magic. I just -- really want a dragon in my Sims 4 game.
Okay, now back to the struggle of trying to keep up with my tumblrs and my inbox. . .I think some of this stuff isn't getting answered until tomorrow morning. *sigh* Night all!
