Another Quickie Post
May. 26th, 2021 11:27 pmMostly because this hot-and-sticky day ended in some thunderstorms, meaning I had to turn my computer off for a while. They seem to be gone now, at least, sooo:
-->Work was pretty quiet, but annoying in its own way -- mainly due to the fact I spent a lot of it tracking down some information regarding the credit-card mess and trying to make sure my summaries were actually good for future meeting stuff. Didn't help that it was kind of a distracted day. . .hopefully tomorrow will be a little better.
-->Played some more beanbags after I got home, of course, since it was nice then – 3-W-2 for me today, with Mom winning the first game and Dad winning the third. Granted, my win was partially luck – Dad got a beanbag stuck on the edge of the hole that would have won him the game – but hey! We all won one, and that’s nice. :)
-->And did decent enough on the to-do list:
1. Get in a workout: Check! Back on the bike, back with “Fallout 4: Lockdown!” Captain Bad Ideas has completed the basics of her settlement – she has a farmer and a guardsman, she has built the Wooden Post Forest and the Toolbox Art Installation for enough XP to get her up to Level 14, she has a working settlement beacon to bring in more settlers, she has a brahmin, and she has Idiot Savant 2 (for occasional 5X Bonus XP), Local Leader 2 (to allow her to build shops), Mr. Sandman 1 (to allow her to kill people in their sleep), and Cannibal 1 (which allows her to eat people to completely fill her hunger, although it gives her Dark Cravings so she can ONLY eat people).
. . .Yes, what Jon has set up is basically one of those horror movie towns where the dark secret is that all those delicious pies are made of human flesh. XD Though Captain Bad Ideas doesn’t even bother to cook them – she just knifes “spare” settlers in their sleep, drags them over to the river for a quick wash, and then chows down straight from the cooling corpse. This all so she can rob all incoming settlers of their bottlecaps so she’ll have enough money to FUND a store and thus have a full working economy. I left it at Jon considering making Raider Traps (baited with Jet, of course) to get more people to kill, and thus more corpses she can chomp on faster. This game and this guy, I swear XD
2. Edit some more on “Londerland Bloodlines”: Check! Alice has not quite left the thin-bloods just yet – she has one more bit of business on the beach, and it involves sneaking onto the pier to get a look at a dead body! Good thing she’s already discovered a talent for Obfuscate. . .though she’s not sure what to make of the wolf she just found watching her from the rocks. Rather curious place for such an animal to be, wouldn’t you agree? :p
3. Keep up with YouTube Subscriptions: Check -- two in, two out, even with the storms --
A) Actually started off with a quick video from the Sims 4: Dream Home Decorator livestream, showing off some in-game TV shows that will be coming with the new pack – it’s basically Sims HGTV. XD One show was focused around house repair and renovation (featuring a trio of lovely lady carpenters and designers repairing a house wrecked by meteors); the other was a guy who managed to convince a family to let him make over their place, and turned it into the wackiest build anyone could possibly imagine. XD Fun stuff!
B) Then it was onto Call Me Kevin and Resident Evil Village – destroyed by mods! :D Yes, the horror game of the year (we hope, anyway) has mods already, and Kevin was keen to try them out! Like a mod that switches the heads of Chris Redfield – and baby Rose! XD Trust me, it’s more disturbing than you think. Or changing Ethan’s model out for Tall Vampire Lady D’s – this one conflicted with another mod and led to a headless Lady Ethan running around, which – honestly, given that we’re never allowed to see Ethan’s face anyway. . . For weapons we had spoons, ray guns, bananas, and fly swatters (the latter actually quite effective against the vampire who becomes a swarm of bugs), but the real piece de resistance of the whole mess?
LADY THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE. Complete with Thomas as her entire head, with a veil over the caboose AND THE SCARIEST THOMAS FACE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Seriously, damn thing will give you genuine nightmares. You’ll have to immerse yourself in Spongebob art to recover. Fortunately there’s a mod for that too. XD Seriously, RE8 is apparently amusing on its own, but this – this is next level bullshit. XD
C) SPEAKING of next-level bullshit – GrayStillPlays is modding Minecraft again! Today’s offering? Making normally inedible shit edible. By which I mean eating stuff like wood to grow instant trees, cobblestone to mine just by jumping (straight down to the BEDROCK – and possibly THROUGH it), iron to give himself TEN MILLION HEARTS OF HEALTH, coal to become a demonic fire god, and hay to spawn tons of animals. Oh, and TNT to blow up all the things. XD As you might imagine, he spread chaos, burning, and pain wherever he went, from the Nether to the suspiciously convenient village to The End. Defeated the Ender Dragon by TNT-jumping on her while pumped up on iron ore. XD Oh Gray. . .I am so glad you can’t pull this shit in real life. XD
4. Get my tumblr queues sorted: I reset my queue to one post per day? Honestly, though, probably for the best that’s a bit N/A – I was hoping to get maybe an idea for Song Saturday, but the thunderstorm coupled with general distractedness beforehand kind of put paid to THAT. On the plus side, though, I already answered my DW comment, sooo. . .
So yeah, that's good, means I can just wrap all this up now. Hopefully this is the last of the lightning and the pouring rain tonight. . .want to have my windows open for a little cool air! Woof. . .night all!
