Need To Go Quick
Jun. 15th, 2021 11:31 pmAs I'm already behind and ought to be getting to bed sooner rather than later:
Work – Another kind of “eeeh” day – I spent most of the day either working on a quality-control file from one of our vendors, or dealing with more nonsense from the credit card system. *sigh* And then I accidentally sent something into the nether realm, so I have to get our main database’s people to help me fix it. . .hopefully that won’t be too bad! Yeesh. . .
Beanbags – Again, no – while the sun came back out this afternoon after a cloudy start, the ground’s still too wet, and it was also super buggy according to my mom. Humidity’s supposed to dry out tomorrow, so we’ll see then!
To-Do List –
1. Get in a workout: Check! Another thirty on the bike – I finished up watching PleasantSims going through her “Pleasantview 25 years later” Sims 4 save file (with the kids of all the Sims 2 Sims, plus a few of the originals, living in Willow Creek), and started on her “fixing the lore of Get Famous” save file – namely, giving Dustin Broke, Dirk Dreamer, and Holly Alto their families back from their respective games and making them actual families in the world. I’ve seen her takes on the Brokes and Dreamers from Sims 2 in this world – tomorrow I’ll see what she did with Holly, who I believe is originally from Sims 3. Fun stuff! (And yes, she has a file where she fixed the Pleasant twins from Discover University – I plan to watch that too.)
2. Work some more on the HypnoKink Notes Document: Check! Fleshed out the basic “how are their post-canon situations different from the Forgotten Vows Verse” bit of the doc (especially for Alice – her situation is less complicated than Victor’s, but no reason to neglect it!), and gave the magic system its own section. I also think I have a second minor ability for Victor – a variation on the spell in FVV that allows Bonejangles to manipulate shadows like he did while singing “Remains of the Day.” It’s the same ability for both of them (called something like “Performance”), allowing you to create images with music – Bonejangles has shadow-manipulation with singing, Victor I think will do light and colors with his piano playing. I’m still refining it. (Also still aware this is a lot of effort for something that is pretty much all hypno-porn, but I am INVESTED now.)
3. Keep up with YouTube Subscriptions: Half check – I was late starting the YouTubes thanks to a combination of getting into cleaning up “The Basics” section above and making my lunch for tomorrow late (the lunch meat was all frozen and I had to wait for it to thaw), and I didn’t have time for everything. I’m just not used to James uploading daily, I think is part of the problem. . .
A) Decided to catch up with the James Turner “Rags to Redecoration” episode I missed yesterday – there’s been a time-skip thanks to James playing the “3 Brothers” LP (that episode actually dropped today), meaning it's now springtime for Hazel! Fortunately, James was able to reclaim the bar renovation he wanted to do – Salty Paws Saloon in Brindleton Bay, which is apparently now owned by the Charm family in Glimmerbrook. *shrug* Okay then. . . Hazel passed the time until the renovation painting, doing lots of and lots of upgrades (including trading her stove for a separated stovetop – she’ll get the oven later!), and flirting a bit with Lord, who now regularly drops by for “game night.” Once actually at the renovation, though, James ran into a problem – namely, he actually liked how the bar looked already. Yeah, Salty Paws is actually an example of a halfway-decent EA build. But, the client wanted renovations (liked mischief and the color green), so Hazel got to work! One kitchen upgrade (THAT actually did need fixing – the new counters look MUCH better), some new tables and chairs, the addition of some TVs and computers, and some playing around with platforms later, and the owners were very pleased with their updated and upgraded bar! Hazel promptly swiped one of the new chairs and left. XD Ah, this is a fun LP. . .even if it does show off how buggy the damn pack is. Meh. Still, looking forward to seeing what the Brothers have been up to when I can catch up with THAT LP!
B) Then it was time for GrayStillPlays, with more Happy Wheels! And we had some killer boards today – quite literally. I mean, when the video STARTS with a deceptively hard basketball dunk at light speed. . . Then we had “booster heck” (a bunch of them layered on top of each other, meaning the guy on the bike just SMASHED into the wall at the end unless you found a way to temper his speed), Thomas the Tank Engine doing “Xtreme Stunts” (and crashing into a bunch of stands full of childr – CRASH TEST DUMMIES at the end), an invisible rope swing (with text to help guide you, but STILL), a bank heist with not only all the harpoons, but also a crossbow and homing mines (and a fake win down the bottom which Gray technically got twice thanks to his giblets), an incredibly difficult jet fall where trying to yeet Tom Hardy down first got you a platform covered in homing mines (Gray STILL found a way to do this – he just made sure to do it on the OTHER side of the gap), and a level just for Gray where you had to do a super-fast bottle run, do a loop-de-loop, then make it over a bunch of tridents, watermelons, and chairs while not being blown up by homing mines (it took Gray a LOT of tries, but he managed in the end). It was – it was definitely something. XD
4. Get my tumblr queues sorted: Check – got both posts with my builds up for tomorrow, along with some VtMB-themed CC to show on Thursday on VictorLuvsAlice, and three asks and one thread reply in the queue on Valice Multiverse.
And I've already answered my DW comment, so off to bed with me! Here's hoping for an okay Wednesday! Night all!
