Decided to chill with some more Spyro Trilogy. I’ve learned how to swim underwater after paying a bear an extortion fee! I helped tame a manta-ray and rescued some seahorses. I just wanted to chill tonight, been feeling a little jet lagged from pulling a graveyard.
To those who celebrate it: Happy Thanksgiving! I worked most of the day, came home and all the fixin’s were ready for me! I played a little DOOM Eternal to prep for tomorrow morning — I’ll be going in at 1 am to prep for the Blackest of Fridays.I’m actually in a good condition to collapse; full of turkey, it’s cold and gray outside, and I have a scented fucking candle going to calm me the fuck to sleep.
Speaking of…
The Steam Autumn Sale is currently in full swing at the time of writing this. I haven’t purchased anything yet, but I’m thinking about it… as is tradition. 😛 I’m giving myself until the weekend to get something, if not there’s always the upcoming Winter Sale.
I finished up my 2B Playthrough in NieR Automata tonight, next time I play it’ll be as 9S. I also wanted to play to vent a little, it was a day that went about as smoothly as sandpaper across the my backside. This is the time of year where games become my ultimate squeeze ball.
Open Thread!
Took a small break from my platinum shenanigans to play a wee bit of Spyro Trilogy before calling it a night. I finished one of the worlds, and now I’ve left off in a world where I have to help babysit turtles. It was a nice colourful getaway before making preparations to sacrifice myself to the darkness in exchange for work energy. I’m gonna need as much of it is I can this week…
I found a secret oil oasis while wandering around in the deserts of NieR Automata, and I found that even in android society you will find drug dealers.
I went through surviving the religious machine suicide mission, well… I only died once. :v Fortunately my body died on a conveyor belt, so I didn’t have to go too far to collect myself. That was pretty much my whole playthrough for the evening. I haven’t felt well for most of the day, so the rest of my time was pretty much spent napping and watching a friend of mine grow watermelons and a bee colony on his virtual boat.
Between a busy work week, poor sleep cycle and extra things to do I’ve been too busy to really enjoy anything. I’m thinking of just taking it easy tomorrow, maybe do a little Pre-Cyber Monday looky-loos on the digital storefronts. I may or may not work on some SFM projects, and if my voice can finally cooperate I’d like to record some voice lines! The lack of sleep has made me sound more hoarse lately. I’m hoping a day of rest brings it back from the dead.
Onto brighter news: I bought my first Bluetooth speaker today! I paid about $37 for a new $180 speaker! I figured at that price I could find purpose for it while looking around for a Bluetooth boombox or internet radio. I haven’t had a chance to test it out yet, but I’ve turned it on and paired it with my devices. I might have to start making some night time themed playlists, something to help me cash in at the bank of Zzzzz’s.
One of my work buddies recently introduced me to a podcast I had never heard of before, and given the subject matter I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it sooner. It’s called Welcome to Night Vale; A podcast that takes place in an imaginary desert town where things are not quite what they seem, for lack of a better term…
The podcast is basically just a half hour radio show from a fictional town called Night Vale. The host of the show talks about strange oddities and rituals going on throughout the local community as if they were day to day mundane routines. The first episode announces a local dog park, and warns listeners that dogs are not allowed in the dog park, and people are not allowed in the dog park. Later on a few episodes down you meet a giant sentient glow cloud that everyone is afraid of, and eventually it joins the PTA. I think I’m currently on Episode 7? I’ve been listening to the playlist while working on some digital projects. 😛
I was talking with someone at work today about getting along on holiday shopping, and he complained about how hard it is to find time to holiday shop. I know this guy well enough that he has all the tools and services to just do some searches, maybe a little research depending on how deep you want to go, and “click”, done… I would think literally having the internet at your fingertips would make something like making Christmas Shopping more, plausible? I mean if kids can spend their parents hard earned cash on in app phone purchases and Fortnite swag I would think at least one bathroom break could be used to get a special thing for a special someone, that came out wrong…
Of course I’m not perfect either… My problem is that I can order things on time, but can never seem to send things out on time… though a good part of that is trying to get over there sometime between getting off work and them closing. I would send packages during my lunch break, but the local old people like to use it as one of their social clubs, and I don’t want to spend a good part of my lunch break listening to random old people noises and waiting for them to finish so the line can move.
Ah well, first world problems n sheeet.
I’ve been trying to think of what to grab for Friday/Sat breakfast stuffs — tomorrow I’ll be through my weekend leftovers and I’m not in the mood for any breakfast bars or soups. It’s been awhile since I’ve made yogurt parfaits… I might have to make one out of spite. 😛
