Today in gamer fashion: Microsoft has crafted a Minesweeper themed ugly sweater. It looks nice (and the money even goes to charity!), but… it’s a Microsoft sweater! Their memory leaks make me question how many holes would be in the sweater. :v
Holiday Hustlin’
I’m getting close to finishing my holiday shopping; just waiting on a few choice items in the mail, and keeping an eye open for intriguing local treasures. Also got quite a bit of animation done tonight! I imagine I’ll have the first part rendered later in the week, then I can start on part 2 of 3….? Either way, in the meantime enjoy some strange illustrations.
I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own!
I don’t have anything big planned, but later on in December I have a small video rolling out! After that I’m not sure when I’ll have another video out, but on the bright side I’ve been having a laugh while working on things:
This year’s holiday video might not be much, but next year’s set will at least be on par with my more crazier videos.
YoRHa Party of Five
My new fave thing to do as 9S is to sneak up behind unsuspecting machines, and then I’ll hack them to fight for me. I made my own little group of androids and stormed the machine kingdom once more. I’m now officially at a point in the game I’ve never been! I think that’s a perfect time to shelve the game, until I open it again. Another weekend comes to a close, and another work week begins anew, and another opportunity to cross more things off my to-do list… such as posting about something that doesn’t have to do with albino androids and android looking machines! 😛
NieR Automata and The Meaning Of Life
Continued my NieR Automata run as 9S this evening – managed to close some shared quests I missed as 2B, and even found some new ones as 9S.
Playing as 9S is a little different. 2B is entirely combat while 9S is some combat and “hacking”. I found a couple machines standing in strange places, all questioning deep things like the meaning of life, or their own existence. I have to admire how uniquely deep this game can be.
Weekend Open Thread
I’ve been spending the better part of the evening trying to diagnose a problem friends’ gaming computer. As it turns out, the memory controller is borked on the motherboard, and I’m going to recommend to them that if they’re going to change motherboards that they might as well upgrade the processor too. As it is the hardware dates all the way back to 2014. I’ll have to go over the details with them tomorrow, and come up with a potential upgrade plan.
Under The Sea
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.
THANKSGIBBING
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 Third Season Of Gaben Is Underway
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.
Evening Open Thread
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.
