Sunday Open Thread: Doing Something While Doing Nothing

I’ve been feeling pretty under weather in and out throughout the day. I woke up feeling fine, had breakfast, and started doing the dishes when I started feeling queasy. I’ve been taking some stuff for it, but I’ve pretty much been relaxing a little more than what I wanted to… oh well. I sometimes think that’s my body’s way of telling me to sit the fuck down and relax for a minute.

I pretty much kicked back and played under Linux up until the evening to crack open Windoze to play Serious Sam 4, where surprisingly Yutram and I had a good time! I tried to get it to work under Linux, and for the most part it does!… but the textures flash in and out like crazy. I’ll have to double check to make sure but I’m pretty sure I’m running the latest Open Source drivers. I also played a little Quantum Break under Linux, and while that does work the game will crash when it tries to play a live action video, and since minor interactions can change how these scenes play it I’m going to have to exclusively play this under Windows unfortunately. Tried to get a couple Sonic games to work; All Stars Racing Transformed runs but I can’t configure the graphics, and Generations runs, but sound is completely broken and controller input is non existent. I did play a bit of Trine, as that does have a native client, only to find that the Linux version only goes up to 1080p while the Windows launcher allows me to use 1440p and also detects my proper refresh rate, whereas the Linux build does not. I’m thinking next time I fiddle with it I’ll see about configuring the text file for the Linux client to see if that makes any difference. I’d rather not run it under Proton unless I absolutely feel the need to.

I’ll see about being a little more productive tomorrow.:P

Playing Spyro To Keep Warm

I had a nice quiet evening to myself, a bit of a cold bite in the air, and managed to have a little fun with some Proton Powered Spyro to help heat up the room. Now if I could just figure out how to get a mod manager to work properly under Proton or Wine it would be perfect. I even managed to get a couple achievements/trophies at the same time! One funny thing that did happen was finding a sleeping sky bat; usually they hang from the ceiling in the ice cave.

Preemptive Weekend Brainstorming

Tomorrow is my Friday, and I pretty much have my weekend spread planned out. Got a new tool to install for future livestreams, also have some things to take care of around the house, emails to write, a little shopping to do, and of course take a break and pick a game to play (gotta have my decompression time). I’m not sure what that will be… I haven’t played anything since DOOM the other day. Might do some AMID EVIL under Manjaro tomorrow. That has been handling under Linux almost as if it were native, would be nice if they made a native client like they did for DUSK.

Anyone have a game lined up for the weekend? Or maybe you’ve played a game recently? I’d like to hear it plz.

Food/Drink

Brunch In A Bun

I had a short work day this morning, got home and created this beautiful monstrosity; a roast beef breakfast sandwich with a sunny side up egg, bacon, smoked bleu cheese and caramelized onions in between some onion chewbacca bread. I’m even thinking of making another one tomorrow. I was happy with the results, given I didn’t even follow a recipe. It was just something that sounded good to sit down and enjoy before powering off onto other things on my to-do list.

Haven’t had a chance to post a good food post in awhile, usually due to my work schedule or just really shitty lighting when I go to actually make my breakfast. At least the planets aligned today so that I could take a snap of some premium slop.

Evening Open Thread

Not much to write about this evening. Long work day, had a lot to do after work, showered, ate, animated a little porn, and now I think I’m ready to pass out. I did play a little DOOM during lunch today. I’ve found if I play something gore-ish people tend to give me my own private space… unless they’re impressed by the graphics or something.

I wonder how the rest of the universe is doing…

SFM Animation Diary: Couch Of Extreme Comfort Edition

When Three Friends From Three Different Nations Unite Under One Digital Roof To Do Fuck All!

I’ve been accomplishing a lot of animation in a surprisingly short time span! I finished a scene today, and another yesterday. I’m looking back at my previous videos and trying to improve my animation, though I try to keep some jankiness to maintain a certain Gmod style I want to improve how fluid my animation is. It has worlds to go before it gets any better, but each time I work on one of these projects I seem to get a rhythm going. In the end the audience is the final judge, but there are still sections where I can tell I’m doing better. when compared to more recent works. I’ll have one more short scene to do tomorrow, and then I’ll have to record audio for the ending. The gameplay ends abruptly, which means that Yutram and I have to finish with something really stupid yet not completely regrettable. Perhaps we should talk about it over a pizza? :v

I Fell Into Deadfall Adventures Over The Weekend

Picked back up on Deadfall Adventures. If you like games with a mix of action, guns, and puzzles this game has a good mix. You play as James Lee Quatermain, an adventurer that can’t hold onto money to save his life. He helps another adventurer by the name of Jennifer Goodwin to retrieve the Heart Of Atlantis, which is actually scattered into different pieces (like a certain Scion of Atlantis 😛 ) and spread across different countries. This game has everything from adventure, to weapons, to puzzles and LOTS of Nazis to kill. If you ignore the bad voice acting and the occasional bug, it really has been fun to explore.

I’ve made it to the Arctic, and have just made it outside the wasteland. This is pretty much where my adventure ends for now, until I get to pick up this title again at least. I am happy that I made some progress on it though, despite certain bugs getting in the way. Next weekend I have other ideas for game time.

Sunday Evening Open Thread

I kinda tired myself out yesterday, work was an emotional and physical drain (moreso than usual), and I just wanted to enjoy some fun times in Serious Sam 4 with Yutram. Seemed like a good way to start the weekend. Today I relaxed indoors, enjoyed a couple games. I was in a puzzle mood, picked up again on Deadfall Adventures as well as a little bit of Melissa K And The Heart Of Gold, and then I took a TF2 Halloween break.

Silent Hill 4: The Room Appears On GOG

Konami seems to still be on a kick releasing older titles on GOG, like Silent Hill 4: The Room. I didn’t know there was a Silent Hill game on PC, but then again I wasn’t aware of the first two Metal Gear Solid games having a PC presence either until a few years ago. I heard this particular Silent Hill title is one of the Black Sheep in the series. Still, might have to consider checking it out if only for the lulz.
