I give you this nightmare fuel before departing to the sleep dimension:
Today’s Blog Post is brought to you by news from America’s penis
Ever hear the saying “You are what you eat?” Well… I guess that can be kinda true?
Police say they responded to a parking lot on South Dixie Highway and found three people sitting in a car. The people in the car consented to a search and police say they found drug paraphernalia and a substance that field tested positive for crystal meth.
Crystal Methvin and Douglas Nickerson were arrested on drug possession charges
Crystal Methvin, fucking hell that is fabulously horrible. I don’t know what to add to this, it just writes itself. :trollface:
Birthday Reprise
I had some birthday presents arrive in the mail recently, one of them being some really nice Oolong. Alas all of my containers are full of… tea; because I have problems. To keep anyone from throwing away a perfectly good cardboard box I took a moment to get the point across:
It has a really earthy aroma, in some ways it reminds me of licorice. I haven’t tasted it yet, but will have it iced tomorrow for work. At some point when the stars align I’l use it in the Gaiwan set, also a birthday present!
Revisiting the old Tomb Raiders.
I’ve been toying with the idea of recording some classic Tomb Raider sessions (2 through 5), and the possibility of streaming them on Twitch and YouTube. I do seem to have issues with the classic versions and OBS, since they use an earlier version of Direct3D (pre directX 9) I have no choice but to record the entire desktop. I’ve experimented a bit with recording all of the desktop and it doesn’t seem to take much power. There is still streaming it to my laptop and then streaming it publicly from there as a possible solution.
Another problem I notice is that on a vanilla setup on any of those games is being unable to run them on any resolution above 1080p. The game setups give me the option to run at 1440p but they fail every time they launch. I would think someone by now would have come up with a workaround, but it’ll take more research. I’ve already installed the multipatch, though that doesn’t seem to solve the problem. I don’t mind playing at a lower resolution, but if there is an option out there that would allow me to play in my native resolution I’d happily welcome it. :happy:
When life gives you melons
You cut them up and realize you need fresher melons. I think I’ve done enough MGR for now.; I beat the game on Normal with a surprise, wigs… Fucking wigs, and all they do is slightly change the color of your hair and give you a bonus depending on which one. I think next time I’ll give the game a go on hard. Each time I play I understand parrying a little bit more.
Meanwhile in MGSV I’ve been having a great time sneaking around and trolling Soviets… the games I played today feel too much like current tines. :zorak:
Memorial Weekend Arrives
Managed to survive the holiday rush today, fortunately I have the next two days off and won’t have to endure the suffering. It actually wasn’t too bad in our area, people were more interested in clothing and food instead of electronics so I managed to get all of my work completed. If anything there were points where it felt like time was dragging on, of course ever since I’ve upgraded my computer it feels like life itself lags. :trollface:
Meanwhile, on Steam…
Logged into Steam today, and what did I see? A Spring Cleaning event. :morty: I’ve already got a level 2 badge, and all I had to do was open certain games. I also got a bunch of items ranging from Steam Emoticons and a wallpaper to a secret mystery item which they say MIGHT come in handy during a future sale… interesting.
It was day
Today’s routine was as follows:
- Woke up
- Got out of bed
- Dragged a comb across my head
- Go to work
- Return from work
- Eat pizza
- Take accidental nap
- Winner Winner Of Some Chicken Dinner
- OMG Metal Gear
- Bed… eventually
Nothing exciting, and sometimes that’s a good thing. I think tomorrow I’ll do something not Metal Gear related, in fact I’ve installed Half Life 2 and the episodes onto my laptop, thinking of playing it at lunch tomorrow. I’ve always liked that game, shame it left off on a cliff hanger. Perhaps if I’m ever up for it I’ll pull out my copy of the HL2 Leak and play with that again, though every time I’ve played with it it seems like it has missing data. My copy looks like crap compared to other screenshots I’ve seen. :rick:
I still remember the first time I played it though… My computer sucked at recording back in the day. That was when I was still on a Pentium 4 that not only choked FRAPS, but also forced me to play games in a much much smaller screen in order to get a somewhat decent framerate for the time.
Things have definitely improved since then.
