Still uncovering the main plot in HZD. The more I discover, the more incredibly insane it is. Had to destroy another Deathbringer tonight, this time with working legs. Felt like I was fighting a Metal Gear, but in a Tomb Raider game. You can tell this game is very Playstation.
Small Video Editing Update
Went over the last of the Skyrim 2019 footage, and have decided it will be a small montage of its own. It won’t need much for animation, other than just one small thing involving a greenscreen, might even have it finished tomorrow. If I do finish it I’ll probably just can it for later, after featuring the other video I finished.
Fun times…
Fun & Productivity
Hey! Look! Another post that doesn’t include any HZD in it! Felt like doing some Innocent Dragon stuff tonight. Next time I play I have to defeat Gulp, too tired to finish the boss battle tonight, but I did collect a lot of treasure and even got 100% in a world.
Before embarking on Dragon adventures though I did make a small dent in the next animation project, this one is going to be looking a little more ambitious once I get closer to the end. Until then, these scenes by the couch are pretty easy. I’m planning to release Part 1 later into June, depending on how soon I can wrap up Part 2. I’m thinking for tomorrow I’ll look at the 2019 Skyrim footage and see how I should cobble it together, what to animate in it, etc.
Sunday & Chill
It was the usual type of Sunday, but with the sun! Slept with an orange cat, read the interwebz awhile before getting up and making an amazing egg breakfast with cream sauce. Cleaned some old stuff of mine out of the fridge that went past its prime. That way next weekend I can bring some food home and not worry about bringing home anything I already have. Other than that it’s been a day of sipping tea, catching up on some reading and YouTube, and finally a return to Baldur’s Gate 3. The only thing that would have made the day more perfect would be if it were sunny with slightly less wind, it’s been blowing more than the Jaundace Jackass’s Servants.
I also went through more of my wardrobe and pitched a few things that are beyond repair, simultaneously making room for all the new clothing I received for my birthday last month. I also have a large bag that I still need to donate, need to find a place to donate them first – I have a good ton of clothes that are either barely or never worn/too small, and it would feel shameful to just throw them away. I’ve already found a few things to give to some friends at work, they get new-ish shiny stuff, and I get room for more new junk… fair trade I’d say.
Late Night Saturday Open Thread
Spent the evening working through the last of 2019’s Skyrim footage. There are a few goodies, but I’m not sure how to assemble them just yet. That will have to wait for another session; now that it’s the weekend I have other plans that may or may not involve Horizon Zero Dawn. :v Would have played a bit tonight but, meh… too tired.
Open Thread!
Good Huntin’
The hunt is still going well! Mostly spent tonight looking for metal flowers and ancient vessels. Also hunted machines and animals, found a couple of vantage points/audio logs. Fun game is fun. 🙂
The Footage Sifting Continues
Been going through the rest of my Skyrim footage over the last couple of days. I only have about ten more livestream videos to go through and I’ll finally be done with it. Hard to believe that footage used to span almost three hard drives, but I’m nearing the end of the Oldrim stuff. Maybe someday I’ll return for some 4K adventures, but for now I have plenty of other games and footage to go through. Each livestream is about an hour or two of footage to go through, and surprisingly there are a few little gems hidden within.
Of course, it’ll be awhile before any of it sees the light of day… sooooo many irons in the fire.
More Answers Than Questions
The more I play of this, the more questions I find needing an answer. Last night I uncovered a good chunk of why the world has been thrown back to tribalism, and as I expected it goes all the way back to corporations fucking things over. FARO in this universe is basically Tesla if Elon went too fucking far. They manufactured “Peace keeping machines” that were used for war, and were able too replicate themselves using organic organisms. The amount of lawsuits and problems I’ve found strewn throughout the data logs pokes fun at how a big corp fucked things up for the whole world.
Then I’m also left wondering… who is this woman who looks like Aloy? Is she a mother? Or is she an ancestor from what they refer to as “The Old World”? The holograms and data are from centuries ago in this universe, and it makes it all the more interesting. Each time I come back to this game I gain about ten questions for every one or two answers I find. It’s almost like having my own interactive soap opera to play!
Next time I play I’m poised to solve another cauldron. I came close to doing it tonight, but I reached the final chamber right as it was time to call it quits.
To be continued, I guess. 😛
Another Weekend Comes To A Close
Don’t have much to say. It was a nice, sunny day. You could smell the freshly cut grass wafting in the breeze. As usual I enjoyed a good mandatory tasty weekend breakfast, fiddled with a couple of games and finally canned a video! I’ll probably work on the thumbnail after work tomorrow, and tonight I’ll sleep on what I want the title to be… and dream of what the next weekend will bring.
