Melon Simulator has been pushing updates at the end of each month. In March they added explosive barrels, which can be found on their own or embedded within enemy melons. In April they added a chainsaw to the game as one of the many weapons that can be found. I got some hand on experience with the chainsaw tonight, probably one of my fave weapons along with the sword… or using melon bits to take down my enemies. I won the battle tonight, which isn’t really saying much. The game goes until you get overwhelmed with melons, but I had to quit at around Wave 18 or so because of that real life sleep thing.
The Sunnier Side
The last couple of days feel like the climate in the Horizon series. We’ve had warm summer like weather, the kind of weather that makes you long for some cool crunch bowls and plenty of iced tea. Been spending the hot days studying week 1 and week 2 of the Cybersecurity Class I’ve been checking out, maybe a little video editing, and then finishing off with Horizon Forbidden West when the night finally cools our corner of the world.
Now the night ends, at least for me. The day comes for me a bit earlier than usual this week.
Another BL3 DLC Nearly Completed!
We finished up the main storyline of Guns, Love and Tentacles DLC in Borderlands 3 last night. I’d say it was a well written one that fits well into the craziness that is the Borderlands Universe. You get to attend the wedding of Sir Hammerlock! It was fun getting to marry him to his new husband, as well as all the eldritch horror we got to experience along the way. We just have one more side-quest to complete and we’ll be able to move onto the main game.
Cloud Home Sweet Cloud Home
We invited a friend to check out Resonite, and spawn some fun toys in my cloud home!
Something Something All Work No Play
The last couple of days have been pretty busy for me. Leaving no time to enjoy a little gaming, not even on my Steam Deck! I’m thinking I might plop down on the couch tonight and play something cinematic… maybe some Horizon Forbidden West. I haven’t touched it in a couple weeks, and it would be fun to uncover more story.
Upcoming Hobby: Free Harvard Courses!
I heard that Harvard is offering free online courses in things like cyber security, SQL databases, and a whole nine pages worth of courses to check out. I only had time to sign up tonight before being interrupted by other real life stuff. I’m definitely checking it out tomorrow! You can never be too old to learn something new, or become better versed in what you already know. 😀
Dream Studies… But Not Really
Last night I had an almost normal-ish dream. I was reading a study about 11 hours of sleep being better than the typical 8 hours, as it promotes better mental health… and then I woke up after 8 hours of sleep, naturally yet feeling jet lagged. It made me wish there was more time in a day, just to make sure you get the best sleep, more work done, more play time, etc…
Evening Open Thread
Another evening where I don’t have much to say… so here’s some cursed AI slop I found wandering YouTube.
Open Thread.
Meanwhile, In Palworld…
This released a couple weeks ago, but I somehow managed to forget to post it. So… here it is!
Noot Noot!
I was telling a friend of mine about checking out “The Greatest Penguin Heist Of All Time” sometime. Next thing I knew they went and bought it! The two big selling points were Linux Accessibility, and playing as penguins that make “Noot Noot” noises. So far we’ve stolen a boat, infiltrated an island getaway, played some billards and recovered a hostage,.. even though I accidentally knocked them out.
It was fun! I’m sure we’ll get our money’s worth out of this one.
