May The Chi Be With Me

Today was a perfect day. The sun was shining, breakfast was a smoothie, a private spa day was had. It was so perfect in fact that I decided to play a game from the PS2 era that was cursed with jank.

The last time I played Legend of Kay it was almost two years ago. I found an irritating puzzle and jumping mechanic that made me lose interest in it. After tackling it tonight I did make a small bit of progress.

 

I had a hell of a time trying to traverse rotating platforms, and if you’re unfortunate enough to fall you have to start from the beginning of the level. It can be pretty irritating, especially when the constant turning triggers motion sickness you keep forgetting ever existed. But I didn’t give up, and made it to the next chapter in the game.

I might continue this on the big TV before calling it a night to get the full console experience. If the game doesn’t relax me the accompanying tea and ramen will.

Palworld Mod Science

Tonight turned into a debug session in Palworld. I had a mod installed that replaced the expedition gate with a Japanese Torii gate instead, but something about the mod caused me to crash. After some serious brainstorming we finally narrowed down the offending mod, and I spent the rest of the evening going Mary Poppins on the local digital wildlife. At least now I’ll have a fun Palworld Weekend!

Palworld Is Cooking With Gas

They’ve really added more life to certain areas of Palworld in the latest update! We stopped by the Small Settlement. They added a farm, and more pals and NPC’s with quests. They’ve also made the dungeons less copy and paste, and have given them more variety. The dungeon in the Small Settlement is a cave full of gold, and then we visited a random dungeon that housed a couple merchants, and if you’re being naughty… lots of PDIF officers.

Doing All Of The Things

I’ve slowed down on making video content. I’ll probably be taking a break soon to catch back up again, but I’m happy that I’ve gone several months though with releases! I’m thinking that I’ll have plenty to do that will keep me away from video production. I’m renovating my closet, and I’ve been doing free studies at Harvard in my spare time, plus I’ve been picking up more at work and always keeping an ear open for alternatives.

I will still work on videos, but releases won’t be as frequent.

Feels Like The First Time (Palworld Update)

The new Palworld update dropped the other day, but I didn’t have time to check it out on release day. Fortunately it’s my weekend! I spent a better part of the evening going over which mods to install and which ones to remove/disable for the best experience. So far we’ve found a new island, new pals, and a new fishing mechanic they introduced to the game! Just craft some bait, and capture pals that once used to hover over the waters.

For best results we’re starting from scratch. Fortunately for us there are mods that pretty much get us back to where we were stat-wise. We still have pals to collect and plenty to explore again, but the new content at least gives us an excuse to begin anew.

The Weekend Plottening (Open Thread)

It was hot today, but I managed to find time to sift through some video footage. Unfortunately it wasn’t anything I found worth exporting, but that just means I freed a couple hundred gigs for something else. Also mentally preparing what I want to get for the weekend. The summer weather is looking to be visiting us for a few days, so I’m thinking this weekend I’ll have a chill breakfast that may or may not involve yogurt and fruit. At the very least it’ll be something that isn’t basic bitch cereal.
