The Blog Fashion Show Continueith

by
Original Artwork Can Be Found Here

Another evening spent playing with the site… I didn’t like the lack of widgets when looking at blog posts, and while I’m on the fence about this current template it does at least get a better load score than the previous one. I’m comfortable leaving it like this for now, and I can start looking at other themes and plugins at a more leisurely pace. So far the only thing I don’t like about this one is the lack of banner options. That can be saved for another night. I also did some database pruning, got rid of a bunch of entries from all the templates I’ve been checking out.

Now I can spend the remainder of my evening chilling out.

The First Coat Of E-Paint

by

If you can’t tell (or you’re reading this from your subscriptions) I’ve been giving the ol’ place a makeover. I haven’t decided if I’ll keep this appearance or not, but so far I’m digging it. If I do end up finding something better though I will be switching it out. Looks nice on all my devices! The current banner is a placeholder until I decide to change it to something else, or if I decide to delete it in place of a background image… decisions decisions.

Have 3D Worlds, Will Travel

by
We traveled to the 1960’s.

There has been a lot of Resonite this weekend! Releasing a Resonite video, making a new one, exploring more worlds for future potential Resonite videos, watching a future Resonite video IN Resonite, etc. We went to a few worlds perfect for groovin’, and a couple that were broken but just as entertaining. We’ve mapped out a few locations that would be great for listening to music together. One of them is a literal groove train, but in space! So far I seem to have a steady pace of creating and deleting footage for this game, as I need it. Currently sitting at a few hundred and a half gigs with plenty of room for more adventure!

Not Your Granparents’ Monopoly

by

For tonight’s Resonite adventures we decided to visit a Monopoly world. We actually got to play on a giant Monopoly board! Well, kinda. The world was pretty broken, but to its credit it is in the beta phase. That, and whatever coding the game had probably got slightly damaged when it was brought over from Neos VR. We still got to play, though more-so with the assets than the actual game.

Preparing For Another Round Of Site Renovations

by

Been playing around with blog configurations this evening, thinking it’s time for another update on appearances, and eventually a complete revamping under the hood. The latter will need more time to put together, might make a autumn/winter project out of it. In the meantime I’ve been looking at newer themes to run that fit what I’m doing. This one has been nice, but I might do better with something more modern, will continue my wordpress adventures with fresh eyes tomorrow.

Atop The Mountain Of Outland

by

Gave my Steam Deck some much needed love tonight after I got home. I haven’t been taking it to work much, and even when I have I haven’t really been playing it. I either don’t have time during lunch to play, or have been so interested in reading on my tablet that all gaming activities can just wait until I get home. It just felt nice plopping down on the bed and playing a bit of Outland. The last time I played was back at the start of the year, my how time flies…

I gained a couple new abilities, and even thwarted a boss battle. I only died a couple times, then continued to die multiple times more during my adventures. Tonight I finally unlocked the launchpad ability! I’m looking forward to visiting past areas to see what I’ve missed. Might find more hearts and orbs to make me stronger, who knows?

Remember To Drink Your Greens

With Autumn being on the horizon it felt somewhat appropriate for me to run out of my fave green cherry blossom tea today. I had the last brew of it this morning. Spent the rest of the day sipping away some green jasmine with grapefruit, perfect for the warm summer like day we were gifted.

Speaking of green tea, an interesting read popped up on my Mastodon feed this morning regarding the health benefits of green tea. It’s amazing for detox (which, as Overlord I already knew), it can help your heart, and possibly lower your blood pressure. It’s always been my go-to whenever I don’t feel the caffeinated need of black tea, and want just enough caffeine that I wouldn’t otherwise get from herbal or white teas.

Of course, if you don’t like tea this does fuck all to help you. But on the plus side it means there’s more tea for me to drink. 😛

Looming In Fog and Shadow

by

My weekend of zen is going great. Cuddled with an orange cat this morning, made a healthy Japanese style breakfast, sorted through some video footage and played a little bit of Aragami 2 while enjoying the last of my sakura green tea (it’s almost like there’s a theme going on, or something). I haven’t played since July, but it was easy to pick up where I left off, controls and all. Completed an assassination mission without any detection.

My latest success means that I’ve finally unlocked a forge! The visit alone gave me a couple achievements. I bought a few support items and crafted another mask, but instead of wearing it I went with the old tried and true, for old times.

While they have changed a whole bunch since the previous game I do admit I like the new features. They still have the Classic mode option, which I’ve yet to play. That will have to wait for a future session. I’m thinking of making this one of my October games to play – it would be perfect for spooky season.
