The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Every Evening Is Another Learning Experience

I may be playing a lot of Resonite, but I’ve at least been learning about model porting and Blender along my travels. Tonight I successfully ported over the lotus I wear in the YouTube vids, and thanks to the help of Yutram and Bong they helped me retexture it. There will be plenty more opportunities for me to burn more knowledge into my brain as I bring over more accessories and models. We’re thinking of having another weekend movie night in one of the cinema worlds tomorrow, now we just need to decide on what to watch…

Dude… The Colors

One moment a friend wanted to know if I wanted to pal around with them in their TARDIS in Resonite, and the next I got to meet a friendo of theirs, and from there we did some world hopping. Since playing Resonite I’ve already accumulated a couple hundred gigs of footage, will have to go through it at some point!

Mysteries of the VR World

Tonight in Resonite: We accidentally stumbled upon a world with puzzles to solve. We got through quite a few of them before deciding to call it a night. Other than that I’ve been continuing to learn how things work. My nameplate now has a custom font, and I’m learning how to attach models to other models so that I can recreate the nightmare fuel from my SFM sessions.

Zoos and Gardening and Cinemas Oh My!

Today in Resonite we paid a visit to a cursed looking zoo map. It had a mix of moving animals, non moving animals, a couple talismans that turned you into animals… and an exhibit for feral lawn chairs. It had quite a bit going on in it.

Then we decided to take up some gardening! We grew tulips, carrots, wheat, and most importantly of all… watermelons. It was a nice relaxing map, the three of us had a good time. Then after we completed all of our farming for the day we went cinema hopping.

We still have a few more cinema maps to explore, but I think we’re on the right track. We watched a couple small videos before calling it a night. I wasn’t even planning on hopping into Resonite today, but when a friend mentioned they were wanting to do some science there it was hard for me to say no.

Resonite is basically a more modern hybrid of VR Chat and Garry’s Mod. I doubt it will fully replace GMod for me, but it does offer unlimited possibilities. So far we’ve been to a zoo, became farmers, went diving for records, visited the cinema and there’s SO MUCH MORE to explore! I’m looking forward to my next excursion! 😀

For The Records

We didn’t mean to spend the entire weekend in Resonite… but here we be! Started off by showing a friend the world where we found the VHS tapes and player, then watched them take it apart to understand how its coded, then we ended the evening by visiting a record store, with working records! I saved some to my inventory to play in my digital home. Found some oldies, new stuff, game soundtracks, and all kinds of other crazy stuff. I’m liking the amount of variety this game offers.

Collisions and a Movie

I’m finding almost anything is possible in Resonite. At one point we took a train down to Black Mesa, then a friend of a friend showed up and sent us on adventures in their TARDIS, then we traveled from world to world and accidentally had a movie night together. We watched The Blob, and found a whole bunch of other movies for next time!

One thing I’ve noticed traveling between different worlds in Resonite is a severe lack of collisions for world objects and fixtures. There was a hotel we visited earlier that had NO COLLISIONS WHATSOEVER. You could walk through walls, fireplaces, desks… why? The only thing fun about it was listening to one of my friends rage about it.

More World Exploration! (Resonite)

We had a small Resonite get together earlier this evening. We explored a few cool worlds, worlds that I would probably enjoy even more in VR. I wish I lived in an area where VR Headsets could be demoed in person. I don’t want to invest hundreds of dollars into a VR Headset if it’s just going to nauseate me. We found a few cool party worlds, a relaxing spa/bath world, a desert oasis and more! I felt like a kid in a candy story as we took turns choosing what worlds looked the most interesting or the most cursed. We all had a good time. 🙂

The Revolution Is Over… At Aperture

One of the main reasons I always preferred PC Gaming to console is the modabillity of games, when applicable. An XBox or Playstation version of Portal 2 doesn’t go nearly as far or as hard as the PC Version, where the modding never really stopped. We get to enjoy mods like Portal Reloaded, Thinking with Time Machine, and Portal Revolution! I managed to finish it tonight, it was a wild ride and it did an incredible job replicating the humor of the original base games. I’ll need to go back and grab the achievements I missed after giving myself a break from it, but overall I had a wonderful time playing!

Stay tuned next for a completely different game… probably.
