Got caught up on today. Episodes 4 and 5 are where we're really getting to the meat of things. Fun stuff.

Also watched the first episode of on . Forever amazed by Vic Michaelis.

Started watching . Very fun and different campaign from the Fantasy High stuff. Reminds me a lot of The Outer Worlds.

@Bam I've been pretty pleased with the show so far. I'm really hoping they manage to do the part that really made me love the book so much.

@TarValonNet Hell yeah. My rule of thumb, "when in doubt pick the Aes Sedai with an S name" has served me well once again.

Tell me again that LED bulbs would last 25 years. Make my day!

Generally no better life than incandescent or halogen in this open ceiling light fixture being used for about 3 hours in the morning and 5 hours at night.

@JohnJBurnsIII Is the 11/22/23 on the housing the date that it was installed? If so, wow that's surprisingly bad. I honestly can't remember the last time I replaced a bulb due to failure.

Watched the third episode of #DarkMatter last night. Cliffhanger ending right at the big moment. Looking forward to next episode where the proper reveal is.

The big reveal for one of the games I've been working on for a little while is happening in about 40 minutes. Excited to see it and what the reaction is going to be. (Yeah, I haven't seen the trailer internally myself yet.) You can find that happening over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vovkzbtYBC8

@jay Very cool, I don't know if I've even heard of this entry in the series.

I'm not working today. However, I did receive an email from our Chief Nursing Officer this morning.

It's an invite for a free coffee from a coffee truck that's established in the parking lot of the ER.

"Get a free coffee on us in celebration of Hospital Week and Nurses Week (last week)."

Seriously.

I. CAN'T. EVEN.

If you wash and dry a load of laundry, you also have to be prepared to fold it, and put it away. It's not really helping otherwise.

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@RickiTarr Yes, folding and putting it away are just steps in the "doing laundry" task. If you skip out on those, you can't claim to have done the laundry.

I broke my #1 software rule... Wait a week to upgrade to see about bugs and user satisfaction.

Full of bugs and useless #eshittification

Luckily I did a full backup and can start over from scratch and restore.

I'm like 10 hours into the first Dimension 20: Junior High campaign on Dropout.tv and loving it. I have not historically had a great time watching DnD campaigns - I don't even play. But this one has just the right mix of humor, a great DM, and familiar setting.

Also Dropout's service somehow seems to be more reliable than streaming services I've used from major broadcasters. I've yet to have a single crash or messed up stream plus it supports video downloads and background audio on the mobile app.

I recently started watching more #DropoutTV as I discovered they had some full episodes of the game show Game Changer. Been enjoying it enough that I went ahead and subscribed. Really great and funny people.

Went off to a car boot sale today. Sadly beaten to the games by resellers buying anything they could see, but I DID find this little chap in mug form.

@PixelBandits For the uninitiated, what is a car boot sale?

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@PixelBandits interesting. Like a pop-up community yard sale sort of

After only 57 1/2 hours of play time, I have beaten Horizon Forbidden West's main story.

I did do quite a bit of the side quests as well, but not all of them.

I've now unlocked the Burning Shores DLC which I'll jump into at some point soon.

Super fun game, just like the first one was. Glad to have completed it on PC.

@cliffwade If someone didn't enjoy the combat from the first game at all, should they even consider the second game?

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@cliffwade Honestly it was hard to put into words. I played it for about 15 hours and combat was becoming so incredibly unbalanced, it felt like everything I was fighting was way out-classing me. I never liked melee combat in the game at all so kept leaning on ranged combat, but then would have to constantly stop mid-fight to craft more ammo. It just became completely un-fun to me.

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@cliffwade Cool. That was my assumption, but thought I'd check. Might lookup a good story explainer because I thought the story was shaping up to be interesting.

Have I just been playing this game too much? Because I did one of the first boss fights this morning and I had basically just to sneeze at him and he died. I remember having to reload 3-4 times at least.

hybridhavoc,
@hybridhavoc@darkfriend.social avatar

@WhyNotZoidberg I didn't have much difficulty with him either, or much of anything so far. I chalk it up to playing on PC this time around, versus Xbox the first time I played it. Mouse and keyboard makes combat significantly easier IMO.
