What I’ve Been Playing Recently

I came up with a good "post series" name the other day but like a dumb-ass, I didn't write it down anywhere so I've forgotten it. Let this be a lesson to the younger folks out there, you can't rely on your memory forever, it eventually becomes filled with nonsense like the names of Mario Brothers monsters from 40 years ago. I use all sorts of reminder notifications and note taking methods in my daily life, but that sort of topic is much more apt for Blogging Intensifies Lameazoid than here. Here, I want to just talk about video games,…

What I’ve Been Playing Recently

It's been a bit, so it's been a bit busy I suppose. I'm going to mostly push off my current "regular games" a bit with Fortnite and Sky. just for some discussion about what else I've been playing. Death Stranding Funny enough, this isn't the only game I'm playing at the moment with "dangerous rain". Sky has a zone of rain that harms you when you're standing in it. Though, they call it "Time Fall" in Death Stranding, and it's a Hideo Kojima game, so it's full of weird unexplained shit that may or may not eventually be explained. The…

What I’ve Been Playing Recently

I wonder if those titles should be more distinct or if it even matters. Anyway, I "completed" one game this week. Actually I sort of "beat" two games, but I forget how I have counted the Fortnite Battle Passes. Let's call it one for now. The Fortnite BP technically goes to Level 200. F.I.S.T: Forged In Shadow Torch Man, that acronym. Someone really wanted it to stand for FIST. This was one of the free games from Epic over the Holidays that they push every year. It looked interesting from the animal characters and Steampunkish design then I noticed it's…

What I’ve Been Playing Recently

# What I've Been Playing Recently I like the idea of this sort of regular, generic post, but I don't really want to give it a schedule, so I'm just going to throw em out whenever, for now, I think.  Considering this si the "first" one, it's also not clear what "Recently" should mean in this context.  It's my post, my blog, my rules, so I'm thinking, whatever I want to mention really. Fortnite Roughly a year ago, I decided I wanted to give Fortnite a go.  It's been popular for years, and i was looking for something relatively mindless…

On Getting COVID

Technically, I am writing this after the fact, but it needs done. COVID sucks. Omicron seems to not really care about vaccines or masks at all, and while its less lethal, it still is rough. I don't know where I got it, most likely while in Chicago, and most likely at the concert. Unlike the CHVRCHES show, there was no mask or Vax requirements. I had worn a mask anyway while inside. I doubt it was the Zoo, that was barely busy due to the weather and mostly outdoors. Where does not super matter. I definitely "got it" first, or…

New Desktop PC

My new desktop I mentioned at the end of my last post arrived. I am fairly good about adjusting my workflow when changes or upgrades happen, but this particular change in it's nature, is incredibly disruptive. My whole process kind of stems out from a source, which for the most part, is either my laptop or my desktop. If I were to get a new laptop, not much would change. Most of that workflow runs off of shared drives or cloud files. On the base level, the desktop works the same way, the real trick I get to deal with…

Endlessly Learning

One thing I have always done in my life is worked to constantly be learning something. It may not actually be a useful something, but it's something. Back when I was finishing up my degree in 2003, I was telling people that I wanted to get the RA job in the dorms so I could just live there for the rest of my life taking classes. Granted, the RA position only meant your room was covered, I don't think it covered any of the course work expense. Fortunately, we live in a world of connected possibilities, or whatever buzz word…
