Month: August 2024

  • Dream A Little Dreamwidth Me

    I know, I’ve been quiet again this month. I think I’m still adjusting to being in the house and having the ability to completely relax in my own home. I have some plans, some tentative and one much less so, for things to do here. (If you think the less-tentative plan involves a particular video game… well, you’re 100% right.)

    March 7 from Honkai Star Rail is unimpressed. I don’t really blame her.

    But in the meantime I’m also doing things over at… Dreamwidth. I mean, not directly because I’m crafting this post in the WordPress editor. But I’m resuming cross-posting to DW because… well, why not? I still have a few friends on DW and they’re not following the not-a-blog. And it’s not like I post so often that I’m going to overwhelm either site with “content.”

    So… let’s try this out (again) and see how it goes.

  • Not A Merry Old Soul

    Y’all, I’m a bit slow.

  • Cocoa For The Diabetic

    Lifestyle advice? On this website? Admittedly unlikely yet here we are.

  • Satisfactory: Two Years of Co-Op

    We started this as a regular (mostly) Tuesday night gaming meetup in late 2022. Time flies when you’re having fun and tearing up the landscape and turning critter guts into shop tickets and building huge quantities of many things!

    Last Tuesday evening, the kids and I completed our Satisfactory (Early Access version) co-op save game session. We sent up the Phase 4 space elevator shipment, which was the final thing-to-do that the game has available. (Other than sinking items for tickets to buy geegaws in the shop, that is.)

    Spud had the idea of making a time-lapse sequence out of the end-of-day saves loaded into Satisfactory Calculator, so… I did that:

    And now for a real break from the game. 1.0 releases in early September and by then I’ll probably be refreshed and ready for it.
