I caved and bought Conan Exiles. It's pretty fun so far! I built this derpy looking stone-and-wood shack in a gully next to some clan's large, imposing fortress. Picked the location since I'd already been using it as an escape route from the various beasties in the vicinity - just run over, climb up the short cliff out of the gully and hope your pursuers can't climb.   

I would certainly like to play with other people, though. I thought I encountered a couple of players early on, but in hindsight I'm pretty sure they were actually the hostile NPCs who spawn nearby, haha.

Wow, life really kinda sucks lately.   

...That's all I got. I slept into the PM today and am exhausted. I lack the energy to put all the different facets of the shittiness into words. Hell, I have at least two apps on my phone that are basically designed for venting, yet that seems like too much effort so I'm just making a generic whiny shitpost here instead.   
At least I've been exercising a decent amount in the past few days, surprisingly enough. Also I have beer, but I don't think even that can pep me up today.

There are spammers on Duolingo??? Hahahahahahaha.   
I started using it today and just received my first follower - with a display pic of a topless woman displaying a sheet of paper with the url of some dodgy website with "sexy" in the name scrawled across it. You know, the sort of thing one sees all the time on actual social media, just on an educational language-learning game instead. :))   


Also fuck, why does Spanish have to be so arbitrary with the genders of inanimate objects? And why did I pick a language that's probably gonna involved rolling "R"s at some point?

Wow, if I went around deleting accounts that I made for one thing and then no longer needed, there would be literally no accounts left on the internet, anywhere. Well, apart from Tumblr. Even in my comedic hyperbole I'm doing here I don't want to claim responsibility for that.

Holy carbs, there are a lot of things heavily discounted on my Steam wishlist, presumably due to their Halloween sale.   
Lots of 90% discounts, and I scrolled for a fair while without reaching the end of 75% territory. Wow.

I was filming some of the highlights of this insane summer storm we've been having here throughout the day, and I ran out the back to capture the intensity of hail slamming down on this little metal awning at the back of the house. Unfortunately, the neighbours were all standing in the doorway of the house next door, presumably watching the storm as well. Kinda killed my enjoyment of the whole ordeal. At least I was more-or-less dressed, I suppose, even if I was dressed as some kind of hobo from Hawaii.   
Seriously though, this storm has been pretty wild. That metal awning? The noise on the tin roof itself was wild enough, but when hailstones hit that thing it sounded like gunshots, or at least big firecrackers. The lightning earlier was crazy, too. I don't think I've ever seen such continuous lightning.

...one of my closest and oldest (oldest as in length of time being friends, not age - I have at least one comparatively ancient friend whom I love dearly) friends purchased a lifetime, premium Plex membership recently, which allows others to remotely stream things once he creates a user for them. He also set up a dedicated server to host his whopping great media collection from. Many a good time has been had, hanging out down there with the gang and watching weird and wonderful shit from said collection (when we couldn't get it on VHS, anyway).   

Yesterday he offered me an account for a small fee, which is fair enough considering the expenses involved in setting all this up.   
On the fence, I asked if he had Apocalypse Now. Sure enough, he does. Sold. Now I feel so high-tech and "with it". Although so far my enjoyment of this setup has been limited to going through looking things up to see if they're on there, feeling smug if they aren't or excited if they are. I'm easily amused, sometimes. Also neat were at least a couple of titles that I strongly recommended to my friend and wasn't sure if he'd listened to me about.   
Funnily enough, most of the things I thought off off the top of my head were on there, but as soon as I cracked open my IMDb watchlist, barely any were. There is some mighty obscure stuff that has accumulated on said watchlist over the years, most of which I don't remember adding. And of course, said list swelled considerably during the course of all this searching.   

Maybe today I'll actually fire it up and watch something. Eeeeee.
   
Oh yeah, and Come and See is on there, too. I didn't even look for it since I would have figured it was way too obscure, but there it was, the cover art staring at me with haunted eyes. Maybe I'll watch it and my eyes will look that way as well!

Consider attaching small weights to the precious bundle's developing eyebrows. With a bit of training it might even look like Bobby Pickett!

But that doesn't quite explain how when "certain things" jiggle, I start looking at the jiggleage and I start trying to simulate the entire system in my head instead of the "things" themselves. It ends up detracting from the "things" themselves.

Sure, but remember: it's not about meeting people, it's about watching them perish.

Electric Wizard - Son of Nothing.   


I'm listening to the whole Come My Fanatics album, as usual. It's a great album for basically every situation, but it's especially cathartic.

Not sure why you'd bother reading the comments on there, haha.   
That said, my problem with it is more the crappy layout of the site. It's even worse trying to browse on mobile.   
Not that WPD was perfect (for one thing, the very name of the sub is kinda spoilery - it should have been combined with WPAD and called 'Watch People Maybe Die' so you never knew what to expect), but at least Reddit is a convenient way to scroll through a bunch of content.

I've probably realised this and bemoaned it before only to forget, but /r/watchpeopledie no longer exists. Guess I don't deserve to be cheered up. :(   
A brief bit of googling doesn't reveal any new replacements for the sub, either. I suppose there's always Bestgore, but meh...

I have a new smartphone for the first time in months.   
I've downloaded a couple of old favourites and a few other odds and ends, most of which are shite. Seems like the Play store is still packed with lazy imitations and cash-grab shovelware, haha. I could use some recommendations. I was rather liking a word game called BAIKOH for a moment, but then it turned out to have non-optional video ads. Some of the mechanics were too frustrating to be worthwhile, too.

So Sandship: The last engineer, or however it's called in the app store itself. Pretty neat little merger of factorio elements and idle games. You essentially run a big sand crawling thing that has factories strapped to it. Inside them you set up production chains, tech up, solve quests by throwing stuff you produced at them, all the good stuff. It's a tad simplistic when it comes to the actual complexity of the production chains, atleast at first, it seems they introduce a nice amount of complexity as time goes on. Of course one of the big challenges is working with limited floor space, so those of you into optimizing your layouts in factorio might like this aspect. Best of all it doesn't have any ads and the monetization is not terribly aggressive, consisting mostly of boosters and time-skips, which aren't really necessary if you treat it like a proper idle game and check in on it every now and then.
Pretty sure I saw that in the store. Looks kinda interesting, even if I dislike idle games.
