flotsam, jetsom
Mar. 30th, 2021 05:58 pmThe big problem with mods? If you haven't played something in a while, or if there's a patch, you know you've got 30-90 minutes of mod updating and bugfixing before you can just hop on and play...so you end up not playing a lot of games. Or getting it ready to go, confirming it works, and then...shutting down and gong to bed, and before you get a proper stretch of time to crack it on, it's slid back to "needs maintenance" mental status.
Anyway, I've been sad and overworked and somehow this turned into finally updating FO4 and then falling into it all weekend. That Sim Settlements 2 is quite a good (mod) expansion! I'm having to headcanon current-incarnation Nora as a touch psychic, tho, given she just senses what areas to avoid and secret back ways into scary buildings. It's nice to be back in this world.
Today's Scully's fifth birthday - his second under lockdown, boo. He liked his Among Us pyjamas and the weird caterpillar cake that's a UK birthday party staple, though...and the giant bags of candy that were all he actually requested. So that's cheerful.
We've got so many shelves up around the place now, and a bunch of new electrical outlets. We can damn well plug in anything from any part of any room, now. New carpet is supposed to be installed Thursday, with most of our stuff being moved out tomorrow, but when we checked in with the company yesterday they confirmed they were bringing "lava stone" (ie "white", ie "the wrong bloody color, again") and after a hold on and a call back, was suddenly "mustang" (ie "brown", which we actually ordered), which is totally going to be delivered to their warehouse Wednesday. Yep. Totally. Sigh. I give it 40/60 odds we actually have carpet for easter weekend.
And we're never using "professionals" again, for anything but gas connections. We have youtube tutorials. We've learned how to do our own wiring, after that lousy electrician was too much trouble to go on with. Carpet laying's gotta be a snap in comparison.
