    Was gonna head out tonight for some DnB action but that wouldn’t be wise w/ everything going on. Bees dick away from taking ol’ girl to emergency yesterday and seeing flu/rona current stats not risking it as it’d be the nail in the proverbial for her and that’s the last thing anyone needs.

    So limited to outside dopamine things I think for now which is no biggy.

    But, still need a rave choon

    Today was a beaut of a day after all that incessant cloud and gloom. Really motivating me to gtfo from my unit because even when there is sun I hardly see any of it in my living room. So it was good that I was out all day today, took some lunch to a lovely low key event then went to my aunts to fuss over removing silicone residue from the bathtub for hours, super zen. It is so good to be working with my hands and helping someone else. I’m going to plan to do that as much as possible at my aunt’s in WA. Need to break the screen addtction…

        Yeah, I’ve decided I’ll keep my current rental for now and treat it like glorified storage I can live in and don’t need to pack everything to fit into. As cathartic as it would’ve been to leave Vic free from the past in some ways, I think I would’ve been putting too much stress on myself to pack everything, find storage, movers, rehome my indoor plants, then come back and crash at a friend’s place until I find another place, move again… I need to cut myself some slack.

        I’ll try other ways of motivating myself to move somewhere better for my psyche rather than falling into a rut when I get back

    Today has been a lovely day. Sun is shining. It isn’t freezing.

    It started out with a bit of web surfing when I woke up which is a habit I want to break out of. But then I think I renewed myself by making some rice and bean concoction, practised some music, took dog for a run (he makes me run faster), chatted to my aunt, and sat in the sun. Now I’m going to play some Stardew and then do an evening shift.

    Cheers!

      So I was talking with Miss Seagoon about playing Expedition 33 and that I am going to buy a game controller and she said if I have a gaming computer that’s better than a controller.

      I would have to practice both to become adept and fast as I haven’t played those kinds of games for a long time.

      So controller or no?

      ( no would mean I could start gaming tonight )

        The game is turn based and has some quick-time reaction events (click button at right time). Definitely can be done with a keyboard and mouse.

        Here’s the PC control layout

        Looks intimidating but you’re not using everything all at once.

        I enjoyed playing it with a controller, but if you’re not used to a controller to start with, a keyboard is likely fine. Like Mean said, you’re not using all of the buttons at once. Just learn your dodge/parry buttons! The game is good at explaining as you start. I’d say give it a whack!

        The other thing that might help is turning down the difficulty setting.

        It gives more leeway with reaction times for dodging and parrying.

        If you didn’t want to spend extra money stick to keyboard and give it a shot then you could get a controller if it isn’t quite clicking with you on keyboard.

      The music is beautiful and catchy at the same time depending on the track.

    What song brings up a specific memory for you?

    Earthquake by Labrinth just played on the radio and I always immediately picture the floor of a retail store I worked out when I first moved to Melbourne because I would be left just about alone to close the store at 9pm and would end up blasting the store CD to get through.

    Delta Goodrem Innocent Eyes always makes me picture the loading screen for Rollercoaster Tycoon 2.

      Pretty much any grunge or metal album that came out in the late 90’s.

      So many parties and memories.
