Fallout, You Know Me So Well
Now, if you know me in person, you know that I have the cooking skills of a blind, deaf, child with no tongue. I neither read recipes nor listen to instructions from real people, so I can feed myself extremely basic things: spaghetti, jello, cheese on toast, cereal. I’m fine with this, because I don’t care how they taste. Cooking for other people? No. I don’t want to. That’s a lot of effort, and I would probably end up making someone sick.
I just got a rolling pin as a drop. A rolling pin. So I can beat people to death with a rolling pin? Seems unlikely that I’d kill anyone with a kitchen implement, but it’s in keeping with my own personal life lore, so I’ll bite.
Oh, It’s a legendary drop? That seems like a bit of a stupid waste of a legendary drop. Does it roll fancy patterns on their faces? Does it poison them, so I don’t have to wait for my cooking to do it? Does it set things on fire, like I’ve done to my kitchen before? Does it do double damage, like my cooking that’s boring AND might make you sick? Does it just sit in my cupboard and do nothing?
Wait, what? It actually poisons people? I was kidding. Oh, Bethesda, you troll, I love you. I will probably never use this thing, but I’m definitely going to put it on display. I actually laughed out loud when I saw this thing. Thanks, Bethesda <3
Photos From the Wasteland 1: Fallout 4 Reviewish Ongoing Series
So, as you know, I got a new laptop, and a rather nice boy I know got me a present before it even shipped. Fallout 4.
The fallout games have always been dear to me, because they combine elements of things I love, with things that I like but am terrible at, so they help me learn. I’m terrible at FPS. Truly terrible. When something jumps me, I freak out, flail, and die. It’s embarrassing. Fallout has an FPS element, but it’s not all shooting, and if there’s a foe I just cant deal with, there’s VATS to help out. I’ve become something of a skilled sharpshooter though, which is nice.
Reviewish: BUNNY PROGRAMMING
Oh m’ goodness. Google. Thank you. 3am cuteness to amuse this insomniac. Bunny cuteness
It’s not really a game, but an Object Oriented Programming tutorial disguised as a very cute, if somewhat off-seasonally-Easterish, bunny game. Basically it uses four extremely basic commands – forward, left turn, right turn, simple/nested loops – in a visual block-placing format to steer a super cute boxy Bunny around a track to nom carrots. If you’re a programmer, it will take you all of five minutes to complete the whole thing, but but if you’re little, it could probably amuse you for a decent amount of time.
Excited, nervous, nauseous, vindicated
So. As you know, about a year and a half ago, my gaming rig committed Hari Kari. I was completely and utterly crushed. I sat in the car and cried for about half an hour. I was bereft.
The only thing I’ll say about Trump
I wish I could stop hearing about him. I’m not American; I’m Canadian. He literally isn’t my President. That being said, I’m equally glad Hillary isn’t either. Were I American, I’d have voted for anyone but either of them.
Lolz I
Kale is not a food. It’s something Waitrose stitched together then dyed green to fill the gap in the market between cabbage and moisturiser for people who’ve spent too long on yoga mats.
DotA 7.0 Update, Later: Reviewish
I’ve found the new update very weird.
I still strongly hate the VERSUS screen. It is violently unattractive.
The new placement of the bounty runes allows for easy farming, but I think it’s excessive; one bounty rune every two minutes is more than ample. I don’t understand the spawning of the buffing runes; it seems kinda random to me.
The aura or whatever those shrines in the jungle? They’re handy, but I feel that they’re unnecessary. I do like the increased creeps in the jungle though.
The gimped bot on each team is still annoying as all hell. I wish I knew how to implement the community AIs.
And why did they move Roshan?
Overall, I like it, but I think it’s made things too easy.
DotA 7.00 Update: Reviewish
I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this update.
I’m not going to do a rundown of all the new features and things, because everyone will do that, and you can read it all here.
