Pissed and worried

Pissed that I sat with an Amazon preorder of PSVR for months when they have had stock basically all day today
Worried that it will be broken and I will have to send it back

On the other hand I did get that XCOM 2 as a prize so I will have something to play this weekend regardless

I'm sure your PSVR thing will turn out alright, and even if it doesn't, at least you can just send it back (even if that isn't the preferred option).





On my end, I'm just lounging around, not doing anything. I saw a pic from a manga and I thought it was funny enough to warrant looking up but it turns out the source was porn so meh. I'm tired, might nod off or might play some kinda puzzle game like squarelogic until I feel tired enough to fall asleep.

Also, it's finally starting to get cold so I'll probably have to take the air conditioner down soon. Not looking forward to that at all cause bugs tend to nest around the outside of it. Ugh.

I'm sorry for all of the people who haven't been having good days lately. I wholeheartedly believe that good days will come, however, and that you will be feeling better soon :)

Oh, also, people playing DQ builders, if you haven't tried the spin movie with a sledgehammer for harvesting... well... do that. If you don't have the spin move yet, don't bother doing any strip mining or anything yet. The Spin move let's you harvest like 16-30 blocks at once.

Haha yeah, I figured that one out last night. It makes harvesting nice and quick. I'm now at the point where I think the first chapter is not far from finishing up but I want to go talk to all the monsters and do their sidequests before hand. This game is so neat.

Oh hell I didn't know that. I was using right and left on the dpad which... maybe does the same thing? Hard to tell. There are a lot of things about the controls the game doesn't outright tell you.

Also why am I doing errands for a guy who laughs like an evil man? It seems like maybe not the best plan of action.

Oh probably, I never tried that. Which guy laughs like an evil man? I've been assuming the game is cute and good and that no one in my base will turn out to be a bad guy. I do like that there are conflicting opinions about the history of the land being shared by your citizens though.

When he said he was planning to leave, I gave him his own bedroom. He hasn't mentioned leaving since. I assume it's coincidence, but I had to wonder if giving people their own poo poo affects some unseen moral stat. Pippa hints at this by suggesting she'd be more productive if she had her own room. So if nothing else, it might increase the amount that they work in the rooms.

I just got done watching the 2014 movie Whiplash. It was pretty good, and thought I know this wasn't the kind of movie it was going for, I wish that at the end fletcher had gotten some more comeuppance because god was he a massive rear end in a top hat. Hilarious to watch, but a complete rear end in a top hat and he really deserved to get hosed over more than he did.

Somewhat gaming related, I finally got around to watching the first two episodes of Westworld and it's kind of amazing that HBO is making a prestige drama that's basically about the NPCs in an open world game becoming aware of how awful their existences are. It even has quest-givers getting brushed aside by experienced players and recycled assets and a high-level powergamer loving around with the game to try and find hidden content. The second episode even has a tutorial segment and people rolling into the beginner town on a train after they finish customizing their character.
