I can't believe I got sucked into another time sink Last summer we visited our in-laws and my BIL got my 8 year old hooked on it. For this winter break, they watched our son for the week and BIL built him a gaming CPU. We got that hooked up last week and after I had finished getting it going so they could chat, BIL asks "So what's it going to take you to play?" I played that afternoon. BIL is very experienced and got me kitted out with iron based stuff. Felt I needed more time to come up to speed and spent the week in my own world. They were working on moving their base and I was tasked with building a house for beds. A few hours later, they had enough at about the same time. Me? I played another 90 minutes on his server getting a drat hearth going in babby's second janky house.

Icon Of Sin posted:Eels are the bane of my existence when I’m in the swamps, for my boats getting wrecked My favorite was doing all of that and forgetting the exact path into/out of the swamp. "My Black Forrest boat port is not that far away, maybe I should just portal back to that and walk my way back here to refresh my memory? Nahh". Yoked up, I wandered into a tiny corner of plains, was a little too new to the cart usage so I couldn't disengage, and got spanked by deathsquitos and trolls that I hadn't quite mastered. Took me a good hour to clean myself out of that one.

Odin: Build the perfect stairs in this tower. Me: Portal  Odin: You cowardly defeated Moder with arrows from under her alter, you cowardly defeated Yagluth from under his alter drawing him out with a wood floor over the trench that you proceeded to splash damage him with a sledge 30 points at a time, you....to Hel and it's mistress with you!

Last night after I confirmed my current mistlands was too tiny (but surprisingly good for spawning like 6 gjalls; being adjacent to plains and black forest I got a ringside seat to some gjall vs troll/loxes), I moved on to another island and got a "proper" mistlands biome with ancient armor and so far one infested mine. For awhile when I've seen builds using nothing but black marble, I thought they looked tacky without any contrast. I still feel that way visually, but after deconstructing one tower and filling a (non reinforced) chest with black marble, I get using it so much. Stuff is like beech tree wood in the mistlands. Now I'm thinking of ways I can spice up my base.

Do people not spam the mistlands with torches? My map following is ok, my memory of where I've been is ok-ish, but it's so disorienting I feel like if I get attacked/chased, I'll panic and either fall off/run into a cliff with low stamina.

Starting in March, my house building got relatively better but I'm otherwise hopeless. Seeing what my brother in law (who has played the game close to its release) was building on his server compared to mine just embarrassed me. In an effort to up my game, I came across this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TttDdY3JvPI I didn't build it step-by-step, but used it as a technique/guideline (for example, mine's 10x10 instead of 12x12) and I love it. The layout is great and having all of the upgrades in the basement makes the usable space clean and efficient. I wiped out a Draugr village at the top of a hill overlooking the ocean and doggedly stuck with the location (one of the rehabbed buildings is now my chicken coop). After realizing quickly that hoofing ore up the hill was a chore, I finally completed a double-wide stone stair case to my dock which is both ugly and janky looking.
