I have two broken lawn movers, which I’d fix.
I know nothing about lawn movers, so I think I could have a good time going through all the phases of hope, anger and eventually success.
Well it’s a bank holiday in the UK so most of us did.
I bought a 100L pool and a parasol, sat in the garden dipping my feet in cool water and drinking rum in the shade.
I did today. I’m on holiday and it was very hot.
- Got up really early and did a coast walk before it got too bad - and before too many people were around
- Full English at a cafe
- A bit of gaming
- Posted some stuff to Lemmy
- Read a few chapters
- Watched a film
What’s the book if you don’t mind me asking?
Smuggling Under Sail in the Red Sea by Henri De Monfreid at the moment. I didn’t know what to expect of it, but it is really fascinating and atmospheric - as well as being as casually racist as you would expect of the 1920s.
I didn’t know what to expect of it What a great attitude to start a book with.
Ideally I’d draw all day. Realistically I’m too tired to do anything but scroll.
Today was a holiday for me with no obligations! I went to the park for a walk and came home to spend hours working on hobby software dev work. Might make some food soon. Tomorrow I’ll wake up and work on professional dev work. Save me…
It’s been raining. Taking the kayak to the local class III creek. Did that yesterday too. Gotta play while there is water.
I’m just chilling at home all day. I was supposed to work on some new music but was too lazy. I have work again tomorrow so might as well make the most of my not doing anything.
I played Cyberpunk 2077 for a long time.
That’s a good looking day. Love that game.
Oh man, I really love it!
Gym, then reading a random nonfiction book at the local library, then having blueberry pie at my favorite café, then studying some C at the same café, then maybe asking my newly found friend if they wanna hang out, depending on how our first “date” goes tomorrow.
Only 1 day? Then just a few fun things … Running, bee keeping, building outdoor kitchen, rebuilding my network and servers, smoking ribs and shotgunshells, swimming, playing records and tapes, quad maintenance, tree felling, wood splitting & stacking, and during lunch (burger from the grill) i’ll think of something for the afternoon. But, the day ends with sauna for sure.
gaming, browsing Lemmy, chatting on Discord. you know, the usual.
I had self directed time. moved over to a new (for me) laptop with bazzite on it. would have been much quicker except for a thing I thought was appimage but was chrome.
It’s memorial day in the US today. I spent the day playing stardew valley and RV there yet with my friends since we all have the day off work.
Work on our SW5e campaign
Pentecost Monday is a holiday where I live. I binged almost an entire season of Game Changer and created my first Paralives household.
How is Paralives? I’m curious about it but am worried that genre just isn’t for me. I want to like it though…
I haven’t played much past creating characters and redesigning their home so if you want to know how the actual lifesim aspect feels, I would recommend the 45 minutes of gameplay video on the official channel.
That being said, the creative side is amazing. Even though you don’t have as many clothing items and objects as Sims 4 has accumulated over the years, what you have is extremely flexible. Everything (skin, hair, clothes, furniture, walls, floors, …) can be freely recolored, often with multiple color slots and patterns. Clothes can be layered so you can freely pick which jacket goes with which shirt - and of course you can color them separately. Furniture can be resized, often separately in different dimensions and they will procedurally adapt to those new dimensions. For example, two-seater and three-seater couches are the same item. Just make a two-seater a bit wider and a third seat appears.
I could go on but I guess you get the general idea.
There are a few bugs (most noticeably a broken animation when a Para gets up from sitting at a desk) but for an early access indie game it’s already more stable than I would have expected.
