Raithe

Completed all but 5 of the journey steps in Conan Exiles now. Kind of just started meandering around and building stuff just to see what I can come up with. I saw someone do a speed build of Minas Tirith on youtube and tempted to try that out and see what ideas it might give me.

Although there have been a few studies showing that while the death rate might not be the thing to worry about, there is a higher increase in long-term physical issues for surviving it. But as I recall it was more around "people in x age bracket are at much reduced risk of death. But higher risk of life affecting disabilities." I wonder if they'd pushed that aspect people would have worried more and reacted to it. People aren't that scared of "you might die" but telling them "you might have long term illness and crippling medical bills" might make them think more.

Although you do have to enjoy the potential irony of the situation. Trump possibly caught Covid off a woman. A woman named "Hope"...

But the odds of it being some form of psych-out, that he'll turn around and do a "See, surviving Covid is easy and no hassle and it isn't as serious as people say it is" while at the same time using this news to drown out the questions over his support of white supremacy... ?

Virtual meetings are basically modern seances. "Elizabeth are you here?" "Make a sound if you can here us." "Is anyone else with you?" "We can't see you, can you hear us?"

What can I say, I want to get my rough architectural drafts down somewhere before I try having it look pretty in Conan...

"Playing" in the sense of I spent £1.50 to get Fortify on Steam so I can play around and practice how to set up geometric shapes to build stuff before I waste resources and time in Conan Exiles....

As someone who joined the initial kickstarter on Star Citizen, I performed my annual "okay, lets update the launcher and see how much hassle it is to log in and run things now" out of curiosity. Had to make about 5 attempts before it would recognise my login and password, had to uninstall and reinstall it all, then loaded into the port. Spent about 15 minutes roaming around trying to figure out where my ship was while everything was distinctly laggy, and decided to give it up as a bad job today. Maybe I'll try again later in the week.

Its more that every now and again you get a day where I post about 10 things on the funny things forum. And occasionally put a snarky political comment / meme in the middle of a serious political discussion....
