This week I’m still playing Rimworld. I, for some reason, decided that it would be a good idea to start a new game on a mountainous ice sheet. With a lot of loading saves and very careful resource management, my base is not about to crumble any second, and it only took five hundred days to get there. A fun bonus of living there is that when a siege starts, raiders will uselessly shoot mortars while standing in -60F weather.

Also, one of my colonists won’t stop hitting on people. I can look at his mood at any point and he will have been rejected by someone recently, while another of my colonists has two lovers and a wife at the same time.

Other than that I’m still playing Stardew Valley. I started a new spooky themed game with my sibling a bit ago. We just barely managed to complete the community center first year, and I’m working on getting Krobus as my roommate.

Anyway, how is this week of gaming or otherwise going?

 


 

No Post This Week: Mental Health Happens

By Paige Francis Posted Monday Jun 17, 2024

No post this week. Mostly because I’ve spent the week managing around the work in the bathroom I had previously mentioned; coupled with multiple trips to buy the parts I agreed to do after the builder did the drywall, texturing, and flooring. I’ve had multiple occurrences of mental shutdown when several interactions requiring brainpower all hit at the same time. This requires me to have to withdraw and reset. But since this has happened repeatedly and while things were happening that required my input, my stress levels have just continually increased. I’m at the point where I start to snap at people or otherwise react badly when they try to interact with me, and obviously I don’t want that to happen. So I am focusing on de-stressing and making notes for my next therapy appointment. This is a known issue I’ve been dealing with for a few years that is likely the result of a significant trauma event. A decade and more ago, I would typically get aggressive and loud when stress piled up, but technically I was able to deal with it. Part of my therapy is because I don’t WANT to get loud and aggressive when stressed, but coupled with other inputs…I now just shut down in these situations.

I did finish Galactic Seasons 6 in Star Wars: The Old Republic. I’ve also started outlining the next chapter in the Rix’larril’an of the Ascendancy story. I should have a nice, full post next week.

This week I’ve continued to play Rimworld. I’ve gotten all of the research done and my book collection has reached 110 books with a reading bonus of 16%. Other highlights include: one of my colonists threw a tantrum and attacked a mortar causing it to explode, also detonating 60 high-explosive shells and 3 antigrain warheads with it, another colonist divorced Crawdad, then married his son making Crawdad her father-in-law ex-husband. I also decided I didn’t want to deal with raids anymore, so I made a wall of uranium slug turrets with a total of 117 turrets and no more problems with raids.

Stardew is also still going. Not a whole lot to mention, I’m mostly mining in Skull Caverns for radioactive ore.

 

Anyway, what is going on with you guys?

 


 

Home Repair Edition (when everything breaks)

You ever have one of those days that you wake up and find everything is broken? And the dogs tried to bite a porcupine? And the washing machine is in a different room now because it got off-balance during the spin cycle and nobody noticed? And, rightly or wrongly (probably wrongly) you feel like it’s up to you to fix everything because you haven’t had your coffee yet and your aren’t even thinking straight? It’s one of those days. Just like last week, I’m gonna say this will probably be a short one with lots of pictures.

This week I’m still playing Stardew Valley. I’ve finally got up Foraging to level 10, which was much more difficult than I expected. I’m still playing Rimworld on the side. I’ve bought every book any time a merchant shows up. And I’m probably utilizing the load game feature a bit much, at least when combat goes poorly. Anyway, what are you guys up to?
