This week I’ve not done very much. I’ve played Roblox and helped my siblings with their various Minecraft projects. I also intend to play the Half-Life 2: Episode 2 VR mod now that I’ve got a slightly better GPU.
What are you guys playing?
Before returning to the Revanites, Kaliyo and I detour back to Kaas City to decide what to do with the Mask of Revan. Ladra wants the mask as a symbol, and possibly believes it contains ancient power. Torrun seems to just want the mask to keep it from people like Ladra and Grathan. I think the situation stinks. Stealing the mask from Grathan is a unique situation…what do the Revanites NORMALLY do? Does that mean Grathan is actually in on this charade? He’s a Sith Lord; sacrificing a few dozen guards every week means nothing to him. The flip-side is what I said to Acolyte Sandor: this is the culmination of a handful of coincidences. But I just can’t believe that. Possible? Yes. But the most plausible explanation is that Grathan and the Revanites are allied against the Emperor and the Dark Council. I haven’t talked to Watcher 2 or Keeper about this, and that may have been a mistake. I considered this journey through the local Revanite Cult to be an extracurricular activity that might help me with my mission to recover Theover Mindak’s contacts. Now it seems possible someone is organizing numerous opposition forces simultaneously.

This post has nothing to do with The Sims Overthinking. The save game is fine, the world is working…about as well as expected, nothing is broken or corrupted. This is fully a tangent due to a hyperfixation of mine over the last few weeks.

This week I’ve finished Graveyard Keeper. It was good, it reminded me a lot of Forager, and I wish I did the quests in a different order, I ended up doing the slowest quest last after doing everything else so I just had to wait for the right items to show up.

I had a different post drafted for this week about the Sims 4 live mode and how broken it is. But instead another migraine. I’d power through but looking at screens is making me throw up. Next week less pain, more complaining.
What is a skinner box, how does it interact with neurotransmitters, and what does it have to do with shooting people in the face for rare loot?
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2017.
It's not a good movie, but it was made with good intentions and if you look closely you can find a few interesting ideas.
Team Cap or Team Iron Man? More importantly, what basis would you use for making that decision?
A look at the main Borderlands games. What works, what doesn't, and where the series can go from here.
Here is a long look at a game that tries to live up to a big legacy and fails hilariously.
The game was a dud, and I'm convinced a big part of that is due to the way the game leaned into its story. Its terrible, cringe-inducing story.
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
Back in 1999, I rode the dot-com bubble. Got rich. Worked hard. Went crazy. Turned poor. It was fun.
A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?
