Just got my killbox tested by a bunch of raiders deciding to drop by. I'd say, it's quite a success! Just some material damage that can be repaired, but none of my pawns got wounded! They're only pissed off that it is in the middle of the night, lol.

When the raiders ultimately decide that it's too much effort to attack your base and go attack the arriving trade caravan instead.

Jeez, today's Worldle was pretty tough! 😋

I like the 'Inspired Taming' event, _and_ that a pair of Thrumbos decide to pass by at the same moment.

Guaranteed Thrumbo pet. :D They make for great attack animals too!

Another 2 hours of gardening done. The front garden is at least very much cleansed up. I still need to trim the butterfly bush someday, but that's for another time (I'm aware that it's kinda late).

And my back's also pretty broken now, so that's not going to be doing anything for the rest of today. And tomorrow I'll take it calmly too I think. It was a bit chilly today, I had to wear my raincoat against the wind. Tomorrow won't be much warmer either.

Chatting with an American buddy of mine about his place (Flagstaff) and the Grand Canyon and all that. And I _still_ can't wrap my head around the elevation he lives at.

I mean, even their 'lowest points' are still at a considerably higher elevation than my whole damn country. :D

To compare, we have one oversized hill of about 400 meter high. And _that_ is what we call a mountain!

Phoenix (about 2 hours south of him) is sea level. So biking from Flagstaff to Phoenix is a nice cruise without too much effort. The other way however.. ehhhh. :D

*Sees a pawn on fire*

Mm should I rescue them?

*Checks their bio*
*Sees the Pyromaniac trait*

Oh, no, they're having the time of their (very short) life.

Great weather today. Sunny at first which was a tad too warm, but got cloudy soon after so it was great for gardening! The warmth is still lingering around.

Will take a hot bath soonish for a nice soak. That's a lot of plants trimmed today.

Weirdly enough it is the unused Duracell batteries that show the first signs of corrosion. The unused homebrand ones are all fine.

Also, I need to buy new batteries.

Heh, encountered quite a few empty spots in the aisles over at my closest supermarket.

Yeah, I shop at the AH, why do you ask? ;)

This modding is getting out of hand!
Now I'm sorting and redefining the Architect menu!

Just tried to empty my vacuum's bin... So. Much. Dust.

I don't think I've managed to empty it for reals, but at least I can vacuum again.

Oof, I'm not getting off this chair for the rest of the day. Walked around for 3,5 hours at the flea market on King's Day. I only scored 2 Donald Duck Pockets, damage was a mere 70 cent. :P No Loekie plushie to be seen alas.

Funny highlight: Saw a guy sitting with a sign saying 'Erg Matige Portretten' (very mediocre portraits). Had to laugh. ;)

Roads were jampacked with people. Often we had to stand still until we could continue again. There were like 90% trash for sale (as always). Some nice things too though, but not ones I'm interested in.

Surprisingly saw no LEGO, and not that many comics either. Lots of LPs though (singles), and shoes. Shoes. Shoes. Bunch of homemade goodies as well. And lots of clothes of all kinds. Some vintage stuff too.

Funny highlight: There was a guy sitting on a mat with like 5 pairs of new looking high heels on display, and he looked proud too, it was amusing to see.

There were a bunch of small orchestras too. Kids with violins, adults with cellos and some sort of flutes.

At the end we went to a toko to buy some Indonesian snacks for our freezers. Lempers and Dim Sums for me! Also bought delicious sate ayam street food in front of that store, it was close to perfection.

But right now I don't want to do this kind of stuff anymore. At least, not for one year. 😋
#Koningsdag

Went out to dinner, and then on the way back home I saw hundreds of students walking towards the Stadspark. They're clearly going to be celebrating Koningsnacht soon. Some roads have been blocked for car traffic now. Good thing all the bike roads were perfectly accessible. :)

Always fun to see the side-effect of a server-wide suspension. :P

mstdn.social blocked qoto.org for a bit, so everybody from there that I was following is auto-unfollowed. They also likely auto-unfollowed me (without knowing, oh so fun. It's not like you get informed of your admin's actions automatically.)

I guess I'll have to see who I'm missing in my timeline? :P

Everybody's dead, the game's over. Whelp, I'll have to make a new colony!

And maybe, just maybe, I shouldn't uncover ancient dangers. But damn, it is _exciting_!

I have come to the conclusion that I absolutely hate Create, the Minecraft mod. It is so fucking cumbersome, and too 'realistic'. This won't work, too much friction, not enough power at source, too fast it'll overheat! And then trying to figure out the 1000 cumbersome ways just to get a fucking gear rotating.

I WANT MAGIC BOXES! I grew up with Applied Energistics and Thermal Expansion machines. That's what I want. Not a gajillion rotating things in my base that takes up the space of the whole base itself! And if something doesn't work, you gotta disassemble everything and then reassemble everything! Oh fuck that!

For those who say 'Git Gud', I've managed before to have ComputerCraft interact with the Create Crafters so I can autocraft shit. BUT I HATED IT! I don't want to mess with gears and shit. I want to be ... PLAYING the actual game, you know?

Mm, doubling my page file size seems to have helped. It was set at half my RAM, and is now upped to the same size. Vivaldi and Minecraft were having memory issues together even though I still had plenty of RAM available.

At least I seem to be able to use Vivaldi now while Minecrafting. *knocks on wood*
