Diary - Nov 30 to Dec 06 2024
Dec 07 2024
Sat Nov 30 2024
Sleep 0900 to 1315, 1530 to 1730 (6-1/4 hours)
- Lunch and dinner at mom and dad’s then left for home. Light traffic so got home and was only a little late to gaming.
- Gloomhaven night.
Sun Dec 01 2024
Sleep 0715 to 1615 (9 hours)
- Annoying that Windows games might crash on launch because of default graphics settings. Solutions on the Internet are “edit this settings file to set graphics to DX 11 (or whatever)” when the game should allow you to do that on launch. More annoying if game crashes before it’s gotten a chance to save the initial settings files (e.g. Red Dead Redemption 2).
Mon Dec 02 2024
Sleep 0115 to 0530, 1030 to 1130, 1515 to 1830 (8-1/2 hours)
- Last month was a good month for my stocks. Would like to sell some so I can keep aimlessly drifting with no job.
Tue Dec 03 2024
Sleep 0130 to 0600, 1130 to 1530 (8-1/2 hours)
- Star Trek Fleet Command daily events this month are a bit different than usual. I like the variety though some of these are pretty hard to do. Also lack of easy research events means the 50% week-long bonus we got for winning Incursion might go to waste.
Wed Dec 04 2024
Sleep 0130 to 0515, 0915 to 1145 (6-1/4 hours)
- Dentist cleaning, x-rays, visual exam. Dr Dowd will get back to me if x-rays show something bad.
- C3 Dinner. Kajiken —> Nikumori Aburasoba (dry ramen with pork, a little spicy). Was good.
- Saw CJr playing the Gloomhaven light game, Buttons and Bugs. A scenario is one room with a few bad guys, takes half an hour, and he barely won on his last turn (before he ran out of cards, though he was also very low on hit points).
Thu Dec 05 2024
Sleep 0115 to 0615, 1515 to 1815. (8 hours)
- Termite inspections this morning for first floor units. Woke up early anyway to mod an akaNemsko stream.
- 7.3 earthquake off the coast near Eureka, I guess about 250 up the coast from me. I barely felt it — building settled then I felt a slight tremor and with enough experience you can tell it’s an earthquake tremor. Tsunami warning went out a few minutes later.
- Pacific Coast Termite was here to do an inspection and they did some but then that crew was pulled to fill in for another job and they didn’t tell us until we asked. Annoying since first floor residents had to be at home waiting for them.
- Installed Steam via Whisky. Installed Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Works fine and doesn’t give me a “can’t save settings” error.
Fri Dec 06 2024
Sleep 0115 to 0600, 1115 to 1400 (7-1/4 hours)
- Received another $7.43 from Equifax from their data breach back in 2018/2019. It’s in the form of a virtual debit card which is charged $6 (per month!) if inactive for six months so I should use it immediately or I’ll forget.
- Few stores allow you to pay with two payment methods and going through PayPal also doesn’t work. I’d rather not leave anything for the administrating entity to claim as free money. I guess the easiest is buying something small and using the remainder on a Pay What You Want item.
- Bought 1 item from DTRPG. 2nd item kept getting card error. Got tired of wasting my time so 2nd item from itch.io and I did a PWYW with the remaining amount on the card. Done.
