My phrase of choice when signing in to City of Heroes/Villains. Don't care what time it is. I just say "Good morning LiveJournal!" to the global channel. Invariably, I'm right for at least one other person on the channel. :-p
Last night, I played a new villain for a bit, and then I took some character select screen pictures of various characters. Hidden Justice, Kung Ru, Kalleesta, Violent Inertia, and Dancing Diva. The last two are relatively new, and the last is the one I made last night. Kung Ru is level 43, hence the yellow glowy shit behind her (and in this spiffy new Icon!) which is from her Aura. Hidden Justice is 34, but her Aura is currently only on her third costume. Kalleesta is 27 and rapidly advancing. Violent Inertia, who may get a re-roll, is 4. Dancing Diva is 3. I gave up playing when Mercy Island turned into a slideshow on her.
Oddly enough, I had been having serious slideshow issues on the laptop with CoX. I had turned down most all of the graphic settings as low as they could go, and I was still stuttering like mad every time I turned a corner. So, I said "FUCK IT!", clicked "Restore Defaults" in the graphics options, re-set the resolution to the highest the laptop allows, and rebooted. Suddenly, the screenshow was gone. o_O I hadn't even killed the background processes that don't need to be running on it like I normally do. Only thing I can think of is some random thing on there that says "turning this off will improve performance!" lied and really meant "turning this off will turn your game into a slideshow, motherfucker! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Either way, I was so excited, I logged in to several characters and rearranged their UI's and recolored all of them. :-p
I started doing a Sims 2 challenge that got started on Neigborhood 99 called "The Lonely Shopkeeper". I made Stephen Singleton, a Fortune Sim whose lifetime goal was to earn $100,000. He met that goal 10 or 12 days into the game. ^_^ Now he only sells really really expensive vases and makes huge amounts of money doing it. He just has to take the time to tell all his customers to get lost now and then to get more in who want to shop and not have pillow fights in the middle of his store. 9_9 The perils of having a Rank 10 home business, I guess. Not that you'd know it looking at his home. The only nice thing in his room is his bed, which is the most expensive single bed you can buy, and that's only because I want him awake as soon as possible to re-open his shop! Sadly, Stephen is very lonely. Nobody to love, and only one friend in all of Strangetown. He did find Bella, though! 9_9 And he really really really likes the Thief who tried to break into his store one night while he was asleep. He's still furious at her (he was at -100/-100 after her break in), but his relationship towards her is no 73/65. o_O He still gets the Furious thought bubble, and her portrait still has some of the Furious meter left in it. Very very odd.
Well, it's about time for me to punch in to work at my real job now. And apparently my email box is over the limit AGAIN. Since I just deleted several megs of emails with attachments of death on Thursday, this pisses me off. Of course, I was also mentally retarded and forgot to delete my Sent Items, so that's probably what did it. :-p
Laters!
Yes, you are seeing double. I wanted an actual public post since they are rare and this is the kind of thing I tend to ramble about in case anyone who isn't on my list actually clicked through and wanted to know what I'm rambling about lately. :-p
