Sep. 18th, 2016 06:37 pmAfter all the working and interviews in the last couple of weeks, and my general allergic reaction to shoes, I ended up with a bunch of blisters. One old one now has a yellow patch in the middle and is a little red around the outside, and I was thinking 'did I get a blister on my blister?'. But I had my mum look at it, because she's a nurse, and she thinks actually it's a little infected instead. She suggested I pop it, but I don't really want to do that if I don't have to - it doesn't hurt too badly, and like she pointed out, spots are technically infected and they just go away on their own. So now her advice is 'keep an eye on it, and if more of the outside gets red and then the red starts creeping up your leg, you've got a problem'. So. Now I'm doing that.
Anyway. What I have been doing lately is playing Fallout 4 again, in Survival mode. Nuka-World was a bit disappointing but fun, and but I've been wanting to do a survival playthrough for a while, so I started a new one. I'm insane. Basically Survival mode is exactly the same as the usual game, but you have hunger (that can kill you), thirst (that can kill you), sleep deprivation, you can get diseases, you can't fast-travel, you do more damage in fights but so do your enemies, and you can't save. Everything but the last one is manageable, but the last one. The only time it saves is if you sleep in a bed for at least an hour, so if you can't find one, or you can't sleep in one because there are two many enemies about - you will probably get into a fight shortly afterwards and get killed in a few hits, and have to go back to that morning in the game. Before you did a bunch of stuff, sated your thirst and hunger, and got a bunch of new gear. It's no fun having to play the same missions over and over again. But it is fun to roleplay so hard. I drank from a river and got parasites. Then I had to spend money at a doctor's rather than on a new gun. Also it's pretty addictive. I get a hankering to play it, and try to survive as long as possible, most of the time.
Another thing I have been doing is watching Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty is amazing, and it is a cartoon and I'm sorry, but it's amazing. It's pretty brutal and graphic though, so probably not for everyone. Here is the pilot/short it was based on:
