Been keeping myself very occupied with gaming. Work, Sleep Eat, Game :D. I have a three quarter coat on order. Waiting for Cyberpunk 2020. Reading and then one of my favourite pieces of dance music came on. So I danced. The piece? "Tears in Rain". It's been too long. Fatigued but pleased.

Last update two months ago....oops? So I've played a lot of AC:Odyssey in the last couple of months. I started three weeks of Holidays a fortnight ago. I've started watching two new streaming services to my media.

So the primary reason for holidays was the CoNZealand (World Scifi Convention). I'd made all of the arrangements to visit Wellington, for eight days, for it in early...

So a week into the L4 Lockdown (about two months ago), my desktop decided it was going to have an issue where it reset every 20-30 minutes. I bought a new motherboard, cpu and ram. I spent five hours on Saturday putting it all back together then a further three hours today fixing the "faults". I finally have a working desktop again (pending successful tests...

"Oh, ahh, whativIbinuptolately? er, ar, I haven't been ignoring youall, honest!" We've been in our L2 lockdown for a fortnight or so now. Essentially back to work with contact tracing. I've been playing Civ6 for lack of better games. watched stuff. Being in an industry which could work in lockdown makes a big difference to what can be done through out that time. Pretty much,...

So NZ went into lockdown on Thursday (well, Wednesday a minute before midnight). I think it's the right thing to do to get the pandemic under control in this country. By isolating everyone in their homes for a month we can severely limit the infections and identify households where it's been caught without needing to track and trace. It's highly disruptive but not as much...

I've spent more time on FB than usual in the last couple of weeks. I researched Covid-19 and made a post about the facts at that point and have started updating weekly. It's not really necessary though since WHO update daily as does the US CDC. It just makes it easier on my friends who don't have the time to keep up-to-date.

Other than that...

Hmmmm.... hadn't been paying attention. So I finished playing the latest chapters of "Breathedge", hit over 1100 hours of Conan Exiles and have started playing The Witcher 3 again, this time on Death-march. I've also bought multiple games under the cost of $NZ20 looking for new/interesting (failing abysmally obviously)

Watched all of "The Expanse" season 3. One of the streaming sites which has been consistently...

New edition to "Thunderbolt Fantasy", a prelude movie! I didn't realise it until I started watching, I thought it was the first episode in a third season. I actually shouted "That was so F'ing Awesome!" at the end. *sigh* If they do a third season it'll probably arrive in 2022.

So, knowing that I had three weeks at home, I ordered a new a new monitor to make better use of the new GPU and a new computer chair. The monitor arrived on Monday 23 and has been pretty awesome, the chair arrived yesterday, Monday 30. For an expensive chair it's pretty meh, but it's my own fault, it's an "Aerocool" and my subconscious was...

What a terrible start to my holidays. Didn't sleep well overnight then, when I played a game I hadn't played before, one of its features? effects? gave me a splitting headache and nausea to boot by 10AM. I laid in bed till 3PM afterwards then got up and watched the first three episodes of "The Witcher" because I was still recovering.

I've spent weeks building...
