Combustion, Or Not
Dec. 3rd, 2020 08:40 amIt wasn't quite as cold this morning but I had the worst time getting a fire going. It simply would not catch, and I even found some slivers of fatwood, tore pages out of the phone book, and doused the logs in lamp oil trying to get this thing burning. Fox finally got it to an acceptable level of burniness, after I spent probably 90 minutes nursing the sullen little thing.
We actually are going to wind up with plenty of lighter pine. There are some sick and damaged trees back in the thicker forest, one even has this huge knot of hardened resin around the trunk about twelve feet up where something damaged it.
With my rebuilt computer, I did something I've wanted to do for a while now and reset the graphics in The Talos Principle. Back in 2016 or so I managed to give myself a serious case of motion sickness with the game, so we started tweaking the graphics settings to try to make it less vomit-inducing. Unfortunately we also lowered the quality and it just looked ... bad. The movement wasn't fluid anymore and the backgrounds lost their detail. I reset it and played a bit, and I think now with my "eyes" behind and a little above my robot self I won't get motion sickness, and all the engaging visual detail is back. It will take a while to get back in the groove of playing but it'll be worth it. I was enjoying the game and was pretty far along, too.
I'm probably going to purchase a World Anvil account soon and start posting data for Muna. When I do I'll link to it. But at this point the world-building has gotten so big and detailed that I'm having trouble keeping track of everything.
