Nov. 12, 20: More Tutorials, Posting, Xbox, Root Canal, Laps, and Games

over 3 years ago

Getting up around the same time these days, around five thirty or so, which is good...at least much better than the consistent two or three of last week! Still another hour and half short, but that seems to have become the norm as well. Hopefully once things get straightened out with my tooth (and back) I’ll start to get a proper night’s sleep again.

Wasn’t much point really in getting involved in any kind of project, today was all about getting the root canal done. Did the usual morning routine, of course, and Bitcoin still roaring! 😁🤑

We’ve come through sixteen thousand without much trouble, put in a new local high near sixteen five, and then came back a little. It’s been a pretty quick run up, which makes me a little nervous, but we have had a few breathers in there, so I think it’s still a healthy run, just sitting in HODL mode as I have been for a while.

HIVE actually seems to be recovering somewhat as well. Popped back up to nine hundred Sats briefly, but holding around eight hundred. Not heading to the Lambo dealership any time soon, but it’s in the right direction!

There’s still one barrier in my code that isn’t passing information I need between components, so been trying to look for a solution. It works as it is, but you have to refresh the browser, which sends another call to the server...trying to avoid that since it isn’t really necessary, it just needs to rerender an element. Spent some time looking on YouTube and watching some tutorials. Not really found a suitable solution yet though; thinking I might need Redux, but it’s an added complication and dependency as well, so I’d prefer to avoid it. We’ll see.

Busted out a pretty epic post yesterday which I spent more time on than I should admit to and then played some more Aragami on the Xbox.

Got to a point now where I have to ledge jump a series of floors to the top of a tower with these beams of light (one touch kill) rotating and the platforms rotating with only slivers of openings. It’s seriously rediculous!!! You have to watch the ledge, pay attention to the rotating beams where you are and basically anticipate the ones above in a more or less blind jump. This you have to do at least four times in a row successfully which is basically impossible. 😡

I tried it maybe twenty times, popped a troll cheevo for repeatedly dying, and then rage quit. I don’t even want to play anymore cause I’m just going to sit there doing the same stupid thing over and over.

Then it was time for the root canal. Fun times, fun times. It took a couple of hours, but now that part’s done hopefully and with the antibiotics it should get better now. Have to get a crown on it, so another appointment next week again already...already looking like I’m thousands of dollars deep despite having insurance. 😱🤬

I had some soup for dinner and realized that I had over five thousand steps left to go. My back was really killing me as well today and I honestly considered just letting the streak go. But no, the thought of having to start over again motivated me to get it done.

Didn’t take me as long as yesterday, I guess the painkillers helped a bit, and I got my steps done for the day, so hooray, the streak continues! 💪

After that it was for sure already past bedtime and I watched about five minutes of tv before passing out.

No crime in my dCity today! 🤩 I got a lower income for the day still because of the effects of the criminals. Happily, contrary to what I thought, those effects aren’t permanent (I thought the population became the criminals) and I was able to fix it by putting them for sale on the market. 😀 So unfuck gerber and unfuck this game.

Got all my Holybread tasks done as well! 🥳 The epic item event is over now, and it ended up being an almost total bust for me, but I did get one weapon for a mage that was better than the one I had. Out of the only four or five chances I had at items the entire time, none of them were for my archer, of course, so she is still the weakest link. 😭

Kinda’ bouncing around now. I got back up to thirteen again, but then knocked back. At least I’m still holding top twenty.

No change, as is to be expected, in CryptoBrewmaster. Just gathering ingredients...meh. I’m still salty about paying for the right to withdraw and then not being able to withdraw less than a thousand...plus it always seems that play to earn ultimately ends up being pay to play.

Not much time left in the season! Guess I need to play at least a couple games or forfeit the rewards altogether. I suppose something is greater than nothing no matter how little that something is.
