What the heck is Miranda instant messaging? Apologies if that isn’t the exact name, but I saw it mentioned in the NVDA User guide and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it before.

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@evilcookies98 It's a part of Miranda NG, a successor to the popular multi-protocol instant messaging client for Windows--Miranda IM. I didn't know about it until I did a web search for some information! https://miranda-ng.org/

I have been playing/consumed by this awesome game! Is anyone playing it?

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@GaymerGeek I haven't decided if I will get Eiyuden Chronicle, still on the fence! After I play a good chunk of SunnySide near the tail end of this month...I will have made up my mind!

The house is back to trying to freeze me to death. I will miss my days of warmth. Even though it was a little too warm.

(Meaning my partner is home and has cranked the AC).

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Melezioh Yep, this sounds like me during the warmer time of the year...I may set the AC to about 69 to 70 degrees as heat is so exhausting!

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Melezioh It's not all that surprising given we all have custom comfortable temp ranges...As a Midwesterner, I surprisingly handle the heat abysmally (since Summers can be hot as a church goer's hatred in Kansas).

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Melezioh Yeah, I'm glad you adapted so well to the heat in the South! Honestly, if I could drive and had an amazing job I would move to Michigan or Minnesota! As I am an avid enjoyer of cold ass weather (which proper clothing, of course).

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Melezioh Yeah, northern winters are no joke...Kansas winters are similar, with only bursts of negative temps. Not the consistent all Winter long negative temps of the north.

I 100% relate to the Orville Peck song cover of 'Smalltown Boy'. In a way, it mirrored my own experience in a small city; Misunderstood, bullied, I didn't cry after a while of this happening. I looked at others with dead and unaffected eyes, my face resembled a burial mask giving nothing away.

On the inside, there was an emotional storm...A teen boy trying to find out how to become a person in the eyes of others. I like to think I found the answer, like he did.

@lohihilo Changed my toot to reflect the new to me information you provided, as I was moved but not reading deeper into the history of this coming out song (that much I did pick up on).

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@lohihilo I might check this song out later, once I’ve had some coffee! I can’t be emotionally wrecked (in a good way) until I’ve got some caffeine in me.

Ok I still have the OG PS4 and Xbox One X and both have been amazing for me. The One X surprised me with how much value it still has as a game pass machine.

However this is where I’m looking for some answers. Is it worth jumping to a Series S when the Switch has been good so far? I think the Series S would just allow me to get faster access to game pass and maybe touch a few “next gen” games here and there. Anyone else a frugal gamer?

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Klumpmeister I feel like the Series S is an improvement over the Xbox One X but the Series X is the crème de la crème console!

The Series S can handle all the modern games rather well and is quite affordable. There will be a point when more developers don't develop games with the Xbox One X in mind...Having one of the Xbox Series consoles would be a wise move.

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Klumpmeister The Xbox One X can't run Cyberpunk 2077 very well...While the Series S does, that difference caused me to accept the oddness of classifying consoles as next-gen or not (it also had something to do with CDR giving up on the PS4 and Xbox One X).

Sure the Xbox One X is still a capable machine, but it's reaching stage where it will be outclassed by the Series consoles. I love that Microsoft is going for Accessibility too, but segementation is an issue caused by their Series push.

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Klumpmeister As I did mention, CDR did give up on the last gen consoles, as they were having trouble getting Cyberpunk 2077 working well on PS4 and XBX. The performance from switching from the XBX to Series S was wild! It was almost from slideshow in a lot of cases to smoother framerate experience (after a patch or two).

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Klumpmeister This sort of performance/optimization gap will only get worse, as more developers are defaulting to the Series Consoles or PS5 that each manufacturer is pushing. For the last gen consoles, they will be able to play games of their generation well and be useful in that sense...However, those who want to play newer games using older consoles may get left behind.

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Klumpmeister Yeah, I played Cyberpunk 2077 launch day too on the XBX...I couldn't do it, my eyes were hurting from the generally poor framerates. I had to wait until getting the Series S to even progress just towards the end (got a few more quests to go, I want to romance Kerry Eurodyne fully first).

2: What are your MC's living conditions like? Are they better or worse than average?

The MCs in the Book of the Astral Kingdom are mostly equivalent to Nepo babies (except not as shitty and they do actively work in the family business). Their accommodations are rather roomy, well furnished, equipped with servitors to keep their places clean and stocked with energy to consume. Along with personal doors to places of note on the Umbrian continent. So, better than average!

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

Continued

Tannisgre, his previous incarnation grew up in the Clanless Wild commune. His accommodations weren't bad as he had everything needed to lead the Clanless but it would not be on par with those Entishay who were born and deemed a member of a Clan.

Less roomy and sophisticated, the vibe would be rural bougie in my opinion! As there were no Grandmasters of Construction and Creation, so it was certainly rougher in nature but sturdy enough to endure.

May2. Have you had an idea halfway or more through a project that requires extensive rewriting of what you've already done?

Yes, this is a constant problem for me because that great idea often fundamentally alters the course a story would take to reach the summary of its ending which I made. I have been afflicted by this problem for many years. With short works, I find it takes just a few hours to rewrite; longer works just get scrapped and started anew. ROFL

Pretty rich of our team leader at work to wish us a happy Mayday after chewing many of us out for clocking out one minute too early last shift

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@slanderoid A minute is absolutely nothing to complain about. ROFL An hour would be something to talk about!

What could be done in a minute anyway? Synchronized flipping off the Team Leader before clocking out, but nothing else is achievable within a small-time window.

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@slanderoid ROFL That sounds like a fun time! Hopefully it would get him to see that he was being a dick...

May 1: OMG! What happened to your MC's parents?

All the parents for the MC's of my Astral Kingdoms story are alive and mostly involved with the lives of their children! Some even contribute to the progression of the story.

Two Brothers, their parents are mega dead, and the mystery of their father eventually moves that plot along!

In Druid of the Shifting Leaves, one out of five fathers has suffered an ignoble death!

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

Continued!

In Storybook of the Dead and Deathless, The Maiden of Iron's creator ran away, due to the heavy guilt he felt forcing her to participate in his insane revenge plot. The Maiden is a composite being formed from the corpses of all the sisters he tortured; a quite dark storyline to pursue.

In all my random stories, parents tend to be like Schrödinger's Cat in an unknown state of alive or dead...Usually, I don't explore the state of their existence in my short works.

This I experienced random weak grip strength. ROFL Broke a glass bowl into so many shards with one hilariously unfortunate drop on the metal corner of my sink. So much glass to clean up before I even had a chance to get caffeine in my system. I'm so good at picking up glass that I suffered from no cuts on my fingertips (a random pair of shards got my wrist). I even had some small shards cozied up under my big toe, but no cuts suffered (had to walk through glass to get to my broom).

This song, Same Old Story is iconic! It’s been an ear-worm for some of today due to the anxiety inducing event that happened at work. A way to soothe a troubled mind and body, I’m feeling better now. Music is truly a mind saver at times!

I'm not sorry. The next American who tries to tell me that one of the great things about the USA is freedom, I'm going to laugh in their face.

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Strider ROFL Yeah, I laugh in my fellow Americans faces for that too as; Freedom without learning critical thinking is a terrible thing. It’s allowed disinformation and misinformation to thrive, without harsh penalties to those who spread such shite…Freedom is our undoing, instead of a boon for America.

WanderingInDigitalWorlds,
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds@mstdn.games avatar

@Strider I replied with that in mind, as not everyone is able to respond freely due to the regional social contract. I’m less bound by the social contract when it comes to nationalists. I want to poke holes in their ideas!
