What Did You Do In Gaming Today

Found a "trail ruins" site while exploring for a location for a new base.  Upon excavating it I found it was a lot more extensive than I was expecting.  There were only about half a dozen blocks visible above ground but it went down about 20 blocks, then branched out in several directions, one of which went horizontally for about 3x that.  

After digging it all out the final tally of loot was mainly large amounts of various colors of terracotta but also quite a few pottery shards and even some of the new armor trim templates.  I found so many "suspicious gravel" blocks at this one site that I went completely through the durability of one brush and had to craft another one.

The collected items even overflowed a double chest!  Everything in the pictured chest was embedded in the hillside, including the profession blocks, the glass panes, the candles, the dyes, and the fancy terracotta.  The most interesting stuff is here.  The rest is in another chest.  (Pretty much more of the same but mostly just additional bulk stuff like mud/stone bricks and gravel.) 

The 5 sherds I found were all new: "friend",  "heart", "danger", "howl", and "burn".  Added to the 4 that I already had that's 9 of the 20 different sherds so far.

I also got "shaper", "raiser", and "host" smithing templates.  Not sure how to use them yet, and I may cheat and look up the patterns online before I try to apply them to some armor.  Apparently it takes 7 diamonds, a solid block particular to the trim, and the template that you want to duplicate to make another one.  A template is consumed in adding the trim to a piece of armor so a full set of decorated armor can get pretty expensive, even if it is only iron armor.  I'd like to see how they look before making that sort of commitment.

I haven't played the disc yet.

I finally completed night 4 of FNaF 2! I watched a guide on yt which made it SOO much easier. Night 5 is still really hard though, definitely having trouble with it.

I also played a bit of Bandori and finally completed an expert level for the first time! It was unnecessarily easy but I'm still proud nonetheless ^^ I don't remember what song it was though ☹

Now that new minecraft content won't be coming out for a while I decided to start a new base in a new chunk out on the frontier.  My original/main base is only about 2k blocks from spawn and is quite old.  It is still quite useful because it has several farms for generating resources and is part of a town with fully-leveled villagers so I'm not abandoning it but the scenery is kinda boring.  :D  This is on my brother's Realms server which we've been playing in for quite a while now.  It was generated in 1.7(?) so the nearby chunks aren't terribly exciting either.  The new site is in a fresh 1.20 chunk with some useful, modern biomes nearby.  It is in a river valley and looks pretty awesome with the shaders on too.  Liking the new(ish) terrain gen algos.

I also did a bit of searching online for examples of what the new armor trims look like when applied.  Of the templates/trims that I have found so far I think I prefer "Raiser", but ultimately "Vex" is the one I'm probably going for on my main set of netherite armor.

Unfortunately netherite isn't the best-looking base to build on.  The patterns really pop on the gold or diamond armor base.  Gold armor might be a bit hard to maintain, even with "mending" and "unbreaking III", but I may build myself a set of diamond armor for looks and keep the netherite as the working set.  :)

Played some Pokémon Fire Red and Super Mario Land 2: Six Gold Coins. Pokémon is Pokémon, and SML2 is a very underrated platformer for the Gameboy Color.

Playing some Sniper Elite 4. Pretty good WW2 flavored slotting simulator. The gameplay loop is much less like traditional sniping and is more in line with an action stealth game. The game favors using a silenced pistol and takedowns for the general rogues gallery of Nazis and Fascists, and sniping for higher value targets. The inclusion of some kind of sound masking in every level can make the sniping trivially easy. The only real difficulty spike if you are competent is if you go on Authentic or Authentic Plus, which removes the guide that tells you where your bullet will go when you hold your breath. Alright game overall. The game and all it's DLC go on sale on steam all the time, cop it and Sniper Elite 3 when they're dirt cheap.

Found a couple rabbits in a meadow up on the hill near the new site & decided to build a cage & farm them.  Not exactly sure why I'm doing it since rabbits don't drop anything but fur and an occasional rabbit's foot.  The foot can be used to make a potion of leaping but the fur can only be used to make leather and it is a lot easier to farm cows for that.  Too bad bundles still aren't in the main game.

Reinstalled AC Unity, really in the mood to play it. Though it got a lot of hate I did find it to be one of my favourite AC games, I adored the story and setting but who knows, opinion might have changed

Playing through some more of Forza Horizon 4. A very modern take on a racing game, it is absolutely not a game everyone can enjoy. The over-the-top cheery vibe presented in the game can be grating at times, but it's definitely one in gaming that is far between titles. Having a good balance of genuine qualities and corniness is a fine line that is difficult to go along. Otherwise, it is a very fun racing game, with collectathon elements in acquiring as many different makes and models of cars as possible. Definitely pick up the gold edition when it's on sale for like 30ish bucks.

Nice! I love that game. ^^ How far did you get before you had to save until later?

I got all the way up to the point where you have to battle Sin, land in Kilika and Yuna is doing the sending. I saved after that but I think I'll probably play some more when I get back inside later tonight.

I usually do a lot of collecting on the game but after I beat it lol I always go back to that place in the calm lands where you can build those monsters at and fight them for mats to make awesome stuff. I haven't done that in a long time though, I remember spending hours and hours doing that.

Found a huge underwater cave system.  These kinds of places are supposed to be good for finding emeralds and diamonds because the ore is technically not exposed to air even though it is readily visible.  Time to brew up some night vision and underwater breathing potions. 

I bet there's Drowned in there tho.  I hate the ones with tridents.

I didn't actually know that the Dark Aeons were in it when I bought it. lol Don't regret it, but definitely unexpected Dark surprise waiting for you if you don't know they're in it. lol

I feel like I should look for that version just for something new.
