Subnautica

IF YOU STILL GO TO LOGAN YOU ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS IN SCHOOL WITH 500000 TIMES LESS HOMEWORK I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR LONG RANTS ANYMORE WTF.

With that out of the way, I'll be talking about Subnautica, a game about oceans and aliens and freaky fish animals chasing you and trying to murder you friendly fish that are friendly.  To begin, let me talk about the visuals.  This is probably one of the most beautiful games I own, competing with Just Cause 3 (Technically don't own it, I just used to have it from a game sharing thing with a friend)  and KSP (JEB IS HANDSOME).  

Screenshots don't really do this game justice and I highly recommend you go out and buy it if you have a good computer.

The game is also extremely atmospheric.  Nearly every fish is bigger than you and makes weird noises and nearly everything has a way to kill you.  And your only completely safe space is in a tiny pod with no land in sight.  Oh and there's also these things.

The sound design is amazing as well.  Every single thing makes noises completely off of what you normally hear which just adds to the eeriness of the game.  And the music for the game somehow is able to amplify the feeling of being totally alone.  But none of these single aspects of the game do it justice.  The charm of the game comes from hearing the noises and seeing things lurking in the depths below and being fearful of them because you don't know what they are, but knowing you have to face them in order to progress.

This isn't from the current version of the game, but it's the best I could find of night time.  In the live version you can go under the water and see everything glowing and not explore that at all because fuck that shit there's probably something directly below that wants to eat me.

I reaaallly recommend this game and its probably my personal #1 game of 2018 so far.  If you do end up getting it, use good headphones.  It's not the same experience without them.

Library of Babel

As you might know, I get easily distracted in high school I enjoy finding websites and I enjoy books.  So this one is very interesting to me.  The Library of Babel.  Originally, this was based off of a short story about an infinite array of hexagonal rooms filled with books four hundred ten pages in length filled with random characters.  Because there is an infinite amount, every piece of writing ever made or ever to be made is somewhere in that library.  The website linked above is an online replication of this concept.  Of course, because you cant actually have infinite storage the website is based off of seeds that generate each hex, but what those seeds do is create a location for each pod so that each pod can be accessed from any computer with the location of it.  For example, go to the website and go to room one and open the very first book on the first shelf of the first wall it should start with lcmruvssr. But this is just one room, and although I haven't looked through it all there likely isn't anything of interest in this room.  The thing is,  there are so many rooms that the seeds for them use alphanumeric coding so that they dont get too long and even then they are usually like a page long.  So in theory, every thought you've ever thought and every thing you ever have written is somewhere on that website, as well as anything that ever will be written or thought by anyone.  Including this post.

Annnd this post was really long and boring considering how long it took me.  Was supposed to be for yesterday but school is a lot of work.  Which kind of sucks considering that makes that the first day in the regular season of SoL that Ive missed.

I've gone too far

WTF IS GOOGLE

WHY ARE THESE A THING WHO THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA WHY DO THESE EXIST.  THIS IS WORSE THAN DEMON BEAR FROM A FEW YEARS AGO (MIGHT HAVE BEEN LAST YEAR).  THIS IS WORSE THAN LAST YEARS PHOTOSHITS.  END THIS BS I HATE IT A LOT

Nice.

Idk

Have a lot of homework to do, (that I have been neglecting for LEGOs) so this is mostly a picture post.  Considering repainting the miniminifigures into kerbals to reflect the true greatest astronauts of our time, but that would probably increase the chance of the rocket exploding.  ALSO ALL OF THE STAGES SEPARATE AND THERE IS A SPOT INSIDE FOR THE LANDER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Probably enough fuel to strand Jebediah in space

Valentina, I don't know if that's the proper launch position

YOU PUT THE STAGES IN THE WRONG ORDER AGAIN BOB

Left on earth as a display so Jeb can use his new parachute

Unfortunately, the lander ran out of fuel because Jeb wasted it all going on a joyride.  Damn it Jeb

An Explanation for Yesterdays Post and All my Wasted Time

Yesterday, I had a rather short, low effort post about ARGs.  And, being me I felt like wasting hours of my life on creating an ARG starting there.  Check it out if you haven't already figured it out or didn't even realize it was there.  If you're too lazy to check it out yourself or want to laugh at me for expending too much energy into putting this together, here's a summary of the ARG.

diving into the source code we can find this in between lines.  I tried to hint at this during the visible part of the post (And by "hint" I mean try to make it blatantly obvious).  But what could this all mean!?!?!?  And what's that binary?

Huh, that's strange.  That has a link to a random twitter account.  That seems odd but maybe we should check it out.

Aha!  The profile picture!  Lets put it into a QR Scanner and find what it links to.

Oh, it links back to my blog.   Kind of boring I guess.  I've never seen that post before though, maybe I should check my own blog sometime.

Wait a sec... This is oddly cryptic.  How does one even go about setting up an autoreply?  It's not like there's a built in function for gmail intended for vacations or anything...

WOW! It works!  That blurred out thing at the top is a shortened URL, but you have to go through the process yourself to see where it leads (Technically you could just email the address from the last picture but thats boring)

Now that people only interested in my stupid games have left,  I'm going to talk about school because who doesn't want to hear about whatever the hell techies do (Mostly tech stuff btw).  Today as a major we went to see The Who's Tommy.  It was really good.  I recommend going to see it completely blin- wait shit I shouldn't be making puns about the musical, its too late for that.  Anyways, the music was extremely loud and at times was deafeni-  DAMN IT! I DID IT AGAIN.  Sorry.  But anyways, you should see it.  It's amazing.  Also, don't see the movie, its extremely dum-  GOD FUCKING DAMN ITrdftgy dsfkuhdfqsergtfbulé-pyy( 'p-t' "(-è)'"( yp_o"gyer azofdtè- _oaé"rvotè_qfzeoè_t ( ry-èt "'(r -t''(r "èt_ày "a(-'à(a' yè(a "')yè ('- zsyèh('" by(z"b y)yb p('q(r yph"'ry^_ '"( _y))y y_) ('èa 'è= ('a"=è -(z t

Seriously don't see the movie it's shit

Maia, I don't know what you were expecting with footlong weapons.  This is what you get.

I'm now taking requests for more flags to improve upon now that I am able to use Photoshop again!  Yay?

Definitely not an ARG

Wouldn't it be interesting if somebody hid an ARG/Online Easter Egg hunt in their SOL?  Like something hidden in the source code or something and then there's all sorts of things like encoded messages and things that have to be googled.  Really would be fascinating, wouldn't it?

Didn't have a lot of time, I'll try to catch up on photoshops later.
