It’s just a Game…

I was given Conan Exiles.

I have been enjoying it immensely. However I have been trying to avoid the slave taking in the game. I really don’t want slaves. And I expressed that to the person who gave me the game… and they immediately said it is just a game and that they don’t see the reason why I am so worried about it.

I play games to have fun. Doing the right thing in a game for me is fun. I love crafting and building. In this game gathering and hunting is kinda fun? Not really my normal thing but I don’t mind it as much…

Games that force pvp or something similar tend to be ones that I avoid – actively.

When I said that he pointed out that I have not in the past presented problems with the players in my D&d games having slaves… well I guess I have to go point out that I don’t make other people’s choices for them… and I don’t judge people on their own choices. At least not in entertainment. As long as they don’t literally hurt anyone else with their choice – no one else has room for judgement.

So, what ever way you play – what ever game you play – Game on!

Art subjectivity

The above image I found on Pinterest. I included the link to where it goes… but I used it as my muse. I drew what I saw… and this is what I came up with.

It is an adorable picture.

Is my art exactly the same? No. And I don’t want it to be. I think that I do pretty good with the drawing from an image without tracing it.

Fun new toy

My sister just brought me a new toy for my art. This is going to take me a few days to get it hooked up to play with. (Especially when I have my computer in a state of disarray) Still I am so excited and wanted to share this news with y’all.

My thoughts on OneNote

Okay, I have been working with OneNote since the email from Evernote… and I have some thoughts.

Overall, I am not unhappy with OneNote…

It is not perfect. I have some issues. But it is good enough for my needs.

I can do separate notebooks – which is the only true requirement I had in my writing program.

I can move the notebooks around and I can make separate pages for each poem- which I could not do that in Evernote.

The notebooks have the ability for sections – again not something I could do in Evernote.

It does not have a word counter option 😔. Evernote had that and I am severely missing it.

The option to print is far nicer than that of Evernote, but it is still not allowing me to set it up for the whole thing to be a single document for the pdf. I wish I could have some options for setting up the print to pdf a little bit better.

I can use it offline as long as the notebook is open. However I am limited on how many I can have open.

The best functionality is on my desktop computer on Windows. It is not compatible with my android tablet – though my phone (android) is compatible. I have no options for the Linux laptop except for the web browser version.

The app doesn’t cost me anything but it does require storage space on my OneDrive… which means I have to subscribe to it…It is cheaper than Evernote was monthly by about 60 cents…($8 vs $7.45) so I am not going to complain.

All that is to say that I am not upset about the situation. I’m sorry Evernote chose to lose my business. But I think that I found a substitute that works for me. Would I recommend it? Yeah. It has the functionality I was looking for. The lack of a word counter is the biggest complaint that I have… but I can make do with online word count tally sites. Not a big deal. Annoying, but only minorly so.

Wild Wednesday

Thanks to a wonderful gift my computer is getting a much needed upgrade.

So, it was decided that I would do a fresh install at the same time..

The only problem with that is NOW I am doing the back up of files that I have been avoiding for months…

UGH.

This is going to be a bit…

However, I will have more space as the upgrade includes another Terabyte Hard drive(SSD), and 16g Ram ( I currently have 8) and a pretty nice new CPU Cooler that will extend the life of my system. I am quite tickled by the gift.
