the power went out for a whole day

leafkinzi didn't end up finishing endacopia yesterday night because it was pretty late while i was playing and then the power went out... playing a horror game while in the pitch dark and dead silence made me super paranoid so i had to quit and go to bed >_< i'm such a paranoid person, i only like horror in the daytime x3 when i watched marble hornets a few years ago (which i should really rewatch soon, i love it so much), i wouldn't walk home from my grandparents' house alone because i was paranoid of the operator being in the woods and that it would get me... grown adult by the way. i truly don't think i would ever survive living alone, i'd constantly be asking people to come over just so i wouldn't be by myself to appease my paranoia.
anyway, since i didn't finish it the night before, i planned to finish it yesterday not long after i woke up. i woke up around 11am though, so i decided to wait until after i'd had lunch, and just kind of messed around on social media and watched jamlabs' new video until it was lunchtime. i had rose buldak for lunch and then finished endacopia! i got ending a, no spoilers since it's such a new game, but the ending was so cute ;3; i really liked this game a lot, as mentioned i'm not big on horror but endacopia was such a nice experience, a great blend of cute and unsettling! i struggled a bit with the final boss fight but it only took me about five tries to beat it, so not too hard :3 eventually i'll play again to get the other two endings and the achievements, but this first playthrough took me eight hours so it'll probably be a while before i do that.
after finishing endacopia, i was so tired i decided to take a nap. i slept for quite a while and woke up around 6pm. after getting up, i really considered doing something like coloring or doing pixel cat's end adventuring... but i ended up starting oneshot instead >_< i was worried about the refund period and here i am finishing all three games in the span of a week x3 i'm not sure what i'm going to do once i finish oneshot and have no more new games to play... i might replay papers please to get the last achievement i need to 100%, then start playing tiny bookshop! i mentioned this in one of my last few posts, but i've owned tiny bookshop for almost a year now... i really liked the demo, so i'm not sure why it's taken me so long to finally pick up the full game after buying it.
i played oneshot for around two hours before quitting for dinner and because my sister was home. i had a baked potato for dinner and we watched my 600 pound life while we ate x3 i've never watched that show before but it truly fascinates me. i genuinely cannot comprehend how someone gets to that level of obesity without... i don't know, dying? the episode we watched most of the woman's weight was in her stomach and it literally almost touched the floor when she stood up... i can't imagine how painful that would be. it all just kind of baffles me, the amount of calories you have to be consuming in a day to not only get to but maintain a weight of 600+ pounds has to be insane, i just don't really understand how it's possible.
it's now wednesday as i write this in notepad on my computer, since i've lost the ability to write directly into dreamwidth... the power went out yesterday somewhere around 6-8pm, and is still off now at almost 1pm the next day. as of this morning, we have no estimated recovery time and for places like columbus the estimated time is friday... so we'll see when i end up actually being able to post this T^T
i can't remember the last thing i mentioned in what i was writing yesterday. i don't think i'd actually even finished what i was writing about monday, but i genuinely can't remember what else i did on monday either ;3; yesterday i woke up at about noon, and i started my day by doing the trash because it was storming in the morning and i needed to get it done in case it stormed again (spoiler warning: it did). i took a shower after, and then had rose buldak again for lunch. after lunch, i picked up oneshot again.
i don't think i mentioned before how much i like this game so far. i have had to look things up a few times already, but that's probably a me problem because i'm bad at puzzles and not a problem with the game itself. some things i really like are how the game uses things on your computer and how it does things like recognizes when you close and reopen the game and has niko react to it or talks to you directly through popups and the in-game computers. i thought it was so cool when it changed my wallpaper x3 and i love a game that references the player as an outside source from the character you play as, like deltarune and the player being the soul instead of kris, or even how undertale remembers your past playthroughs and changes things accordingly. i'd really love to find some other games that do this; as mentioned in one of my past posts i do believe off is a game that does this, i might have to buy it next time it's on sale.
i'd also like to play some more games that affect your computer or pull things from it, like kinitopet! i have seen entire gameplay of kinitopet though, both in streamer mode and the full version on youtube, so i'm not sure if it's actually worth playing myself since i already know everything that happens which will of course lower the effect of the horror. maybe i'll look it up or make a reddit post once i actually have internet again to see if i can find similar games >_<
anyway, while i was playing oneshot, the power went out. it was storming very, very hard and apparently there was a tornado that touched down not too far from our house, which is super scary. when my mom got home i went with her to pick up dinner and we drove past where the tornado went through, you could see its path through the corn field and the trees, and we even saw part of a roof up in a tree. for dinner we got wendy's and i got cheese fries and a cinabon pull-aparts with a diet orange cream soda to drink.
i planned to play some more oneshot after dinner, but it refused to open because it couldn't sync with steam cloud ;3; usually it gives you a popup saying it can't connect and gives you the option to open anyway, but it didn't do that for me last night, so i wasn't able to play. i ended up pulling my dusty switch out and finally picking up tomodachi life again! i didn't play for long because i got bored of it surprisingly quickly considering how long it had been since i last played, but my friend's mii finally confessed her feelings to cove holden only for my mii to interrupt. i really thought my mii was finally going to find love and it would actually be with one of my f/os... no. he chose her mii instead. my poor, poor miiself cannot catch a break when it comes to romance x3 on my qsmp island, cellbit has a crush on roier! which is pretty cute since they were a canon couple on the server, the only problem being that roier is currently sweethearts with pac, coincidentally after cellbit confessed to pac and roier interrupted... this poor guy is having about as much luck as my miiself is x3
i might play some more tomodachi life today and see if cellbit wants to confess to roier, i've only had a mii confess to another mii who was already in a relationship one other time and it didn't work out, so i'm wondering if it's possible for them to break up with their current sweetheart for someone else. i'd look it up, but alas...
i didn't do much else last night before going to bed, i did play a little bit of minecraft on my switch though when i couldn't sleep. i mainly play java minecraft, so i'm always so surprised when playing on switch just how long it takes to do Anything At All on console >_< even just turning and walking takes longer because of using a joystick, and don't get me started on doing things like crafting and building. it just feels so much slower which is why i'm very hesitant to ever be awake or in a cave when there are monsters i'll have to fight... i might end up switching into peaceful mode soon :p
today i woke up a little after noon. i'm home alone because my mom has gone back to work and my dad left for a work trip this morning. i'd usually be happy to be home alone, but currently it just makes the house feel even more silent and dark, and makes me feel even more bored out of my mind. not having internet is pretty annoying in itself, but everything offline i think "oh, i could do this" about requires light! i have no internet and no light and i literally can't do anything T^T even my computer i'm writing this on right now is getting a pretty low battery so it'll probably be dead by tonight or tomorrow, my phone is currently a brick because it's dead, and my switch battery i doubt will last much longer either ;3; so once i don't have any of those, i'm not sure what i'll do with myself since i don't have the light i need to do anything offline.
i'm getting hungry so i need to eat lunch soon, i'm going to have fruit because that's basically all i can have with no way of cooking >_< i'm very likely going to start my period today, i was supposed to start yesterday and i'm cramping pretty bad. i decided days ago that if i started yesterday or today that i wasn't going to go to church tonight, because the last thing i want to do on the first couple days of my period is work with little kids... but i might have to go either way just so i can charge my phone and be able to be online for at least a little while and eat some real food >_< if i do go, i think i'm going to take my phone charger with me so i can charge it during church so it'll hopefully be at 100% by the time we head home. i'm also hoping we'll actually stop and eat dinner somewhere instead of just picking it up and going home to eat in the dark again x3 i wish my laptop wasn't so big and bulky so i could easily take it to charge as well, but it's too big to carry into church and the thought of leaving it in the car for over an hour makes me anxious, so i think i'm just gonna have to live without it once it dies T^T
well, it's currently past 1:30pm and my battery is getting pretty low so i'm going to quit writing and go eat lunch, and after i'll probably play some tomodachi life and/or minecraft!
update, it's almost 5pm and the power has come back on! it's still raining, so it is possible it'll go back out, so i might go ahead and post this before i leave for church just in case >_< i'm very happy to have the power and internet back, you don't realize how much everything you do requires either the internet or light until you don't have either one... for lunch i had an apple and a peach, then i played a bit of tomodachi life and minecraft until around 3pm. i was incredibly bored after putting that down so i decided to finally try out the murdle book i bought months ago when we visited the book loft in columbus. the easy puzzles i've done so far are pretty easy and fun! i did that for around an hour and then i was about to sit down at my desk to figure out something else to do when my lamp came on and the rest of the house followed x3
my mom brought me home dinner, mac and cheese plus some waffle fries and hushpuppies from her own dinner, and a diet coke :3 it's 5:30pm now and i just finished eating, i'll probably have to get ready for church once i'm done writing this. i did start my period, but i decided i might as well go to church since i feel fine and i am starting to feel a little stir crazy being cooped up in the house for over a week. it started storming again though it's nowhere near as bad as it was yesterday, so hopefully the power doesn't go back out while we're gone T^T
something i forgot to mention about yesterday, waterparks announced their smaller shows tour and there's a show in ohio (specifically lakewood / cleveland)! i was sure i wasn't getting tickets, especially after the power went out, but i successfully got some last night when we went to pick up dinner, and i'm so glad i did because by the time the power came back on today the show had sold out. one of my closest friends lives in michigan and is coming to cleveland for the same show, so we'll be able to meet in person again! waterparks is how we became friends so it's so exciting that we'll be seeing them together <3 i currently do not have anyone to go with, hopefully my sister can go but if not i'll be asking everyone i know until i find someone who's free that night and willing to go with me >_<
i need to get ready for church now so i'm going to go ahead and post this! what i do after church tonight really depends on if we still have power when we get home... if we do, i'm going to play and maybe try to finish oneshot! if not, i'll probably play clangen or something until i get tired or my computer battery dies. hopefully we do have power though x3 goodnight in advance!
