    July 31: Back on the VS buzz... again!

    I didn't go anywhere other than dog walks, so I didnt get any photos of exciting adventures or tasty treats. It was a very computer-y day!

    I think I finally got the alerts (mostly) sorted out, for stream stuff! Not sure if I did it the right way, but it seems to have worked except for some wierd hiccups with fonts! Assuming all works as intended, you're sparkly Fourthwall greetings and all the point redemptions should be good to go.

    I was messing about at the computer around lunch time and got the poop scared outta me by the dogs going bonkers... and then I remembered being told that there's a weekly tornado siren test that happens Wednesday's at noon. The siren itself wasn't particularly loud, but the dogs were. Good to know how they react for future reference, I guess :D

    I managed to remember that I needed to feed myself before stream (go me!) so I didn't have a hungry when I started. I did do an oops though, and have a zero-sugar soda. I forgot that some artificial sweetners cause very.. intense digestive issues. I was reminded of this just after I started stream, so that was fun! I won't do that again lol

    Stream itself was fun! It's been so nice catching up with everyone, and having the company. A large part of stream was me dithering about which mods to install for the server refresh. I got hung up on a mod that adds villages to the map, but eventually (thanks to gentle chat nudges) decided that I didnt want it. I wasn't immediately taken, the way I was with some others, so I should have used that as an indicator. I then spent an hour or so flailing about unsure if I should setup the server while live. I'm really self concious and constantly worried that I'll be "boring" if I do something not full of fun and excitement. A silly concern since you're all still here after this many years lol.

    We did get the server up and running, though there's a few hiccups to figure out. Im excited to get started on it. I think the beginning stages are my favourite!

    Stream is uncertain for Friday. I have tentative plans to meet up with a friend, but it depends on a few things. If the plans fall through, then we'll be back with some more Vintage Story!
