How to go from a stuffed nose to a waterfall overnight! 🤧

Oh joy is me. :P

I've got an autoscript running in Bitburner to automatically do a crime every 3 seconds (homicide in this case, I'm so bad...). With a bit of luck (or just a long wait) I can have -54000 (yes, minus fifty-four thousand) karma in 15 hours so that I can form a gang in BitNode 4.1 and actually start earning money.

Aaaaand.... that is actually the power of BitNode 4.1, it introduces access to automating a few things including criminal activities. And I'll have access to this in other BitNodes too if I manage to break BitNode 4.1.

Just to wait 15 hours now, heh. ;)

Fun bit of trivia.. the Rouble emoticon on Steam is worth more than its real-life counterpart and is still rising in value.

Oh wow... Those corps in Bitburner do indeed take a while to set up, fund, and expand. But once you get it going and invest heavily in advertising... ooh lala, it's basically infinite money! It's ridiculous how much influence ads have here.

But while I'm swimming in money (Scrooge McDuck would be proud), I can mop up some achievements that require a lot of funds. :) I hope I can beat this BitNode this evening, then I can move on to the next one, it's been long enough in this one.

Huh, just saw there's another Syberia game coming, Syberia: The World Before. Looks like it'll have the same playstyle as Syberia 3, which I found terrible to navigate in.

Wish they'd do more like 1&2, a proper point and click adventure game. Once a series goes 3D, it usually goes to shit. :/

Graphics look awfully nice, though. But I wouldn't expect any less from the Syberia series anyway.

Damn, that was a close call. Kept messing up with the order of all those things.

Kinda struggling with the introduction of the corporations in BitNode 3.1 in Bitburner, it's very slow going and actually kind of boring. You don't even get to write scripts for it, not at the start anyway.

I guess it might be fine if it is something as an extra in other BitNodes, but BitNode 3 is very focused on corps, so I'll just have to try to wade through 3.1 and then move on to other BitNodes with more interesting mechanics.

Might take a few days before I can break BitNode 3.1 though...

Meh, I notice that the Teams versions of Excel, OneNote, etc, are pretty much inferior to the fullblown desktop counterparts...

Damn, Microsoft's sites really suck, lots of access denied or error page not found. I was trying to move my Mojang accounts to my Microsoft accounts, finally managed to get that done after over an hour of fuckery.

I wonder if millions of Minecraft players are busy doing this right now, seeing as there's just a few days left before the move deadline.. :P

Neat, I managed to beat BitNode 1.1, some sort of super-ascension idle game mechanic in Bitburner. I've chosen 2.1 as the next BitNode so I can form gangs that I can use in other BitNodes when I finally manage to destroy 2.1 too.

I foresee that I'll play this idle game for a bit longer than expected, and I need to brush up my Javascript knowledge so that I can make better scripts to hack those servers with. :)

Yup, I definitely like Nerdle more. ;)
Been solving it reasonably consistently in about 3 turns so far.

Turns out one of my potted plants is harboring those fruit flies inside/around its bulb for some reason. I've kindly but very determinedly put the plant outdoors now. :P

The amount of fruit flies encounters definitely decreased!

Quite exhausted now. Tore down the busted back fence together with dad. Disassembled it completely and placed the planks and poles neatly in my garden, a lot can be reused.

In the near future I'll have to trim some trees that I can access now from behind. They clearly got used to the fence since a few branches are now drooping badly without that support, heh.

Looted an Amulet of Yendor in Rogue's Tale.. unlike with other roguelikes, here it's just a decorative item. Meh, sell-trash. ;)

Goddamnit, I have got fruit flies EVERYWHERE...

Except for the freaking kitchen where the food actually is!

Today was the first nice weather in a long while. Made use of this moment to sweep my garden, there sure were a shitton of dead leaves and twigs scattered around.

Also used the broken handle of my old shovel to prop up the busted fence with so that the fence isn't that horribly tilted anymore. Let's see how long that construction'll hold, heh.

There was a hostage situation at the Apple Store in Amsterdam yesterday night. I read the news article and the videos of the aftermath. Gods, that was impressive. All those silly American movies are nothing compared to this, jeez.
