See the poster on the wall? At the bottom right is the text “Arcadia / Stark” (the two divided worlds in The Longest Journey).
Also one of the servers it looks like is called Arcadia (but no Stark).
Tag: video games
I mostly play on the Switch (handheld gaming is really huge to me) and Windows PC. Sometimes I’ll download games for my phone, but I like playing on my Switch more.
First video game was probably Super Mario 64.
First console owned was the Gameboy Pocket.
Favorite genre can range from shooters to RTS. I don’t really play games on mobile devices, but I like to download point-and-click games for my phone when they are free for a short period of time.

Computer updates
That growling/grinding I kept hearing? It was the right cooling fan. I noticed that when checking the fan speed, the right one was considerably slower than the left one, when the noise was going on (left: around 3000rpm, right: 900rpm). Mr. Giantpaper thought that the fan motor was dying, but just in case it wasn’t, he decided to apply some machine oil just in case.
It worked. 😮 I guess it took a while for the oil to lubricate the entire thing, because after turning it on after putting it back together, we heard a constant low hum from the right fan (sounded like r-r-r-r-r-r, like it kept hitting something). It went away after about an hour. Now I can’t hear the fans period. :O The laptop also stays a bit cooler now. It’s still a little warm, but not cook-eggs-with-this hot like it used to be.

“Portal 2’s space core is headed to space, courtesy of anonymous NASA engineer”
Other than the fact that it looks more like Wheatley than the space core, this makes me happy inside. :3

Pile of MMOs: Champions Online and The Secret World
I created another character in Champions Online, since my main one is trapped in a nightmare cave with Mr. Giantpaper’s character, fighting nightmare demons (and at the point we are at now, entering an actual nightmare).
I had another character, an ice/snow fairy, buuut flying I found out always seems really slow to me, although I like the wing flapping animations (if you put wings on your character). I deleted the fairy, since F2P players can have up to two slots (before paying for additional ones) and created an archer. I had Hawkeye in mind, but decided to make the new one more like an ordinary civilian with superpowers (super acrobatic skills and Improbable Aiming Skills), since my main character is a super psychic ninja-type.
