I can't decide if I would prefer to one day actually play Platform Masters/Baricanna or have them forever remain an ideal, endlessly being honed, eternally advancing towards whatever Uli deems to be perfection.

I haven't finished watching it yet but showing Moist who supports child transitioning as he said "some people are living completely normal and functional lives" made me burst out laugh
Edit: Finished it. I am not an expert on Ullilila so I thought the vid is entertaining and informative

if he never finishes it then it can never be ported into TempleOS, thus preventing Kali Yuga

His mom died.
I hope he's okay, this is awful.

He is probably far from okay, but I hope he recovers as best he can.

I know he's not okay, I meant I hope he's coping well. Losing a parent is awful, and he had just put out a graph plot for his financial health and happiness less than a week ago. His happiness had just started going back up...

Some good news, some bad news, and some neutral news. Which should I start with first?
I guess, let's start with the good news. First and foremost, I successfully made it to Florida and checked in at the hotel. Strangely, I don't actually have to pay the entire lump sum of about 3400ish for the 63 days I've set for being here. It's done weekly, instead (had I known that, I'd have gotten more days to be extra certain). At least the plus side to being weekly is that I wouldn't have to charge my card quite as much all at once and as a way to boost my credit score (a must for buying a house at the best rates I can get), I can also just pay the balance before the end of the billing cycle.
The router I got allows me to use my desktop for online access via ethernet, so I'm good there (otherwise, I wouldn't be on Facebook to post this).
The transfer to Home Depot store 6361 has completed successfully. I transferred into online fulfillment, which was the second most wanted role I had (ASDS was highest). I get to keep my full time status as well. I checked in with work the day before so I had a sense of the schedule and what not, then I worked a full shift yesterday, picking up on a few things.
I got quite a bit of the level design progress done for Marren Cave and less so with Skylus Temple.
Let's go with the neutral news next. I don't yet know if I get to keep the pay rate I had before, or if it'll be adjusted in any way. Indications state that I will, but it's not yet confirmed. (Seeing my schedule with 40 hours a week hints strongly to having full time status and I was told that I was to be full time.) I will have to either ask and see or wait at least 3 weeks for a pay period to go through so I can get pay stubs.
It took quite a while, but I can definitely feel a significant increase in my peace of mind right now, just as I was predicting. However, it's not quite as good as I had hoped due to unforeseen problems, but it's definitely a significant improvement. It's a +3 on that 0 to 10 happiness scale. Eliminate the last of the hurdles and I should see the net +6 that I had before.
I actually checked in at the hotel on Aug 30, but it took all the way until now (Sep 2) to even get online much, since all my online activity is with my desktop. I've had troubles finding a lot of the cables and what cable went where because I didn't bother labeling them, so that's become a big priority for when I do move yet again. Things I've had for quite a while already have labels, and has helped some. A few things are obvious like mouse and keyboard. I do need to build a sort of modular computer desk though that would be easy to put together and take apart. I highly doubt the hotel would allow me to run a circular saw in the room so I'll have to wait until I can buy that house first before I can get into that. A handsaw is just too tedious to use.
As for the bad news... gulp.... The worst of it is that being in a hotel effectively prevents me from doing anything that requires an address. Basically, I can't receive any of my mail at all because I can't get a PO box because an address that is not the hotel is required. I'm also completely unable to apply for a membership at Costco because the hotel address is not acceptable. This means having to depend strictly on local stuff for pretty much anything. I don't know if pizza delivery is possible though. The only way I can fix this is to buy a house, which is on my list of fun things to do.
More bad news is that I have almost 50 total sores now, thanks to bug bites. Biting flies while visiting Ochlockonee are the primary culprit. With so many sores from bug bites, I'm delaying going swimming for a fair while.
As for what I did:
Aug 15: drive to the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. I left nearly 3 hours later than intended as [cue Tetris music] I was struggling to find space to put stuff while also being able to see all around the car for driving safety reasons. Strangely, my GPS took me on Highway 2 instead of the shorter and faster 52....
Aug 16: the Renaissance Festival and showing off Baricanna from my laptop. This was one of the key highlights of my journey. I also checked out Minnesota's largest candy store. I didn't get anything though as it was cash only and a lot higher price for stuff compared to what Walmart has, but it was neat getting to see some of the stuff there. I also saw a few PS5 games that I have some interest in, but don't have the system (it's on my wish list, which must support disks - buying the house is much more important). Elden Ring was the more interesting of the 2 games I saw. Armored Core is the other one I saw, which has some of my interest, but not as strong.
Aug 17: I checked out the Minnesota Science Museum and Como Zoo. Toward the end, I went for a brief swim in the Mississippi River, something I've wanted to do for many years but couldn't find a way to do so.
Aug 18-21: camping at Weko Beach Park in Bridgman, Michigan. This camping situation was fairly poor due solely to the weather. Lake Michigan was much too rough for any meaningful swimming, and it was rough for all 3 days I was there. The first night was nothing but rain the entire night. A small amount of water got in the tent and it made sleeping a bit more difficult, but creative thinking resolved that. The culprit: the rainfly I have doesn't quite fit the tent in full and the tent needs to be resealed (for waterproofing). I had a tarp I should've used, but I was in a race against the clock as the rain was arriving fast, leaving me little time to put my tent up. Overall, it was okay, but could've been much better had it not been for such bad weather and huge, whitecapping waves. The worst part about this campground is no proper toilets. I can't handle portapotties well as I gag like crazy, which, once, caused me to piddle on the wall, trying to stop so I can get out to breathe.
Aug 21: drive to the Chattanooga, Tennessee area. This was a particularly rough drive due to getting into not one, not two, not three, but four traffic jams!
Aug 22: Lost Sea, a lake in a cave underground. "Watch out for this low hanging rock" was a favorite silly but important remark the tour guide made. I remember making a duck reference to ducking, having to go a farm for it, since only an actual duck is going to be a professional at being a duck. An attempt at a swamp swim followed, but got nowhere because nothing suitable could be found due to recent weather events. At the end, I helped set up a projector, utilizing my construction know how and Home Depot experience. "Studs are usually spaced '16-center'" is the key. One spot was giving the stud finder a bunch of grief so an adjacent stud was found. Once set up, and more troubleshooting, I was able to show off Baricanna on the projector, which was very neat. I actually looked at the projector screen instead of my laptop's screen. Gotta love hand-eye coordination!
Aug 23: The first big thing was the North Chickamagua Blue Hole. I was anticipating that it was going to be very strongly blue and deep, but it wasn't. It was only maybe 15 to 20 feet deep at the most and was more green than blue. It wasn't deep or clear enough so I wouldn't really count it as a blue hole. I checked out Lookout Mountain right after that, giving some really nice scenic sights. Remember that quote of mine from 1997? "High elevation is the best elevation. The higher, the better the view!" Toward the end, I went swimming in the Tennessee River while the Michael Jackson Tribute was going on in the evening. That was my single best swimming case out of my entire trip!
Aug 24: The first thing for this day was my first experience with white water rafting, at some river that I forgot the name of (it starts with a W and is about 7 letters long). It was considered class 1 and 2 rapids, which are actually gentle and easy enough to handle. My former kayaking experience helped a lot and I kept a watch on the others during this. The Ocoee Blue Hole was attempted, but failed due to not knowing that the currents were going to be too rough for it due to the dam releasing water only on the weekends instead of during the weekdays. Harrison Bay ended the day, which was very poor quality (Lake Michigan was better).
Aug 25-30: camping at Ochlockonee River State Park. My original plan was to leave there on the 27th and go to Alexander Springs but I was being forced an extra day that I didn't want so I dumped all of the days into this one area. It wasn't until I was in Tennessee that I thought of potentially using Juniper Springs instead, but it was too late to change anything by then. At first, things were good, even going as far as exploring Tom's Island east of the campground. Getting to Tom's Island was easy, due to the currents, but getting back was trickier. I had to utilize known patterns with rivers to get back. Plus, I used swim fins for speed and safety purposes, since they boost my swimming speed by 2.5x (I'm fastest on my back where I push close to maybe 3 to 4 mph when the current is about 3/4 to 1 mph;; without the swim fins, I may only get about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 mph instead where I'm fastest on my chest). I quickly discovered that the river was affected by the tides. I also found the area where I went to the first time back in 2016 when I couldn't quite swim yet, where I watched that friend I was with drifting to the left due to being carried by the current. By about August 28, I was starting to get bored of the area. I kind of ran out of things to do so I ended up spending more time working on Baricanna's levels.
I took several photos, but I have yet to get at processing them.
