Heatwave life

Posted On June 30, 2026

Hello hello. It has been very hot. We were blessed to have our air conditioner plug repaired right on time, by an electrician I can only assume was Jesus in disguise. I’ve probably rambled before about how heat in England sucks because all of our buildings are designed to hold heat for our unpleasant winters. This house was only built a couple of years ago, but it didn’t come with air conditioning because everybody here is in denial about needing it. Instead, it came with MVHR, to trap even more heat lol. So it was certainly a time, when we had 6 weather warnings in one day.

Also, I have an Amazon Storefront now. Not much to speak of on it yet except dog stuff, but eventually I’ll put setup/office stuff on it.

Anyway, I will talk a bit about my office progress, but first, games.

Red Dead Redemption

Ok, the last time I talked about this game was here. One day I will figure out how I made the “previous post” button disappear. Also, the gallery function I was using to include lots of smaller screenshots that can be enlarged, has stopped working. I’m not sure if that’s something I’ve broken or not, so I’ll just have to go back to columns of non-galleried screenshots.

I decided not to carry on with Red Dead Online until I finished the main game of RDR2. I was getting too confused about what I was doing where with who. I’m kind of invested in the main story now. But I fall off my horse a lot.

Some beautiful views in this game.
Vily kidnapped me. In fairness, she did take me where I needed to go. But I was looking at my map at the time and was alarmed.
I just wanna see the Americas so badly.
This church looked really nice at night, but I couldn’t go in, I guess it’s just a building shell lol.
My horse chasing after me while I was on top of a train. My horses put up with a lot from me.
This is Mildred’s janky horse. RIP. This incident inspired me to name my main horse Mildred, who up until this point was named “My Horse” because I couldn’t think of anything.
It took me three attempts to read this sign.
Look how fluffy his feet are. That’s why I named him Fluffy.
Saint Denis looks nice but everyone there gets SO mad if you move your horse in any way.
I like that the McClellan saddle has a gap in the middle, as it seems more realistic that it would adapt to my extremely different sizes of horse. However, I can’t help but wonder if I’m pinching my testicles in it every time I get on.
A mule that was painted like a zebra. It was a whole thing.

The Sims

Still going in The Sims 4. I think I’m not too far off from achieving my life aspiration. Will’s is more difficult, because his is chef-related but he’s somehow become a celebrity mixologist, so he’s making drinks all the time instead of cooking. I also tried to rebuild the house in a different orientation.

I got an award!
Of course the Christmas tree caught fire.
And then I was on fire.
Look at him <3
Will almost died in the pond and I had to plead for his life with the Grim Reaper. But they became buds so it’s OK.
Fashion.
I did rebuild the house, and I hope it makes a lot more sense. Still not sure about some stuff but I’m not an architect, just a house enthusiast.
Spot the guardian Freya.
Typically, it occurred to me to add a door out of the garage later. Makes more sense than carrying wet laundry through to the back of the house. Also, you gotta bring the dog in through a back door sometimes, ya feel.
Debugged-in a toilet and airhorn-shaped trophies because they look hilarious, not sure how you actually get them though. Sadly, the toilet bugged-out and disappeared.
Not sure what’s going on here.
I got another one! That was nice. I don’t know why there’s always a violin there.
Chaotic pond. Sadly had to delete the extra stuff because they prevented Sims from feeding the pond.
Someone’s always gotta be doing pushups.
Even The Sims had a heatwave.
What on earth are you doing, Will (he made me change his Sim’s hair also lol).
Will’s knees.
The tree presents bugged out, and now I can’t remove them after Christmas lol.
Will playing a sports game in his nautical office while the dog watches; true to life.

Fallout 76

I’ve been getting on OK with the current season, already past rank 71. I’m not really gelling with the whole “infestation” innovation. Just clumps of insanely bullet-spongey enemies that I try to avoid. And because I’m usually on a private server, the map ends up covered in the green infestation circles because I’m minding my business and not getting rid of any of them. I kind of hope that whole thing goes away. I’m just minding my business.

Rude, some of us need the screws.
Fabulous outfit.
Does he just bring a raider corpse with him everywhere?
Put him in a cowboy hat to make up for the fact I was neglecting RDO.
But then they released a new Nuka suit.
But then.
And then I put an organ in the little outbuilding thing at the back. Why not.

Dino Crisis 3

I did finish Dino Crisis 3 on stream. Unfortunately, I never found whatever it was that made me have fond feelings about this game. I must’ve been out of my gourd. Or maybe I had more tolerance for absolute nonsense. I think it needs a remake with mechanics more akin to modern Resident Evil, and with the plot being tied in to Dino Crisis 1 and 2 somehow. I also just want Dino Crisis remakes in general. Regina my beloved.

This was terrifying.
“I refuse to die in this dump!”
LOL.

It’s still hard to get good pictures of my office, because there’s a lot of stuff in the middle of the room that needs Tetrising around. Is Tetrising a word? Anyway, the biggest of those things is undoubtedly my husband’s pool table, which somehow needs to get from my office to his office. But the edges of the room are ok lol. Will also managed to get various splodges on the ceiling, floor, and skirting boards lol. Some of them we managed to clean off, but it seems like we might eventually have to go over them with white paint, if we can find out which paint the developers used. But it’s not urgent, I’m not that fussed about it, and if someone visits and absolutely squints at all my smudges, I’m gonna be like, what the hell is wrong with you.

So it’s definitely not a perfectly decorated room because, well, we did it. We will definitely hire decorators when it comes to painting any other rooms of this house or painting any other house. My bookcases are up, the room was barely big enough to assemble them. But a lot of memorabilia and books that I haven’t seen for years, is finally up on shelves with the help of museum gel. I had to swap around the shelves I originally intended for Tomb Raider and Resident Evil stuff, because one of my Laras couldn’t fit (we put the shelves where the instructions told us, but they apparently aren’t equally-spaced). The top shelf is mixed stuff from different game and film franchises, and it’s a bit chaotic.

A peek at the multifaith altar.
I needed a second shelf, and I’m not sure how I ever thought I wouldn’t.
I can spy from my window.
It has been a whole year since my surgery!
Released some native ladybirds into the garden because we do be having aphids.
Apparently my palms are so red because hormones. Unfortunate.
It was required.
You know you’re in trouble when the hallway got this hot.
Apologies for the mess but we had to sleep downstairs for a few nights. Had to do that in past houses in the summer, but not this one until now. Another joy of a ranch house would be a bedroom on the same floor that hasn’t been accumulating all the heat of the day in it.
Behold my son, he is so beautiful.
A very clean break in the Snickers.
The physical copy.

Stay spooky and also out of the heat!
