Ctrl Alt WoW AprilPvd Episode 886 - Having Fun! on YouTube

AprilPvd in VR:

No Man’s Sky

Friday

Now am I cheating by watching these YouTube videos? I don’t know. It’s very handy and I’m learning a lot. Plus, it’s good to be prepared like I needed a living parole and I didn’t have to go and get it after I found this particular chest finally got to the point where I could open the anomaly and oh my goodness that meant that I could have my own vehicle back and it meant a lot because one of the things I kept running into was the mission where you have to fight the pirate ship and that one is really hard to do without all the extra hardware that you put into your ship, especially for maneuverability and shields. I almost died fighting one of the second time I went in and you know you need to go in and take out the pirates engines and it’s very hard to do if you cannot control your ship It’s interesting when you’re fighting a well equipped ship when you’re fighting with a well equipped ship versus fighting with the ship with a few of the accouterments and this class ship it’s so wonderful so I have a really good ship now and I have a really good multitool which also means that I’m getting more units when I scan and the only thing is I can scan. I can scan up pet now, but I almost called them pals. I can scan animals now, but I don’t have the blueprint to make the treat so I can’t cap or anything, but I did go to the quicksilver vendor and get one of one of the pets out of the one of the eggs out of the Quicksilver expedition thing. I am still using the ship that I brought over. I unboxed a bunch of those tech things that I could sell and yeah, it’s getting a little bit better a little bit easier but still it’s a lot of searching finding stuff listening to the messages searching finding stuff and I don’t know. I don’t know I want to do this, but I have to admit I’m not enjoying it at all, but I don’t want the expedition to be over and look back and say oh I wish I had done that to get X and Y but is that enough reason I’m not sure other thing is that I can I feel more comfortable walking in place and moving around in No Man’s Sky of course I’m in first person as opposed to third person like I am in power world. I don’t know if that makes a difference but yeah I’m getting there and I’m got to the anomaly. That was the exciting part.

I have to be honest. And I had to I actually upgraded this ship that I brought over so one of the things I’ve loved about expeditions is that you can make copies of the ship that you last had and I love that part because I’ve done things where rebuilt new ships just by bringing over a ship and then tearing it down and taking apart the parts and stuff, but and I would say this was a spoiler and I wish I had watched I don’t know did I want this spoiled at the end of the expedition everything is torn up that you are currently in and I was in that ship that I had brought over that I had upgraded with so many new things and I got it perfect so I ended up spending an enormous amount of time repairing that shit but I figured out a way to do it easily. I ended up going to a pirate station and just camping on the MPC that sells repair kits and so the things that I didn’t have handy like Cam and some stuff to prepare under the aquatic stuff and things that I just didn’t have available I just used a repair kit and that worked out fine. It was more just about spending a lot of time doing stuff that I had fun doing, but could’ve been doing other things. It was a great expedition. I’m glad I went back and finished it as they say in the nick of time because it’s now over and now there’s an update but I did it. I finished the expedition and I’m back on April Pvd. It will be interesting to go back to Sebastian and see what happens with that save but yeah. I didn’t bother to bring over any of the new two new ships because you can get them from the Quicksilver the nicest thing about them though is that they are a S class ship so that’s kind of nice but I’m finally done. I finished the expedition. I finished everything and I am happy. I’m happy that I got to do it and I’m happy that they did such a wonderful, wonderful museum peace but now let’s get back to power world can we? I’m reminded of that that scene in Hamilton I don’t know if you’ve seen Hamilton or not, but but there’s a scene about the whole thing with Hamilton and his his whole you know drama with his mistress and everything and then there’s a scene where James Madison or Thomas Jefferson one of them says can we get back to politics and that’s what I felt like at this moment can we get back to power and I did big time

Palworld 1.0

Monday

Was so happy to be back on PalWorld I got on April on the MacBook Pro and Epril on the gaming laptop and then Aprillian in VR. My main goal was to level up Aprillian so we could be ready to fight the next tower moon flower.

Tuesday

Spent Tuesday leveling up Aprillian

Wednesday

I logged into April Pvd because I was playing on the flatscreen while I was recording Ctrl Alt WoW Final Fantasy XIV but then I realized I really want to take out the moon flower tower.

Thursday

I decided to just go for it and I got some buff food for everybody and I distributed the Gillette that I had leveled up and I had April Pvd go into the get to the tower then Aprillian and then April on the Mac and we all met their after eating the buff food and it did not go well. I actually did it three times the first time we did pretty good actually first time I think I forgot to I didn’t press the button for April to join and so I didn’t have as many of the pals to fight now the way I do it. I think I’ve mentioned this before it’s so crazy. I make sure they all have several good pets that I have also leveled up at the statue and increase some of their whole bunch of their attributes and of course with April Pvd being 60 she she gets them up high. I don’t know if that makes a difference once you release them, but it works out really well cause you know I’ve done this in the other dungeon, but I didn’t. I wasn’t successful. I never got moonflower down. I even went back and made more powerful gear for April Pvd and I think I’m going to have to try something different and but it’s still challenging and I only wanna do the towers so I can level up my bases because the thing the next thing I need to do to level my basis is to make something that I can only make once I get the tower after moonflower but I’m having so am I having fun? I love the triple boxing the running back-and-forth to have everybody release their pets and we got so close. It was it was beautiful. Maybe the next time we go in it will we really work? I like to record from both angles, so I’m usually recording with you showing what a poorly in this thing and then what April Pvd is doing and it’s really amazing. I did die a couple Apple Pvd did die a couple of times in Aprillian was able to revive so you know maybe the next time I’ll get it done. It’s been a great week. I really love being back in in power world.
