AprilPvd in VR:
No Man’s Sky
Still note expedition or update to No Man’s Sky! Someone in one of the Facebook groups for No Man’s Sky was looking for other people who play it in VR and I had to admit that I hadn’t played in a while. But I promised him that if there’s an update on an expedition, I would definitely hook up with him.a as
Palworld 1.0
Tuesday
The thing I like about playing video games as it does make you think so your brain is getting a workout. I realized that, although I had gotten some Quartz and it did allow me to upgrade my base I would be needing more. Aprillian was the one to find it but it was in an area that was way out of her league. One of the reasons I was interested in finding some more was that I had leveled up my base to 15 which allow me to get another base. I had so much success with resource mining with my ore base that I was excited to try it with the courts. At first Aprillian couldn’t find it where she thought she had found it before. It turned out that the flight place that she had gotten to and found it hadn’t respawned yet. So I have too much trying she managed to climb up to the top of a hill and found a few nodes together but she was unable to place a pal box. It turns out that you have to change the settings to allow other guild members to place them. So I had to log into April Pvd on the flat screen and give Aprillian the privilege. This is when dual boxing really comes in handy. After placing the pal box, I swapped the two characters because I also wanted a guild box and a few other things at that base. What’s nice is even though April Pvd had none of the flight things in that area. She could still get to the base. I ended up spending some time building the Guild box which she got access to because she was level 41. The Guild box allows access to the materials from all basis where there is one. It’s kind of like the resource building on Medieval Dynasty. It did take some work because it needs 20 polymer which needs the high-quality pal oil. But fortunately, I had someone in the ranch who was dropping them like crazy. And then I needed the civilization things but again I’ve got a bunch of those from the expedition. After putting down the beds and doing some more building and putting in the feed box, I created an Alpha wave generator so that the pets there wouldn’t get stressed out. The hardest thing was remembering how many things to carry with me so that I could build it back there since all of my stuff was on my main base. But I figured it’s something out. If I built it and then destroyed it, all the mats end up back in my inventory and then I can teleport to the base where I want the building and make it there so it’s a lot easier than going through all my chests and trying to figure out where everything is. I also captured some new pounds and I made medicine shells that I’m gonna try stocking with medicine to keep the pals happy.

Wednesday
Wednesday I logged onto Aprillian and I got a lot of things done with her. She ran some dungeons. She got a little bit more exploration. You know the interesting thing about the way I’m playing is that a brilliant can go some places that April Pvd can go can’t go and vice versa so it’s kind of like they balance each other out now April and was at level 36 at the beginning of the day and she got almost to 37 but not quite, she was capturing animals. She was also running an expedition when she I remembered, and she was making sure that she was visiting the three basis you know my main base is where I cook and then I have to make sure the other two bases have food. She also went out to one area that had a lot of burning pets a fire pets and eggs so she got a bunch of eggs to my one of my biggest concern is that I need the integrated and Gets and in order to make them I need a lot of Cole so she went into a couple of dungeons to get Cole I don’t know why that’s where they have to get them. I really would love to find a place that had Cole that she could that we could make a base on top of. She had a lot of good experiences, capturing pets and really enjoying this game now I did something different with my video recording so if you are watching on the YouTube channel, well even if you look at the screenshot, I now have a recording from a different way the way that I was recording and streaming before was that I was using the casting feature of the Meta quest to cast what I’m seeing in my headset onto a webpage and then I had my system set up so that I record that webpage along with the video of me with my headset on to show that I’m in BR, but the problem was that a lot of times the quality of that video from my headset just wasn’t wasn’t good. I don’t know what the problem was whether it’s the Meta quest whether it was my gaming laptop or a combination of both, but it was very frustrating to be able to see this beautiful video that I’m capturing and then look at it afterwards and see this blurry crummy screen. It’s just been the way that I’ve been doing it especially with No Man’s Sky with No Man’s Sky I could not capture the video straight from the computer because it had these. It was two little ovals because of the it streamed the VR portion. But.PalWorld it’s just a regular flatscreen game that I am using the UEVR injector to make it VR. The video I’m seeing on my gaming PC screen is absolutely gorgeous the video I’m seeing inside my Meta quest headset is absolutely gorgeous. It’s just somewhere in between it. Got mixed up a messed up when I’m recording so it occurred to me that why don’t I just record on my gaming PC and not do the casting part with the Meta quest headset that has been working out great if you’re looking at the videos, are you looking at the screenshot? The video now is crisp and I’m very happy with that for the rest of this rest of Wednesday. I just ran around with a brilliant and I got a turned in the quest for the 90 pets that I got and I turned in a bunch of other quest and then I would’ve got Cole and I’m having the best time. Wednesday was a really good day.
Thursday
Of course I started Thursday with my workout, which is like an hour and 1:20 hours of working out in VR one of the programs I listen to on my iPad I watch on my iPad is Twit. I’ve been following Leo Laporte for 25 years now or even longer 25 years cause it probably started in the early 2000 and he has been informative for me for Apple information computer information but lately he’s been on an AI kick which I’m not an AI person at all. Sarah Connors warned me so you know how that is One of the things that he and I also disagree on his VR he has made negative comments about Apple Vision Pro which of course I can understand that was $3500 if you could afford and you probably really enjoyed it but it’s nothing like the Meta quest, and he has often ridicule people for not for the fact that you could wear something on your face and I have been wearing something on my face since 2017 and it has changed my life you know it’s ironic funny sad there’s something that I do every day for anywhere from 4 to 8 hours a day that brings me enjoyment and makes my life much better is something that he doesn’t understand One the reason why I do these videos and I share some of these videos on my Facebook and my Instagram and Threads account is because I want people to know what it’s like to be in VR of course now I did spend some time playing power and I wanna give a spoiler shout out because I am gonna be showing some of the map, I don’t know I don’t know how empower what could be done differently or if it really makes that much of a difference but I’ve gotten my base up to level 16 and and I’ve gotten April Pvd up to level 42 actually by the end of the day she got up to 43 which means that she opens up some more things that she can make one of the things that she can now make is this really nice bow that’s really powerful, but the arrows are very expensive so I spent the day running around my base making different things I love the fact that you can assign your pals to do stuff and make stuff. I also am doing a lot of I’m almost making too much or on my resource base that has or and I’m getting a lot of quartz on my resource base that has courts. I was moving some of my pals around to make different foods because my main base is making food for my other two other bases, but I really had a good time running April Pvd around and then one of the things I realize was that I had over 600 coins and it’s it’s a lot of discovery in power world, and one of things that I realized that you could do with the Dog coins is open up your accessory sockets on your inventory so that you can wear multiple necklaces or rings that will enhance your stats so she went over and she got she went over to the church and she used some of the Dog coins to expand her. She had already done one and she expanded it to do two to do another section and she then invited April I’m pulling over and I’m brilliant. I got the other 300 coins and she was able to upgrade hers and I’m really loving the system. I’m learning about how I can increase my base better and I’m making more complicated things and yeah I’m having a blast and I’m loving the new system I have with making a using the computer my gaming computer to record the video. This game is so beautiful.
Friday
I’ve already mentioned that there is so much to this game and that I have found different things that I wanna focus on and sometimes I get sidetracked. One of the biggest things I guess would be to level and fight the big boss, but what I’m trying to do right now is find all of the just explore. I like a lot exploring getting to the flight pants and also finding the resources I need now one of the main resources I really really need is coal and I decided today to start off with looking for coal and hole after flying around on April Pvd and like I said before I put Pvd‘s going in one direction Aprillian is in another direction. I managed to find some coal but here was my dilemma. I needed to start a resource base and I needed to take down my other resource space the resource space that I made my first very first one was for or and that was very successful. In fact I had way more than I needed at the moment and so I decided that I was gonna dismantle that one and then move to this new base it became very complicated because one of the things I wanted to do was take all the stuff I had made at the or base and just move it to the new base but first of all that’s way a lot and second of all, I would have to destroy the war base first before I could build the base where the coal was. It took some maneuvering. It took a lot of back-and-forth and eventually I did managed to do it and it was so exciting to do it. It meant that I had to like I said, destroy the first day of power box and then fly back well. First of all when I found the coal I didn’t have a flightpath near it so I had to find a flight pass near it, and then once I found the flightpath near it, had to make sure I could get back to it. One of the things I have to remind myself to do is to mark the names of the flightpaths that I find that are near stuff and there’s a lot of flight pass and it’s very hard. The only good thing about it is that you can travel fairly quickly. It doesn’t take a long long. There’s not a long loading screen so that part is nice and so I had to first I had to take apart the old base and then I had to make sure that I had all the stuff on the new base to at least make the guild chest know if I could do that that would be 100% of the Battle because then I would have resources in the guilt chest that I could use and I managed to do it and I’m I got back-and-forth and back-and-forth. I love that I have my night wing because one thing about the night wing is that you can ride it even when you’re over weight and so that was really handy and so now I have a different base that produces cold and I learned one more thing is that you can if you make the guilt chest the only chest there it will put the coal order to put the resources into the guild chest
Saturday
Alternated between trying to get the parts to make more food day and exploring and getting more pets. I think it’s just the right blend..
Sunday
April Pvd open up glass building material, which is awesome. I worked on with stone I already have and it looks nice. I finally got carrots and onion seeds so I was able to start making both of those which opened up some food for defense.
Monday
My plan for today is to try to beat the third tower. I started with leveling Aprillian and I got her to 41. I also got her a really strong water pet and caught multiples of them and then compress them. I also made a really high-end helm and suit for both her and April Pvd. I had Aprillian do the oil rig and she leveled up nicely.
Tuesday
I did some research and somebody said an automatic weapon is the best so I had April Pvd learn how to make an automatic weapon and then she got a water pet to level up. I also had to go out and open chest because she needed wool to make the suit and some other stuff and she’s running out of money, so April Pvd did the oil rig as well. It was so much fun. I had the best day.
Then I actually took the third tower down and I was riding a Palasaurus! It was great. It was fun then I did some exploring and I upgraded some stuff and then I played with Grand Nagus for a little bit. Then I went back to the server where I was playing with the women from Facebook just to work on that a little bit and then I went back to my server and had fun on that and I realize that I’m two levels away from something that’s gonna allow me to see everything that’s in my chest on my base so I am pushing to get to 49 on April. Have I mentioned how much I love this game?
