Wednesday




Wednesday I got a bug in my bonnet. They say well first let me explain something. There are multiple levels to leveling in Powell world the first level, of course is getting your character up and your character get strong and every time you hit a level you get points that you can use to enhance your your stat. I’m just have to pick one of course then is leveling up your pals, which is a whole different thing if you get a pile in an area where it’s in your 30s it’s gonna start out in your 30s if you hatch an egg from a pal, it’s going to start out at level one but once you put it in your group, the leveling is crazy but as your level you also get access to technology and I April Pvd was 47 on Wednesday and I was looking through the technology that she has access to in her coming levels and there was something called Item Retrieval Machine - A device that lets you freely access items from all chests in the base.

Pal Metal Ingot 100

Paldium Fragment 30

Bio Battery 4


And it was learnable at level 49. I became obsessed with this item because if it meant that I could get stuff out of chess without having to run to each chess that I have it would be great. Of course the meal solution is that I need to do a better organization of my chest system, but you know you’re getting in the game you wanna do things and then you want to get going and so you just throw down chest here and there I mean, I have chess all over my base and so the idea of having one place I could go to Look was just wonderful so I went crazy doing how to do two things the first thing was I had to get to level 49 so I went out and went exploring. I would capturing pets if you capture five of the same pals you get an added bonus. I went into dungeons and not that, but I had to come back and make sure my pals were making the materials that I needed and by the end of the day I turned 49 and I had the materials and I made the item retrieval thing and it was great and I felt really good about that. It’s a small thing but it’s something you know there’s little things you can look out for and try to do and have fun I also got my base up to level 20 and I felt really good at the end of the day. I got a lot of stuff done and I just I’m having fun and that’s the whole reason for playing the game.



Thursday 



Went salvaging on a Surfent and fishing pole! Explored several areas 




Friday 



Well, there is a reason why I originally named the show Ctrl Alt WoW and why it is still called Ctrl Alt WoW April Pvd because I have a fascination with making alt now on my Steam account. I have four and Powell is one of those games that you can play with family with people in your group so even though I only have two copies ain’t any of my four characters or accounts can play the game well I have a I have four and I hadn’t been playing with them. I’ve only been playing with Apple Pvd and a brilliant so I decided to bring in April when I haven’t played in a long time and she was level 10 she was in the guild so that made it easier and I started leveling her up and I got her to the point where she could take down the first tower and I thought it would be fun to go in with my level 51 character and multi box and it worked out really well. I was Millie impressed with how well I did it. I of course you know when a multi boxing I take my character that’s on that I login on the flatscreen on the laptop and I put her over in a corner after releasing one of her pets and then usually Apple Pvd because she’s always my most powerful one is the one in the lead and I know I’ve gotten the automatic weapon that I got for the third tower boss and it just works so well so I was able to very easily take down this Zoe the first tower and April didn’t even get injured. I just went in and and that worked out really nice and it feels kind of cool to be able to take down a boss at my level even if it’s a lower level boss, it just feels kind of neat to be able to go in and just go through it. Of course you know this was really easy cause she was level 51 and I think this is a level 16 boss I’m not mistaken so that was a lot of fun and like I said April’s was over in the corner, but her pets were fighting and April Pvd had her pets doing most of the damage and then I spent the rest of Friday getting April ready for the next tower and I gave her a night wing and one of the things I’m doing is I’m trying to consolidate my technology points and one of the reasons why I did bring in another character is because she will be able to use her technology point when I need them. I saw a couple of YouTube videos where people say they end up running out of technology points right now April Pvd has some things she can make an a brilliant has some things that she can make and I don’t try to make any crossovers between The 2 and my thoughts for April is to power level her with the towers and it’ll be interesting because right now you know I can do it with April Pvd being so OP so it’s kind of fun and it reminds me again of things I was doing in World of Warcraft

Saturday



Because I can’t help myself I’ve been logged in on Saturday with Sebastian and I ran him around and had him do some stuff now thing about bringing somebody else in is that I’m still running my server on my PC and so once they’re in a guild they can do things like make sure that I’m that my all my pals at each base is fed and he could go out and get resources cause I kept running out of those palladium pieces that I need it for everything. I also had him run some dungeons by himself because by the time he got to be 13 he was good and then finally I swapped out and put Sebastian on the flatscreen in April Pvd in VR and we ran the first tower together, I realize that they can still run the tower, even if they haven’t done the precursor quest line so it’s a good way of power leveling in fact I’m thinking about for April and Sebastian just leveling them through the towers and see what happens you know I do the normal thing I put them over in a corner. I do let one of their pets out because they can at least do some damage and distract the boss from hitting the lower pack. I mean the lower character and of course April Pvd does all the work and it works out really well and it’s a lot of fun so that’s what I’ve been doing with Sebastian and I also ran around a little bit with April Pvd to get some more stuff one of the things I’m trying to do is going to that special dungeon and get some more of those hollow bars and it’s where I can find that Dozzy character that will give me the clouds that I need to level up the electricity so it’s this game has so many layers to it and I keep saying that, but it is a lot of fun and I really like running my lower level characters through these events and now that I figured out a way to do it without them dying it’s so much better. I especially enjoy using the assault rifle. In fact the assault rifle is almost overpowered, but it works out well and I just like power level. It’s just one of the best things ever.


Sunday


I ended up playing with Grand Nagus and Big G on our paid server because I know I’ve talked about this before I didn’t wanna bring open the port on my computer and it turned out really well. Big G managed to get in even though I think he was on flatscreen I think he wanted to do VR. we were able to get voice chat to work so that we could talk to each other while we were playing in proximity. I don’t know if you could hear Big G but he was there as well and it was a lot of fun. He later on saying that we handbag him, but we gave him a bunch of stuff. We made a bunch of things and we basically helped him get a good start and it was just a really good fun playing with the other people again it was reminiscent of our World of Warcraft days at one point we even went into a dungeon to play and that was a lot of fun because big G got to level up and I can’t wait till we can do it again.

Monday 



Every Monday, Thursday, and Saturday I do my workout. So this Monday I did do my workout, of course. I’m back to wearing my weighted vest and my wrist weights which I had stopped when I was sick, even though I still did my workouts.

I

n Palworld on Monday, I worked on my third base which I had moved to the island so that I could get some of that oil because I found a place that had four of those oil producing spots, but this meant that I had to build a bigger electrical creating mechanism because it took a lot of electricity and I also upgraded. I’ve been working really hard with the power workshop trying to upgrade all of my different skills. I’ve been focusing on kindling and watering and planting. I also really wanted to update my electricity, but I need something from that fluffy dozy or something and those are hard to find, but I did manage to finally get that one my base up and get the oil thing pumping, and that was very satisfying.

Palworld and Terraria feature an official crossover event highlighted by the Palworld v0.6.0 Tides of Terraria Update and content integrated into Terraria's version 1.4.5

Then I found this dungeon that is apparently a crossover between some game called terraria and it has a lot of musical background that you can’t turn off. I have my music turned off in the game, but there’s all these different little things that you can capture but that one fluffy pet that I need to get those clouds for the electricity they can be found in here so I went back in to try to farm those and I actually got a couple and and then found my way back out and with my machine gun my assault rifle it’s just really quick to go through. I also picked up some more schematics because there’s a I guess the cosmetics from terraria are available in the dungeon so I picked up a lot of cosmetics and it was there was a lot of fun. want to go back to try to get some more of them those things I need for the electricity and yeah it’s a very interesting dungeon and I love the fact that they did this crossover and it’s a level 45 dungeon so it was easy for me to go in with April Pvd.

Tuesday


A couple of things happened on Tuesday. The first one was that I found this video and I put a link in the show note to controllot wound.com on YouTube about how to get Second I hope I’m saying her name right but it’s a really good pet that supposed to be just an all-around great pet or pal and it’s usually attainable in the later games but you can breed one and I became fascinated. The other thing that happened was I found out that Powell world was available on the Mac. It’s not on Steam. It’s a separate application so that means that my four none of my Steam accounts would be able to use it on the Mac, but you might ask yourself what this is what does One have to do with the other well when I’m watching YouTube I’m watching it in my living room room. When I’m trying to do the breeding it’s hard to follow and beyond my gaming computers, which is on the other side of the room so I went ahead and bought power for the Mac and I had to start up yet another account so now I have five accounts and I went ahead and invited this account on my Mac to my guild and I now have a way to do stuff on my bases while I am logged into my MacBook Pro and of course, now that she’s in the guild, she has the abilities to teleport to all of my basis, and so I then spent the next couple of days working out ways of getting the right pals to make this particular pal Sekhmet

Great job of explaining everything, but I don’t wanna give away the content.


OK, so I was doing pretty good with this one. I went out to the crater and found the huge burning egg and was able to get Blazemut but it was the wrong set for the Relaxurus Lux and I’m just realizing I could’ve just made it the first two again. So I went out to get another egg. But when I went to meet, I made it the wrong like Relaxurus, I was supposed to use LUX so I made it the right one but by then it was almost 930 and it was time for me to go to bed.

Wednesday



Power world I played so much power that I didn’t even have time to record a video. I played way too much power world all day I went. I got obsessed with the eggs and then I got obsessed with. I made a new flame flower. I made some of the schematics from terraria, including the helm and then the breast plate and I was obsessed with making the eggs for to get that one final pal and I just spent so much time running around doing all the different things to get the pat and it was great. I had a blast. I even played so much that I really had to leave some stuff out. Oh I did get one of those universal boxes that I can put my pets in and then any guild member can come up and take them out and that really helped with the breeding and I’ve been enjoying the whole breeding process. It’s really really kind of neat and you know I can’t explain it. It’s a satisfaction of putting 2 pets together and then watching the results. I did have to go back out to try to get another one of those eggs and I managed to do it because I had the wrong sex so it worked out though and it’s I like the flying around and looking for the eggs and then finally finding one it’s very satisfying.

Thursday 

Dazzi cloud



I went back into the terraria dungeon, and I was able to run through it and get enough of the Dazzy cloud DAZZI to make it worthwhile to go through the whole thing and to make it so that I could upgrade my electricity I actually chose the option to upgrade my electricity to be out of the capacity because the next thing I’m gonna have to get is a battery for that that’s another thing. That’s really interesting about this whole game is that everything is linked there’s so many steps when I finally get to one level it opens up all this technology but then the technology needs the stuff that you got on the previous level and there’s a lot of thinking to it and it’s really good. The other thing about the terraria dungeon is that there’s a lot of mushrooms in it and I need mushrooms to upgrade. I think it’s something cooking. I think cooking needs mushrooms to upgrade so it’s very nice that there’s so much so much mushrooms in there and I love the new breast plate that I got from one of the schematics and it has a cape and it looks really nice and yeah.

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

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?
