AprilPvd in VR:



No Man’s Sky


Nope - Cool update but...


Palworld 1.0

Friday 



April Pvd I’m feeling guilty about her because she really belongs in the guild with Grand Nagus but unfortunately Grand Nagus hasn’t had time to actually play but I’m still expanding that base and letting it run which is crazy because now that I’ve gotten the particulars down about how to keep keep the things growing you know I know now I need a planter. I need a water. I need a gatherer and you know that was that was kind of confusing for me because the gatherer and the transport are too completely different things and so I am I figured it all out and but I have been on April Pvd now bear in mind. I am on the server that I pay $14 a month for a great server that was the best for this is the best $14 I spend each month when you think about when I was playing World of Warcraft I was actually paying for four subscriptions and I was paying $60 a month so I’m actually saving but I’m running three characters right now on the guild on Aprillian guild with April on the Mac and April Pvd and on I wanted to get I wanted to get the moon flower tower last week. I tried several times and still didn’t make it and I want it mainly for one thing at level 55 if you’ve taken out the moon flower tower you get an extra slot that you can make to have an extra weapon that’s that’s my goal, but I realize what I really needed to do was upgrade April Pvd, and so I started out with all of her equipment. She was up to 61 at this point so she could do this shield, but in order to make the shield, she had to make all these other things oh, and she made a new gun a laser Gatling, a laser cannon so this was a new thing that she could make so I’m running back-and-forth between these three characters I have April on the Mac building stuff on for The, the thermal core all the equipment that I needed for all the resources I needed to make the equipment for April Pvd‘s new gear so she needed the gun. She needed the shield and she needed the bullets for the thermal cannon and so she also needed certain gear as well at one point though she needed Cole and I was out of cold. I couldn’t believe it so I ended up going back to April who is on the Guild with Grand Nagus and I got some call from them and brought it back over so I could continue making all this gear for April Pvd. It’s so much fun. It’s complicated. It’s grinding and it’s what I really like in my MMORPG power has done a great job on all the different things that you have to do of course one of the things I really have to focus on a lot is inventory management and I’m getting really good at that I mean, of course I have the equipment that lets me that one thing that lets me see everything that’s on my prop on the base except what’s in the guilt chest. The other thing I needed to make the shield was some more of the civilization course in order to get the civilization courses. I did one of those I did a couple of those raids that you can do from the summoning raid and thank goodness I read about this before and I knew about this is that you don’t wanna summon them to your base I don’t even understand why that’s an option because it just seems like a mess but what I do is I just I use the summoning stone. I get to the way and the thing is once you start the raid once you get there, you have five minutes so you have to work really fast so I go in and of course I also have most of my most of my pals at the expedition so a lot of the ones that would really work well in this word were not available to me, but I just went through really quickly pulled out all the high-level ones that I had loaded them into the box and I started the the battle and it was. It was good. One of the things I did have a problem and I don’t know what I know what happened at one point I was starting up the game from the flatscreen and for some reason it wasn’t letting me change my my weapon so I’m I’m trying to do this battle with just an ax and there’s nothing I can do to change it. I probably could’ve used the keyboard to change. I just realize that or the mouse, but because the the things I was throwing at it was so good and I had actually took out the boss. It’s just the first level one, but I have a chance of getting one to three of those civilization courses not to be confused with the civilization parts and after doing two of these battles in the second battle, I was able to pull out my weapon I got enough to make the shield cause I need 30 and it’s kind of weird because I’m I’m on April Pvd on the base that belongs to Aprillian but it’s OK because I’m using their Matt to make the gear for Apple Pvd to take down the moonflower boss so it’s still their advantage plus if I think about it, I may just leave the gear for April for Aprllian to use because eventually I’m gonna go back on Aprillian and start leveling her and leave April Pvd alone. I may even go ahead and take out the pals on the base that she’s sharing with Grand Nagus because you know I have to be careful while I’m on this server on this guild I have to make sure I go back and check to make sure that the pets of the pals on their guild isn’t starving or going crazy but at this point I’ve gotten so good at farming not farming. Farming is different farming is when the pets go into the corral and drop things but this is growing stuff growing food growing I mean, growing vegetables, and then being able to make the vegetable make the meals that keep them alive, but I’ve stockpile so much in every food basket that they seem to be OK and I do hop on Epril and then check back to make sure they’re OK




But after being totally prepared and fixing April Pvd and leveling up the pals, the three of us went into moonflower tower, and we were able to take the bus down, even though it was nailbiting all the way up to the end.



Saturday


I’ve been pretty consistent the last four years with sticking to my schedule of working out Monday, Thursday, and Saturday Saturdays pretty proud of this one of the things I was doing lately though I’ve changed up my boxing routine because I feel like I don’t need the boxing gloves anymore then when these VR boxing gloves that for me, it made it easier for me to punch and made it less like I was poking with the controllers, but two things were happening. When is that I had to change my take off my wrist weight and then put on the gloves and then reverse the thing at the end of doing the workout and I’m trying to streamline my workout so I can just power through it plus, I was wondering what it would be like if I worked out with the weight now, someone put it in my head a few years ago that working out boxing with weights was bad for you, but then I started thinking about it. The other VR things I do like when I do fit XR I’m wearing weights and I’m also wearing a weighted vest cause I’m trying to optimize my workout plus as you get older we need to have to work out with weights because it helps to build bone density and and promotes a trunk strength if that makes sense because you want your upper body to be strong one of the scary things about getting older is that if you fall it’s not always the fall that does you in but the inability to recover from the fall I’ll get up sometimes you’re in a prone position and it’s not and it makes it hard for you to breathe or something, but the thing I love about working doing the boxing is that I’m definitely working on my trunk strength and so I’m wearing my weighted vest and I’m wearing the wrist weights now I didn’t mention this in last week’s episode but my last boxing was Thursday and I got a streak and I got I’ve actually broke my high score in this particular workout. It’s so silly that I get focused on getting the streak which is 948 hits in a row I mean, even if I don’t get the streak I’m still doing the same amount of working out and exercising, but I managed to work through this with my weights on and it felt good and I think it’s good for my muscles because you can’t just do the same workouts all the time and not go forward so I managed I did it and I had a blast. I’m also doing the elliptical you know I do my whole one almost 2 hour workout but there’s a new map on Holofit and it has this Halloween thing in today Saturday’s Halloween and so it was really appropriate plus, I’m also listening to the book by Octavia. Butler called fledgling and it’s about vampire or vampire like being so the whole thing was very moody and very appropriate and I loved it and I’m getting exercise.




Sunday 

Since Sunday is a non-workout day I usually take a long walk with my dog. I decided to go shopping at a grocery store. That’s about 45 minutes away so it’s still meant two hours of my morning was taken up, but I also bought 7 pounds of chicken breast so I had to spend some time preparing that for meal prep and then putting it in the freezer. This meant that I basically got. last gameplay, but I did get into it and I took Aprillian out to level up and complete the find the next tower steps.



I did a lot of climbing.


Monday

Of course, Monday means work out day.


The rest of the day, of course my VR time was spent in PalWorld. I call it PW in my Journal because for some reason when I say power world, it spells Powell world, and I don’t know how to make that change it when I do talk to text, but I had I first started off doing some you know basic maintenance what I call I first thing you know when I login is of course check all the basis to make sure everybody has food I logged in on April Pvd first because I wanted to I was supposed to be moving the base





The last thing I did on April Pvd was to catch a Splaterina male that she took to Aprillian so they could breed them for the quest that meant turning in 10 of them. She dropped it off at Aprillian’s base and later that day after they had hatched a bunch of them, she went back and got a male in a female so that she could breed her own.


Wednesday


Eldramoor Beta



I don’t know if I mentioned this, but Zenith announced the Ramen. VR announced that they are closing down their servers on December 18 so you know I do participate in cosmetic craze twice a month and I’m gonna be very sad to see that go. It was it was nice. It was a nice environment, but back in July 2025 a kick starter opened up for something called Eldramoor.

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.

Palworld 1.0

Friday 

Challenges about this dedicated server that I am sharing with my two guild is that while I’m on one you know one character on a guild the other characters guild is in jeopardy sometimes because of raids some of my bases never get right but the one I have with Grand Nagus that’s out in by the water gets raided constantly. My idea that I came up with was to put out a one of those gunners there’s one of the things you can buy with tech that puts a gunner that someone who has handiwork can mount and protect, and I looked at the technology April Pvd has has it available and she’s got over 100 technology points so I went ahead and built one. The only thing was that it has the electricity symbol on it which this base did not have electricity so I had to build an electrical unit and I had to put a electric generating person out there and I did and I think it helped but yeah it took a lot. It took some Matt and it took some running around and then I got the idea well since I’m putting it here I might as well put it on a base on the other guild and now of course it’s one of those technology things that are not that Aprillian is not high enough to do plus you know I am trying to share the technology point so I sent her over to their guild and she put one on one of their bases but I ended up when I actually had the had a raid come on that base. It was interesting because they came from a different angle and I don’t think they gunner did anything to help so I did put walls up at that base put some defenses up on that bay so I kind of wall it off and I did leave a gap to where the gunner is. It should be interesting to see how that works, but I love, figuring out all the little intricacies of these particular of power world, and I love going back-and-forth and being able to share my technology because at the same time the April on the Mac had learned the extra holster technology and so she made one for April Pvd that so that she doesn’t use up her technology points. It was interesting.







Epril and AprilPvd 


Saturday

So many different things I did today, but the big thing was that I went into take down the next tower and I came really close, especially at the last one when I created a Gatlin gun. I had April on the Mac in there and Aprillian on my gaming laptop. April Pvd was in VR. In the middle of all that I was doing a lot of breeding.

I’m happy to say I figured out a lot of things with the pal souls cause I’ve been collecting them and and I haven’t really understood a lot about them. You know you go to those statues but while I was preparing for this next boss, I took all my Jourmintide over to the statue and I enhanced as much as I could on the the health and the attack and the defense. .



Sunday

 I played over six hours and I did so many things one of the things I’m trying to do is just give you the highlights because I don’t think you wanna know everything I do in power world there’s so much to do but you know I have been trying to beat the genetic tower and the main music for that cause I want that incubator and I went in with my two characters so I have to get April on the Mac to run down to the tower and then get a brilliant who is on the gaming laptop down there as well and like I said before it’s really easy to do because you just have to press press the button once and then once April Pvd VR is there and she presses the button we go well she presses once and then she passes it again for the start of the match and what she does that we go right in now I think the last time I tried I think I accidentally recalled my my pet. My German tied the big water ball bird now I’m using the Gatling gun and and I go over while the first thing I do and I think I mentioned this is release the power on Aprillian because she is to the left of my VR area and then I start a fight. I release my bird and my German tide. It’s a dragon. It’s not a bird and actually can’t even fly. I found that out yesterday when I was running around and I realize that it could go on the water and I can fish with it but when I was trying to fly, I needed my Nightwing back at one point I think maybe after I had done this game this match I had filled my whole lineup with the German tide and I had left my Nightwing behind but yeah well it’s easy. I just gotta find a flight and go back but anyways, I got in mine and Got went to work with my Gatlin gun and once I’m doing enough damage with the rwo you Jourmontides.

Again, if you are looking at the video at youtube.com/Ctr AltWoW you’ll see April Pvd just running around like crazy and taking down this boss I was really glad that I got this view sometimes when I’m recording on the other computer, they’re looking the wrong way and this way, it was really nice. My name is for wanting to take down. This boss was twofold. The first one was the expedition because you get once you open up once you take down a tower you open up another slot in the expedition and you get higher quality, spheres, and other materials, including ancient civilization cores which I needed to make things but you also open up the large electric incubator and I know that’s great. It’s perfect for me because I have been going crazy the past few weeks when I have been doing technically when I’m trying to meet a break/breed a a particular pal and I have to like I want I’m getting so many eggs because I’m using both Grintale and vegetable cake which causes them to lay multiple eggs.

This is a comparison of looking at April Pvd on the flatscreen on the left and in VR on the right. i’m at the point where I’m ready to take out the Moonflower tower, but I think I’m gonna chill for a little bit and work on redesigning my bases because they’re all just chaotic because I’ve just been putting stuff down as the quest line has said you have to build this and you have to build that so I’m just gonna take a moment to back off and trying to make things look a little bit better and a little bit neater. I’ve got some more cosmetic things like the cherry trees that I can put down and we’ll see how that goes.





Monday

And it was crazy because Monday morning, one of the things that I really wanted to do the dedicated server for and I’ve mentioned this is that I wanted to be able to play with all my characters and I wanted to be able to use the MacBook Pro to play when I’m just doing casual stuff like monitoring, eggs, or things like that and checking on food and things so I would sometimes in them when I get up in the morning while I’m eating my breakfast, I would do of course I did my workout today, but I’m not showing that I work out in VR on Monday, Thursdays, and Saturdays so I would get up while after I did my workout and everything before I could really get into putting on the VR headset I got on April on the MacBook Pro and I turned on the server and she checked on some eggs and stuff and then I got distracted, and I logged her off and went to do a few other things and forgot to turn the server off again I know I’ve done this once before and yeah, when I logged back in, everybody was upset everybody was miserable almost everybody two things I noticed was that both of my remote basis now you know I have on a brilliant and in my guild with April on the Mac she has three bases there’s her main base that’s the one that’s out on the water with the glass bottom and then she has her other base which was her first base and that’s a little a little closer to the starting area those two bases well actually her main base was the one that was crazy because I was trying to only give them really good food and I didn’t put any of the baked berries in the food box and that that’s the risk is that they run out of food, but the remote base is on both of them. The one with April Pvd that she has with Grand Nagus they had not only do. They have berries, but I think on one of my bases I had that generator thing that gives out some kind of waves to make their sanity stay higher and not only is that helpful for heat them from going crazy. They were less likely to get damage so the first thing I had to do when I logged in after my workout was to go to all the bases and put food in everybody’s food box and then there was a whole bunch of decisions I had to make because some of the really good about the ones that had the love of some watering or we’re doing specific things that I had compressed them for they were depressed so I had to go and make some of that medication. It looks like an injection and it will stop them from being depressed. What I wanted to do really was just replaced them all but you know some of My had put a lot of work into and I also went in and made a few more made another one of those generators on some of the bases that didn’t have them and it was a lot of work but at least you know you can recover from them. I mean if you leave your server running that the good thing is they were still working so they generated stuff the eggs were hatched and you know they were still farming and stuff. They were just kind of messed up, but that’s how Monday started.

One of the things that I’m doing in the game is leveling the basis because I wanna get that fourth base and that one I can just move around everywhere whenever I need resources. but I. The thing about leveling the bases though is that the material materials you need on the the equipment that you have to make it seems to be in level with you know the highest person and the next step is April Pvd needs needed to get to 58 so she could build a gigantic oven and then the next sphere machine and so she was at 57 and she was almost at 58 so I decided to take her into terraria, which is the crossover but there’s some game called terraria. I think I’ve talked about it before and so I ran her through that and it was a lot of fun. I love the background music. I love the all the different things you have to encounter this this honey pot that you have to break apart and there’s a whole bunch of different mobs to take out and I actually caught one of the eyeballs just to make it a pet you know then I realize I really need to try to get two of each because you know I like to breed I’ve gotten hooked on breeding, but I went through and I took out the boss and along the way sea level to 58, which meant she could make the next thing in the base expansion and for that I wanted to do it at that point I think oh yeah, she was she was back in a brilliant guild and so I wanted to have her make the gigantic stove and then the other thing was you know the sphere thing needed hex Hexall heel tight ingots in order to McDonald’s. She had to go to that other island and get a smoky and go into a dungeon to get chromite now I went ahead and got to that island got the smoky and I still needed to find a dungeon and once I got the smoky, I made the smoky harness which needed dark matter, which means I had to go back to that island and get the dark matter so I can make so she could get that done and I also got a male and a female. I got mother the first tooth Smokies I got and I was shocked turned out to be male and female, so I took them back to a Aprillian base and April Pvd started breeding them and getting the eggs for them. Then I had to kick on April because while while Pvd is in the other guild, the other bases are just running ragged, so April got on and checking on those spaces. She could at least monitor the food in the basket. She could set up some of the equipment to make stuff and it’s crazy to be doing this on two different character and two different guilds but it’s fun and I’m getting it done and I love the fact that it keeps my mind active and and if it was a really really good day, 


















The new incubator is so amazing. It can hold 10 eggs and it seems like it hatches even faster. It’s so cool to go over and say take all pals.


Ran the terraria dungeon on  AprilPvd.






Tuesday 

I did learn something from my previous game that I have on my desktop and that was that I didn’t need to make the metal finder thingy to get chromite instead I just use smoky and bought the harness and I kind of remembered to where to find the dungeon and I was impressed with the fact that I did it.

I also learned that I don’t need to set up a base to get Hexolite Quartz because there’s so much in the dungeon while I’m getting chromite.

To get from base level 23 to base level 24 I had to first build a gigantic furnace and then build the advanced sphere assembly line. But in order to build the advanced sphere assembly line I had to have the gigantic furnace make 50 hexalite ingots. But I got it done on April Pvd for a brilliant guild. This was exciting because the next step is to build a large scale electric egg incubator, which will allow you to have for bases. But you cannot get that incubator until you take out the boss at Feybeak tower, which you can’t get to until you take out the moon flower boss. So that’s two bosses ahead. So yeah.




Wednesday 

Taking Aprillian out to be leveled up I really wanted to get her to appoint past April Pvd so she went up to the moon flower area, which is like a Japanese kind of feeling there’s all these cherry trees and interesting pets and and just it’s just beautiful, so she went through one of the dungeons and I was a little bit surprised because the dungeon was above her, but she has her Jourmantide shutdown, microphone, external microphone detection, and that thing will kill anything. They’ve been a couple of times when I was actually trying to capture a pal, and I bought it out to keep me from dying and it just mutilated them so I was kind of neat. I love the atmosphere of this place and I love the decoration and of course this is where the next tower I need to do is so I’m running through this and doing all the quest she hadn’t. April Pvd has already got to the point where it says take out the tower. The reason why you’re doing it is cause there’s a guy there. The client is in love with the woman who is in charge of the tower and she won’t give up her responsibilities unless you take over the tower, but the whole place is just so beautiful and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the fact that with my handgun I could take out a lot of the mobs, and then when I needed to, I would bring out my big dragon.



Originally, I was going to log into Aprillian because I wanted to move her guild to the new island because she’s gonna need that Crystal. But I remembered April Pvd was the one who had the guild chest technology. I should look at it, though at this point I could probably have them duplicate some of the things to keep from having jump back-and-forth. It worked out while she was in a guild she could set their gigantic furnace to make the Hexalite ingots that Aprillian has not not gotten into the level to learn.

Logged into No Man’s Sky to do the expedition on my main account April Pvd. It took a few minutes to get some of my muscle memory back, and I was still jumping with the wrong button because it’s different from the one I use in Palworld.

I did a few of the milestones and finish the first page. It was a lot of work.

AprilPvd in VR:

No Man’s Sky





Palworld 1.0


Friday 

AprilPvd made it to the desert to find out information about the next tower

While Aprillian and April on the Mac were busy hatching eggs and making multiple Sekhets . They had made a bunch of. Dumond Guild but realize that they sell for the 11900 at level one but up to 31,000 at higher levels.


Saturday

Aprillian made it to Dune shelter and got a new hat



So now both April Pvd and Aprillian have gotten to the fourth tower.



Sunday 

I got so much done and I got to play most of the day, which is my dream you know when I had to go to work before I retired. It was frustrating to come home and only have a little bit of time in VR now I get to stay as much as I can with amazing cause I still like to do a little chores around the house first. My main goal for the day was to get to that tower the PFID tower, but I also wanted to level up the base and in order to love of the base I had to put down an oil extractor, and when I was looking at the oil extractor coming up on my technology list, April Pvd had to get to 51. I just figured I’d have to put it down and I remember putting down an oil extractor earlier in the game must’ve been a different kind of one, but I needed to put this one down on a source of oil and none of the places where I had my bases had those nose so I had to breakdown both the base that I had for a quartz Crystal with the April Pvd‘s Guild and also the other guild that I have with Aprillian so the first thing I did was breakdown this guild with the April Pvd and it was very sad because it was beautiful and the sound of the breaking glass was very well well realistic it sounded like breaking glass the only difference well I got the system down pad when I was doing the ones on my other, save the one that I still have on my as a dedicated server on my PC I also had one of those Daisy clouds so what I would do was breakdown everything as much as I could and put everything in the guild chest and then I would break down the guilt chest last be right before I broke the power box down and then fly to the new base and if everything goes right, then I could put down the power base and then put down and put down the pile box and then put the guild chest down and have access to all the stuff that was in the guild chest, which theoretically should be all the stuff that I broke down at the base, I didn’t have a problem because once I got to the new base, you know the first thing I like to do is put down the platform because I really hate it. When my base has my power box is just sitting in the middle of the ground, so I like it to be on on a platform now one of the silly things I did was before this I was getting ready to do that to go up against Marcus at the fourth tower and in order to do that I had brought these German tides into my party because I wanted to level them up because I heard they were really good against him and if I could have like two or three or maybe four, maybe three and then give some to Aprillian  and April on a Mac and then you’ll be able to pull them out to help with the fight but you know when you when they hatch they are just level one so I wanted to bring them in and they level up pretty pretty quickly in the party. I took them into some dungeons and stuff, but I forgot my night wing so when I was after I destroyed the base I’ve had to then run.

New hat for April





Falling in VR and IRL!

Monday

I’m very proud that I am sticking to this schedule. I work out Monday, Thursdays, and Sundays for two hours and you know I spend the whole time in VR this new headset that I got from Bobo VR M Pro plus is perfect. The only caveat was I didn’t have to buy the extra batteries so I’ll have three batteries and it’s just enough that I can continuously play because by the time the third battery runs low the first battery has charged back up but and it’s perfect for VR for several for working out in VR for several reasons and the first one, of course is that I it stays on my head while I’m working out.




Electricity on the and the training thing on the Paul lab machine but in order to do it I needed some Daisy cloud now I could go out and hunt them down but I’m doing so much cause I’m running two different guilds and I had the idea of mating two Daisy clouds, and then hatching their eggs and then butchering. There are the hatchlings so here I am butchering the Daisy hatching just to get enough clouds so I can upgrade my electricity. I know it’s it’s sick and perverted but yeah I did it but then that wasn’t enough because I still didn’t have enough electricity so I took. I took one of my horses. I forget what it’s called but I had I got I went to the desolate church and I bought some contraband books for electricity. I know that if I run enough dungeons and get to the end, the chest is gonna drop something, but I got the books I had were Medicine and lumber and I had enough of those so I went to buy those books..









Tuesday 

Did some breeding today. Two of the pals you need or would want to have when you’re breeding are Grintale, gives you a 50% chance of getting and Broncherry, which gives you a chance of getting an alpha egg or a mutated egg. I only had one Broncherry so I was sharing it between the two guilds. I decided to go hunt some and I caught two.

Breed the rock hound for electricity, and so I could compress it and the Dazzi so I could butcher it for the clouds to level electricity on the other guild.

After several days of preparation, I triple boxed the fourth tower in Palworld. I was on AprilPvd in VR, while Aprillian was on my gaming laptop, and April was on the Mac. The key was that I leveled up four Jormuntide and gave one to each of my “teammates” so that once we got into the tower, they could release theirs and I had two to switch out plus a really powerful Gobgin. I switch between my handgun and my pump action shotgun. It was a good battle.

Wednesday 

One of the things that I wanted to do involved getting April Pvd into the other guild because she could make things that my lower level guild could not make, and I invited her in and then she went to my old base you know the one that I built to get the credit for building the oil extractor from the node, but it was right next to that big boss and because brilliant Guild was lower, they kept getting attacked, so I didn’t even use it after we got the credit to expand the base to the next level. Pvd went out there she destroyed the base broke it down.

I decided that I wanted to put this base on somewhere near the the next tower because of course the base is how I was moving the really low level characters like April on the Mac to near the towers because there’s no way they were gonna get there. It would just take too long flying and they would just row everything along the way so I broke that base down and then flew to where the other base was where the other tower was and I put that base there and it took some time because you have you have to fly up this mountain of course I talked about this before if you go the regular route and do all the quest lines you end up on an easier way, but we flew up. I flew up that mountain with April Pvd, and then once she got the flight pass, I found a place near the flight path to build that base and then I had both April on the Mac and Aprillian teleport to that base Flyy up to the The flight path and then then just go home because you know it was just too high and then April Pvd went looked around that area to find a place to put that base and she actually found a place that had quartz crystals called hardwood and one of those oil nodes because later on we’re gonna need a lot of that oil to make another kind of ingots and although it was a crazy thing to do, but it was fun and I’m I’m glad that I figured out how to do it and then I also in the middle of all of this I’m having a hard time keeping the electricity going on Aprillian‘s base and I didn’t understand it, but she had two beacons those birds and they were level four for electricity so it should’ve been fine, but I decided to breed the rock hounds and specifically using the brown cherry to get an alpha and then I compress them and I actually got one of the alpha‘s up to level seven for electricity and the crazy thing was, I did all this while on the flatscreen while I was recording control out while Final Fantasy 14. I’m just I’m loving the atmosphere. I’m having fun. I thought I’d say that over and over again, but I actually spent almost over six hours in the game, but I have to break down soon and go play No Man’s Sky before the expedition is over. 


I was having trouble keeping electricity going, so I decided to breed a whole bunch of these Rayhounds and then compress them. I got this one from level four to level seven in generating electricity.


Thursday 

I decided I wanted to level Epril to level 20 so that she could do some more stuff that I wanted her to do you know I think I’ve talked about this enough. I’m trying to distribute the technology point across all my characters and I needed to make a toolbox which is gonna help for handiwork. It’s one of the things you get when you do the elaborate research and I didn’t want to use the points on April Pvd so I wanna get Epril to 220 I had Aprillian  run her through some of the dungeons and it worked. She got a few levels in and then I took her after the dungeon, I took her I mean after the tower, I took her into a dungeon and then we also went out and got some took down some pets and eventually she got to level 20 which was really good.

The rest of the day I spent on Aprillian I wanted to level her up and she made some things she did some. She went out exploring opening up the map going into different dungeons capturing stuff and she did well. It’s interesting because I feel like each character, fights, a different way she uses her handgun and she just we also did some breeding. We ran out of money. Handguns shells are expensive. I just stopped trying to make them because it just takes too much time to make a few of them so she has been she was breeding the Drummond guild because they get so much money but the thing is you didn’t have to take them out and put them in your party so that they can level up and you can get more money for them and oh and she also level breed those little purse like things I need to call Migo and they if you have them in your party then you don’t need keys for a lot of of the chest that’s out there and I just I just love the whole experience we’re breeding. I just find it fun and then of course, if you breed a whole bunch of something you can compress it. I had Pvd join Aprillian‘s guild for a little bit because I wanted her to make the pylons and she put a pylon and the main base and in the base out In up north that’s getting her the pal the oil that she’s gonna need for later on also she made the pal steel steel. I think it’s called because April Pvd has the blueprint and saving my technology points. I’m gonna have so many towards the end but it’s gonna be fun. It was a really good week and I have to say I really love this game and I’m not looking forward to this weekend because I’m gonna have to stop and play some No Man’s Sky but thanks for joining me if you want to see the video of this of this week and you can check it out at YouTube/CTRLALTWOWu can write me at ctrlaltwow@gmail.com.
