Wow... Not WoW... How Satisf-ying

Yeah, this won't be a WoW post, as I have not been playing much of it this past week.  Been playing more Satisfactory and readin'. I know, me reading? whaaat? Bought a little Kindle 11 gen. It's super small and cute. I have sooo much kindle books I never read and a bunch that my sister sent me I figured it would be a good time to get in some reading.
But first! Let me talk about what I have been doing in SATISFACTORY!!!!
As of right now, I'm super into making blueprints. I'll pretty much just explain my blueprints with the screenshots I took.
Since I already beat the game (Sending off the last Space Elevator phase) I can just build shit and not have to worry about making specific items. Alrightee here goes...

First pic... Single item factory with back to back double storage bins and a dimensional depot with the option for a drone port. 
It has 3 smelters and 3 constructors.
I made the dimensional depot feed exposed just for aesthetics and to see if that item is maxed in the depot. I did not fully enclose this as half way through I was thinking that it might be something that I wanna add to another product factory. I have yet to use this blueprint.
Next is another one I have yet to actually use. I completed a basic 3m road loop around the world just hours before I decided to make this blueprint. Of course I took ideas from other people's blueprints with the train track, road and hypertube BUT a lot of them were too hightech for me. Ok so yeah I only made a straight segment. That's not gonna get me that far eh. I love my pink lights but it uses a shit lot of quartz crystals, fml! It uses everything in the dimensional depot so I'd have to carry a crap ton on me...
same thing with the previous blueprint... I have yet to actually use this one. but it's sooo pretty, I even set the street light to purple. ugh!!!
Next!
This double Drone Port is pretty sweet. everything is loaded and unloaded from the bottom. Both ports are hooked up for incoming and outgoing feeds with storage bins. Fuel can be fed into one bin and split to both ports. It's fully enclosed with metal walls, but I was debating on making it regular factory walls so I could color it all pink and blue. Well at least I made the railings pink with black accents. I remembered what happened with the previous one so I decided against lighting the fuck outta this one. But let's be honest, I was so close to trimming the shit outta this with pink lights HA!

This next one is my pride and joy...
a Bio Factory! 
In feeding: water, plastic, bio material
My first bio factory I got as a blueprint when I  started playing this game. Back when we had color cartridges from flowers we got when we picked plants and such. I seriously needed an updated one. Nothing I found on the Satisfactory Calculator website satisfied me. So what do you do when you can't find what you want... obviously you don't cry, but you make your own. 
It took me about an hour to make this... maybe longer cuz I did go afk for a little bit and I did make some finishing touches with signs and green lights and floor patterns. 
All in all I'm completely happy with the end result.
6 x 6, and maybe 1segment from the max height in the blueprint maker thingy. 
I initially wanted to make the bio fuel refinery on the 3rd floor but I was over the max height so I had to put it on the 2nd floor. So it's peaking up to the 3rd floor. 
I have 3 tanks for spare Bio fuel. When I need more packaged fuel, I'll just bring my building some plastic for the empty packages that they will fill.
Speaking of Bio Fuel... I never thought Bio Fuel was even remotely useful until I saw a video on YouTube. Might have been Kibits...
Bio Fuel does not get the initial boost, BUT it lasts so fuckin long. I can go so far with my jet pack on bio fuel. I use it over rocket fuel.
WHAAAAT????
Anywhos...
This factory is so beautiful.
I have cat walks above the machines, factory ceiling lights, everything is colored, the outside walls aren't just one big boring ass square block. Glass walls even are different. Concrete walls are colored with a tinge of green and the roof glass are different angle degrees to look like I'm allowing the factory some machine exhaust relief. Ugh! so beauts!
Outside awning above the pick-up/deposit area was not part of the blueprint, as well as the signs and lights. Sadly they could not be added to the blueprint because they were on the boarder of the blueprint maker, poops. BUT, I added them after placing the blueprint nonetheless and they look spectacular if I do say so myself.
So!
Plastic manual feeding for the packaging for the fuel. Wood, leaves and mycelia for the solid biofuel. Slugs for the power shards, and alien meat for the alien capsules. I made another factory that had the meat into biomass for the solid bio fuel BUT I don't have this being done in this factory... I'll explain why in a little bit.
Everything in this factory is being slooped. Including the liquid biofuel. 
With my 3 reserve tanks I don't mind having them in the waiting for when I need them to be packaged. I won't ever have an auto feeding of plastic as I only have one double bin for the Bio fuel and I only use it for my jetpack, so I don't need a crap ton of it.
NOW lets get into the "slooping stuff". Power shards and Alien Capsules to be specific...
I watched a video several weeks ago (before the patch update mind you) and I learned how to "dup" things. WTF!!!!??? this was the best thing EVAAAAAR!!!!!! I duped so much things. I was so happy! I had the chance to have power shards, tickets and hard drives up the ass!!!! this was an amazing glitch exploit!!! I wish I had known of sooner! I slowed down on "duping" because I was told I was being a cheater, and that didn't really sit well with me. So I stopped duping. Besides, I really thought this was not gonna be taken away as this is a single player game (with the occasional multiplayer option if you have friends) BUT come the update... you guessed it, this glitch was fixed. No more "duping". I was sad. I went back to my game and opened  some boxes and saw I had a bunch of duped hard drives obvi!
So today was the day this happened....
I maxed out on all my hard drive researches.
I've collected all the available alternate recipes I can with 76 hard drives left. Now that I think about it, I could have duped tickets instead of hard drives!
Ugh!!... alright. 
Anywhos, A funny story in the alternate recipes, today I was trying the utilize alternate recipes for a little encased industrial beam factory I made, but I was having the roughest fuckin time. I am used to the original recipe and I was fucking up so much trying to do this with alternate recipes. Simple shit. It was embarrassing. made me feel like a fuckin noob that didn't know how to make a fuckin' factory, a single item factory no less. 
Alright, my fingers are getting numb right now, so I'll wind this down now... last thing to talk about. Since I've been so focused on my blueprints I completely forgot that my nuclear power factory is NOT at all self-sufficient. So I went to check on it and fuck... my.... fuckin.... life!...
It was fucked!!! 
Everything was backed up. WHY?!?!?!?
Two major things happened, My nuclear rod production was halted because my encased industrial beam bin was empty. UGH!
So EVERYTHING! was backed up. 
My nuclear waste was backed up all the way to the "I'll deal with it later" bins. That' s when you KNOW this is bad shit happening.
Game face is on, we need to act fast!
Why did this happen?!?!?!?!?
I realized that 2 things actually happened.
Along with the encased beam stoppage, the residual water also backed up from the "getting rid of the waste" production. FML!!!
Alright, Solution for this one...
Wet concrete! I saw on a video that wet concrete alternate recipe was a good way for getting rid of residual water issues.. and fricken' shit! that's my issue! So let's get fuckin to it man!!!!
I have 5 big water bins and this still gets full hella fast. So solution, I put a drone port that brings in limestone to make Wet concrete with the residual water. So now I'm making wet concrete, and sinking it. I don't feel comfortable on having it feed into the machines that require concrete as this is not very self reliable yet either. when something with the waste management stops the water stops which will result in the water stoppage, so this is my issue, meh, anyways ways, I'm super trying hard to type but I'm finding it getting more difficult soooooooo I'll end it here.
Thank you spell check. I've been drinking. My best writings come when I'm drunk/tipsy. 
Might be because I need to feel accomplished when I'm feeling like a piece of shit. I'm kidding, I think it's just that when I drink, I do my best thinking. I feel more focused on the useless things. Making my blog entries is very useless, I know this. But I have nothing and no one to tell me any different. I just listen to my music, and type my little black heart away.

Bye Panda remix... Hello new expac

Started 8/20/24
I don't know how I feel about the huge fact that I didn't play much of MoP remix. 

MoP was one of my favorite expansions, I usually choose that timeline to level my alts, BUT... I was really not in the mood (yes 95% of the time Remix was active) to play it. I've Never, and I mean NEVER was one to get power levelled. So when it was offered to Truth and I we took it and something after that made me not want to play it again. I know, we didn't have to get power levelled, We're fuckin adults and it was completely our choice, but a retail guildie wanted to and it seemed too easy. Turns out it wasn't... the "levelling boost" only was until level 25 then we had to go the rest of the way. Well that was crap. I know I don't like getting fully carried and this was just a prime example why I don't like it. I HATE contributing nothing to a run. I hate seeing myself at the bottom of any meters, even below the damn healer. Being a caster getting carried, everything died so quick I hit jack shit. But really everyone besides the one doing the carrying, was in there for the same reason, for power levelling carries. Then when Truth and I were told to go level the rest of the way or some shit, I said Fuuuuck that and pretty much never played remix again. I've posted about my MoP mounts, and I think I wrote that I got all of the ones that I was farming years for in retail but NOT all of the new remix ones. Getting ALL the different mounts were such a huge appeal to me before Remix launched, but then I came to terms with the fact that I was not ever gonna get them. Even after the whole levelling fiasco, I was planning on going back in there and farming for Bronze and finishing my collecting... that never happened. And when I lost my interest in playing Remix.
_________________

continued...

Alright... so yeah, Panda remix was a bust.

moving on to new stuff!!! YAY!
The War Within is here!!!!!
Soo I did take longer then usual levelling then prior expansions I believe. I'm sure I wrote about it but, I'm NOT going back to old entries to find out for sure... 2 days. Well lets see, the early access launch was 3pm on the 22nd and I hit 80 on the 24th. Not making excuses (I kinda am) I really wasn't too focused on levelling as quick as possible, and I worked Thursday and Friday.  Like every expac, so much to do and I'm usually not the type of person who will look everything up prior to new content going live. So I'm taking the time to learn everything as it happens, this being how my talents work, how professions work, Delves, zone events and just the general quests.
Everything is new and you'd think I'd be super excited to play, but I really haven't been. Hearing everyone in guild complain about bugs and nerfs to their classes really takes the fun out of stuff for me. I have a difficult time tuning things out and I can't just not read guild chat. I know I know, just close out the gchat tab, but like I said... it's easier said then done with me, especially since I'm in an officer position, and even though the issues and drama does not stem from the people in my guild and they're directed at Blizzard, it's drama nonetheless that I can't fix. 

Alright, let's turn this drab ass blog around shall we.
Fun stuff... I've never really levelled my main toon with someone else, and I usually prefer to do it solo, but Truth needed to level his Priest, so I "allowed" him to tag along. He needs so much help, ya know. I'm kidding, he helps me out a lot, especially since he did it all on his Demon Hunter, he knew where to go and stuff so it definitely made it faster. I think I was gonna be looking at a 4 day level 80 trek, but he cut that in half for me. Prolly cuz I would have been too busy taking screenies of the new stuff. Running with someone else puts pressure on me to not fuck around and get sidetracked like I always do.
OK so Truth just happened to go back to Dragon Isles and the last thing he needed for Taivan was up. YAY!

I'm not the biggest fan of dynamic flight and so I usually like to just go with normal flying, well in order to have the switching option and go back to normal flight, you need to complete the Pathfinder achievement. I was super cranky that I didn't get it quick and it wasn't until 4 days after I apparently got this achievement that I noticed I had it. the only reason why I knew I even had it was that I went to check what the requirements were and turns out it was friggen there already. WTF!!! how did I not even see this pop. I didn't look at it to begin with to see what I needed to do. thankfully, I love questing and I try to complete them all. Turns out, all it was was finishing quest lines. YAY normal flight!!!!

A fun in-game feature they added that I'm getting a kick out of is the Arachnophobia mode. This thing makes me smile so much. The spiders and some Nerubians turn into Makrura clackers and crabs. This is so hilarious to me. I changed it to see what it looks like, but then I never changed it back. mainly because I forgot to, but also I love seeing everything as crabs. I don't have a problem with spiders or anything but it's just funny. My spider pets and mounts are CRABS!!!!
Now that I've said all that, I realized it might have all sounded insensitive to the people that actually suffer from arachnophobia. I'm completely not taking away from that actual condition.... 

what am I talking about. this is MY blog... spiders are welcome!!! arachnophobia people suck it!. well fuuuuck. now I'm gonna have nightmares about spiders aren't I... geez.

Alright I'm about done with this one...
Last thing... for now because I can't remember everything I wanted to talk about....
Dalaran sewer turtle pet you can get in Dornogal. a little collecting chain you need to do to get it, but when you do it's super cute. 4 little turtles with scarves in colors of the Ninja Turtles around their necks. When you get the pet and you summon it, the scarves' color change. but it is at random so if you want a specific color, you need to re-summon the pet. Personally I love Michelangelo, so I re-summon it until I get the orange.  But I noticed Leo's blue color comes out the most. Ah well, I like Leo too.

Alrightee.... that's it for me
OK... Ok bye!

Oops...


Well, this is awkward...
I've been extremely unmotivated to post anything for a while. I have unfinished drafts with pics but I had very little interest to finish them. mucho apologies. Aside from not finishing them, There was a stint of lack of WoW interest as well. Not too sure why. Maybe Season 4 content didn't really grab me and my "collector" interests didn't really satisfy me either. I was pushing for pets and achieves so much towards the end of Season 3 I think I just got super burnt out. I still haven't been looking forward to loggin on to do stuff either. My guild activity or lack thereof, has been really toned down. I'm not taking a bunch of screenshots, I'm not having interest in trying to get the guild to do anything. Granted, a lot of people have slowed down their playing until next expansion. The core are still playing though so that's a good thing.

With that being said, I was carried to my 3K for season 4. 527 item level is most likely the highest I'll go, well 528 in my bag, but I swapped a piece out for stats. 

My boys tried their hardest to get me my 3K despite my kicking and screaming to do anything higher then a 8. They were successful. They kept looking at my raider io and I won't lie, it does feel good to see some numbers. A lot of them really don't mean anything as it is season 4 and most players have been poking around in beta, Panda remix and just stopped altogether... but still I was super proud of myself. As of tonight these were my numbers. 6th on realm for Demo locks and 14th for all locks!. I'll never see these numbers again, sooooo naturally I had to record this shit as a reminder that I did do it once upon a time.
Ok so next thing... My pets!!! I hit 1400 and I completely wasn't keeping track of it. Truth gave me a pet I didn't have and it popped. YAY! and the reward was the secretive frogduck. It's so cute, and looks like he's up to something. I haven't been keeping up with pet battles and my warcraftpets score and I think I got Truth into pet battles. HA!
Now for the next achievement. 1600!!!!
well maaaaaybe I won't grind out for this one. seems too far off to get. ugh! but but but, Violet Violence pet looks really pretty. it's purple! 

Ok and now to end this quick post...
As the last post explained, I have been playing different games which I knew was a bad for my WoW time. If I play a game that I like, I will play it to the fullest and I find it difficult to switch. WoW being that perfect example. I immerse myself into a game fully for a long time. I know I will always come back to WoW but it will take a backseat for an extended period of time. I mean I guess now is the best time for it. Not much going on in WoW right now so might as well right. Cripes! I forgot about the pre-expac event. gosh dang it!
Ugh, take back everything I said, I need to play more wow until I get everything from that!!!
mmkay... little posts are the way to go here. (sure sure sure Skully, you always say that and then disappear for a month)
ok... ok bye!

Where's Skully gone?!?

Getting a couple questions on where I've been lately, I figured it's time to explain. 
I've been spending all my time in Palia. It's a new(ish) Multiplayer online game. I say newish because it's been out for a hot minute now but it's still in beta. It's a cosy game with no combat threat to your character. You build friendships with villagers, forage for materials, build homes on your land plots. Make gold to upgrade items from farming your garden, hunting, mining and fishing, etc. You know, the normal cosy game shit. I've heard it has a Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing feel. I have only played Animal Crossing so I can't comment on the other, but yeah, reminds me of animal crossing, just way better.  

Right now the game is completely free on Steam BUT!!!! There is an ingame store for cosmetics that will be the death of me. So much cute, cool friggen outfits. I will not mention how much of my RL money I have actually spent, but let's just say it's not enough because I want/need more stuff. There's so much detail in these outfits and you can buy them as sets with a 3 for 2 discount or individual outfits that most come with about 3 color variations you can switch out. I love this so much. So let's just say they can make their money from the ingame store rather then charging for this game.

So Skully, you don't like to play/try new games how did you stumble upon this?
Blame Truth. I've been hanging out with him way too much and he's the bad influence.  Totally kidding of course, but he knows what games I like to play and suggested we play it. I'm not disappointed. The term "obsessed" is pretty much accurate right now on my feelings towards it. Go to work, come home, play Palia is my current routine. 

Watching youtube videos of people's builds are so fascinating to me. I wish I had that creativity. My decorations around my plot looks like a hot mess. I know I know, but they have unlocked so much more cool stuff cuz they've been playing longer... but still. And It should be so easy, they give tutorials, but I'm the type of person that I can't sit through a video and copy it exactly, I just wanna see it and duplicate the gist of what they were going for. Something's I'm doing a good job at but other's man... the time it takes to do all of it and place everything so nicely I can't seem to grasp.
But the main thing is Truth and I are having fun playing this game. And I'm pretty sure even when he stops playing this game, I'll still be playing it. 
Right now, WoW is taking a major back seat. I haven't even logged on in a couple days. Just not feeling it. I think a lot of people are. We all just waiting for the expansion to come out, but to be honest, if I'm still as engrossed in Palia then as I am now, I might not even wanna play as much as I used to. Just feels different.
I have 2 blog entry drafts that I have not had the urge to finish. One was about Panda Remix and the other just my usual update. But oh well, maybe I'll get those out, maybe not... we shall see. Again... I'll blame Truth... kidding.
And I'm struggling to keep up with my daily screenshots. I used to have so much and just pre set post them, but unless I go through old screenies, I really won't have much for those. I'm super tempted to change it to Palia screenshot-a-day... HEY! that's not a bad idea!
Well until I fully decide if I wanna do that... Here's some screenshots.
I love this game!
My fishies

Me <3

Truth helped me move my dock to the water

Then he came to fish with me

he asked why is this toilet in the middle of the room,
then used he it... I swear I wasn't looking.

My own plot of land. <3

Mid May Update

So while I was writing the last post, I had a lot more in my head to write about. BUT I didn't wanna add it to an entry that was already put out a month late. Anywhos! 
To the right is a pic of my current plate. 
2K baby!!!! yeah! I'm not gonna push io but if I get more, then I'll be ok with that. I got my Infinite Armoredon so I was happy! He does have a different mount special then the others before, well that I can remember. He scratches the ground first then does his roar thing. Err, now that I think about it, I don't remember doing the mount special for the last two 2k mounts, so it might not be a new animation, derp.
Making it a point to get all my Mythic+ mounts this expansion makes me sad about all the Shadowlands mounts that I missed. They are way cooler then these armoredons and they fly! The only one I got was the purple one from the last season of that expansion. I can't remember how I got it. Did Elo carry me to it? or my previous guild? You know what, let me take a pause here and see if I wrote about it....
Alright, It was Elo and a guildie from my last guild that helped me. I didn't mention the guildie's name but I think I know who it was. 
Now for this month's calendar.
I talked about Children's Week last post.
Another month of not going down to the Darkmoon Faire and fishing up my fish heads came and went. I miss my fish heads, but I was so busy with other stuff, I know I'd be down there just wasting time fishing. 
Northrend Dragon riding was here for 2 weeks. I finished doing all the races, BUT of course I didn't shoot for gold. Just focused on getting the achievement for the completion of the normal, advanced and reverse races. 
The other little event that happened this month was the Spring Balloon Festival. It's just an event where around Azeroth there was red X's on the map and at those locations were Goblin hot air balloons.
You talk to the goblins next to the balloons and they say that they're waiting for more people in order for you to take a ride. Apparently, 3 people are needed in order for you to ride on these balloons. Thats such crap! I was so sad. Who the heck would come with me just to ride a stupid balloon. I didn't ask anyone, but I really wanted to ride a balloon around The Broken Isles. The Event ended yesterday, and I didn't get my chance. Yet another event that requires more than a solo player to participate in. Sadness.
Ok soooo with all my grinding for my Shadowlands Meta Achievement I'm gonna have to slow down on it for a little bit... Because!!!!! Panda remix is coming out this week!!!! So exciting! levelling all over again. which you know I just love doing! and currency to get all the MoP things that I missed, or still trying to grind for rather. I know I can just buy stuff with the currency BUT if I get lucky and get them now and not have to buy them then great! even better. Truth and I told each other that we'll only level our Remix toons with each other. But I don't know if that will be good. I work Thursday and Friday at the office so am I gonna expect him not to play Panda? hmmm... idk.
Alright and this month's trading post... I don't like it because there's too much things I want and I don't have enough tender to buy them all, shocker right. I bought the Blazing Hippogryph cuz duh! it's a TCG mount but now I'm stuck deciding between other stuff.
I want the black gloves, the purple crown, the sunflower staff, and Pokee the pet. 
Then there's the Amber Skitterfly mount. Ugh! I want it but I already don't have enough tender for it. And the follow is me trying to make myself feel better for not getting it....
Well this looks like a Skitterfly that I already have. The Bestowed Sandskimmer is just on the more yellow side with blue wings. See I don't need the one from the trading post, right... right?
UGH NO! I need it waaaaahhhhh!!!!!!

When I was looking through my other bug mounts, I saw the one I got from the Nat Pagle fishing coins from my Garrison. The Crimson Water Strider looks sooo friggen cool and creepy with the glowing red eyes. When I bought it, I never got on this thing, and I don't know why I didn't notice how it looked like before. I just thought it was a red water bug mount.
Oh yeah and going back to the trading post, the monthly goal completion item is a butterfly wing back mog. Super cute, I can see guys not really digging this month's items as a whole with all the flowery shit, But hey! Blizz has to appeal to both genders right. 
I saw a couple cry baby boys in trade bitching about the items on the Traders Post this month. Personally I would LOVE for shit on the Post to be stuff I don't wanna buy. That would save me a bunch of friggen tender for the next month. But Noooooo, I'm greedy and I love everything (well most things) and I needs it ALL!
Starting May 16th Twitch drop is a pet. Crappy that I already have this.
Eye of the Legion
BUT! I'm kinda glad that I don't have to watch 4 hours of a stream. I know it's really not that hard to do, just open up a stream on my other monitor, mute it and not watch it. But it just gives me one more thing I DON'T have to do this month. Why does it have to be a pet that I already have... Boo!
And finally...
Oh how Islefin Dorado auction house prices have dropped. I remember farm fishing for this thing when they were selling for over 100g a pop. Even farmed for it when it was selling for 40g. now they're less then 1g geez. At least the Prismatic leaper prices didn't drop much. But what the heck am I talking about, I haven't even been fishing for anything lately anyways.
Alright I think I'm done with this one. I'm pretty sure I remembered everything... sure sure sure, I'll keep telling myself that. And then like usually remember about other stuff after I post it.
OK, OK Bye!!!

Random stuff

This one might be all over the place.
I uploaded screenies at the end of last month and I'm too lazy get new ones.  
Cripes, now that I think about it, I should have grabbed a new calendar at least. This is friggen last month's calendar as you can see. But I think I just wanted to talk about children's week and the Northrend Dragon riding Cup for the calendar.
So Children's week is another holiday event I don't think I did every year because I didn't think there was anything new. Now because of my Pet collecting trip recently, I did look up how to get ones that I was missing and I did find that 4 came from Children's week. WTF? I thought I did all those.... nope! I was missing the ones I get from BfA. So I took 4 toons and did the quest and got them all. 

Speaking of pets. This pet is probably the most expensive pet I've seen so far in this game. It costs 10,000 Pet Charms and you can buy him from a vendor in Oribos. and my last scan at the time got him selling at just under 200k. It is a really pretty pet. But I am not about to spend all that pet charms or gold for it. Besides, when I look at pet battle help on WoWHead, I don't believe I've ever seen someone post that they used this pet. Sorry Flawless Amethyst baubleworm... I will not be buying you anytime soon, or if ever.

I don't remember if I've talking about the Dragon skin addon, "Manuscript Journal". I love this thing so much! When you hover over the empty ones they tell you where they come from. I haven't been doing the dragonriding world quests for the purses on the regular so I haven't opened this tab up recently, but when I did I saw that I have collected all the Whimsydrake and Grotto Netherwing Drake skins. Woot! I think I also slowed down on the world quests, because I haven't been getting lucky with those lately and everytime I click to open the bags I get sad when I see no manuscripts. :-(
And finally the bane of my WoW existence at the moment is this damn Shadowlands Meta achievement for Zovaal's Soul Eater mount.
The rares in the Maw is not hard, I just need 3 other people to help me summon a rare on the list and then I loot it to get my last piece I need to summon the last rare on the list. BUT! the "Shadowlands Dilettante" is the pain in the ass one! If I had 3 other alts that had the other covenants all maxed, this one would be no problem. But In Shadowlands, I wasn't playing much of my alts. Now I wish I had LOL. This one is an account wide achievement and such a pain in the ass grind that will take me forever especially since I'ma only be doing it on one toon. Ugh, I know I won't be getting that done anytime soon. Definitely not before next expansion... Im so sad! but I'll get over it :-)
ok I'm done with this one...
OK, OK bye!

End of April update

 Not quite the end of April but figured I'd get one out now cuz yeah, I'ma forget later. Gonna start with the good stuff of course then kinda drift off into the not so good stuff.

FIRST! Yeah! I got the Rasz skin. Long have I been farming this weekly, well since season 1, and a few weeks ago a guildie gave me his drop. I always make it known that I was trying for this for a long time and at the end of our Vault of the Incarnates practice run, a guildie whispers me saying that I'd get more out of this mount then he would. I was sooooo happy I was speechless a little while after and sooo greatful. YAY!!!!!

My next mount I was given was Midnight from Karazhan. Quantum Corsair drop from Rise. Shifty doesn't care about mounts so he gave it to me, but when I opened it and he saw what it was, LOL he was like wtf! that mount is so cool. I'm sure he regretted his decision to give it to me BUT! too late!
Actually I'm pretty positive if he opened it, it would have been something else cuz he doesn't have a lot of mounts so the available options for him is a whole lot more than mine. I really should go and farm this on Heroic just for a chance for the quantum mount drop. 

This month saw the Noblegarden event. So I'm really not too sure when they added a bunch of the mog, pets and toys, but I was missing like all of them. I only had 2 of the bunny ears, no pets, and none of the transmogs. The duck holiday boss was new I'm pretty sure. It dropped a carpet mount after turning in the daily kill quest and you get it out of the basket reward. I believe I got this to drop for me a couple days shy of the end of this event. I was getting so discouraged, mainly cuz I was not running this on my alts until a few days before that. So I was kicking myself for not taking advantage of that part. I was seeing this drop for everyone so I thought it was a sure bet, I'd just get it on my main. It actually dropped for Babyskully. Thank goodness! cuz I was gonna be super sad panda. At the end of the event, I got all the items! So happy panda I was.
This month's Trading post was not great in my opinion. I mean the Shark hat YES! I needed that as soon as I saw it. It's hilarious, I love it! But the rest was super meh. I bought 3 things only. The shark hat, turtle mount, and the purple sarong. I'm not a huge fan of the shoulder wraps. I don't know why. I think the fact that it does not sit flush on my undead shoulders has a lot to do with it. I wanna like it, but I just don't so I don't waste my tender on these garbage shoulders. j/k it's not garbage, its just junk. ;-P  
I already had the pirate ship from before, and I'm not a huge fan of the spring and pirate outfits. At the end of my purchases I've managed to hold onto 250 tender that I'll take to next month.
I did a craft and I was Bro the other day! made me laugh. I love these.
Alright so along with this being a fun April full of new things I got, achievements completed, and Season 4 coming out It also kinda ended with a slight reality check for me. When someone points out that I might be doing things because I like the attention really slapped me in the face. Not in a bad way really, it was just an eye opener. Like, I never play this game for attention let's just get that out there right now. I'm nice to everyone and might use too much /hug /love emotes.  It made me think, because although I might not be doing it intentionally, am I doing it for the attention subconsciously? if there's some part of me that is, I fuckin hate it and I'm gonna try to put a stop to that real quick. In the past, putting myself in my antisocial hole is really easy, I have no issues doing it. I cut everything off until I feel better. Because I play with other people now, do I really have that in me to do that again? I don't think I can completely cut off being social, but I can at least dial it back. Lay low and mind my own business. It just sparked my depression again and made me realize I need to focus on me and if that means cutting back on WoW for a bit, then I will. At least the social aspect of it. Just to prove to myself that I play this game for me and not because I crave the attention.
