The "Fourth Heatwave" continues, and so does my lack of AGameAWeekiness.
Apparently it's cooler tomorrow.
.. And then it goes right back up again!
Aargh!!
I spent an hour playing No Man's Sky, and didn't really get through much exploring. The final Portal trip really knackered my ship up, and I had to spend ages trying to remember how best to find the most basic of elements.. ..
In my other saves, I'd built up giant bulk storage amounts, but in my Switch save, I pretty much just used it for wandering about, so it certainly isn't the best of saves to play from.
It's getting there.
I'll build on it!
Other than that I tried to do a bit of music, but that wasn't going anywhere, nor were my plans for a Shoebox Game for Monday.
Honestly, it's really hard to think in all this heat.
Maybe I should go and sit in the fridge for a few days?
[verse]
I think I'm gonna go and make a chair in the fridge.
Take out a shelf or three, and make a little space for me.
Go and sit inside and find a way to keep the light on.
And then I'll sit and read a book, or maybe code a game.
[pre-chorus]
In the fridge, (Where it's chilly)
I can sit, (Rather silly)
Look at me, (Read my book)
I'm alright. (I'm really cool inside my fridge)
[chorus]
blinky binky tink, cool, alright.
blinky binky twoo. La la la
blinky binky tink, cool, alright.
blinky binky tra-la-laa-la-la
[verse]
I think I'll have to turn the fan up in the living room.
But it'll probably be blowing all my papers all around.
Or a little pool to bathe my feet in, nice and cooling.
Then I'll sit and read a book, or maybe code a game.
[pre-chorus]
Giant fan, (Hope it's chilly)
Nice and cool, (Nothing silly)
Look at me, (I read my book)
I'm alright. (I'm really cool with my epic fan)
[chorus]
blinky binky tink, cool, alright.
blinky binky twoo. La la la
blinky binky tink, cool, alright.
blinky binky tra-la-laa-la-la
[bridge]
Oh good grieft the temperature is soaring once again,
And I'm not sure if I can cope with all this heat.
It's like a crazy melting magma that's refusing to cool down.
The room is hot like an oven, and I am the roast chicken.
[chorus]
blinky binky tink, cool, alright.
blinky binky twoo. La la la
blinky binky tink, cool, alright.
blinky binky tra-la-laa-la-la
tra-la-laa-la-la
blinky binky tra-la-laa-la-la
tra-la-laa-la-la
blinky binky twoo. La la la
[Dave is proudly sticking a new poster near the Highscore Spreadsheet. The poster reads: "Dave's 10 Scoreboard Commandments." Greenie is leaning against a Centipede machine, shaking his head.]
Green: Rule one: "No score must be claimed, unsupervised by a member of staff."
Dave: That pretty much fixes all the problems, right?
Green: Except we'd need extra staff members to stand watching people play the games all day.
Dave: Don't be silly. You could do that!
Green: I am NOT doing that.
Dave: Why not? You love these sorts of games.
Green: That's well beyond my job description.
Dave: To be fair, I never actually hired you.
Green: That's not the point.
Dave: Don't worry, Greenie, it's about the integrity of the game.
Green: [reading] "No cheating allowed, even if it's for the integrity of the game." I'm not sure that makes any sense, Dave.
Dave: Nonsense! It's perfectly logical. Rule three: "The Whack-a-Mole score of 999,999 is hereby expunged from the records."
Green: You're still hung up on that? And why is that a permanent rule?
Dave: Rule four: "High scores must not look like phone numbers."
Green: You know high scores can look like phone numbers, right? Some phone numbers look like high scores. They're just numbers, Dave.
Dave: Rule five: "The top ten scores of every game must have a corresponding email address in the Highscore Spreadsheet."
Green: We've been over how flawed that bit of the ruleset is.
Dave: You still don't believe all the people using the "NotARealEmail.com" domain, are you? I checked it out. It's a real domain.
Green: And that's your proof, is it? Did you email any of them?
Dave: No. I didn't have any news for the newsletter yet.
Green: Rule six: "Any score that ends in 1337 will be given a free ScrunchCake." Seriously?
Dave: See! I'm encouraging honesty! It's genius!
Green: Dave, this is insane. We're running a business, not a game of Dungeons and Dragons!
Dave: Dragon ScrunchCakes?.. It's all about the experience, Greenie! This is going to revolutionise arcade integrity!
Green: You don't have to revolutionise everything, Dave. Some things are better left alone.
Dave: Nonsense! The future is now!
