Midsomer Murders
So it’s been a while since I’ve talked about what I’m watching. We watch PlutoTv pretty much every night. Mostly to watch Antiques Roadshow. Well, there’s another channel on Pluto that interested me. But it’s a live channel, so I was always missing the beginning of the show – Midsomer Murders.
Midsomer Murders is a British “comfy police procedural”. The episodes are about an hour and a half each. It’s about two cops in Midsomer county, and they investigate murders in their area.
There’s a lot of murders. It’s on par with Murder, She Wrote for the body counts that tally up through out the episodes. I’m currently on series two. And I’m throughly enjoying the episodes that I’ve watched.
The humour is pretty close to dad jokes, and those types of laughs. There’s a running joke now though out the two series that I’ve watched: DS Troy is a terrible driver.
I’m really enjoying what I’ve watched so far. The crimes are very complicated, and I haven’t guessed one killer yet. Probably because the episodes move very slowly, until they move quickly.
What’s your “comfy” British shows that you watch?
Continuing on with No Man’s Sky
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about No Man’s Sky. I actually uploaded these pictures, probably about 3ish weeks ago, and them promptly forgot to post the next time we went over to Shandy Acres for Sunday dinner.
So yeah, this is my current ship. I bounced around with one or two others, but I found I was having to acquire more and more launch fuel. It was quite frankly, annoying. I knew I had to find a Class ‘S’ ship with solar sails. The solar sails recharge the starship launchers. Finally, I found another one.
It was kinda annoying switching ships, I had dumped a lot of credits into the old one, but I hated how it looked. This one is far more elegant.
So yeah, this is the newest Theseus. I’m slowly switching out all the substandard parts to fully a class parts.
In order to pay for all this, I’ve been doing a bit of pirating. But I’m a pirate with some morels. I don’t go after the freighters, just the cargo pods that float next them. After I’ve plundered all the cargo pods, I’ll warp back to my “home” system. Then I’ll hit up the space station, and sell all the pirated stuff. Then, I’ll buy what I can there, and sell it in my base in the pirate controlled area.
I’ve been making some bank.
Also to help with making some money, I have a fleet. I send 5 ships out on the longest expeditions I have access too, and they will bring me back around a million or so credits once a day.
Last week I think, I added 5 more ships to the fleet, bring the number of ships up to 10.
I like this game. More than I thought I would. I don’t have it on the easiest setting or the hardest. It’s perfect for when I don’t have a lot of brain power to expend on it. It relaxes me as well.
The Mighty Nein – live at Wembley
Well, here we are again. This time about 3 weeks late. I finally got the chance to sit down, and devote 4.5 hours of a bunch of nerdy ass voice actors playing D&D. It. Was. Amazing.
It truly felt like slipping into your most comfortable pair of pants. I don’t want to be one of those stereotypical “critters” that say this campaign helped me through a tough time. But it really did. After I moved out of my parents house … I was pretty much alone. Not pretty much,
Totally alone.
So I started watching campaign one. If anyone watched that. The first 20 or so episodes are plagued with audio problems, and the fact that it starts in the middle of the campaign, didn’t really gel with me, so I did the next best thing – shut off campaign 1, and really dove into campaign 2.
My review of campaign 2 is right here for you.
The thing that I said about these one shots are like slipping into your favorite pair of pants, is exactly true. As soon as the first words of this live (first time since 2020) show were uttered, it was like watching the whole campaign over again.
It was amazing. From the ad read to the call and response to the final standing ovation, I was on the edge of my seat, laughing, tearing up, laughing again. What a ride. I could watch these nerds in these characters over and over again.
I’ll keep watching them until they don’t want to do it again. And I’m pretty sure Travis just pushed Matt to do another one when his character asked his wife’s character to marry him. You could tell Matt, along with the rest of the cast was blown away by it.
Thank you again for these characters. For the fun, the sadness, and for the giant kaiju battle. Long live The Might Nein!
Thank you.
