headlight, dark highway, I drive on but it feels all sideways

[21:40] Tentaculus Infestus v2.1: Emilly Orr looks tasty.

Do I?



This is Pine Hill Resort, which sounds like a charming little getaway, and instead, is a series of caves and underground passageways. Again, I had to find a Windlight setting that wasn't completely dark.



Okay, I admit it, this one got me--it's a very old jumpscare pop-up, but as there hadn't been anything similar at any point to where they popped up--just long, twisty-windy passages that looked the same--it did actually make me jolt.



This got me too, but in a far more annoying fashion. So, down side: at random intervals through this haunt, there are ground spawners to spawn enemies. Rabid dogs, mummies, ghosts, zombies, skeletons. Up side: none of them can damage you. Secondary down side: They will push you, and crowd around you, and make it very irritating to try to move.



Whaaaaat?

Seriously, this Wendigo-looking thing matches nothing else in the entire build.

Also, he led to a dead end. Why.



Great, great, lava and burnt bodies, so happy with that, why is this here...

And walking out into the lava was literally walking out onto the lava, which also was not damage-enabled.



And the lava river lead to a dead end. WHY.



And then I found the sub ocean again, and that was it, I gave up.

I guess if you like being bumped a lot by zombies, mummies, skeletons and feral dogs that deal no damage, you'd be good here? Or if you just really like walking through endless passageways that either go nowhere or loop back on themselves? If so, then this is TOTALLY your gig, and go have fun.

It wasn't mine, so...two out of five skulls for the ruins in the empty spaces, but deducting three skulls for mostly boring.

somebody calls you, somebody says swim with the current and float away

The history of French fries is fascinating. To start with, they're not even French.

And like old books? How about 11,000 old books from 1923? They have now all been digitized and can be read for free. You're welcome.

And are you part of Collection #1? Before you sneer at the idea, a quick check of haveibeenpwned revealed I am, so I am now sighing and changing my passwords. You should check, too.



In the meantime, I have found the sub ocean! Which is probably only amusing to me, so I'll explain that.



There's a Canadian internet comedy troupe called Loading Ready Run. They do a lot of things, from skit comedy to news coverage to net streaming of games old and new. Every year I watch their charity livestream, Desert Bus for Hope, which is always amazing. But, there's one show, hosted by Graham Stark and featuring Alex Steacy, called Watch+Play.



And in that series of longform torturing of Alex with really bad games, one of the chief marks of a really bad game is that they built the game either in a visible skybox--and some of them are really, really visible--or on the 'ground level' of that landscape, which means any slight glitch, dip, or fall through the ground level results in Alex suddenly visiting the sub ocean--id est, the water layer below the ground.



In other words, Second Life.



I caught these pictures at DISORDERLY/CURELESS' sim, and it was really just a case of my inability to rez in the surroundings as fast as I ordinarily would. I think my comp's going out.

But it amused me.
