I’m working my way through the Point Lookout DLC for FALLOUT 3, which seems to be inspired by movies like Deliverance (1972) and Wrong Turn (2003), and possibly others but I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch horror movies!
The thumbnail for this recent video is one I’m real proud of, though. I typically use a screen shot from the video and add the FALLOUT 3 logo somewhere. But for this one, I did a composite of several images. I thought it turned out nice and creepy.
I celebrated my 51st birthday last month, and my family threw me a murder because we’ve been watching a lot of Agatha Christie lately, including “Murder on the Orient Express,” “Death on the Nile.” and “Ordeal by Innocence.”
My husband played the “corpse” and our oldest daughter wrote a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style story for me to play through. There were also clues around the house for me to find.
It was so cool I turned it into a browser-based text adventure game using a program called Twine. If you’d like to play it, check out this link.
Since this is my first time using Twine, let me know if you find any typos or have any suggestions, if you play it. Unfortunately, the current version doesn’t allow me to include images, but I may use this or another similar program to make my own text adventure games in the future. It was really fun to do.
Team Trashcake has a lot going on, so we’ve taken a break from STARDEW VALLEY livestreams for now.
I was going through my old laptop and found some unedited footage from my GOD OF WAR playthrough, so there are a few more videos on that 2019 playlist now! See me battle valkyrie Kara with a fully-upgraded and powerful Shattered Gauntlet of Ages, defeat the valkyrie Olrun after dying eleven times, listen to Mimir’s stories about Ragnarok, obtain one of the most powerful armor sets in the game, and more on my YouTube channel.
Something else I worked on in April were my Fallout fanfiction stories. I finished the last two stories I had planned for the Fiona series, “The Blue Room” and “All In.”
You can read these and other stories on AO3 at ArchiveOfOurOwn.org/users/Jewelsmith but be warned, they do contain ADULT CONTENT including explicit sex, language, drugs, alcohol and violence.
Not all of my stories on AO3 are about Fallout, and not all of them are smutty (or entirely smutty). There are ratings and content tags on all AO3 stories, so if you’re looking to read about how MacCready Meets the Mayor, or how Fiona deals with a Cold, Cruel World by becoming the Minutemen general, you can do that pretty safely (assuming you don’t mind language and violence). But if you’d like something more romantic or even erotic, I’ve got that, too.
I hope you’re enjoying spring, wherever you may be, and celebrating the lovely day of Beltaine, May 1, the beginning of summer in Irish mythology. I’ll be off to visit a holy well, light a bonfire, and adorn my front door with flowers.
