Illuminated Strawberry

just a little piece of sanity

[illuminated-strawberry]

Man, it’s been a while since I posted something on here.

This is one of the best things to do in this game... I can’t help but laugh maniacally whenever I do it.

Here’s something that happens occasionally with my friend and I while playing The Division... Basically, if/when we both see a citizen who needs help we rush over and try to press ‘F’ first to get the cosmetic item (it’s usually a cosmetic item).

I’m the yellow text and he’s the white text. Click image for a (slightly) better quality!

Just a short little GIF of me playing The Division. Kind of sad that there wasn’t that much in terms of character customization, but I’m happy as long as I have my sniper rifle.

Riding horses is like, my favourite thing to do in this game.

In any game, really.

I just really like horses.

Man, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to post anything on here or make and GIFs...

Mostly because I’ve been preoccupied with Black Desert Online and The Division! 

There is my character, Ecix, and her trusty stead, Dilasaer. Up ahead is my friend and his donkey lol... I like to make fun of that all the time. Not shown is my pet hawk, Korwyn.

I’ve started playing Black Desert Online and had wanted to try and make some GIFs out of what I’ve recorded, but it’s been mostly just be getting to learn how to play the game... Haha. I think when I’ve gotten more comfortable with it, then I’ll start attempting to make GIFs.

But man, if you could hear me playing this game... I’m more excited about my hawk, Korwyn, and my horse, Dilasaer, more than anything else. I think I just want to ride my horse around everywhere...

Oh! And just... I’m really liking this game. Very glad my friend suggested I get it (it was more like, if I got that game to play with him then he’d get The Division to play with me lol... Good trade!)

Made another Divinity Original Sin GIF, but I’m still learning on how to make it compatible with Tumblr :(

The story behind this is that we were almost done, killed everything but that big dude and that totem thing back there but then... Death.

We weren’t really in the correct frame of mind. Well, at least I wasn’t.

Dsc. Erin “Violet” Hawkins

My one and only PSI-Operative, as well as the newest recruit, Erin rounds up my three favourite XCOM2 soldiers on my team. She’s a favourite because she is my only PSI-Operative and is also my only Canadian (where I hail from). I like to think she tough only on the battlefield and carefree off, whereas Katya is tough 24/7 and Madison is carefree 24/7.

I also have a romance going on in my head where Erin is (not-so) secretly in a relationship with the only male on my team, Caleb.

Col. Katya “Crash” Pavlova

The Ranger and Leader of my team, Katya is tied with Madison as my favourite on my team. She’s currently the highest rank, has the most kills, but unfortunately missed a couple of missions because she took a serious beating. Since then, she’s opted to wear a hood to cover all the scars and stitches permanently etched onto her face.

Maj. Madison “Slinger” King

My Sharpshooter, Madison is currently my favourite of three on the XCOM2 team. She hails from the UK and I’d like to think she and Katya have this healthy friendship-rivalry going on ‘cause they’re like, best friends.

This here essentially sums up how I go about in Divinity Original Sin (Enhanced Edition). 

And yes, this is actually me playing :)

It was an off day...

[illuminated-strawberry]

So, I’m planning on recording my gaming sessions from now on for fun. I suppose it’s a good practice for what I’m planning on doing after that, which is to start streaming my gaming sessions.

It’s not going to be something professional or something. It’s just purely for fun, ‘cause I’ve always wanted to try it out and it does seem like a fun hobby for me to pick up.

Another hobby I’m attempting to pick up is creating GIFs from the sessions I’ve recorded (like the XCOM2 one I made - literally - in the previous post). Making GIFs for Tumblr is kind of a pain, because of the limit on it... So, I was thinking of making two versions: one HD one that’ll be hosted somewhere else, and one here on Tumblr that could/might link to the HD version.

I don’t know, just a random thought and I felt like sharing.

[illuminated-strawberry]

I made a GIF of a random thing from XCOM2!

It’s not exciting, I know. And making GIFs that are Tumblr safe is really difficult... 

But! This is the beginning of a very fun time.

You can look at the bigger, better version here

I did it! I made it Tumblr safe! And still be 500px wide!

Now this! This is my Sorceress for Black Desert Online.

Her name is Ecix :)

I shall make my friends call her “E6″

[illuminated-strawberry]

I’m trying so desperately to find a Tumblr theme that is of the red variety that is feminine but also doesn’t look so... pink.

I’ve tried editing the colours myself but... Yeah.

This task is proving to be more difficult than originally assumed.

Decided to just go with the same Tumblr theme I’ve been inclined into using for years... I guess don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.

[illuminated-strawberry]

Not my Sorceress, obviously, but I will be playing one. Recently just got the pre-order.

So, in a few weeks my life will be filled with The Division and Black Desert Online.

Fun times ahead!

Currently started watching Sherlock Holmes again, and I am still madly in love.

I don’t know, just a random thought.

This is how I feel right now.
