the division of joy

And to update. How the fuck did Endgame even happen logistically (other than y'know, money). So many incredibly high profile names. Stunning conclusion to a mostly excellent glut of films. Finger clickin' good.

Looking forward to what Phase 4 has to offer, Eternals has my attention big time.

So, having only seen GOTG 1 & 2, Black Panther and Ant Man pre Covid, I've been watching through these again in chronological order. 

Highlights have been Captain America: Civil War, Thor: Ragnarok, Ant Man, Spiderman: Homecoming and pretty much any of the Avengers films have rocked, with Ragnarok being one of the funnier films I've seen in a while. Korg needs his own film. 

Low-lights have been the first Captain America film and sadly Black Panther (both times I've seen it now) didn't really hold my attention at all.

I've only got Captain Marvel, Endgame and Far from Home to watch, but I kinda regret sleeping on the series as a whole, as two (in my opinion) misses out of the whole bunch is exceptional going.

There's anything... and then there's anything!

Reference for credibility.

I have initial excitement, but its seeping more towards scepticism about how this will be done as lots of Video Game to Screen adaptations have been based around something with a set enough story, whereas fallout is extremely sandbox with a lot of theme rather than being too story heavy. It could work in the favour with the volume of creative freedom also as the Westworld folks did a phenomenal job setting up the Westworld world, it just ran out of steam (in my opinion) as it moved beyond the setup and developing all the threads they built.

Yeah, kinda echoing what Eamonn is saying here. I watched 2-3 episodes and I found it very scattered, almost like a animated podcast, but the type of thing that'd be enjoyable with some weed or stimulant.

Watching through The Last Dance and really enjoying some of the music in it. It really helps set the mood of the time and era. This song really has been stuck in my head since finishing it. The bass in it is sensational.

Anyone who wants to drop over tomorrow evening, let me know and I'll log in and keep the gates open. There's money to be made on the stalk market!

Well, had a KK concert. Island is 3 star. I did put up some fences, but they were hedges so I placed them in random spots and they just look like bushes. I apparently need more DIY decorations but I'm running out of recipes. I've used all the ones I like and I don't want to start throwing beds and clocks around town. I'm hoping I can score some good ones in the daily message in a bottle. Managed to catch a mahi-mahi, which was cool. I've got two ramps left to build until every cliff area on my island is accessible. Played around with the island editor tool and gave every house a little stone area, built a pond, and put a light house on a cliff. And I'm looking forward to Lief coming again cause I want all the flowers. And I am still in search of an island with something besides oranges. Not a whole lot going on, but if anyone ever wants to visit, just let me know!

Will swap oranges for my never ending collection of pears & apples?

I hate you.

One of my favourite things about kraftwerk is that after 40 years, Florian split from the group because of artistic differences. For such a groundbreaking and innovative band, I'd love to have heard his threshold as to what made him quit.

I'm getting to the point where things are slowing down a bit for me. Trying to tick off some bits and pieces (90 out of 100 caught in a row lost to a sneezing fit hurts).

I do get my KK show soon though despite only being a 3 star island.

Dreams do come through. Excited to see how this progressed and how other people get cast, but God damn I can't wait to see Oscar Winner Nicolas Cage portray Joe Exotic.

Yeah, I did that too, when I was in my sell everything mode. Also, as someone who loves fishing, trash Islands are the worst. Absolute worst!

I myself plunged into over 2 million worth of debt at the weekend to get a basement I haven't got adequate furniture for.

Its on. Large spike tomorrow AM. Gates are open for anyone who wants to visit.

Actually, disregard. My price bumped this AM up to 130 bells and I'm 93% likely to have a large spike tomorrow morning.

If anyone wants to come to my island, do let me know.

124 bells each, for another few hours anyway. hit me up if any of y'all wanna visit!

I'll take some of that action

Anything higher than 98 or even around there works for me. I bought at that and it's slid down to 61 slowly but surely over the week.

The ladder comes with a bit more days put into it. Took me a while to get it myself. Not long after the Plaza gets a renovation I think.

Also is it possible to sell Turnips on different islands.... Cos my prices are spiralling down and I put about 500k bells into them.

I really like her. She's got an excellent voice which I think that Bad Guy doesn't really show off too much. I think a lot of why she might be deemed annoying is that she isn't another in the long line of young talented female people to even consider relying on sexuality in their arsenal of talents.

Are you mocking me? I was honestly just trying to be nice and say if it's stressing Stilly out, it's not like an essential thing here. And I'm saying that because it's actually still not working on any of my devices. 

Kinda mocking. Nothing malicious intended.

Agree its a nice to have, not a need to have here.

But with Raccoons!

I've heard bottomed-out prices like that can be followed by a spike, but it doesn't seem to be a hard rule from what I've seen 

Yeah, its jumped to 97 this morning and the predictor is looking like tomorrow morning is the time to sell.

What an emotional roller-coaster.

@alive she criedSee the Simpsons image at the top of this page for (relative) context. 

It went to 35 in the afternoon.

It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't plough a solid 400k worth of bells into it on my first go. I'm hoping it'll hit the floor hard and bounce.

Yes. But. WHEN, DO WE THROW, IN THE. TOWEL!
