Since starting my YouTube channel, I’ve had to find ways to make time for recording, editing and to write for this blog. I love doing all of those things but there are times when some of my hobbies become so challenging that they become frustrating. For example, the day I’m writing this, I recorded 5 episodes and none of them were usable. Two due to technical difficulties and the other three because of low energy and just bad quality. Finally, I pulled through and succeeded.
Today, Creatures is intended to be my break from all that frustration and heart ache. Unfortunately, Aidan was so old, it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to enjoy his presence as much as I’d hoped. Still, he’d be able to go up to Silicon Heaven and enjoy life with his old companions Lydia and Opal.
His passing away would also mean that another female would be able to join us, which was at least a small consolation for his inevitable passing. I couldn’t remember what genders the stored babies were, but it seemed like as good a chance as any for me to introduce some Generation 1 girl to the scene.
I poked around the world and noticed that all the younger boys were napping – only Bobby and Aidan seemed interested in exploring in their old age and Cassy was fascinated by old Bobby – she hardly left his side and he never left her sight! I’d also (re)installed Jessica of Discover Albia’s sprite and body data fix and the edits seemed to hold this time. There were still some glitches here and there, largely due to some issues with this game running on my particular system (64 bit? Too new a Windows?) but there was a definite improvement in the sprites. The best guess I had was that the graphics just didn’t get along well on my computer in the first place.
Of all the norns in the world, I don’t think any slept as much as Danny. His health always seemed high, but I doubted he’d impress any female norns with that kind of lethargy. Then again, all it would take is a broody female norn passing by for him to have any offspring. Creatures are funny that way!
