Missing Dead

Was playing a bit of FarCry 3 when I came across a guy that... well I think he is high or drunk or something, cause we can all see that he forgot his gun at home.


He's just standing there like: "What you lookin' at bud? Everythang is fo realz here dog, I'm armed and all yo!"
And we are all like: "Yea dude, totally armed man. Bitchin'!"

I love bugs like that.

Also, when I was diving down into a river to find a figurine, I found where the bad guys put their enemies.


That Hoyt guy is a brutal motherfucker. Drowns people, deal in slavery, drugs, weapons and has a hugh hardon for my death.
All thou, I can understand his will to murder me, seeing as I have completetly fucked with his business from like, day 2 of my arrival on the ilands.
:D

In other news, I got some problems with my book.
It's finished, but I can't get the whole bookmark thing work, and without it, well... I need to make it work. So if anyone has a legit copy of Microsoft Word (I use Libreoffice, which is free, so no worries, not breaking any laws), let me know, so I can come to your place, finish the bookmark things, take it home, and send it in.
Much abliged.

Weekend Report

This weekend, I went to Gothenburg for a party. My fathers wife turned 50, and that meant, big ass party that would not soon be forgotten.

Can't miss that!

Started off with getting out of bed at 06:00 in the freakin morning on the friday. That was not fun, I mean, I still had vacation after all (that will end tonight).
But I managed to get up without any difficulties, and board the train at 08:00.
Early on, there was a signal malfunction, and we were delayed by an hour. Somehow, we still managed to speed on, and in the end, I arrived at Gothenburg Central Train Station just half an hour later then what my ticket had told me.

After some food, we started fixing the place for the party, balloons, setting tables and making sure that the music would be heard... it was not, we needed to buy a cable, that ended up not working with the tablet, but just fine with any of the phones we had... so Spotify via a phone it was!

2 hours before the party was to start, the live music came to set up, and an hour later, the food came and the first guest (who is now a buddy on the facerape).

Once the party had started, after the food was eaten, the night truelly came into its own.
And I have to say, it was a party I will not forget in a while. And I'm sure that Marie (the guest of honour) will not foget it for the next 20 years... or sooner if she gets dementia :P

I drank more beer both on the friday and the saturday than I do the whole year, and somehow, I also injured my right calf that increased as this day went on... difficult to walk now.
Oh well... no fun without some pain right? :/

Anyway, can also report, that everyone loved my kilt, and some even thought I was of scottish decent or even a scott... I am not.
But that didn't matter, it was fun either way.
So thanks for the party everyone!

Now I'm home, and can enjoy my own bed, my own toilett and my own showerhead :P

All About Lighting

I picked up Skyrim again, closing in on 1100 hours already. But the important change I've done to the game, is added a mod that changes the lighting.

Now you might think that such a mod would be useless... and in the long run, it is. But when it comes to realism, depth and the pure feeling of the game, it makes all the difference.

Here are some examples.

The Great Hall of the Jarl of Whiterun
With the mod, this hall is now lighted by the actual light sources, like candles, brazers and ofcourse, the giant firepit in the middle. And it does look good doesn't? (no I won't give you any pictures of what it looks like without the mod)

My bedroom in Breezehome, Whiterun.
The bedroom of my house in Whiterun (after a mod, as the home looks like shit otherwise), gets alot of its light sources from the holes in the ceiling. Now I can repair the holes, but right now, I like the light it gives.

The first Word you learn is here (if you stick with the main story line that is).
Not alot of light sources in that cave. And it looks fuckin fantastic!!

I can't believe I never used a mod like this before... I've played 1000 hours without a lighting mod, and I don't get why? It's obviously a fantastic mod right?

But having this mod, also causes you to have some issues... like in caves and dungeons. They are poorly lit, and here is an example of that.

What I see without the use of a torch or other light source.


What I see with a torch. Spot the difference?
And if you are wondering what those three little things down in the right corner are, it's a mod that makes so I could actually die if I don't eat, drink and sleep. They start off green, then yellow and end at red... if I let them be red for too long, I die of thirst or hunger, I can't die from sleep deprivation, but I will have a rought time fighting as both my health, magicka and stamina goes lower, and thus, I can't fight as well.
Makes it a bit more challenging, and a good reason to actually hunt, gather food and cook meals.

Clean Safety

Finally got around to cleaning my desk and also move the computer from one side to the other so the fan's would stop blowing directly at my feet and cool them down to the point of freezing.
Why I didn't do that earlier? No idea realy, but I'll blame my superior laziness and the multitude of cables that would have to be rearranged.
But now, it's clean-ish, and it looks far better than it did just two hours ago.

It's been a while since I wrote anything here, mainly due to not having anything to write, but also slightly due to the mess I've had to endure with my computer.
You see, I updated to Windows 10, and the day after, I could not even enter my computer, or more, enter Windows. It constantly came across an error called CRITICAL_ACCESS_DIED.
After a few days of wrestling with this issue, not finding a way out, I completely wiped the harddrive clean, and reinstalled Windows 7. Might have to wait a while before I install number 10 again.

What else... well there is this thing that happened in my town a few days ago, that I've wanted to adress. It's a horrible thing.
The local IKEA mega store, not one kilometre away from me, was the scene of a gruesome murder.
A woman and her son was murdered by a single man in his mid thirties.
This man had no affiliations with the woman and her son, they did not know each other from earlier. In other words, they just happened to be at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
And why did he kill them?
Well, he had found out earlier in the day, that he would not be allowed to stay in Sweden (according to multiple sources, he's from Eritrea in Africa), as he had a residence permit in Italy, and that he would be deported (he had filed for a permit before and gotten a no then too mind you, so this was the second time he was denied).

My own theory of why he did it, was simple. He didn't want to leave, and knowing that if he commited a crime, and was judged, he would be allowed to stay here, all thou in prison, and when he got out, most likely be allowed to stay forever.
But to top shit off, he also injured himself, or maybe he was injured in the fight at IKEA, I don't know for sure, and is now being treated at our hospital. Maybe he did it to be extra sure to be allowed to stay if he actually did it himself... I don't even dare to speculate about that.
I hope he fucking dies!!
And if he doesn't, that he is sent to Italy, where he has a permit to stay, and they put him in prison there.

Now here's the worst parts about all this.
Most media I've read, are all trying it's best to make it sound like it's so horrible for the immigrants that this deed has happened, and that they now need protection. Not alot is mentioned about the victims or their next of kin. Why aren't they getting any attention?
Also that crime is the lowest it's ever been, and that even thou this violent crime has happened, violent crimes are a rare thing.
No it fucking isn't. It's not safe to walk down the streets anymore here in Sweden, no matter what city you live in.
If you live in Malmö in southern Sweden, the perverbial port to Europe, you are braver then most military personell. They have grenade attacks every other week for fuck sake.
A famous and loved (less now I wager) comedian called Magnus Betnér even posted a damn video on youtube saying that (paraphrasing) "Sweden has never been as safe as it is today".
I took a look at a paper publiched by a non-profit organization that has the number of every crime reported since the 1950's, and just from the year I was born, 1978 to last year, the reported crimes alone, has risen from just over 800 000 to just under 1 500 000.
Is that considered to be safe? Can we say we live in the safest time ever with statistics like that?

We do not live in a safe country any more... far from it.

Perfection

Today, was an absolute gem of a day.
Shorty after I woke up, I tried to install Windows 10, that had completly failed the day before, and before I knew it, was done.
And after updating my drivers to the graphics card, both screens looked as they should as well. Good thing.

Once that was done, I put on my inlines, and went to a place we simple call "gropen", translates to The Hole or The Pit perhaps, anyway, it used to be a place they dug for stones and sand for what ever reason, but something happened, and giant hole, filled up with water, and now, it's a popular place to cool down on hot summer days, like today.
When I arrived, my buddy Henrik with his wife and kid was there (as planed), and we took a few dips, some lemonad and some watermelon.
When we thought we'd had enough, I put the inlines back on and took the lead to their house, spent a few hours, ate some fishfingers, and got a ride home.

Now I'm watching a really good movie on Netflix called The Fighter with Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg. It's good, realy good.

So yea, realy good day.

Tera Guns

Got a bit bored and downloaded TERA again. An MMORPG with some seriously cool stuff... not the best game thou, but still a bunch of awesome stuff... like the new class, the Gunner.

So I made one. A Gunner. And when they say gunner, they mean "Giant-grenade-launcher-class".
The guns are fuckin bigger then the characters!


Not the best picture of the gun, but that giant thing on my characters back... that's a litte more more then half the gun.
And you rarely shoot bullets, it's more like a grenade lobber. I have one skill that allowes me to make the gun act like a machinegun, but I don't use it all that much as I use other skills that makes the ground go boom.


That is the skill "Burst Fire!" that makes it like a machinegun. But beyond that, I'm lobbing grenades, throwing grenades and shooting blue stuff that looks like some kind of carpetbombing. And naturally, I can also shoot straight down, launching me away 10 metres, and harming anything within 5 metres... kind of like standing on a small bomb, and you are the only one that is not harmed.

It's a crazy class, but also rather fun.
