Month: December 2019

Another decade gone and the next one will begin soon

by Alxala

My family and I were enjoying some delicious pizza for dinner as our celebration for New Year’s Eve. After we’re all finished with dinner I got three new games added to my library from the Steam Winter Sale for a total of almost 32 dollars, then I spent the rest of the Steam money on good Team Fortress 2 fashion equipment and other things since I’ve been playing that game lately.

And now that I got all the important things out of the way, I will now show you Slackers my latest videos that I uploaded on YouTube last night. This first is my cat Stewie chasing around a toy string and playing with it:

Then this next one is a short nature-related video tiny red bug on a journey in a puffball of a seeding dandelion, and then the bug falls off the dandelion at the very end:

Anyways, now let’s hope that 2020 will be a good year and U.S. President #46 will be better than the last one.

Monday Evening Open Thread

by Alxala

My sister Tomala made some biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and tri tip steak for breakfast earlier this morning:

She also made hot white watermelon tea to go along with our breakfast:

Then I jumped back into playing some more Borderlands 2 this evening just to up myself a bit, and so far I’m getting closer to Level 38 as Mechromancer. 🙂 After I got done playing, I used a little bit of Borderlands 2 video footage in Shotcut to make an animated GIF of a Spiderant Queen minding its own business when suddenly it got blown up by a single sniper bullet up its thorax:

Either way, my Dad will go to the bank tomorrow to pick up some money and then my dad and I will run over to Fred Meyer to do our soda can deposit so I can put two-thirds of my cash in my Steam wallet to buy some cool games in the Steam Winter Sale and keep one-third of my money in the bank.

Christmas Time has arrived!

by Alxala

We had a friendly elderly guest of ours coming over to our house this evening for a visit, and we were chowing down some delicious Christmas dinner which is Tri Tip roast beef with baked potatoes, salad, dinner rolls, corn and artichoke casserole:

After we’re all done eating dinner we decided to celebrate the holiday by drinking a good round of B-52 Bomber cocktails, and then our guest sent us some presents that contain candy and gift cards. Not only did I get the Christmas candy and a $25 VISA gift card, I also got a brand new handheld flashlight. 🙂

And now for no weird reason here’s a TF2 screenshot that I took and made it out of something for the holiday:

TF2 Winter 2019 Updatification

by Alxala

I sold my Smissmas 2019 cosmetic cases and other pieces of junk from my TF2 inventory and spent just enough Steam money to buy a Skullbrero, a sombrero with skull patterns, for the Pyro:

And not only did get that from the market, I also got the diamond eyes, also for the Pyro, that have Australium Gold paint applied to it. Can’t wait to buy more stuff from the market after I get some games from this year’s Steam Winter Sale. 🙂
