PixlBit

Good morning Pixlpeeps! I have been away for the last week because I have a family member in the hospital and I’ve spent a lot of time there and when I came home it was to eat bad fast food, watch some TV, and fall asleep. I think this maybe the first time in a week that I have actually really used my laptop. I may have powered it up yesterday to sign up for Discord to join the Pixlbit page and search for a cure on how to actually use a Fortnite account I have instead of the one the Switch signed me up for and I can’t get rid of (*hint, you don’t because Epic didn’t think of things like a Logout button). Anyways let’s get started with a combo Game/Quick Hits blog!

 

Fortnite - Switch

So it was free and I figured why not give it a spin? Instead of using the account I had on Epic and just went with the Switch and have it create an account for me and well that was my big mistake. I should have realized that if I wanted to try and use another account later it wasn’t going to happen because Nintendo or Fortnite give you an option to log-out. I realized my mistake when I tried using a nickname I am familiar with and found that it was taken…by my other account. This is what I get for trying to use Epic again after my the last fiasco.

The game itself isn’t bad. Graphics aren’t that great but with the art style who cares. I still have no idea what I am doing but I survived into I think the Top 20. The wall of purple is what eventually took me out because I got lost but hey I’m doing better. It’s free, fun to play on the couch, but if graphics are your thing, play on PC.

 

Mobile Game Madness

Marvel Super Heroes: I got fed up with my guild jumping in on a raid and not doing a damn thing so I voiced my opinion in the chat. I basically said that if people were going to jump into a raid at least contribute so we all can get better items. Well after that I’ve played two raid missions and well I was the only person. Whatever. People don’t want items to level up their characters than fine. I will just keep grinding and upgrading my squad.

 

There is a new Heroes event coming up and Marvel has been giving away character shards

I’m not complaining and one of my lesser characters level was raised from a 1 star to 2 star. There is also a return to collect Iron Man shards but you have to use SHIELD characters. I had to grind a bit to get two more SHIELD characters that I won’t use after the event because they are not strong, so this Iron Man event is going to be useless for me but I will be able to collect some shards and hopefully when it comes around again I should be able to unlock him.

 

Disney Heroes: In this guild the people are active and are actually working to unlock stuff, which is good. I unlocked a character and upgrade today: Wall-E, and I think a third star for one of my characters. I am one hundred tokens away from unlocking another character but I need to win some fights in the Coliseum but wins there are few and far between.

 

I was #1 for a short time. WOO HOO!

Apparently a year or two ago I played a Star Wars game like Marvel Super Heroes, and Disney Heroes. I forgot what the game is called but when I installed it my characters were in the high 40s, I had a ton of gold, premium currency, whatever the currency that sits between gold and premium and some other stuff. I did quite a bit of upgrading, unlocked new stuff, and took part in a raid where you take down a Rancor (I got my behind handed to me). I play this once or twice a day.

 

Quick Hits!

So I’ve had a steady diet of Hospital Cafeteria food which usually is a cheeseburger, and either some kind of grilled cauliflower and broccoli (really good), mashed potatoes, or last night’s option garlic potato wedges that were tasteless. I hit the point where the chef sees me and says “cheeseburger boss?” I pretend to look around but he knows I’m not going for the stale pizza or pork chops.

 

While I am here I did some things:

1. I called the maternity ward “the baby car lot” because sometimes they have the babies in room with big window parked in neat rows.
2. The vending machines are airport priced
3. There is a nice lady who runs the gift shop
4. I tried to play Fortnite on the Hosptial WiFi but it wasn’t happening.
5. This is easily the most use I’ve gotten out of my iPad

 

Chris Reads

I am 65% finished with Dan Brown’s Deception Point and hot damn this should be a movie. I should be done by next week and then I need to find another book. Between reading on the iPad, the Android Tablet, and sometimes the phone, I’m on a good pace in my reading.

 

Pickups

Games

iPad freebie

 

I haven’t tried it yet, but it was free so why not add it to the library and give it a spin later.

 

Music

Some pickups from the mall. First the mom & pop shop

 

The Buy 5 Get 3 $1.99 wall

 

And these are some other CDs. The top two are $1.99, and Us3 Greatest Hits/Remix album was .99 and the Elvis Vs JXL Little Less Conversation CD Single was .99

 

Last album is from Barnes & Noble and it’s to replace a digital copy of the album I currently have

 

I like SZA and this album is solid. At some point I really need to get back to updating my CD list.

Alright Pixlpeeps I need to get going. I need to run some errands before I make another trip to the hospital and have another cheeseburger and a somewhat healthy side option. Have a good weekend!

 

That’s all for now, more later!
