It keeps you from getting lost when traveling the digital plane. Today I came across three regional aberations that call themselves games. They are, of course, live alogrithms who need a creative input to expand their functionality - to grow, in other words. I played three of them. I wonder how the results changed the cosmic data stream?

Microsoft Solitaire Collection

I've tried a few times to get all the Daily Challenges but always got hung up on one of them. There is a challenge for each of the five variations of solitaire. I also tried the Events section. I'm not sure what it is, but I played several challenges in some sort of series. I don't know what it leads up to yet. I only play a round or two of a particular challenge at a time. I don't want to get lost in it when I'm at home - lose my connection with the Micro Hex Tether, you know. 

Hexen

 I had the N64 set up all month but only just got to it today. I had to borrow a game from my friend Mark because I don't have any at the moment. I traded them all a few years ago thinking I was done with it. Well, I'm not, and I'm back to square one. It's fine. I played Hexen because it was a favorite back in the 90s. It's a dark fantasy FPS. I always choose the mage. I picked up the freeze spell a few levels in. It was fun to freeze these upright walking dragons. I got real tired of the puzzles, though. You have to find levers to pull and maybe do someting in sequence. I don't know. I was in no mood. I just wanted to run around and freeze two-headed orcs and firebirds.

Farm Together

I've gone farmhand crazy. I have four of them now in each corner of my farmland and I'm working on a fifth. I have a teleporter near each and dart around them when there is planting to be done. It works great. I do almost all my planting that way now. With my free time, I spent most of it feeding animals and planting trees and flowers. I also started a Farmhouse right behind my Treehouse. I really want to get to the train station and use a train to get around, but I think you have to be level 50 or 60 to get it. I'm level 35. It's super fun though. I'm taking the maximum number of quests and knocking them off as quickly as possible. Mark's focusing on land aquisition. You need lots of diamonds for that which you get from selling produce; so he's planting huge tracks of land. It's neat to see it as I look over from my console. 

 It'll be August tomorrow, so for my retro gaming, I'm moving on to the years 2000-2004. I'm breaking out the PS2 and play some of my collection I haven't gotten to in a long while. Tomorrow it's going to be Summoner.
