Cav's Place

Since I’m not doing much else and see no reason to think I’ll get any motivation to write a serious non-personal post tomorrow if I didn’t in about a month if you’re lenient and close to two months otherwise, I guess simply mentioning that I at least managed to finish that sixth Modern Times mission a little while ago will be enough to just say I added something here as a second post of the week. At least the Books category means I don’t have to worry about ending up with more personal posts than non-personal posts anytime soon, and there actually are quite a number of old quick reviews I still have to add there.
But speaking of that mission, it was quite annoying due to a major bug that makes you lose instantly if you don’t wait for quite a while before completing the second main objective. Fortunately, a quick search was enough to tell me I had to disable my cannery, as in fire all workers and block the slots so no others will take their place, until the canned goods index rises above 200 on its own, and I also only lost two game years, since I had saved two years before losing by earning $30000 from canned goods exports too quickly. Granted, lost them three times, since I only searched for a solution after the second such loss and then tried to keep half the workers in my cannery the third time, which was also too much, but the fourth time I waited until that index was 300 and after that it was easy, though I did have to do some quite unpleasant things to keep it above 200 for the required five years.

Otherwise, the issues with Emsisoft that I mentioned earlier this week seem to have been sorted out and they admitted they were from their end, so I just had to wait it out for close to a day and can stay on the “delayed” program version just fine. How long until an upgrade will be pushed for this as well and what that may bring, I don’t know at the moment, but this was so far considered to be particularly stable, so hope that won’t change now that I bought it. Had that experience with Bitdefender way back, after all, when the version released when I finally bought it, after using it “pirated” for some two years and being completely satisfied with it, was a mess.

And before I end this I also want to mention that the back of my neck has been bothering me for a few weeks now. Keeps hurting, especially when I wake up but definitely doesn’t actually stop completely at any point. Or, I mean, it doesn’t hurt on its own, if I don’t do anything that causes it to hurt, but if I turn my head in certain ways it definitely does and I can’t quite figure out exactly what hurts. Doesn’t seem to want to get better on its own though…
