okay you know how my laptop's battery is messed up? so it slows itself down on purpose because it thinks it's always on the verge of dying?

which makes Wolf Quest slow?

well.

Weirdly, that only seems to apply to the very first section of a new game? As soon as it turns to winter, it starts going at normal speed, even when I record. And then all the times after that, even with five wolves running around at all times instead of one or two, it's still staying at a full 30fps, and it would go higher if I would let it.

(I don't like how fast it moves at higher than 30fps lol)

So, something's specifically going on for the first quest in the game that slows it down, that is not happening during any other quests.

I send them a report explaining this lol. Hopefully they can figure out what it is.

anyways I love the saga. It is so fun running around with the teenagers and then young adults.

tagged both by @khaleesi-onthemoon​ and @lancelotmylove​!  (I notice both of them answered GOT for “last show i watched” hehe)

rules: answer 30 questions and tag 10 blogs you would like to get to know better. (A couple of the questions were different between the two, noted as “a” and “b”.)

1. nicknames: Abby or Cata seems mostly what people call me these days. Way back in the 5th or 6th grade one of my classmates called me “Hamster” (because I had a pet hamster) and it was the greatest nickname I ever had.

2. gender: Like I don’t mind marking ‘F’ on forms but sometimes wish I didn’t have to.

3. star sign: Cancer

4. height: 5′9″ with just enough people asking me “are you sure you’re not 5′10″??” to make me question that.

5. time: 1:44am

6. birthday: 7/7

7. favorite band(s): h-how dare you make me pick a favorite?? Epica, Kamelot, Rhapsody (of Fire), The Who, ...I suddenly feel like I’m blanking on some major favorites 0_0

8. favorite solo artist: uh. ???

9. song stuck in my head right now: “The Zoo” - Scorpions

10. last movie I watched: Arrival

11. last show I watched: boku no hero academia (season 1)

12. when I created this blog: June 2012, apparently. What is time even.

13. what I post: hahaha I don’t post, I put things in my drafts (i never should have found that function ever ever ever it’s up to 1762 somebody save me) This was a lot easier when I started and it was just the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Max Payne. Now it’s also MCU, Star Trek, Witcher stuff, puns, lots of animals, SNK, even the occasional Homestuck content. Stuff.

14. last thing I googled: “Scorpions” for the answer above, because I couldn’t remember if they’re just “Scorpions” or if they’re “The Scorpions”. I should know because I just saw them live in concert on Wednesday, but I had to ask google.

15. do I have any other blogs: Vaguely. I tried making a cosplay blog but have not kept up with it ( @ruthlesscata​ )

16. do I get asks: Extremely rarely

17. why did I choose my URL: @truculentbantam​ named me! Way back when she was trying to get me to make an account and I was like “but my usual usernames are taaaaken ;_; halp”

18. followers: 183, now that i’ve purged the latest batch of pornbots (plz stop)

19. following: 201, though many haven’t updated in years ( @deepseafauna​ i miss youuuu)

20a: favorite snack for movie/tv show: This is a really difficult question for some reason. I guess I don’t often snack when watching things and when I do it varies quite a lot? If I’m going to indulge at the theater i’ll get junior mints so there’s that. 20b: favorite colors: Blue and green! I like purples and wear a lot of black too.

21. average hours of sleep: I seem to do best on a solid 8-9 hours but frequently try to make a go of only 5, so let’s say 7. That’s a pretty good average.

23. lucky number: Let’s go with 3

24. instrument: I played piano when I was younger, then started clarinet in middle school and played it through high school, where I’d also sometimes play saxophone (alto, except once a borrowed tenor for some reason). I haven’t played anything in a long while, and I miss it. I’ve always wanted to learn guitar.

25. what am I wearing right now: pajamas.                       ...which tonight are excessively fandom-y. (pj pants with a cap shield design and an attack on titan t-shirt ^^;;)

26a. first celebrity crush: i was going to give a snarky aroace answer but actually... if you count “crush” as “wish i could be friends with”, then Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko on DS9) 26b. how many blankets I sleep with: 1 or 2, depending on the weather. Though I’m also often in my sleeping bag instead (work, travel, camping, etc)

27. dream job: I think I might be doing it guys. I could do without assorted bureaucracy, permit writing, and constantly being on the road, but I wanted to work with animals as a kid and here I am: wildlife biologist.

28. dream trip: I don’t have a dream trip so much as many trips I would love to take. Camping/roadtrip to reprise a canyonlands trips I took with my family when I was young. Camping/roadtrip to explore more of BC and the Yukon. I went to Japan for the first time this year and already I’m like, “But I didn’t get to see this or this” so of course I would like to go back. I want to go back to Costa Rica. There’s so many many places I haven’t been that I would like to see.

29. favorite food: I love food and it’s so hard to choose a favorite. ;_; I have a weakness for pineapple. And also olives I love olives. And minty things. Chocolate. You can do so many delicious different things and call it pizza. I just had a conversation with my sister about how many different varieties of soup there are and how good they are. why is food so good.

30. nationality: usa

22. favorite song: nooooo another ‘favorite’ question!! I will leave you with what has been my song obsession (that I refuse to overplay for myself) for like the past year: “Center of the Universe” - Kamelot
