Sleep? Who needs sleep?

Daylight Savings Time was the past weekend. As usual, I was at work. Because the clocks skipped ahead when we were at lunch, we just left an hour later than normal. So daylight savings meant that I just lost an hour of my ‘afternoon’ when I got home from work. What this means is that the real afternoon has a lot more sunshine. And given that spring is around the corner, the sun is now directly shining into my room. Who needs sleep? I must certainly not. It’s a good thing I’m off tonight, or I’d be a zombie….

It’s only weather and it will pass in due time. I guess I should get up and enjoy that yellow UFO in the sky while I can. All Hail Our Extraterrestrial Overlords….

About Flight Simulator….

I’ll admit it. I still have a preference for Flight Stimulator X. I still occasionally play Flight Stimulator 2004, but FSX is still my preferred game when I fly the virtual skies. I like that my Cyborg V.1 josytick immidiately works with them, so I can just take off and go.

Then I downloaded Flight Stimulator 2020 from Steam. And my joystick wouldn’t work with it. Oh well. I kept flying FSX. And then tonight, I tried it again. This time I used my XBOX controller (which I also bought a wireless adapter for. Yes I know the link I’ve given has them available together, but I had to buy them separately). And this time, I finally achieved stable ‘flight’ with it. And I also notice that it renders my workplace accurately. However there is a reason why I’m playing a PC flight simulator and not flying in real life. I don’t think my boss would appreciate me bouncing off the roof of the building in real life and then crashing behind it…..

Now, about the Joystick. After finishing up my rebuild last week, and calling out due to weather (I’m not that stupid when the roads are shit), I was trying to get my joystick to work with MechWarrior 4. After multiple attempts at troubleshooting failed, I found another one on eBay, and assuming a major hardware failure, I ordered it. And right after I finalized the sale, guess what started working again. Oh well. It’ll be a backup then until the other one dies….
