Vacation recap + Third Life
Mar. 12th, 2023 05:46 pmTomorrow work starts again. This was not the greatest vacation tbh, first I had jaw pain and then when that got better I got my period, but it was still at least somewhat relaxing. I failed most of my plans to do anything productive, including tidying up etc., though I did manage to reduce my browser tabs from over 650 (sadly I forgot to check at the beginning) to 170. I also went to two museums, went running with my dad, and I went bouldering with friends today for the first time in about five years. I'm very out of practice.
I did watch some of the things on my "to watch" list. The Life/Traffic Light SMP series has been on my that list for a while now, and thanks to a (spoilery) comment on ff_a I finally watched the first one, Third Life, from Grian's PoV and it was great. I'm always here for tragic loyalty storylines and this one was fantastic. The series takes place in a very small world with about a dozen players and the premise is that everyone only has three lives: on your first and second lives, green and yellow respectively, you are not allowed to kill unless attacked, but on your third life you become hostile and your goal is to attack other players. Only one can survive.
( spoilers )
So to sum up, I loved it. On the one hand I think it would be fun to watch more perspectives from this season (I only found out Scott and Jimmy got married when Scott said his husband died), otoh I want to watch the other seasons and I will probably do that first.
I did already start watching the newest, fourth season that just started, Limited Life, both episodes from Scar's PoV plus two from the Bad Boys. I enjoy the bread bridge and all the alliances so far.
I also watched Blockwars; I'm not entirely sure to what extent the reason why I enjoyed it less than MCC is because I was watching Tubbo and he and his team were not doing well and not having a great time. I did like the obstacles and the party games.
Fortunately, MCC is coming back next weekend! So many great teams, both from an entertainment as well as from a competitive perspective, this is going to be fun.
