A little spit and polish

All of Thief’s main chapters as well as The Bank Heist are catalogued and labeled, the Collectibles and nearly all of the Documents are organized and labeled, and the City is now available too! I still need to double-check and label the section devoted to the City after Chapter 2 but the photos are there for the viewing, and of the Documents, I’m down to finding only 5 newspapers that I’m missing. Then, for Thief, only the challenge maps remain!

I used the native WordPress gallery for Dishonored’s pages and only started fiddling with gallery alternatives on Thief pages, but now that I’ve gotten NextGen Gallery (mostly) figured out I’ve taken down all the old galleries and replaced them with the new ones. All of the Dishonored missions, the Hound Pits Pub, and the Charms & Runes pages are updated and re-labeled. Some of the pages were missing content after I deleted a batch of photos I shouldn’t have and the old galleries made navigation a headache by cluttering up the Back button in browsers. Not a problem now!

I’ve started collecting screenshots from the first mission of Dishonored’s Knife of Dunwall DLC. In addition to my chores in Thief, I may soon start to catalogue Dishonored’s documents.

Thief Update (and this one’s massive)

For today’s long overdue Thief update, all chapters and side-missions, as well as the prologue, are complete and pictures organized on their pages. I’m still filling in many of the details, like names and values, but they’re perfectly usable as they are. The City is the only major chunk left to do (and maybe the Bank?), and Basso’s jobs will be detailed there instead of separately.

Between the many, many, many IRL distractions thrown my way, the following is what most of my free time spent has looked like: 20160508151523_1

And it still took me forever and a half. Maybe I should start locking my door.

On another (somewhat) unrelated note, dog-sitting other people’s fur babies is great way to gain a deeper appreciation for your own dogs’ good behavior. Dog-sitting for two somewhat particular dog moms/dads in a row will have you singing your pets’ praises as you collapse onto the nearest couch; “Oh, thank God you are so easy I love you come here my little fluffbutts.”

(6/2/16) UPDATE: All chapters labelled and totaled up, side missions totaled up but unlabeled, The Bank Heist explored and now to be photoed, and The City between Chapters 1 and 2 has been photoed and should be up in the next few days.

This week has involved way too much mental math–which is not my forte–because I was too stubborn to take the time to write everything down. I think I spent as much time correcting my miscalculations as I would have taken to write up notes. Well, I saved a few sheets of paper and got plenty of math practice, so I think it has all worked out in the end! Once you get past the annoyance of correcting a mistake for the third time, it was kind of a nice brain stretch, heh.

Short Hiatus

I’ve been down with a nasty flu bug for the last few days and consequently have accomplished very little. I had completed the Prologue and Chapter 1 of Thief but I wasn’t satisfied with the shots. I got sick at the same time and so I haven’t been able to recreate them yet. By this weekend, I’ll be traveling and expect to be further interrupted for at least a week. I’m disappointed at how little I got done before I leave town, but life happens so… *shrug*
