Agents of SHIELD 2-03

I watched last week's Agents of SHIELD.
I forgot I hadn't until now. Which is a bit of a turn around after waiting expectantly between seasons.
It was quite good. Which is sort of a problem. Because it was quite good if I decide to not care about the things they don't care about, and to care about a lot of straight white men the story has decided are important. Plus the playing along with the baseline politics and solving things with violence.
So I'm interested, but in a bad aftertaste sort of way.


this is likely another show I'll stop reviewing until I can say something nice about it.

Sims

Spent much of the day playing Sims 3. I spent my Sims points, so now my sims can have tablet computers, chickens, and archery. These being important additions. So I made a Clint Barton and set him on the path to becoming an international super spy. He listens to tabcasts for skills, does all the archery, and sometimes fights the angry chicken. I don't know what I was expecting when I gave sims chickens but it was not an angry chicken with glowing eyes that you can get in fights with.

So now I want to add the rest of the Avengers, except I don't see how in Sims 3. In Sims 2 I had a household of Avengers that I put together from three houses in a custom town. But if there's a way to add more houses to the same town I already started I am not seeing it. I shall poke again later. But I might have to start Clint and his housemates over again.



I'm kind of bored of Sims but not as bored as I am of all the other games. I'm bored kind of pervasively.

Probably I should spend more time having RL social contact and less time with Sims.
People can be quite nice, when contact happens.
I should get on with that.


well, I should sleep, and then when it is day time get on with that.

Take Away Day and Agents of SHIELD

Agents of SHIELD: Still good, still not what I want from it.
I'm worried for Coulson but I'm more worried for what the writers will do and how ablist it's likely to be.

Take Away Day: Has been complicated three weeks now because phoning the take away just rings twice then goes beep beep beep like the engaged tone. But today I thought to try my mobile phone, which got through, just had such a crappy signal nothing was audible (as is usual from in here). So then I phoned mum to ask her to phone the take away. But mum wanted take away, so she volunteered to go walk to it. Only then she remembered she doesn't want to go past the clubs after dark, so she had the bright idea to have it all delivered here, so she phoned them and then came out to my flat to pick up her half. So that... worked.

It's a bit of a run around for food though.

But why on earth would there be a phone number I cannot contact, only one number, and only from one number?

That's just weird.



I spent most of the afternoon in Sims again, so by the time Agents of SHIELD was on Sim Clint and Sim Phil were chatting each other up, which was much more interesting. The Avengers have moved in with Clint now. Steve and Natasha kind of started dating when I wasn't looking? I mean I sent them on a date but they'd already decided to <3 each other. Rhodey and Pepper are also into each other but I told them to sit down and read up on their skills instead. Bucky and Tony are each doing their own thing though, thankfully, that would be weird.

So now I have a house full of Avengers and know how to make new Sims and merge households in the Edit Town thing. Which is handy. I'll probably populate one town with all my games I got bored of. Or the ones that crashed a lot, but that might not be a good idea, that might make a new more crashing game. That would be not so good.

I'll probably go back to that. It's going to be much trickier getting them all to being CEO or International Superspy or whatever. Also Steve has decided to go into politics, but his lifetime goal is to be best at art and guitar. It's either art and guitar or art plus photography and actually taking photographs crashes the game a lot so we shall have a musical Steve Rogers.



... this is probably kind of part of why I'm disatisfied with TV lately? Because clearly TV is prettier and has better plots, but it also does things I didn't tell it to, and there's all these entertainment options where they will do only what I tell them to, which seems much better.
