Screwdrivers, Subnautica Below Zero - 2024-05-19 - TOGoS's Journal

I had a dream that I was over at your place helping you install a big LED light fixture for your plants, mainly because you didn't have the right screwdriver. Ben really wanted to lend me this wide, sharp flathead that could be pounded into screw heads that were stripped, and I was like "we don't need that for this project" (the light fixture screws needed a phillips-ish bit, and weren't [yet] stripped), but realizing that I could use it to remove one of the screws in my power planer whose drive I totally stripped the other day.

Also I was trying to get all cuddly on you even though "that just makes everything complicated".

Also stuff about Subnautica Below Zero.

Me to Renee

The part about Subnautica had me bouncing around at the bottom in my PRAWN suit, maybe 150-200m down. It was dark but there were orange glowy things (not quite like the glowing orange 'flowering spore's from the real game; these were larger and more blobby). I realized that I was running out of air and quickly made it back to my suit, though in my dream the air supply in the suit was also pretty limited, so I was still in a rush to get back to the surface. It seemed that I had wandered under an ice shelf, so I had a bit of a freakout moment until I sighted a small bit of open water up above me. But then as I reached the opening I found that there were some blobby things grabbing at my suit and making it hard to get through.

Just before I woke up there was a part where I was walking down Reetz Rd as if back to my house from dinner at the rents', and I was thinking about my plan to join Planet Fitness again, which I'd meant to do in early January, but now it was late January, and oh no, it's...March...May! What ever happened to the time‽

And then I was back at the dinner table, talking about how the time between January and May had seemed to disappear. Dawne and Jason and Dad and Heather were all back in Heather's room. And then I noticed that my mom was sitting near me, and she seemed to be the only one listening to what I was saying, so I continued telling her about it while the others made a ruckus.
