Today was kind of a mess. I wound up not going to prerelease despite really wanting to for two reasons that were related to each other in a very stupid way. The first was just me waiting for the GPU to get here. It did arrive today but around like 2PM, which is honestly probably what I should have expected. But I also needed to shower, but I didn't want to shower before getting the GPU, because I wanted to install it right away, and I don't think I need to tell you why I don't wanna handle computer parts with dripping wet hair. I probably should have showered this morning or yesterday tbh but just, bluh.

I wound up playing more Satisfactory, as you might guess. I have gotten sidetracked from finishing oil production with the realization that if I turn the thing on, then I'll run out of power before the fuel generators can turn on. So I had to go and get more power from somewhere, somehow, and it turns out there's 4 coal nodes next to a lake right by the best place on the map to automate smokeless powder, which is something else I wanna do. So most of my time was spent just making a really big coal power plant. I also got geothermal power, and I think the geysers I got are enough power by themselves, but I'm gonna need more power at some point anyway so I might as well make a big coal power plant in a convenient location.
