May 2022

Another month of little to no gaming . . . except Coloring Pixels.
But, good thing is, I’m almost done with my senior thesis! After I complete that, and another paper that’s due 8th of June, I will be officially done with my bachelor’s degree.

Half-Life 2

Cozy Grove

149.1 hours
66 of 70 achievements
Half-Life 2

Coloring Pixels

134.1 hours
243 of 1096 achievements

I actually made a lot of progress this month! Completed . . . 8 different images, woo!
But most of my time in Coloring Pixels this month went into r/Place pack, which is proving to be difficult to progress in. I was hoping to complete the first image in May, but not even that got done. Still, for fun purposes, here's my progress at the end of May: https://imgur.com/a/FB1Neak

Some gaming is better than no gaming! Also congratulations on almost getting your bachelor’s degree! Fight!
Cozy grove still looks so cute, I await the day I add it to my unending backlog.

aonrao

Thank you! I’ve been working really hard on it haha.
Cozy Grove is cute, but at this point I’m a bit tired of it, so I might take some time off. Those final achievements are taking some time.

Jaded

Yay you are so close to finishing!
Gaming definitely doesn’t take priority at this stage haha

aonrao

Yeah. Almost there!
And I still haven’t replaced my old laptop, so I can’t play much even if I wanted to :(

All hail our lord and savior, Coloring Pixels!

The r/place DLC has been both a blessing and a curse… I somehow managed to put in 100+ hours in May just to make progress in it… somehow got halfway through and am slowly but surely running out of things to listen to while I color xD

aonrao

Oh wow, you are determined! Working on that one single image was enough for me lmao. It’ll probably be a few years before I can be done with r/Place and by that time they will have added like, 20-30 more DLCs, so… haha

Amitte

Oh wow, you are determined!

Nah, just desperate to stay on top of things, since it’s the only one of those free games I’ve been able to keep up with most of the time :D Thanks for the compliment, though :)

It’ll probably be a few years before I can be done with r/Place and by that time they will have added like, 20-30 more DLCs, so…

Even though realistically I know they release new packs about every three weeks, I do feel like that too… ^^;

aonrao

But I’m already way behind the packs, that’s why I feel like it’s impossible to catch up :P
Which pack is your favorite so far?

But I’m already way behind the packs, that’s why I feel like it’s impossible to catch up :P

Hey, don’t worry! There’s at least one pack that was so simple people actually got angry about it xD

Which pack is your favorite so far?

Gosh, I never really thought about it… well, looks-wise, anything that’s realistic enough is great. As for coloring… I can’t stand realistic images. There’s just too much jumping around with different shades of the same colors, it’s unbearable :’D
I suppose Tarot, one of the more recent ones, was nice? It got repetitive, using the same few colors in each image over and over again, but at the end of the day, the whole set has a stylish look to it.

aonrao

The realistic images kill me … they’re so hard to color OMG. Even right now the only reason I’m not done with Animals pack is because of the Snow Leopard and the Clown Fish (?) one. I started SL like, months ago… and still not done because it’s basically a different color for every single pixel.

Also people will get angry about anything haha. I saw r/Place made them angry because it’s so big and Tarot because it’s repetitive. :P

Amitte

I absolutely loathed the Clownfish image! I completely forgot most of the images that appeared in the game, but when I looked back at that one, I recalled the struggle :’)

I saw r/Place made them angry because it’s so big

Not to mention that one guy who got mad at them for “not rating the DLC appropriately” (since there’s foul language in a few parts), even though they explicitly mentioned that they made it free because of that.

aonrao

I think they made it a DLC because of the language. It was going to be free, but it needs to be downloaded/added to the account manually because of that. Lmao people

… I haven’t started Clownfish one yet and I’m dreading it… first need to finish snow leopard before I can get there tho. :p

Amitte

Lmao people

That’s pretty much the one and only appropriate response! I’ve been watching a thread centered around OP being a pissy little baby about the fact that some people don’t feel like waiting to get an achievement for a month… can’t tell whether to laugh or cry…

first need to finish snow leopard before I can get there tho. :p

Well, good luck! Since you’ve added me to your friends list again, I’ve been seeing you play :D

aonrao

I don’t know how I removed you, tbh! I’ve been trying to figure out where my friend who plays a lot of CP went for a while now!! I think it was by accident or maybe I forgot your Steam nickname and didn’t realize it’s you.

I think people take games too seriously sometimes … o.o

Also did you see? They announced a new DLC coming in a few days !! And here I am still trying to finish “Community 3” and “Community 4” LOL.

Amitte

I don’t know how I removed you, tbh!

At this point, who even knows if it wasn’t me that removed you! Either way, it’s totally cool :D and sweet that you’ve remembered me for playing so much Coloring Pixels, lol

Also did you see? They announced a new DLC coming in a few days !!

Somehow I didn’t get the update about it, but now that you told me, I did! For some reason I thought they released a pack every three weeks, they claim they release one every five weeks, but this one is coming out four weeks after the previous one… thinking
