So on top of all the heart problems I've been having, today I discovered that the computer place that a family member recommended to me, and that I was counting on, advertised this computer, but when I went to buy it, this happened:
I didn't realize that the offered deal was only for those folks that were physically "in store", and as I am in poor health, have no car of my own, and don't live nearby, I guess I'm not going to be getting this computer after all.



I realize that I even made a typo in my final chat entry, as I meant to say, "That Sir, is most unfortunate, and I thank you for your time", which is a polite way of saying, "WTF are you talking about, I have to come in to your store, which is over an hours drive, ONE WAY, and only then can you tell me if the advertised deal is in fact available...What are you smoking?"
My health problems/heart problems are not making AAR writing any easier, and I've no really even played the game much recently, and what I did play, made me realize that I need a new plan of action for the initial decade of gameplay. Even more so, that stuff I tried to start off with last Sunday needs way more build up.
I'm still plugging away, but this weeks TM post is in the works, and it probably will deal with several weeks worth of background (translation, the game isn't even going to be started yet) posts, where I lay out the storyboard for my game. I apologies if this is of no or little interest to most readers, but I want to get my thoughts written down and explain the discrepancies between my story and the game, but I want to tell a tale and use the Stellaris game as a backdrop for graphics and such.
So, while I'm learning how to do everything, I'm going to keep posting and doing mainly storyboard work for now, with perhaps an in-game screenshot or two for lessons learned, or new ideas.
Really disappointed about the advertised computer not able to be purchased online!
