Well this sessions not gone well. I felt like I was in some kinda awful Finnish knockoff of Edge of Tomorrow I found out you get the wristwatch if you drive up to this dance pavilion, which I didnt even know about, and fight this drunk guy that sometimes shows up there, and if you knock him out you can take his watch, so I thought.......well I'll go do that, what could possibly go wrong??
Attempt 1: set out in my car for a nice drive up to the pavilion, and a little ways out, I hear something fall off the car, and the red light pops on my dash, which means alternator is not charging the battery...... So i pull over, pop the hood, my belt had snapped. DAMNIT. Didnt think to put my spare or my tools in the car before I left..... screw it, I restarted the game, since I had saved right before I left.
Attempt 2: This time, loaded up my spare belt and tools, set off on my way again, sure enough, after a while, belt popped again, so I pulled over, and replaced the belt, and went on my way. While I was driving thru town where the store is, there were a couple hooligans sitting in front of the store in their cars. I drove past, thought nothing of it, and before i knew it, i looked in my rear view mirror and one of them was right on top me, slammed into the back of my car, knocked my bumper and trunk off. I stopped, and proceeded to punch and push his car (almost flipped it over a couple times) until he finally drove away. I didn't know what kinda damage had been done, so........screw it, restarted the game again.
Attempt 3: Changed my belt BEFORE I left this time, threw my tools in the car just in case anything else.......set off on my way again, took a DIFFERENT route to get to the pavilion, avoiding the town this time, actually got there.....and was early. Still had some time to kill before they opened up the pavilion, so I wandered around because that area is another spot where a wrecked car might spawn. Didnt find any wrecked cars, walked back to the pavilion which was open now, band was playing, people were dancing...........but no drunk guy to fight. Sigh. Got back into my car, drove back into town to the store so I could sleep on the couch I placed there just for situations like this, because it was already near midnight and my fatigue was about maxed out. Got a good sleep, woke back up, popped a breakfast beer and got back in my car to drive home..........i was just about to turn onto the highway, when the BUS came flying around the corner and slammed into me, completely knocking me off the road and the force was enough to pop both my doors open...... Again, not sure what kinda damage that woulda done............ SCREW IT, RESTART!!
I DID learn tho you can actually cook sausages! and when you do they do reduce your stress when you eat them, so I may use that to try and cut back on my smoking.......but probably not.
Also, I think my starter might be going because a couple times now I've tried to start the car and then it just grinds and nothing. Soooooo I guess i'll give up on trying to punch out a drunk for his watch and see if I can get that off and replaced before it leaves me stranded somewhere.
