I’m doing the thing where I check Discord on my desktop (there’s no new posts) so I pull my phone out of my pocket and check Discord (of course, there’s no new posts there either). It’s time to get up and step away from the computer for a bit.
There is so much AI witchhunting on twitter these days. I constantly get threads on how to identify AI art. Admittedly I am not helping my feed by clicking on them, but I get curious. The thing is, I commit most of these art foibles myself. Fingers look weird? Structures and accessories have no clea...
My main base is in a hollowed-out hill slightly to the west of my spawn. Everyone likes the hill house. (Well, newbie likes it. HGR was like “you made a dwarf fortress!!” which is close enough in my opinion.) Starting a second playthrough right after the first has been nice because I can arrange eve...
Recently finished a Terraria Calamity playthrough (first time playing non-vanilla) with newbie, HGR, and Dante, whereupon all of us except Dante immediately started solo playthroughs. It’s that good. HGR naturally wants to do a hardcore Revengeance Infernum playthrough. He’s currently doing a regula...
“what’s always changing, but always full?” - HGR a couple days ago, HGR couldn’t find his Calamitas treasure bag and newbie got him to post a screenshot of his inventory to verify that it wasn’t in there. what is all this junk?? why do you have two blue slime banners hotkeyed? also two crimson mushr...
I broke the microwave by cooking too much spaghetti but it’s okay now lol A couple Thursdays ago, I cooked an entire box of spaghetti for dinner (lots of leftovers). Water sloshed over the sides of the tub. That’s not unusual. But I left the next day to go visit my parents, so I didn’t clean it up....
We went to Easter service at the country church. The sermon was on Revelation 5, which is a wild Easter selection, except that the pastor entirely glossed over the import of the passage. According to Revelation 5, because Jesus died and became the salvation of mankind, he is worthy to break the seal...
Quarterly visit to parents, goooo. Minor travel snafu on the way down: the commuter rail was delayed indefinitely due to “police action.” (“Fuckin police,” said numbers.) With no ETA, I didn’t want to risk missing my Amtrak connection, so I ubered downtown. Only cost me $40 more lmao. For dinner, Mo...
I picked a singularly dreary miserable day to come downtown, especially after all the gloriously sunny mornings we’ve had recently. Sometimes that’s just how it goes. It was the art Discord that got me to come out here: I got inspired by flight’s vacation pics and wanted more interesting spaces to d...
Today’s guide that no one asked for: Pricing scries for other people When recommending scries to other people, you should be aware of their budget. Sometimes the person will specify their budget (e.g. “no gem genes please”), but even if they don’t, you can make a strong educated guess.Factors indica...
I haven’t been keeping up with my daily drawing task (been doing it maybe half the time, if that), so I joined a Habitica challenge. It’s exactly the same task—draw something every day—but it comes with a Discord server and a daily sketch channel, and somehow that makes all the difference. It’s neat...
amazing how the Daylight Savings transition has been seamless this spring after falling back, at 11 am: why am I so hungry when it’s not even noon…oh. guess I gotta wait an hour after springing forward, at noon: lunchtime! woo! edit (3/12): *rolls over in bed, checks watch* it’s 8:27 am already?? …m...
