another day in the office

Once again, it’s just me and the security desk guy on this floor. It’s a ratio of 1:1. I feel very secure. Sometimes one of the patrolling guards stops by the security desk to chat, and then it’s 2:1. You won’t find better security than this anywhere. I’m quite sleepy. There’s a post-it note diagram...

badgergate

On May 6, Wolvden released the long-awaited badger base, a muted medium III base with a craftable app. This was teased several months earlier in an update poll, so people had farmed plenty of badger trophies, but the recipe was in high demand. A previously unknown user named White Wiccan claimed to ...

a tragedy unfolds within the halls of asphodelos

Here’s the tragedy: After we beat Hesperos I, we paused for a bathroom/drink break, and newbie was afk for 10 minutes and got kicked from the instance. So when he returned a minute later, we had to redo Hesperos I. You hate to see it. On the plus side, my parse is improving. I don’t feel like I’m do...

big brawl in da club

Something new to get used to: Tuesdays are short days. I’ve grown accustomed to spending the time from around 10:30 pm to midnight walking (while reading Kindle books, playing Artifracture, etc.), and then after midnight I catch up on work, do my remaining Habitica dailies, and head to bed past 2 am...

there is but one master in asphodelos

“Fuck, I forgot to review the doc,” said newbie as we convened for raid last week. “Me too,” said numbers. We’re down to one raid day a weekend, since Silver can’t make Saturdays (not sure if this is a short- or long-term thing). Last Sunday we were at enrage on Hesperos I, but all our deep runs wer...

achievers and ornaments

I’m still enjoying Flight Rising, although the gameplay makes me appreciate Wolvden more. In Wolvden, your wolves matter: your pack leader fights enemies, your hunters bring back food, your pupsitters take care of pups, etc. In Flight Rising, your dragons are mostly incidental to the gameplay. It’s ...

pan-de-mo-ni-um

We’re all geared up and ready to fight Hesperos, final boss of the raid tier. “I have 600 legs,” announced Kyle. “That’s a lot of legs,” said numbers. (But first, reclear zone: ONE PULL, ONE KILL on Phoinix. “We’re so good at this game!!” said newbie. Sadly I ate a pie and died and wound up with a 6...

the triumphant return of hgr

IT’S RAID FEATURING HGR WOO (We were anticipating him being out for weeks. So glad he’s okay!) Silver/Luis couldn’t make Saturday, and Sunday was mostly a re-clear day. But hey, parse redemption arc! On Eric, the whole party parsed blue except numbers, who died. I tied my best with 54%. On hippo, I ...

final exaltation

We finally did it. We killed a bird. Last week was supposed to be the week. We came close: we saw our first enrage at 3%. On the very next run, we wiped at first tethers. “From the alpha to the omega,” said HGR. We later got another enrage at 10%, but no clear. This Saturday was destined to be a fra...

flight rising

A bunch of people have been talking about Flight Rising lately, so I decided to try it out. A few thoughts: Pros of Flight Rising:Colorful! Even your starting dragon can be decked out in jade and denim (like mine). The auction house is a riot of color; every pup is bold and vibrant. It’s not like Wo...

life's agonies

“This weekend we shall kill a bird,” said numbers when he sent out the roll call for this weekend’s raid. Spoilers: we did not kill a bird. Saturday was another backslide arc, which is honestly redundant/poor plotting and smacks of filler. It took us nearly an hour to re-clear P1S. We just forgot ev...
