winter adventures, cont.

It started snowing Saturday morning and continued all day. We went out midmorning for a pokemon gym run (I suggested walking, but no one else was up for it) and the roads were a mess. Mom skidded gingerly around every corner. All the local drivers were zipping by like it was a clear summer day, and ...

frolic and detour

Trip time! Like most trips, it began with a trip down to my parents. I came down Thursday afternoon, got a haircut, and had dinner at a Thai restaurant with Dad (Mom was working late). The next day mostly consisted of chilling out, catching pokemon with Dad, and sampling snacks (sambal prawn rolls, ...

business blob

Elevators are fixed, so it’s back to the office. I’m weirdly hyped about this. I wanted a day on the town and time at my desk without distractions. It’s good to get out of the house sometimes, you know? Also I had business to take care of: Business item #1: New security keycard: Two weeks ago, I dis...

Cycling the power worked temporarily (computer turned on, no error messages, I ...

with each bite does your sanity die

“It’s like evil Pringles,” said numbers. “Once you pop, you can’t stop popping…but your sanity dies…or something.” We’re back to progging Agdistis. I’ve been frustrated because it feels like everyone else knows what they’re doing, while I’m always slow to catch on and dragging down the team. After t...

new year’s resolution: art

Spent some time looking over my sketchbooks from 2021 and 2022, so here’s a late New Year’s resolution: I’m going to do more art this year.More art related to whatever I’m doing currently. I like the quasi-journal nature of my sketchbook—raid diagrams and doodles, sketches inspired by whatever I’m p...

takeout woes

Saw Mack as I was getting on the elevator this morning. Guess we’re both still here, eh? Also, Brandon’s a senior in high school? Really?? He’s currently applying to college. Best of luck—I never got to really hang out with him but I was always rooting for him, you know. Getting lunch around here co...

outside

Saw a post on Twitter in which someone logged how many times they went outside (among other activities) in 2022, and it made me think, how many times do I go outside in a year?On a typical day, I go outside exactly once for my daily walk to the train station and back. On rare occasions due to inclem...

the great storm of 2022, cont.

It’s warm in the kitchen in the morning sun. I don’t entirely understand how this works. Obviously the sun warms things up. But my thermostat is set to a constant 65 degrees. I would expect the sun’s warmth to reduce the burden on my furnace, meaning it has to expend less fuel to maintain the same t...

the great storm of 2022

Rare footage of me leaving the house before noon on a non-office, non-raid day. We’re having a winter storm this afternoon, so I figured I’d better take my daily walk before the rush. Serious business. It’s 30 degrees right now, but it’s supposed to plunge to -8 overnight. The office is officially c...

what became of the keyward

On Saturday we planned to convene a couple hours early and have a short session because England’s World Cup match was in the afternoon. But Kan didn’t show up. Instead of Abyssos, we seven-manned Titan Savage unsynced to farm the mount. The Titan fight is so good and I remember none of it and got pu...

lorwolf

Lorwolf Early Access opened up last week, and a bunch of us from WD chat are trying it out. I’m enjoying it because it’s a group activity, and because I can click on things and watch numbers go up, but I don’t think it’s actually a good game. Gameplay: There’s a story campaign, but the writing is (t...
