winter safety & hot soup

Roommate says it’s safer to be outside in winter. Reasoning: When it’s cold, people don’t feel like going outside, so they stay home and don’t shoot anyone. It’s got a certain logic to it. However, consider that I might not want to be outside either. The weather has been a roller coaster this month....

witness true mastery before your end

We beat Hegemone! Not too surprising, I guess, since we hit enrage twice last session. Unfortunately, I died and got a 1% parse. It was during Cachexia II; I got the stack marker and thought it was a spread marker, and ran off to the spread tile (with a split second of confusion: “why is numbers in ...

in which the information department is a continuous tire fire

HGR’s commentary: “In this game, all plants are fuckers.” To back up a bit: (Lobotomy Corporation gameplay spoilers below) . . . . . On day 6, my abnormality was Grave of Cherry Blossoms, who, as discussed, is kind of an asshole. He’s workable though. Employees get hypnotized, you spamclick them, th...

scattershot

Currently playing a whole bunch of games scattershot, which I suppose is better than not playing them at all. === FFXIV: Okay, I’m putting this on the list a bit prospectively. I really need to catch up on the MSQ. I’m midway through the previous patch’s content, which is like months behind. I have ...

starving stampede

Canonically, here’s what happened: We beat Proto Carbuncle on Sunday. Yoshi P saw my logs and he was like “oh no!!” and in Monday’s patch he put in buffs for machinist. ty yoshi p “Those sure are some patch note buffs,” said Luis. “Casters and Achaius rejoice.” numbers said, “By the time we get to P...

people-watching

I’m cold. I opted to wear my medium coat today, under the logic that it’s only October, and if I upgrade to my heavy winter coat now, there’ll be nothing to upgrade to later. However: I’m now cold. === Customer 1: Rude Dude I was in line for lunch when a guy cut in front of me while talking on his c...

the endless void of space

Woke up in utter blackness, surrounded by the endless void of space. My alarm clock said it was 6:45 am. Big BS. It turned out there was a rainstorm outside, which is why it was so dark. By the time I got to the train platform, my socks and lower pant legs were soaked, as was my right coat sleeve (d...

entity authorization & multiworld co-op

Been procrastinating on my current project. It’s an interesting project, but man, I have no energy lately. The clock is ticking. Nothing much else going on. I did two loads of laundry in the morning (it would’ve been one load, but some of my pants came out heavily streaked with soap, necessitating a...

a walk and the passage of time

Got to work this morning and tried to use my house key on the office door. Not the first time I’ve done this in recent months. Gonna chalk it up to muscle memory instead of a weird Freudian slip. At lunchtime I took a walk and was newly struck by how magnificent this city is. I used to do this walk ...

revolving door

I’ve got mixed feelings about Gloomhaven’s retirement mechanic. On the one hand, it prevents anyone from being stuck in a class they don’t like (tinkerer). It provides things to unlock (we love unlocking things) and keeps the gameplay fresh from both an individual and team standpoint, since the team...
