artfight 2020 in review

Artfight is over! Maybe. Probably. The site was down all morning while I was trying to post my last drawing, and lots of people were complaining, but Artfight staff refused to acknowledge the downtime let alone announce an extension, so I guess we're done.  (edit (1:50 pm): They just announced...

fun in the sun

S U M M E R V A C A T I O N It's amazing how being stuck inside for months can make a weekend trip downstate to visit my parents into the Event of the Summer. It's also amazing how well the Event of the Summer works as motivation. By 3:30 p.m. on Friday, I had showered, packed, done all my work ...

clears don't exiiiist

Over on board 8, NFUN is running a character battle tournament. He held nominations like two years ago, but never got around to running the tourney until now. It's been a pretty lowkey affair (single-digit votals, no drama) but still nostalgic. Wednesday's match was Ushiromiya Battler (Kan's nom) ...

walmart log (not actually a log)

Since I'm stuck at home ordering curbside delivery from Walmart for the foreseeable future, I decided to start a thing where I order at least one new item every time and post mini-reviews. This place has so much more variety than the local grocery, I want to take advantage of it, but it's harder wit...

the revenge of ramuh

As raid time drew near, HGR said, "I think we're overdue for someone randomly being an hour late." As it turned out, it was Silver, and he was only 40 minutes late. "Alarm," he explained. "Damn the patriots," said HGR. "Watch less vtubers at 6 am," Luis told him. "Hey," said newbie, "I was w...

futbol furor

newbie is worried about meeting dps requirements for E6-8. He was considering switching to black mage. I'm of two minds about it. On the one hand, black mage was my first class. I dropped it because I didn't enjoy the playstyle (I got annoyed every single time I had to move), but I still have a soft...

white stone BOOM BOOM

July 7 – For the past few weeks, people have been setting off fireworks on a nightly basis. This culminated on July 4, with near-constant fireworks from around 6 pm until I went to bed at 2 am. It seemed like way more than usual. My roommate theorized that they were having a contest to see who could...

over and over doth lightning strike thee

(and over, and over, and...) You gotta feel a little bad for Ramuh. He ordered four spears online from Big Blob's Great Weapon Shop, and hungry blob handled the delivery and broke one of them, so when Ramuh stuck them at the four corners of the field there was a safe corner. Ramuh was furious. He ...

junk in space

A problem in the way I draw environments/spaces is that I make them too sterile and empty. I feel like this happens whenever I pick up a straightedge to do a "real" perspective drawing: Everything is rigidly straight and aligned to the perspective grid. Everything is carefully placed so it doesn't t...

FedEx fracas

Maybe I do need to fix my sleep cycle. I woke up at 8:15 am (I had to set an alarm for this) because I was expecting an important call from FedEx "no earlier than 8:30." Before quarantine, this would have been a weekend luxury, sleeping in. Now I feel like microwaved barf. It's 11 am, by the way, ...

ramooooooooo

HGR's meteoric rise in Shop Titans continues. "I have broken into the top 1000," he announced last night to newbie and me, "and I feel my ascension is inevitable. Number one, son." newbie was concerned that HGR has been playing too much Shop Titans. He tried to launch a one-man intervention, which...
