paranoia and unreality

My phone has stopped ringing for calls. Instead it just purrs at me. It’s very annoying; I’m worried that I’ll miss an important work call because of it. I don’t know what the problem is. I double-checked all the settings. It’s set to ring and not vibrate. The ring volume is set to high (when I tap ...

NOT assailed by heat

Woke up at 6:40 am (five minutes before my alarm) and saw a text from my boss saying not to come into the office because of the excessive heat. FLOPS I went back to bed and conked out for two more hours. Life is good. * * * Pros to home life: So well rested! Cons to home life: Microwaving ramen in p...

assailed by heat

Imagine leaving the house to go downtown two days in a row. What a life of luxury(?). My roommate doesn’t think so. He doesn’t want to go downtown one day in a row. But he had a follow-up appointment scheduled today. The timing is unfortunate because there’s a heat wave. My phone and desktop keep se...

the same end, again and again

lmao we didn’t beat Hesperos I on Sunday so we just went home, we’re so bad at this I was discussing this possibility with HGR before raid. He was like “It’s been so long, we’ll have forgotten everything.” And I was like “No way, we’re experts at this game.” We are not experts at this game. We kept ...

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...
