the bread war (and food journals)

There was a piece of bread in the parking lot. A seagull landed next to it, took his time scanning for danger—that dude patrolling the balcony, is he a threat?—then finally started eating. Seconds later, a shrieking dervish descended upon the parking lot. It was a second seagull, hungry for bread. ...

a new appreciation for barbers

All good things come to an end, and that includes my condition of not needing a haircut. I last got a haircut on March 7, while visiting my parents on the weekend before entering quarantine, which in retrospect was great timing; but it's been two months since then and I'm getting quite overgrown. ...

bad boys big donuts

HGR had a dream that he was doing trial roulette and somehow got Titan Savage. But it wasn't just Titan, it was a whole Praetorium-length dungeon with midbosses and such, and Titan was the final boss. Two of HGR's party members hated each other for some reason. When the team finally got to Titan, on...

white stone collective (the week in review)

May 1 – After 15+ hours walking on my balcony, I can see the path worn by my footsteps: a faint infinity sign that's lighter than the surrounding grime. May 2 – me: all this person does is cry and retweet Emet-Selch fanart me: ... me: *follows* May 3 – One of the postgame areas in Rabi-Ribi i...

happy cinco de mayo

It's Cinco de Mayo. I wouldn't have remembered it—one day is much the same as another in here—but Cayst mentioned it in her journal. The office Cinco de Mayo party is something I look forward to every year. Ray always goes all out; he decorates the entire place and brings traditional Mexican pastr...

my dormant brethren, dream now of a dark tomorrow

We beat Hades EX! Kan was really enjoying his "chunky boi" status. He kept talking about it, asking the healers for extra heals and such. (But this is part of what I like about him; he's so boisterous. Possibly the healers appreciated it less.) I forgot to get an exaflare explanation from HGR, so ...

bunny break

HGR's latest game (also bankrolled by newbie) is Rabi-Ribi, a danmaku metroidvania with bunnygirls. HGR naturally took it upon himself to sequence break the game as much as possible. He ignored plot objectives to explore new areas and fight bosses for which he was massively underleveled. He used coo...

Meanwhile, at Mom and Dad's house, a pair of geese made a nest in the yard along the water's edge. One goose sits on the nest while the other patrols. Dad's been hungrily eyeing that nest for the past week. Last Thursday, he got his opening. "I was mowing this afternoon," he announced. "As you kno...

QTE god

RE4 highlight of the day: HGR saying "I am a QTE god" with newbie laughing maniacally in the background This was the fight against Verdugo, who is a gimmicklord among gimmicklords.
