Kan beat Eden 8 Savage on Monday. "That was so hard," he said, flopping dramatically on the couch. "It feels leaps and bounds more difficult than anything else so far. I feel like I can't even recognize myself in the tank that cleared E4S for the first time at this point. You know how the story figh...
(Monday 3/30): Finally we got a sunny morning, but by the time I took my afternoon walk, the clouds had rolled in. Big puffy white guys with dark gray underbellies. I accidentally kicked over the Bud Light bottlecap on the balcony that was gifted to me by my upstairs neighbor. That got me reminisc...

HGR, the great encourager, gave some sage advice: "Let's beat Titan this week, so if anyone dies, we can say we beat Titan." Thanks to weekly Eden loot, I'm at item level 475, which means I'm slightly overgeared for the fight. (Back when Titan was current content, the max was 470.) HGR saw my gear...
(Thursday 3/26): Rainy today. Somewhere, a small dog was losing its mind, sending high-pitched staccato barks echoing throughout the apartment complex. A lot of people were coming and going in the parking lot. Maybe they were all essential workers or going on grocery runs, but I doubt it. In the dis...
Nice weather today. It was 51 degrees when I stepped out on my balcony for my daily walk, so I didn't even need a coat. All of this weekend's snow has long since melted. I took a 45-minute walk on the balcony [steps: 5014]. It's good to walk. Nine paces is just long enough that I don't get dizzy. ...
We've finally reached the end of Eden's Gate Savage for our fated showdown against Titan, the Heritor of Crags. "Wait," said newbie. "Is he wearing a stone loincloth??" Yes, yes he is. As befits a final boss, Titan has impeccable aesthetic. He has blasters on his back that transform into a car...
I woke up from a late afternoon nap to discover BREAKING NEWS: Our governor has issued a stay-at-home order for the entire state, starting tomorrow. There are exceptions for grocery stores and pharmacies, as well as "essential business or government functions." Does that include my job? Who knows, r...
YES my boss called at 7:30 p.m. and said not to come in tomorrow (We're having a conference call tomorrow afternoon to determine what to do going forward. But my boss said "I don't want you riding the train." Safety first, everyone! Also we have literally no work lmao) (Also also, I am kicking m...
Leviathan is a pretty cool dude, because he screams "Power...such power...mine for the taking!" while taking a shower, and honestly, wouldn't we all like to have that kind of energy? Anyway, we beat Leviathan! We never hit enrage; on our winning run, we had about 30 seconds to spare. It was all ab...
Meracydia made a new friend today. "Hi, big dragon! I'm going to be as big as you someday!" At work, our office is a well-oiled machine. I attribute this to a few factors: First, Habitica has made me way more productive. Second, we've had a bunch of easy projects. Third, my boss's style lends itse...
