psychics & zombies

Friday morning, HGR sent out the call for raid. Seven of us quickly checked in as being available both Saturday and Sunday. No response from Silver. When he still hadn't responded by Saturday morning, I figured it was off for the day. The odds of him waking up before 1 pm AND checking Discord AND de...

legends & savages

Apex Legends is all the rage these days. It's basically a reskinned PUBG, but with a few perks. First, it doesn't look absurdly ugly. Second, you can play as an edgelord skeleton (HGR shelled out a ton of legend tokens to unlock the edgelord skeleton). Third, there are ziplines. HGR to newbie: "Wh...

cabinets: the gift that keeps on giving

Last week I decided to bust out the Ghirardelli raspberry-filled chocolates that I found in the cabinet next to the laksa. Same stratum, probably around the same age. They have not kept quite as well, despite being billed on the package as "Moments of Timeless Pleasure," but it's chocolate and I'm g...

innocence EX

Today we fought Innocence EX. To get the true experience, we fought him at minimum item level (430, a significant cut). Also, half of us randomly decided to switch roles. numbers became our off-tank, while Dante switched to monk. Monk is notorious for having the most convoluted rotation in the game,...

balcony log IV: snowfall edition

(Monday 4/13): Woke up, logged in to Pokemon Go, and saw that the weather was snowy. Excited, I grabbed my coat and went outside. It seems like every year we have at least one freak snowfall in April, but we haven't had ours yet this year. There was no snow. Dry pavement, dry sky. Way to get my ho...

personally, I love sleeping in

I'm firmly convinced that there's nothing inherently wrong with sleeping in. That's especially true in our coronavirus world, where classes and jobs have moved online and people are no longer bound to a 9-to-5 schedule. If you go to bed at 5 am every morning and sleep until noon, you have the same n...

orogenesis

Since we're so close to beating Titan, I tried to organize a mid-week raid. Everyone said they could make it except for Silver, who we figured would be the limiting factor. Dude is always busy. He lives in Seattle, which is a pretty hard-hit area, but he studies from home (engineering) and also work...

mac and cheese and ninjas

If it were up to me, I'd probably go on a grocery run once every two weeks, walking to Save-A-Lot during off-peak hours, keeping distance and wearing a mask. And I'd (probably) be fine. But my roommate is dead-set against the idea. He's very worried about Covid-19, with cause—his health is already q...

balcony log III

(Saturday 4/4): Wasn't watching where I was going and accidentally rammed my hand into a concrete wall, drawing blood. The outdoors is dangerous. (Sunday 4/5): Woke up early, took a hot shower, and headed out to my balcony. Starting the day right. Clouds were drifting across the sun, causing my st...

o9ffi9c9e away from offi9ce

We finally got more work projects last Friday, one for each of us. So our long vacation is over. RIP vacation 3/13/20 – 4/2/20, you had a good run. Now that I've been working from home for a week, all the minor, irritating flaws in my home office setup have taken center stage. For instance: No du...

now you too shall go the way of all the earth

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...

balcony log, cont.

(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...
