birthday!

Happy birthday to me! (yesterday) No office party this year; oh well. Honestly I prefer other people's birthday parties to my own. I'm not the center of attention but still get cake. My roommate said he'd make me dinner for my birthday. Then he fell asleep. By 8 pm, he still hadn't woken up and ...

these mortals are (not) so easily bested

After a month-long hiatus, we're back to raiding! We had a variety of issues that kept us from meeting for the past month (Silver oversleeping, Silver having finals, Kan's computer issues and my internet outages, and Silver oversleeping). HGR was logged off for so long that leadership of the free co...

work-burger balance

9/3 It's common wisdom that one of the difficulties with working from home is maintaining proper work-life balance. I normally have no trouble with this. But last night at 1 am, after our Terraria session concluded, I found myself working on my latest project. I didn't plan to do any work; I just k...

the time value of life crystals

Now that we've completed Factorio, it's time for adventures in Terraria featuring me ("A factory robot"), newbie ("Kyrie Hotdogger"), and HGR ("Junior Burgeoner"). It's newbie's first time playing Terraria. Exciting stuff. HGR gifted him the game, and he was literally the only person on HGR's friend...

yet another quarantine report

Five and a half months into quarantine, I've largely settled into my new way of life. I would still enjoy a nice long walk downtown, but I don't crave it any more, you know? I'm content. In Clockwork Boys, Caliban is imprisoned for several months, and when he gets out, he's hit by severe agoraphob...

the long road to space

I thought last night's Factorio session would be our last. In fact, I expected to finish well before midnight and have time for other things. I was a schmuck. We played until 2 am and still had a long way to go. There were a couple issues. First, I underestimated the amount of stuff we still had t...

factorio full circle

Our Factorio playthrough has come full circle. In the earlygame, everything was jank because we had no idea how anything worked. We had random buildings here and there, we ran back and forth ferrying materials between miners and furnaces, how do you even hook up a steam boiler, who knows. As HGR sai...

a terraria murder mystery

As I mentioned, the stylist and the fisherman are best friends. They live together at a remote seaside resort. In theory, they're guarding the ocean pylon, but there's not much guarding to do out there; it's a very quiet area. I was back in town when I received a notification that Ruby the stylist...

tales of lost blue and the surrounding lands

8/18 Finally decided to invest in fast travel. Made a jungle outpost (with pylon) and a dungeon outpost (to get the forest pylon, which I placed in town). I also got a mimic minion, which keeps japing me because I keep thinking I see a chest and it's literally my own minion. But it's worth it becau...

review dump

I've gotten into the habit of writing my mini-reviews straight on Goodreads and not copying them into my journal, but I should keep a backup in case the site goes down or something. === King of Scars | Leigh Bardugo | 3.5 stars This book started slow, but ramped up to a 4-star book at the end, ...

get in loser, we're fighting skeletron prime

Last week, I was hoping we'd hit enrage on Ifrit. Instead, we didn't even get past Ramuh. Kan had a power flicker during an early Ramuh run, and then he kept disconnecting during later runs, usually shortly before Fury's Fourteen. Finally we decided it was a lost cause and adjourned. "The static i...
