wakeup call

Got woken up at 9:30 am by the fire alarm going off. Ever since quarantine began, we've been getting intermittent fire alarms, and it's invariably nothing, but still, gotta take every fire alarm seriously. It's what Gideon would do. Besides, I really shouldn't be sleeping in this late on workdays. I...

the most festive fog (and a side hustle)

Dante got level 9 festive fog in Hades. newbie was quick to point out that it wasn't the highest dps option due to diminishing returns, but come on, how often do you get the chance for a level 9 boon? Dante had to take it. No regrets. He beat the run without using a single Death Defiance. Also, th...

mid-september resolutions

(because we can't let the new year hog all the resolutions) 1. Go outside every day. Every evening, my phone faithfully gives me a notification about the next day's weather, which I appreciate. I like the implication that this is relevant news for me. Back in March I'd take a balcony walk ever...

a foolish dreamer

"Call me naive," said numbers, "a foolish dreamer, but I really thought we were going to start raid within half an hour of our scheduled time." Everyone except Kan had checked in by 1:03, and Kan was active on discord, so numbers pinged him: "Kanzaris, you around too?" Kan did not respond and, sho...

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...
