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...

OC design and artfight roster thoughts

It's the yearly post-Artfight ritual: I pledge to draw more of my own OCs, both new and existing ones. It feels kinda bad that for one month I draw everyone else's characters, and then for the remaining 11 months I neglect my own characters. For some reason, I find it easier to create characters f...

why do you refuse to gain power

Mid-afternoon, Dante warned me that a big storm was headed my way. I checked Google and saw alerts for tornadoes, 70-100 mph winds, hail, all kinds of stuff. But it was still a bright summer day. I thanked Dante and went to take a nap. As a precaution, instead of going to bed, I napped in the closet...

artfight 2020 in review

Artfight is over! Maybe. Probably. The site was down all morning while I was trying to post my last drawing, and lots of people were complaining, but Artfight staff refused to acknowledge the downtime let alone announce an extension, so I guess we're done.  (edit (1:50 pm): They just announced...

fun in the sun

S U M M E R V A C A T I O N It's amazing how being stuck inside for months can make a weekend trip downstate to visit my parents into the Event of the Summer. It's also amazing how well the Event of the Summer works as motivation. By 3:30 p.m. on Friday, I had showered, packed, done all my work ...

clears don't exiiiist

Over on board 8, NFUN is running a character battle tournament. He held nominations like two years ago, but never got around to running the tourney until now. It's been a pretty lowkey affair (single-digit votals, no drama) but still nostalgic. Wednesday's match was Ushiromiya Battler (Kan's nom) ...

walmart log (not actually a log)

Since I'm stuck at home ordering curbside delivery from Walmart for the foreseeable future, I decided to start a thing where I order at least one new item every time and post mini-reviews. This place has so much more variety than the local grocery, I want to take advantage of it, but it's harder wit...
