the revenge of ramuh

As raid time drew near, HGR said, "I think we're overdue for someone randomly being an hour late." As it turned out, it was Silver, and he was only 40 minutes late. "Alarm," he explained. "Damn the patriots," said HGR. "Watch less vtubers at 6 am," Luis told him. "Hey," said newbie, "I was w...

futbol furor

newbie is worried about meeting dps requirements for E6-8. He was considering switching to black mage. I'm of two minds about it. On the one hand, black mage was my first class. I dropped it because I didn't enjoy the playstyle (I got annoyed every single time I had to move), but I still have a soft...

white stone BOOM BOOM

July 7 – For the past few weeks, people have been setting off fireworks on a nightly basis. This culminated on July 4, with near-constant fireworks from around 6 pm until I went to bed at 2 am. It seemed like way more than usual. My roommate theorized that they were having a contest to see who could...

over and over doth lightning strike thee

(and over, and over, and...) You gotta feel a little bad for Ramuh. He ordered four spears online from Big Blob's Great Weapon Shop, and hungry blob handled the delivery and broke one of them, so when Ramuh stuck them at the four corners of the field there was a safe corner. Ramuh was furious. He ...

junk in space

A problem in the way I draw environments/spaces is that I make them too sterile and empty. I feel like this happens whenever I pick up a straightedge to do a "real" perspective drawing: Everything is rigidly straight and aligned to the perspective grid. Everything is carefully placed so it doesn't t...

FedEx fracas

Maybe I do need to fix my sleep cycle. I woke up at 8:15 am (I had to set an alarm for this) because I was expecting an important call from FedEx "no earlier than 8:30." Before quarantine, this would have been a weekend luxury, sleeping in. Now I feel like microwaved barf. It's 11 am, by the way, ...

ramooooooooo

HGR's meteoric rise in Shop Titans continues. "I have broken into the top 1000," he announced last night to newbie and me, "and I feel my ascension is inevitable. Number one, son." newbie was concerned that HGR has been playing too much Shop Titans. He tried to launch a one-man intervention, which...

OUTSIDE

My parents drove up with a load of groceries today! I asked for some stuff I can't get locally (bao, basmati rice, Indian curry sauce) as well as various staple foods. Dad, who is in charge of the family shopping, went all-out. For instance, for the bao, he got me two packs of char siew bao + a pack...

june gratitude

discussing "hamilton: the musical: the mmo" with hgr (hamilton has a quest icon on his head. he's like "I need people to write essays defending the constitution." so your quest log says "talk to aaron burr." (he says no) "/cheer aaron burr." (he says no) "/rally aaron burr." (he still says no) "repo...

At long last, we defeated Emperor Varis! Kan was his normal self today, so hopefully everything's cool going forward. Fortius was pretty straightforward once we adopted the fan strategy. I died once because right after Fortius, there's a spread attack where we all have designated positions to stan...

artfight 2020 roster

It's almost artfight time! (Remember back in January when we were discussing summer vacation plans and I was like "preferably not in July because of artfight"? It feels like forever ago, those halcyon days when "summer vacation" was actually a possibility.) (Weirdly I don't miss vacation. I mean...

white stone with a cherry on top

June 17 – the upshot is, I miss being able to go get a shake during work. maybe I should buy a blender. a blender would open up SO many options. not just shakes, but fruit smoothies and frappes! June 18 – okay, looking at blenders on Amazon, there seem to be three main kinds: $20 mini blenders.&nb...
