the true power of this monstrous fusion

Over the past few weeks, HGR has become increasingly bearish about our prospects for this tier. He predicted we wouldn’t beat the Brute Abombinator before January. He didn’t think we had the damage. We aren’t exactly a cutting-edge dps squad, as the Sugar Riot saga demonstrated. Also, KJH’s computer...

daily jumble

A mess of assorted thoughts:My daylight savings buff has completely worn off. I woke up around 8:45 today, which is a totally normal time for me to wake, but it didn’t feel like sleeping in. It just felt like morning.Time is sliding sideways for me. Is it Thursday or Friday? (It’s Thursday, but I ha...

#tree

Lately I’ve been making an effort to look at trees. Typically, I appreciate trees in a general sense: enjoying fall colors, picking BB up to show him acorns hanging from a branch, seeing a willow tree and reminiscing about the tree at my old home. But I don’t really observe trees. What do they look ...

soft uwu deathlord

HGR was asking me, what’s the appeal of the lion game? I told him it’s a jank, mechanically inferior version of the wolf game. But it’s got lots of aesthetic options! And, most importantly, I can play casually without having to worry about the leaderboards. Couldn’t you do that with the wolf game? h...

heat hoarders

We made it through the heat. Monday night was particularly cursed, since it was raining and we had to close the balcony screen door. We were stuck in an intensely humid 88-degree house, with cool fall air just outside where we couldn’t reach it. But the rain cooled things down. It’s been mid-60s dur...

double hobby

Weirdly, watercoloring has become two hobbies for me. The first is actually watercoloring. The second is watching watercolor tutorial videos on youtube. It’s a relaxing thing to do in the evening when trying to make step count for the day. Most of these videos are plant-related: fall trees, pumpkins...

THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN TH

On Saturday afternoon, the temperature in the house rose to 91 degrees. It’s not conducive to human flourishing. We didn’t have raid (KJH’s computer broke, rip) which is just as well because who wants to deal with lariats and tethers in this kind of heat? As predicted, roommate did not want to leave...

hateful summer

Our air conditioning is out again, just two weeks after we got it fixed. I first noticed it on Thursday night, when it was 75 degrees in the house. At the time, I thought it might be just a worse underperformance than usual. But on Friday it climbed to 85 in the house and we had to face facts: it’s ...

the continuing adventures of traffic scone

Being on Lioden is weird because in many ways it feels like coming home. Suddenly, generation is important. Being NIB is important. In fact, I think WD’s low-gen NIB culture was imported from LD. I glance at chat and see someone bemoaning the fact they bought a “dirty” lion; the inbreeding is 10 gen...

demolition deathmatch

So, the Brute Abombinator. He exists. “Are there even chimeras in America?” asked newbie. (Also newbie: “I can’t believe my HONEST QUESTION about the ECOSYSTEM of the country I LIVE IN is being reposted in BAD FAITH.”) (I can’t believe newbie is accusing me of reposting things in bad faith. Have ano...

paada paada

A charming little mystery: S texted the group chat saying, “Anyone has any idea what BB could mean when he says ‘paada paada’? We’ve just been given grief for not understanding what that means and he’s over it now but it’s killing us.” We brainstormed various ideas to no avail. It is not panda, pump...

hi.

This morning I arrived at the office and logged into my work computer. Instead of displaying my desktop, it displayed a black screen with the word “Hi.” I was taken aback for a sec. Uh, hi? Then the message changed to something like “We’re preparing your settings” and I remembered that last week, wh...
