where did the time go

Dante’s been playing Fantasy Life: The Girl Who Steals Time. It’s honestly not that interesting to watch (the plot is mediocre, and nobody really wants to sit and watch someone else chop trees) but it did make me want to play the game. There are so many things to level up! Whee! So I impulse bought ...

dream drop distance

Last night I dreamed I was drinking coffee. It was more bitter than my usual, but also sweeter, and it was delicious. Taste doesn’t always come through in dreams, but it did this time. Then I woke up to discover it was 6:41, nine minutes before my alarm went off. Well, time to get up. I’m glad I had...

pudding alone gets awfully dull (pt. 3)

Saturday raid: “encouraging progress on adds” (we did not see anything new on adds) Sunday raid: “the glacier that hit the Titanic” (self-explanatory) So that was this weekend’s raid. I’m actually kinda warming up to Back to the Drawing Board. I think it’s pure Stockholm syndrome. I still maintain t...

a growing relationship with books

BB has always liked books, but it’s interesting to watch his interest develop over time. At 12 months, he liked lift-the-flap books. He wasn’t that interested in the contents of each page; it was just another physical manipulation toy. He’d lift the flaps on a few pages at random and then be off to...

occult crescent (do not steal)

The difference between weekends is wild. Two weekends ago was action-packed. We went to the playground so many times and went down so many slides. We stomped on leaves, we watched birds and watered the plants, we threw Dad’s panda toys down the stairs, we jumped around the house yelling BOING BOING ...

humor, wa-wa, and sorting chalk

The evolving nature of humor:March 2025: farting noises = literal funniest thing everApril 2025: farting noises = mid. Situational humor is king. Specifically, the following scenario: BB lies down on the couch. “Good night, BB!” I say, lying down beside him. Then he pushes me off the couch. I land o...

memorial day family bash

Big hype for the full family Memorial Day weekend bash at Mom and Dad’s house. I came down on Friday afternoon as usual; brother and co. came on Saturday. I’m sleeping in my actual childhood bedroom for the first time in years. A few years ago, Mom converted my room into the Ironing and Miscellaneou...

pudding alone gets awfully dull (notes)

Since we’re on hiatus for a week, I better write all this down. Huh. Actually, writing this makes me like the phase better. Makes it feel more mechanic-y. Before the add phase:Wave 2 (rays) spawns at 4:20. I want barrel stabilizer + wildfire + chain saw up.These attacks all come up during the cactus...

pudding alone gets awfully dull

Not enjoying the Sugar Riot fight at all. Specifically, I hate the add phase.I have aoe in my kit, but I’ve never had to use it in raids, only very casually in dungeons. I was perfectly happy ignoring it. Now there’s all kinds of annoying considerations like “I can’t initiate on the ray with X attac...

honse

Cirrus, the wind ancient, has been officially slated for May and a teaser image posted...and it’s a horse. It’s like 90% horse and 10% dragon. It doesn’t even have wings. I’m pretty meh on this. It’s the second ancient in a row that has been a dud for me, since I’m bleh on adult everluxes. (Big fan ...

chili oil

Around a week ago, I had a Costco tonkotsu ramen bowl for dinner. Instead of using the packet of chili oil that comes with it, I added Korean chili sauce. I left the packet of chili oil on the counter, thinking I might try it on potatoes at some point. Today, roommate got up for a ramen break. In th...

what’s your favorite color

Welcome to Sugar Riot’s gallery of glowworms! “THE PAINTRESS PLAGUES US STILL,” said newbie. “FOR THOSE WHO COME AFTER!!” I don’t have a lot to say about the Sugar Riot fight so far. I just needed to get that newbie quote in. I was concerned the cacti would be honeybee levels of Just Do the Mechan...
