scattershot

Currently playing a whole bunch of games scattershot, which I suppose is better than not playing them at all. === FFXIV: Okay, I’m putting this on the list a bit prospectively. I really need to catch up on the MSQ. I’m midway through the previous patch’s content, which is like months behind. I have ...

starving stampede

Canonically, here’s what happened: We beat Proto Carbuncle on Sunday. Yoshi P saw my logs and he was like “oh no!!” and in Monday’s patch he put in buffs for machinist. ty yoshi p “Those sure are some patch note buffs,” said Luis. “Casters and Achaius rejoice.” numbers said, “By the time we get to P...

people-watching

I’m cold. I opted to wear my medium coat today, under the logic that it’s only October, and if I upgrade to my heavy winter coat now, there’ll be nothing to upgrade to later. However: I’m now cold. === Customer 1: Rude Dude I was in line for lunch when a guy cut in front of me while talking on his c...

the endless void of space

Woke up in utter blackness, surrounded by the endless void of space. My alarm clock said it was 6:45 am. Big BS. It turned out there was a rainstorm outside, which is why it was so dark. By the time I got to the train platform, my socks and lower pant legs were soaked, as was my right coat sleeve (d...

entity authorization & multiworld co-op

Been procrastinating on my current project. It’s an interesting project, but man, I have no energy lately. The clock is ticking. Nothing much else going on. I did two loads of laundry in the morning (it would’ve been one load, but some of my pants came out heavily streaked with soap, necessitating a...

a walk and the passage of time

Got to work this morning and tried to use my house key on the office door. Not the first time I’ve done this in recent months. Gonna chalk it up to muscle memory instead of a weird Freudian slip. At lunchtime I took a walk and was newly struck by how magnificent this city is. I used to do this walk ...

revolving door

I’ve got mixed feelings about Gloomhaven’s retirement mechanic. On the one hand, it prevents anyone from being stuck in a class they don’t like (tinkerer). It provides things to unlock (we love unlocking things) and keeps the gameplay fresh from both an individual and team standpoint, since the team...

to those who endured every tragic turn

WE DID IT WE BEAT HESPEROS (it’s like an early birthday present!) We beat him on Saturday, fairly early into the lockout. The latest patch introduced the Echo, but we manually knocked it off for Hesperos 2 (I got to say “papa echo,” the classic Bahamut callout), and Kan put his 600 gear back on t...

spoon

Roommate really doesn’t care what size spoon he uses to eat. We have some tiny teacup-sized stirring spoons, too small to even be used for a proper mug (the whole handle would be submerged). I have no idea why we have these spoons or where they came from. They just showed up after the move. Anyway, ...

bring your adoring fans to tears

After all the discussion, we didn’t raid last weekend—on Saturday I was out due to the wedding, and on Sunday, Silver was sick. Instead we resumed this weekend with a split schedule. Saturday we’re continuing Hesperos with Kan instead of Silver; Sunday we’re moving on to Pandemonium 5 Savage with ou...

oozetown

This weekend, we did the first two missions of HGR’s personal quest chain. He’s the Seeker of Xorn, impelled to awaken an eldritch figure named Xorn. Concidentally, Dante just started playing Cult of the Lamb, which has a similar premise (a dark deity was sealed away by the four guardians, and it’s ...
