I originally drew this in reaction to the passing of Carrie Fisher and in homage of the time she liked one of my tweets calling her a firecracker. While it's captioned 'Hope.', the actual name of the piece is 'Leia'. But Hope's important now more than ever...

A piece of digital art mostly in blues and silvers, featuring a deep blue lake surrounded by grey-blue shores and trees with a deep blue starry sky over all. In the lake, a female arm clad in a white sleeve sticks up out of the water, holding aloft Anakin Skywalker's original blue-bladed lightsaber. In the sky, a large moon shaped like the original Rebel phoenix with maria and craters provides reflected light on the scene. The word 'Hope.' is printed on the opposite side of the blade in mid-air. The name of the piece is 'Leia'.

Good old Lonnie Henderson. That show had its ups and downs, but it still resonates today, especially Season 3.

The DDO game worlds will be unavailable on Thursday, October 16th from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) for necessary maintenance. This work is necessary due to an issue we identified following yesterday's game update. There are no game changes associated with this work. #DDO

TIL that I share birthdays with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. I hope he wins, because I like his message of hope, and his ads that are intended to be funny actually are. Don't live in NYC, so I can't vote for him, but I hope he beats Cuomo a second time. :)

Interesting, similar to a store pack's outfit, but with enough changes to be different. Also Night Elf paladin when, Blizz? And actual playable High Elves?

Phoenix @druidsfire.bsky.social · 1d

I had a similar thought...

Phoenix @druidsfire.bsky.social · 1d

You and me both, friend.

Phoenix @druidsfire.bsky.social · 2d

Wowhead talks about the tank meta in Lemix. Then Blizz announces buffs to DPS and healers.

Talk about whiplash. :D

That's why I never open that chest on the same char once I get the deed. There's tons of other sources of tokens.

Phoenix @druidsfire.bsky.social · 2d

Hope you had great noms for Metric Thanksgiving. :)

Time to see if I can get some crafting and leveling done in @duneawakening.com or if my character gets kidnapped by the Harkonnens again on the Rhythm RP server on twitch.tv/druidsfire

My rule of thumb is, if I log in, and my CD is up, if folks are already there, I wait to see if anyone's looting. If yes, I wait patiently & take my turn. If folks are just standing around, I loot and move on. Don't have time to wait longer. No reason for anyone to be rude about it w/ emotes, etc.

Phoenix @druidsfire.bsky.social · 3d

I remember one year, a specific kinship would roll in with several six-person fellowships and blocked others by covering the chest with their chars. It became a bit of a game as I filtered in my various alts one by one and beat them to the punch every so often. They were *SALTY*. :D

People do get precious about that chest if they run in and someone's already waiting and that other person loots first. Using rude emotes like the finger across the throat one, or trying to use consumables to interrupt other people looting. It's so foolish.

Phoenix @druidsfire.bsky.social · 3d

People don't really need to queue for that chest, tbh, because of its short respawn time. It used to be people could grief by looting but never closing the dialogue window to let it despawn. So Turbine/SSG changed it so that the chest auto-despawned regardless. Good change.

I never ceases to amaze me as I'm farming the Aged Deed in the 24-hour timer chest in the basement of the Haunted Burrow in @officiallotro.bsky.social how many people run into the basement, see the chest is despawned, and run back out without waiting. It has a 10-second respawn timer.

I lied. I suddenly remembered I only had a half-day cos of the holiday and kept playing for another... uh... three hours.

Phoenix @druidsfire.bsky.social · 3d

Was originally going to run prot pally as main, rerolled the char holding the name Protection, but then... just kinda wanted to get back on my ret BS. Would be weird to be ret with that name, so I rolled up a new pally entirely this afternoon and got her to 20. More tomorrow!
