I'm mostly here to look at cool human art and photos, and sometimes post silly birds.
Software tester and general nerd. Views my own and not those of my employers, partners, friends, or cats.
July 2023 it turns out, so almost exactly two years before admitting I wasn't cis...

The brainworms in this case are in France, so there's at least some chance they're being payed for the overtime...

Opening Steam to check when I first played BG3 for absolutely no reason

Might be wishful thinking, but everything from that to talking about a campaign creating a narrative to the art really feel like they're trying to say "look at how we're copying Paradox's homework!", and yeah, that sounds cool to me.

I like to think in terms of the Tempting Poison scale, as it helpfully calibrates off one book and the stories go from "disturbing but actually quite nice?" to "so fucked up it no longer even registers as horny" via "this is extremely hot and I will feel bad about it the entire time".

Also I'm definitely including your boots in this assessment.

I think this might be worth bringing back as an anti-fascist uniform. Being practical and civilian makes it the perfect counterpoint to fascist aesthetics.

The adventurers are cool and all, but I'm afraid I've got some cat pirates to go fuss... *ahem* I mean engage in legitimate business with.

Turns out if you're good at stacking those bottles can stay like that for a decade or two... And now I'm getting scared the first line of Act 2 is going to be "n years later".

Jennifer isn't just bottling her emotions, she's also mislabeling the bottles and stacking them on an unstable shelf.

I've gone from crying to silently screaming to begging Jennifer to put 2 and 2 and 2 and 2 and 2 and 2 together.

And now time for sleep *sees Nicole is posting an update* or not

Because frankly I'm not reading 31 books without finishing The Hades Calculus, which it turns out is rather long.

Also revising my maths from yesterday's update, reading chapters 1-46 of The Sisters of Dorley in 4 weeks works out at just over 32k words/day, so 1 book/day is totally doable if I go for a mix of lengths, and also stretch the longer books over several days, but count the day I finished it.

Because when I open a pdf, whether for work or fun I'm either planning or reading the entire thing, so the summary is somewhat redundant. Or I'm looking to reference a specific detail, and the reason I opened a pdf document for ot is that I want to make sure it's correct.

I thinkthe March of Cambreadth Wikipedia page was where I found out that filking was a standalone hobby and not just something people did to make RPG songs.
