Wednesday, Patreon, Birthday, and Shopping

I has moneys! I have to restock the house! I have a Bifdy party for my good self including the whole fam.

I am taking the kids to Outback and meeting Beloved and Adorable there for indulgent meal plus cake.

This afternoon, I take Mayhem shopping for groceries. So this morning, I focus on the offerings. Yay.

Good news with Stencyl, I got the enemy ships to move. Bad news, they're moving down the screen instead of left or right.

I'll have to export that for my Patrons.

It's an hour until noon. Let's wriggle.

Challenge #03929-J277: Typical Tabletop Talk

P: “Calcium is a metal right?”

DM: “Right…”

P: “Ergo it’s affected by heat metal”

DM: “go on…”

P: “I cast heat metal on his skeleton”

DM: “… f*<£ it I’ll allow it”

“As the evil wizard succumbs to his wounds, with his final breath,

He summons a Rust Devil” -- Anon Guest

"Wait. What?"

"Rust. Devil. An infernal variant of the rust monster." The DM at the table, Yaz, grinned. She was radiating smugness. "They have

Tuesday, Patreon and Birthmas Week

Tomorrow is Party Day! WOOOO! Tonight my love and I shall share a special evening.

It's in my personal best interests to get my regular work done as soon as possible. And here I am delaying and derailing myself by watching other people with Baldur's Gate 3 having their fun with the thing.

I have Patreon stuff to post, episodes to record, a story to write for now, a story to write for later [All Hallow's Read], a meme to participate in,

Challenge #03928-J276: It's Teamwork

There was a child who was stricken with a rare disease. As they mature their mind degrades losing any sense of emotion or feeling. Doctors and engineers created an artificial intelligence that is able to compensate and amplify the faded emotions. The brain and the AI work as one being, giving the child the life they deserve. But the doctors didn’t know as the child sleep the mind split into two beings. One as the emotion deprived human, the other being

Monday, Tech Support and Leyland's Tour

I am taking my meds and then I am off to the other side of Brisbane to help MeMum out with assorted stuff. Also, since it's two days pre-birthmas, I'm likely getting a prezzie too.

So my usual offerings will be either erratic or delayed.

Especially since I think I'm picking up Beloved this afternoon.

Whee.

It's going to be a busy time and I have not given a single thought towards what I'm doing for All Hallows Read this year.

I've

Challenge #03927-J275: Visiting the Niblings

Wraithvine visits Amatu, the half-halloblood / half-hellkin that is his friend and adopted brother. Amatu has a wife, an adopted child, and a large family now. -- Anon Guest

Grey showed too early in mortal hair. Some lasted longer. Some were gone in a blink. For a friend and baby brother, it was... jarring to see snow settling on a far younger man's head.

Then again, everyone was younger than the immortal Wraithvine. Except a few other immortals, of course.

Baby Corbinian was

Sunday, Stream Stuff and Nonsense

I got woken up at 2AM because my PHONE was on Daylight Savings and the rest of the house was not.

Huzzah.

There may or may not be a game tonight which makes tomorrow - a long weekend day - even more interesting than expected.

I'm helping MeMum with tech troubles, and any other shenanigans we can manage when half of anything is shut.

I'm working on side projects as the Foundry has lag goblins. Story stream real soon now.

Remaining nonsense

Challenge #03926-J274: Domestic Drama

The human goes to their cat wearing the equivalent of chainmail and has a very tiny scissor in their hands. When their friend looks as them quizzically, they see the cat HATES getting its claws trimmed. But, necessary evils, unfortunately. -- Anon Guest

The Humans are full of weird sayings. A favourite of Human Bruk was, "It's better to be prepared than be embarrassed." And that made the rest of the crew on the Halcyon Curiosity wonder why their Human kept the

Saturday, Parkrun, and Further PLNs

I made good time this week because I purposely pulled ahead of Miss Chaos towards the end of the 5K. She continued to plod along at her own pace.

I got eleven weeks until my fiftieth parkrun. That promises to be some fun because I have a firkin soundtrack for that. Yay.

Stay tuned for news about that incidence of Mischief Gremlin Hijinks.

My PLNs for today include retiring relatively early for my streaming nonsense early-early tomorrow morning.

I'll still record

Challenge #03925-J273: One of Our Own

A Vorax ship holds a shock to the humans, another human. A female who was raised from infancy by the Vorax. She's as fierce as they are. -- Anon Guest

Peace rarely happens all at once. There is no universal celebration when the Evil Overlord is vanquished. There is no worldwide breaking of chains when the fascist is hanged, or meets a lonely demise while hiding in a bunker from the revenge of the righteous.

Some are kept unaware of their new

Friday, Mor PLNs

It's only a few more days until payday, and my budget will be sneaking ahead by a smidge.

A smidge that I shall squirrel away for emergencies/something cool.

It's also heading towards my birthday, so I really should look up what's in my pockets for All Hallow's Read.

I do have stuff for that.

What I don't have is a decent image to use in lieu of a cover.

I'm going to try another thing for Stencyl during my shenanigans today.

Challenge #03924-J272: A Breath of Fresh Air

On the planet, many of the population were sick due to the badly polluted air. One elderly individual, a lung disease causing them to cough blood, living in the streets, crawls to Sunshine and Jay asking the two kill them as they're hurting so badly life isn't worth it anymore. -- Anon Guest

"You're here for them, aren't you?" said the woman who Jay had loaned their mask to. It wasn't improving anything. "The ones in charge?"

"Yes," said Mr Sunshine. "They

Thursday, Fare Thee Well Tesla

Come midday today, the Tesla is no longer ours.

  • Because we can't afford to keep it
  • Because it has been trying (and failing!) to kill us since we got it
  • Because the owner and CEO of the company is a transphobic sack of dogshit shambling around in a human suit
  • Because giving that aforementioned stain on the underwear of the human race any more money is not comfortable
  • And also life without it will be easier than life with it.

Because the

Challenge #03923-J271: Good Game, Friend

The massive, plated, deathworlder asked to fight the human. The other humans warned their friend to go easy on the being. The being sneered at the soft, squishy, opponent. They learned that humans are... a lot more dangerous than their soft, smooth, appearance, with no fangs or claws, make them appear to be. -- Anon Guest

No matter how big and strong you are, there is always someone who can whip your ass. There is, as the saying goes, always a bigger

Wednesday, Proceeding Apace

The Tesla has been cleaned out. It's been detailed. Tomorrow, I take it over for inspection and that shall be the last we see of it.

I shall be taking the train mostly home and either walking or taking an Uber the last bit of the way back home.

Expect tomorrow's offering at a nonstandard time.

At midday tomorrow, we shall be a one-car family.

Now I shall proceed with my offerings and disorganised side-projects as per normal.

I will be making
