Challenge #04196-K178: Contractually Obligated Self-Maintenance

You asked for the harshest training I can give you so you can grow stronger? Are you sure about this? I would say it'll be hell, but I'd be lying. You'll have to look UP if you want to see hell. -- Anon Guest

Part One: Sleep Schedule.

Up at four in the morning no matter the season. Bullied into bathroom, bathing, and breakfast in that order. Then off to a brisk run over a set obstacle course as fast as possible. With your teacher close behind. By the way, that course changes randomly, so don't get complacent.

Press-ups. Pull ups. Going on the oblique machine. Going on the rowing machine. Then another piping-hot shower before a thorough massage to be sure all those muscles work the next morning.

You're going to work all sixteen hours you're awake.

Wednesday: Complicated PLNs

The problem: I need to go shopping and start into bread.

I have a four-hour window during the starter rise to do that. Sourdough is time sensitive. The rest of my nonsense is not.

So my itinerary is thus:

  • finish getting dressed [I'm still in the midst of my stretchies]
  • feed cats [THE most important part of my day - ask the cats]
  • torture feet
  • weigh and prep bread stuff
  • Feed the starter, but put the starter harvest in the fridge while

Challenge #04195-K177: Perilous Choices

Bolvoth decides to teach the young woman the lessons she seems to be refusing to learn. Lest she be the one he is called against to truly harm one day.

Love is very many things, none of them logical. So too is the determination of a rebellious teenager. When those combine, someone is going to come to some very bad damage. Whether or not there was a 'splash zone' involved was generally a

Tuesday, Announcement Incoming!

I am biting the bullet and committing to making Pseuducku exist. So... between my daily offerings, working on my WIP, and some essential relaxation activities - I will be learning and doing.

Learning: How to make a game on Stencyl.

Doing: Making a game based on the lessons I've absorbed so far.

Hacking one's own brain is an essential skill, and I've figured out I don't keep information about new skills very well.

The good news is that I've figured out how

Challenge #04194-K176: The Lost Legend of Thebysthenes

We watch as the city burn, as demons from beyond the star descend onto our land. They carve our flesh, devour our young, and dance on our graves. We cried to heavens to bring us salvation. We call upon Zeus to smite the dark ones, we call upon Poseidon to wash away the flames, we call upon Athena for the wisdom to push the hoard back into the sky. All fell on deaf ears.

Except one, Ares. -- Anon Guest

Fire. Sing,

Monday, Possibly Patreon and PLNs

Today's agenda includes, in no specific order:

  • Posting to Patreon
  • The daily offerings
  • Working on Pseuducku
  • Attempting to make a place to show off the progress for Pseuducku

I've decided it's going to be a web app and the forum's going to have an arena for update notices, player feedback, Q&A's and so forth. Thus to create interest and to allow ppl like MeMum to test the versions.

Newest versions first. For ease of location. Pretty sure nobody wants to

Challenge #04193-K175: Pride in Presentation

A toy maker goes to a cavern where a large nest of dragon eggs are about to hatch. The entire village were giving the dragon congratulations gifts, and this person made effigies of knights holding flowers and fireproof, claw-resistant, stuffies. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Considering the semi-feral nature of infant Dragons, they're better off with chew toys]

Legend tells that the world was made for Dragons. They were very upset when other species turned up and made it less for Dragons than

Sunday, Some Movement

It's a very Monday Sunday, mostly because I couldn't do the VTTRPG sesh, last night. Amazing what an entire night's sleep does to my temporal perception.

Or lack thereof.

I had the extreme Dunwannas this morning, spending a majority of the early hours flopping around in bed and procrastinating. Largely playing games on my phone rather than acknowledge my duties for the diem.

Obviously I gave up on that lack of effort.

I've bitten the bullet and signed up to Reddit, with

Challenge #04192-K174: Downtime Invention

A: Happy Family!

B: Royal Straight Flush!

C: UNO!

D: COME FORTH BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON!

E: I activate my credit card. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Changed one part of the prompt to be a completely different game. Pretty sure Nonny gave me two poker wins]

Boredom and captivity does strange things to Humans. As evidenced by Silly Season outbreaks. When it's a salvage vessel crewed by Humans, beset by twists of luck, it can get even stranger.

Saturday, No Parkrun, No Stream PLNs

The post-jab ickies have allowed a minor gastro bug to move in. Huzzah. Not.

So no parkrun for me. No parkrun for the QPP either, since Beloved still has the same tummy bug. Yay. Not.

Aaaannnnd OBS' horseshit is still a mystery to all of us so the game PLNs for early-early tomorrow are off. Woot. Not.

It's been win, win, win over here in Casa Del Nutter. [/sarcasm]

I let myself enjoy a conciliatory Inflatable Pie, and I will be right

Challenge #04191-K173: One Good Turn...

They helped the poor farmer who, after a time, made a mostly full recovery. In addition to giving them the rock that nearly killed him, he made very sure everyone knew these two were life-savers. He might be poor, but he was well liked by those around that area.

Friday, Trying not to feel guilty

I have had zero ideas for the Archive, this week. Just... nothing.

I know I have to clean out the catio, but otherwise my daily nonsense is more or less sorted.

But I don't know if I need another week away from my passion projects. I'll see about how I feel about those next week.

For now, I finish up my daily doses and then focus on the catio. Offerings soonish to now.

As for the WIP... I've reached the point in

Challenge #04190-K172: Balanced Out

A person with a really strong good luck gene keeps asking questions like "How bad could it possibly be?". And saying things like "Things could never get any worse" just to try to tempt fate. -- Fighting Fit

There is balance in the universe. For every death, there is life. For every darkness, there is a light. For every fortune, there is poverty. And for every good, there is something bad.

The forces of nature are said to dislike certain things, like

Thursday, Pressure Release

Beloved had a few ideas for my rant blog, this morning. Such as going off about things I like and why you should like them too. Honestly, it's probably a better vibe than yesterday's grousing about the Rona.

Plus I can promote various randos I appreciate on the interwebs. Share the love, et cetera.

Whilst wrangling my offerings, I am working on fixing the issues with OBS. There's an update going on as I type.

There was an idea to interview folks,

Challenge #04189-K171: To Fight Another Day

A special class was being held for those who are unwanted. Not just combat with hands and feet, but also exercising the tails, making them dexterous and nimble. For those with wings, using the wings like bludgeons in combat, using horns. Using weapons.. people never figured could actually be used as weapons. Expect the unexpected. -- Anon Guest

"I cannot teach you all the same," said the teacher. Battle-scarred and bent with age, they could nevertheless still hold their own in a
