Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Thursday, House of Pestillence

Mayhem has a lingering Lurgi, this time. He might be starting to believe in the power of sanitising communal keyboards and may begin to believe in sanitising his hands before touching food or his face.

Time will tell.

Pseuducku news: It's not me, it's the app. My trouble with sound files is a bug in Stencyl that needs fixing, not anything I was fucking up. Yay?

So alongside doing yesterday's rant that I forgot, I shall now make room for a side project or two. Getting stuff done by a process of elimination. Huzzah.

BUT it's not all fun and cherries here. I attempted to assemble my Raspberry Pi, according to two sets of instructions. One that came with the packet and the other that I found on a helpful website. These instructions have some conflicts that resulted in some... devastation.

I'm convinced I accidentally broke some moderately expensive technology by following the instructions.

I'm a genius like that.

I've boxed it all up and shall be consulting the QPP this Saturday. That gives me two and a half days to hate myself for making a mess. Which I am trying not to do.

I'll do my late rant first, and then attempt to focus on the daily offerings.

Let's go.

Challenge #04238-K220: A Place to Heal

I was a prisoner, enslaved for as long as I could remember. I thought the one who had me caged was the wizard Wraithvine. I was told I was suffering so others would not. Then I met the real Wraithvine, learned the truth, and was freed.

My torment is over, the pain of the body long healed. The painful memories will never fade, but I'm so grateful to hir. Don't worry, ze brought you here so I could help you, as I

Tuesday, Quack Trip and Pi Maybe

I'm seeing my GP today. There to get a scrip for breathing meds, and talk about getting my left heel surgically adjusted so I can maybe walk without fucking pain.

That's happening close to ten in the morning.

Mayhem's also caught another Office Lurgi. So instead of juggling driving time, I am now spinning my wheels waiting for the minute to take off.

I might actually have the time to set up the PiHole today. Huzzah. I'm also going to take the

Challenge #04237-K219: Word From on High

It was heard though out the world, although it echoed into every corner only Priests, Gurus, Rabbis, and other religious leaders heard that claim:

Humanity evolution is not yours to command. -- Anon Guest

The first question was the most controversial - Was that the voice of God? Or, to be more accurate - Was that the voice of my God? The arguments broke out almost immediately.

Wars may or may not be in the offing.

They almost forgot to debate the

Tuesday, Shopping and PAIN

My left heel hates me and I might need an op. The bank in charge of our loans needs to talk to us about giving them more money than we can afford. I can't track down the doctor reponsible for my prescription for my special meds and my life is going... sideways.

This is temporary. We will find a way to handle it all.

I just need to brave up and tell my other partners that I think I might need to

Challenge #04236-K218: Blood Paid for Blood

It was a major firefight. Mr. Sunshine, Jay, and an individual that teamed with them were running hard, firing back. A group of teens rushed in to distract the pursuers. The three escaped, the teens lost their lives. Now it's time for revenge. And rescue the families. -- Anon Guest

"I'm colourblind, damnit!"

Monday, Patreon and Stream and...

I need to track down one doctor and make an appointment with them. I have to create an appointment with my regular doctor for my asthma meds. I need to run my stream, post my Patreon stuff, push forward my offerings...

I'm a very busy bean. I might even delay the Patreon stuff to tomorrow, since I can't have a day with Beloved because driving.

Augh...

Mayhem needs to talk to people about brain issues, but one of his brain issues is

Challenge #04235-K217: Clever Uses

Even the best of the best can sometimes lose. This magic fight was simple. No major spells, just minor pranks. Wraithvine hadn't counted on this silly jokester to have two wands, but was amused when ze slipped onto their keester. Well, ze doesn't always win, and this was fun! -- Anon Guest

No matter how good you are, no matter how wide your reputation, there's always someone who believes they're better. There's always someone willing to prove it. Whether or not they

Sunday, Stream Shenanigans and Bread

I have my first loaf proofing in the incubator. I managed to run a session where all four hours were combat. Well. Combat and setting up for combat. There were a lot of mobs to juggle.

So after some tea and a nap, I'm back up and ready to rave onwards. Huzzah.

After the daily offerings and bread, there's another game tonight. Assuming all goes well. Then it's back to what passes for normal and fitting my work in between other things.

Challenge #04234-K216: Family Talk

I was found by my rennie. I was found again by the family of my birth. My rennie was scared. I was scared. The horse was terrified. But now we have a happy home. All of us together.

Saturday, Parkrun and Stream PLNs

Did Southbank parkrun properly this time, and I swear that thing is uphill in all directions. Ow.

Brisbane Geography for the win?

My feet hurt and my legs hate me and I'm having ice cream as compensation. Story very soon.

I have my starter in the incubator and, given that I fed them on Thursday, haven't bothered with the Bikkie step. I'm checking on it on the hour and hoping this helps me streamline dough.

Wish me luck on that one.

I'm

Challenge #04233-K215: They Call it Faerie Farm

By their farm, a well-hidden place where the veil between Nanogh and their world had always been thin. The family, by tradition, not knowing who it was that aided them, at harvest season, always left out three jars of honey, and a large basket of freshly picked fruit. None have ever been stung by the hives, and when ill, despite being poor, none has ever been without medicine. -- The New Guy

The woods were sacred. Horrible things happened to anyone wandering

Friday, House of Pestillence

Mayhem didn't listen to my good advice on shaking his lurgi. He's taking that good advice today. By Monday, he'll be back at work.

I'm going to try Stencyl again. Unriddling the sound issue is a complicated problem that includes converting files to other formats and stripping their metadata. I tried finding or making copies of the extant sound files, but... that's something I must mess about with.

I will find a way.

Maybe not today, maybe not next week, but I

Challenge #04232-K214: Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes

The village had begun to rot from the inside, with the Watch being cruel the downtrodden, especially those who were not human. Certain ears DID hear. Shadows move, and some were asked to move into the village to correct the problems.

Doni had taken to leaving little gift boxes where the Hellkin girl often hid. He made sure nobody saw him do it, because that increased the chances that the Hellkin girl would

Thursday, Software Updates and Lurgi

Mayhem's got a rhinovirus. If it's the same rhinovirus I had a while ago, he'll be back on his feet tomorrow.

I have a software update and drive cleanout on the first of every month, so I may be delayed on my offerings because restart-a-thon.

I'm on the refining layer of my fanart of a fanfic of a fanart happening after I've done my half a chapter during my stretchies. There's two panels refined out of five. I might even drag my
