Thursday, Wise Words of Bullwinkle

Every now and again, things fuck up SO greatly that the only recourse is to start all over again. With the wisest words of Bullwinkle J. Moose:

This time fer sure!

Today is one of those days. Allow me to elaborate...

  1. Saturday 10th: Beloved and I do the Park Run. Since the only available vehicle was my zippy little car, Beloved took the key fob that would allow it to stay locked.
  2. Said key fob was returned to me when we got back to the car.
  3. Said key went back into my bag with all the other nonsense.
  4. Tuesday 13th: I do a cans run without any trouble. Didn't bother locking my car because who would steal a car at a recycling place?
  5. Beloved goes out to fetch food in my car, thus revealing the fact that the key fob must have fallen out of my bag at some point
  6. Wednesday 14th: (Yesterday) I had PLNs to go Crimbo present shopping. Which required the ability to lock the car because ANYONE can steal a car at the shops
  7. UNBEKNOWNST to me, Beloved found the fob on the night before. She had it in her purse the whole time during the following points.
  8. Beloved went to work with my fob in her possession while I did my daily nonsense
  9. I went to go search my car, with the plan of evicting all the garbage within my car and hoping the fob would turn up after that.
  10. Of fucking course, no fob.
  11. I went through the car top to bottom. I moved seating. I rearranged the tilt of the backs of the seating. I moved the seating again.
  12. I argued with both of our kids about the possibility that the fob could be literally anywhere else BUT in the car.
  13. Finally, to prove a point, I tried to start the car.
  14. Which would not work if the fob was present.
  15. FOB NOT FOUND
  16. ((((: Alright, sweaty ((((: Something's gone amiss, here ((((:
  17. Call beloved
  18. "Oh I found it last night, put it in my purse, and forgot. Whoopsiedoodles."
  19. Mustnotmurderwaifu.jpg

I now have the fob and can plausibly continue with my PLNs.

Except I feel really crook this morning and IDK what's up.

Can I curl up in a corner and cry now? Please?

Challenge #03636-I348: A Thousand and One Uses

"Please don't."

"What are you talking about?"

"I know that look, I realize this is a hijacking, but don't do it."

"Aw, but it'll be fun!"

"Do I need to remind you of how many hours you spent in decontamination?"

"Fine! I'll go and stop them in the normal bloody suit. You're no fun!" -- Anon Guest

Humans and their fun. They leaped off of tall things with only special suits and good timing to stop a fatal splat at the other

Wednesday, Wordpress, Crimbolio Shopping

It's raining, it's pouring, and my face says it's going to get worse because Cyclone Headache.

Yay.

We do have moneys but IDK if I'll be able to use any of it and my current assets are scant.

I'm also pondering the penning of a Wordpress entry about all the AI "art" that's popping up and how it's a novelty and not the end of creativity as we know it.

Yes, Taylor Swift is "writing" a movie with AI, and none of

Challenge #03635-I347: Offered Cup of Kindness

They were demon-born, filled with hate and rage. They gained an army of demon-borns, and conquered a land. All of them fueled with the same rage borne from years of mistreatment, betrayal, and cruelty. Can the gentle act of a small handful of humans, and others, soothe these darkened hearts back into the light before it's too late? -- The New Guy

When all you have ever known is hate, it is easy to feel it overtake you. In the grand city

Tuesday, Patreon and Cans Run

YES! I am finally doing it! I am loading up my zippy little car and cashing in all the full bags of bottles and cans.

Two of those bags become profits for Miss Chaos because she put the work in on filling them.

When I come back from that running around, that's when I share the stuff I have to offer on Patreon.

Tomorrow, I plan on beginning the bullet-point summary of Beauties and the Beastly. It's unedited, it's in a faux-Victorian-lit

Challenge #03634-I346: Incoming!

The lady came by post. -- From Rowean

The cryocoffin was covered in hoarfrost. It had batteries and auxiliary power sources enough to see its occupant safely into the current set of hands. There were also a disturbing number of rerouting stickers visible under the ice.

Thank the Powers that there was also a manual. How to make sure the unit was powered. How to make certain the occupant was still viable. Finally, how to safely thaw and revive once the reader

Monday, Internet Fail

I had my internet connection bork out on me last night. Right in the middle of a stream. I gave up on reconnecting closer to the end of the game stream and went to bed.

Now that morning has broken, and the internet is back, I shall be streaming once all of my nonsense is organised.

As for PLNs for the day? I might actually do a cans run since I'm adequately rested and the Foundry isn't doing any reading. Any extra

Challenge #03633-I345: Really Big Softy

A Human has a pair of massive Maine Coon cats. They're gentle, fluffy, and HUGE. Needless to say, until they get to know the felines, some Havenworlders are terrified. The poor things are rescue cats from a cruel Deregger who had them declawed. -- Anon Guest

The Human had a pair of predators as pets. Because of course a Human saw nothing wrong with keeping predators in their habitat. Deathworlders. They were all the same. Right up to claiming their carnivorous beasts

Sunday, Game Night and Budgets

I figured that if I set a limit to my present-buying shenanigans, then it won't break the bank.

Not publishing my limits because fam reads this. I don't want to shame them just because we like to have expensive shit.

I have a quarter of the next map drawn, and I'm focussing on making critter counters for the eventual game. Huzzah.

I might be able to finish the floor plan of the second map. Then I experiment with how to keep tokens

Challenge #03632-I344: You Think You're Smart

The prophecy, a young girl of humble means will rise up against tyranny. With no sword in hand, only the heart, the tyrant will end, balance restored, and peace once more to a war-torn land. -- Anon Guest

Tyrants generally mislike prophecies in which they get overthrown. It's a whole thing. One would think that, when faced with a prophecy about heroes with humble beginnings, a tyrant might actually eliminate any kind of humble setting by -say- affording their peasants some decent

Saturday, Parkrun & PLNs

Second complete parkrun. I get a milestone after about a year of these, so I shall see if I can make it that long.

There's another after TEN years, and I'm currently like haha good joke there mate.

We will be able to do Crimbolio shopping when we have money again, this coming Tuesday. THAT is when I shall go out into the wilderness and attempt to return with something cool for everyone I love.

With a very limited budget.

I have

Challenge #03631-I343: Core Education

More lessons for the young man, maybe a few life lessons on self care, and self confidence? Maybe, eventually, helping others from that school?

https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-03570-i281-object-lessons#comments -- Anon Guest

They say that the oldest magic is the strongest, and they're not wrong. In the glory days of forgotten empires, there were less people for more magic. So of course every spell was stronger and had lasting power.

In the more recent day, such as the days Strodius

Friday, Forgotten PLNs and Chaos

Not Miss Chaos, the generalised chaos that seems to go hand-in-hand with my life as I know it.

So it's natural that I forgot I was taking Pippi to get her shots. I also forgot that Beloved and I were getting our hair did today.

Mayhem refused to help me with the recycling, so I got Miss Chaos to do the same thing and will be paying her when all the work is done. Win for her.

I have made a start

Challenge #03630-I342: And Two Hands For You

A person finds Wraithvine and friends. They present hir with boots made especially for long, hard, wearing, with spells embedded in the boots to boost longevity of the materials, though they were well made to be proofed even against mud and water. Also new clothes also made for centuries of wearing, and a brand new heavy winter clothing. The same person made clothing and new footwear for hir friends, and even a little winter jacket for Lilbit, though was unsure how to

Thursday, Scrombling PLNs

I have worked out that I am going to have to set up each map before my players play it. Huzzah. In the meantime, I can make sure there's counters for all the mobs in advance and do the reading ahead and all that nonsense. Huzzah.

So I am scrombling to make sure I have all the tokens. Which means that I can go on and start drawing the next level so this whole thing can maybe go faster.

Whee.

I should
