Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Tuesday, Leyland's Tour Ahoy

Mum needs help with stuff so I'm on the road again. Yoiks and away.

[Which reminds me, I need to stop procrastinating on pitching my books at people. I have found another agency I can pitch at, so they get the book(s) the other ones aren't looking at. Diversity, baby]

I will attempt some minor jiggery-pokery in GameMaker to keep the streak going, tonight. After all the other offerings are done.

The sooner I have all the buttons going 'click', the better. BUT I also acknowledge that I only have so many spoons, and to accept my limits.

And face my fears and go through with my plns and try my best.

I believe in me, so all I have to do is get others to believe in me too.

It'll help when I lose a little hope, here and there.

Challenge #04397-L013: Let Me Help

Why are you so desperate to get rid of your magic?

"All I ever do is hurt those I love most."

Have you ever thought to find a teacher?

"Who'd teach a useless waste of life like me?"

Alright... lesson one... you're not a useless waste of life. -- Anon Guest

To make the world a better place was a bigger job than Wraithbind thought. The first thought to tackle was, Who am I making the world better for?

A world made

Monday, Shenanigans Ahead

I PLN on making heritable buttons today. No matter what, they will all go 'click'. Other functions will happen later.

When I figure that mess out.

Bread is postponed until Wednesday, because MeMum needs my car and tomorrow is the best time for shenanigans of that ilk.

I think Thursday/Friday might be the best day for posting stuff to Patreon. Trying to remember to do that is the hurdle for me to overcome.

I have ordered the second half of my

Challenge #04396-L012: Foundling Need

A family invites Wraithvine and friends to stay with them for the holiday and until the new year. The youngest among them, a human that was adopted, keeps calling Gikka, 'little sister' despite Gikka being older than them, and begs Gikka to please stay with them as family. -- Anon Guest

The Human that the family had adopted - stolen fair and square if one asked their Harukh mother - was considered "a bit simple" by many. Still, they could be relied

Sunday, Game Night and Shenanigans

I now possess all the things necessary to make the new bread cutter guide thing. Now all I need is the time and the energy to put it together. I have half the buttons added to GameMaker and I'm about to add the rest into the system.

Then I study up about heritable stuff. Groups and subgroups if available.

Since little enough time is left in today, I think the programming stuff may happen tomorrow. Between bread folding sessions.

Oh yeah. I'm

Challenge #04395-L011: Standing Out? Outstanding!

The bullies tricked the person into consuming something the person was severely allergic to. The mage that saved the person got pissed, and taught the bullies why such behavior was a BAD idea. -- Anon Guest

Orleth the Incredulous was minding her own business when she found the kid wheezing and turning red as their hands and face began swelling up. Some quick work with an antitoxin spellwork brought them the ability to breathe again. Orleth stayed nearby and offered her arms

Saturday, Parkrun and Further PLNs

I aim get the buttons sorted out this afternoon. I have the mock-ups to go off of when I do all of that. I have the assets ready. I have the instructions. All that's left is a few minutes of jiggery-pokery.

All that's standing in my way is my inhibiting terror that this will all blow up on me. Again.

I've had so many setbacks on this thing that I'm overdue some setforwards.

But before I get on with that, I'm doing

Challenge #04394-L010: Consequences, the Ultimate Lesson

Don't piss off that quiet, small, human reading her book. Small doesn't mean meek. -- Anon Guest

Sooner or later, civilisations learn the reason behind the saying, Watch out for the little guy. Some unfortunates insist on learning it again and again. Such as the two schoolyard bullies observing the local nerd in the library.

Neither of them could pin down exactly how or why the nerd became the school's favourite target. "Being weird" was generally excuse enough.

There was currently no

Challenge #04393-L009: Fluffy Puffy Omnicidal Vengeance

A human brings two very fluffy, but small, dogs with them. These dogs become the pirates' worst nightmare when they attack the ship. -- Anon Guest

On first impressions, they looked like amorphous blobs of fuzz. One black and one white. Only when they woke did they seem to sprout feet and, in the case of the white one, little beady eyes. Portions of the floof oscillated as Human Ela called their names.

"Mune? Nux? Heel."

The snuffling fuzzballs were no bigger

Thursday, Further PLNs

Today, to further my PLNs for Pseuducku, I'll be making certain I have all assets necessary to proceed. That may take all my allotted Pseuducku time today.

I also need to get into my Patreon and share all the things accomplished since the last time I posted.

I don't even know how much I have to share. I should check up on such things.

When I finish my stretchies [and a bit more of ADT], I will be getting on with all

Challenge #04392-L008: Memorial Ceremony

Why, my human friend, do you shed tears, and raise a glass, alone like this, every year?

"Because, my kind rescuer, there are so many of us that didn't get out of there in time." -- Anon Guest

It was time, again. The same day on the calendar of the world that Human Kie had been born on. Companion Wes kept watch on that calendar, all so he could keep watch on Kie and hir ritual. To make certain ze didn't end

Wednesday, Rant and PLNs

I am definitely going to share some thoughts about the game, What Remains of Edith Finch. I also have goals to acquire things to make a different kind of bread cutter guide for Miss Chaos.

Step one - finding a small wooden bread board for cheap - has been a bit of a stumbling block. If I get my nonsense out early today, I shall try some other venues to acquire the necessary materials.

The idea being that, if slicing bread vertically

Challenge #04391-L007: Lives in Her Hands

They were quite close to me. They have so much magic potential. I have no magic, no money, and no knowledge on how to help. Please kind elf, help us? -- Anon Guest

It is known, even amongst the most simple, that those with magic in their blood or bones will leak it. Happy baby Elves sparkle. Upset infant Hellkin make the shadows writhe and the walls bleed. And a neophyte Sorcerer... well. It depends entirely on the origin of their power.

Tuesday, It's Been...

One week into '25, we're each hoping we all get to stay alive...

Okay I'm done riffing on Barenaked Ladies.

Yesterday's Leyland's Tour was cut short because (a) I forgot my prescription, and, (b) I could not find a cheap breadboard so I could create a different kind of bread cutting guide.

I'll get back on that track tomorrow.

I am now a proud owner of a better, firmer knee brace. Which is tight enough to control my patella but not tight
