Plague Diary

A 1694-post collection

Monday, Progression of PLNs

I have one duck left to draw, and then it's CODING TIME. Oh my sweet powers, I need a lot of help with that.

I shall be searching with the Duck Of Wisdom [duckduckgo] to see if there's anything that will help me actually make a firkin GAME.

Further bulletins on that as events warrant.

As for today, I shall be finishing a chapter that I started in the morning, doing the daily meme and the daily tale.

Then I get back to playing Baldur's Gate 3 as Kosh.

Screencaps if my followers on Tungl ask for them. Shown also there.

Onwards to complete chapter 314 of my ever-growing tale.

Sunday, Games and Streams and Fun Times

We're back into the game and, after some MONDO dicking around, the crew got into some PLOT!

Fenri has a surprise sister. Fiver's found her kid that she forgot she had, and both of them and the asshole that killed Fiver's lover are in a carnival in the thrall of an Archfey.

And I threw Marvellous Magical Marvin in there too. For the lols.

I have to make up a bunch of intelligent attractions that are also in the thrall of a

Saturday, Parkrun and Impending Panic

I am waking up early tomorrow morning, and it looks like the rainbow crowd is having a game night tonight.

Whheeeeeeee...

I shall probably end up spending a lot of my weekend asleep, this time around.

I don't expect a lot of extracurricular activities until after Monday.

I shall get my offerings done, maybe play a bit of Baldur's Gate 3, and then catch a napnap before tonights game.

I'm going to check that it's really on before committing to being awake

Friday, some good firkin news

Doctor Who has hired a trans actor for a role in one of their specials! For the rainbow crowd, this is excellent news. There's a high possibility of some halfway decent trans representation.

The negative side of this is all the incel basement-dwellers will be pre-emptively howling "Go woke, go broke!" before we even see them. And there's a high statistical likelihood of Bury Your Gays since fucking MOFFAT is back on the team.

He likes to treat the rainbow crowd as

Thursday, Further Shenanigans

I have STUFF to do. Lots of it. Starting with: I just stitched together the best possible resolution map of Waterdeep. I shall be messing around with Owlbear so I am prepared for a RETURN TO THE GAME

AUGH!

I'm terrified to do it but also committed to doing it so finding out how to do it by fuckin' around is going to be beneficial in the long term for my PLNs.

I have done all the just-in-case recordings, so now all

Wednesday, Wordpress, Ekka Day

Queensland's having a public holiday so everyone can catch and spread the latest infectious disease at the Ekka Showgrounds, and thereafter their school or workplace.

Huzzah.

I am staying the flakk away from that noise. The QPP are playing Baldur's Gate 3 together. It's only tonight that we go out to place and do thing.

It's Beloved's Outaversary, so she dictates the entire evening.

And it's in my best interests to get the offerings out as quickly as I can so that

Tuesday, Patreon and Budget Hole

I thought payday was today.

I was WRONG.

So now I'm four days' short on the cat food accounts. I have sought out advice on what to do about this, but I suspect the felines will be getting kibble only and giving death glares for that duration.

I plan on finishing a chapter I started this morning before posting everything I have to offer up on Patreon.

There shall be offerings at some point and at another, I shall draw another duck.

Monday, Return to 'Normal'

The schedule is back in action as Beloved is free to do such. I had her in my bed for the first time in six firkin weeks. Needless to say that I am in a much better mood this morrow.

I have also warned Beloved not to do any more stunts.

I have drawn today's duck [four of nine] and if I keep going at this rate, I shall have to do some coding soon.

Le Dread.

I'm shit at programming and

Sunday, Streaming and Snuggles

As I write this, my Beloved is likely stirring herself from bed or is already in the markets with Adorable.

It's when they're done with THAT that Beloved boards a train and I go to pick her up for the rest of the day.

Fun times ahead for us.

In about half an hour, I shall be streaming some flash fiction. Thereafter, I may or may not take a napnap before my Beloved calls for a pickup.

It will loan me plenty

Saturday, Parkrun and Leyland's Tour

Beloved has taken a disused computer tower from our place to Adorable's so there's more chance of us sharing games or such of the like.

Tomorrow, I do my stream nonsense, and then pick up Beloved at the train station for a day of Baldur's Gate and snuggles.

Today, I get on with my offerings and have a napnap.

Tomorrow, I fully anticipate getting buggerall else done but the barest of basics.

Stay tuned for that.

Let's get going.

Friday, An Attempt

I tried to change things up with The Bikkie this week. In that I was attempting to create something different, I succeeded.

In that I was trying for something tasty... I failed.

In retrospect, I should have let it rise longer and maybe punched it down more than once. Live. Learn. Maybe next time.

The result was a brick of a loaf. One heavy food item, but not a sod, thank the Powers.

I got a little over halfway through it before

Thursday, Game Night and Relax Perhaps?

I'm going through some emotional stuff between Beloved and myself. Stress and stressors and anxiety all in an unseemly heap and date night was a lot of crying and argument.

I'm getting all that unloaded in a different blog.

Stuff off my chest accomplished, I'm still feeling a little frazzled. I am going to go offline to draw ducks after I am done doing the offerings for the interwebs.

...and the voice recordings for Adorable so she can hear my novel in

Wednesday, Wordpress and NEWS

All going well, Beloved shall be returning to my abode next week. Probably.

She will want to binge some chapters since...

Chapter count: About to commence Ch 310

I've been busy despite the Lurgi.

I also need to figure out the time windows for arting. I shall sit somewhere comfortable and at least do a sketch layer for one duck. Possibly whilst semi-watching some comfort entertainment for the white noise.

I have some Wordpress to publish, some chapters to record, some plot

Tuesday, Patreon, art PLNs

I just put out my Patreon stuff and, given the audio files I had on hand, I refuse to feel guilty about the lack of chapters in the WIP.

Some things are easier to do when crook than others. Like... taking advantage of a buffer zone.

...heh.

I have other offerings to cast out into the digital waters, more chapters to read, and maybe even a chapter to write.

Since the cold is mostly over but the chunks in my bronchii, I'm

Sunday, Still croaky

My voice is still doing dumb shit so I can't record more chapters for Adorable today. Bum.

I really should track down at least one stylus so I can progress with Pseuducku and better art than the shitty concept doodles I did in Lunacy already.

So my PLN is thus:

  • [X] Write this blog
  • [X] Listen in to Tale Foundry
  • [X] Work on the prompt
  • [ ] Daily tale
  • [ ] Meme in the Fediverse
  • [ ] Archeology [unearth a stylus]

I'm still taking in a lot of
