Killing god, easy

But making it look like an accident?

*Whistles*

@Leucrotta I couldn't tell you why in specific, but I love the way you tell stories.

@hystericempress It is on Millimax's server also. Originally it felt onerous to split her journalling into 500-character chunks, but I discovered that it lent a certain rhythm not unlike comic panels. I call them "stanzas" because... well, her language is inherently musical but she couldn't carry a tune in a _bag of holding_ (her people consider that a speech disorder!) so it's more like poetry....

See? I'm doing the rambly thing too!

Cats are just knife missiles with anxiety.

@hystericempress Oooh, I love to hear about that sort of character excitement. This is why I have a WorldAnvil page and in-character journal for my unicorn-trending-teapot Millimax, because I just can't shut up about her and the world she's from!

Granted, I'm a little behind on filling it out, but I'm a little behind on everything right now, and it's easy to get lost in WorldAnvil's little nooks and crannies.

re: earworm, old PC game soundtracks, thought 

@packbat A large part of why I'm such a retrogaming enthusiast isn't the gaming itself but the music. Each unique system (well, each unique set of sound hardware) was like a new instrument with its own exploration of texture.

Since the PC had many major types of sound hardware, those textures could vary so much not just from game to game but even within the same game played on different hardware or with different settings. At one point I had both a Sound Blaster 16 Pro and a Gravis UltraSound PNP; true joy was had in listening to a game's MIDI soundtrack over and over, OPL2 and OPL3 old GUS soundbank and InterWave soundbank and sometimes a couple different software synths, to hear what came through best in each.

In modern times, I use plugins for foobar2000 that let me emulate playback on nearly any FM synth chip or patchset at a whim... and often, the originally targeted hardware is still the one that sounds right because of those tasty tasty textures. Yay, DOOM on a grungy OPL2!

Good morning, everycreature! It is Friday, and it is only through our collective effort that we are all here. We made it.

tonight, undead centaur (suggestion thanks to a friend!) with spine spear inspired by the great Dogblud. Listening to Against Me! In a waaaay better mood than when I started… but I think I need to eat something soon.

@packbat This depends on how much Shattered Pixel Dungeon I've been playing. *blush* I love "coffeebreak" roguelikes.

No games? Probably three days, though I charge every night anyhow with only occasional misses.

Games? One to two days.

"buddy I believe in gods you haven't even HEARD of."

looking forward to the Number Munchers cinematic universe

We all mask.

The difference is that normative people can get away with a tiny domino mask while the rest of us have to go full cosplay to feel safe or even functional in public.

The longest lunar eclipse in centuries will happen this week.

The “nearly total” lunar eclipse is expected overnight Thursday, Nov. 18, to Friday, Nov. 19. The eclipse will last 3 hours, 28 minutes and 23 seconds, making it the longest in centuries.

For U.S. East Coast observers, the partial eclipse begins a little after 2 a.m., reaching its maximum at 4 in the morning, for observers on the West Coast, that translates to beginning just after 11 p.m., with a maximum at 1 a.m.
