The warehouse is DONE. I will probably switch out a lot of the wooden crates for more Goblin themed metal ones to give some more variation, but at the moment I don't have NEARLY enough crystals to buy enough. This warehouse is HUGE.

I went and got that Pringles promotion bow tie... I uhh... It sure is a thing.

Not exactly my style.

A tip for any people doing the Mechagon Endeavor in your #warcrafthousing neighborhood.

You can use the scrap gathering magnet to pick up the robotic chickens and turn them in at BULK. I think I prefer getting a bunch of them like this, instead of running back and forth with just three.

I got just enough room allowance from hitting lvl 5 with my WoW house that I decided to add something I've wanted from the start. A massive Raiders of the Last Arc style warehouse.

It's coming along nicely. I'll post screenshots when I finish. Thank GOD most crates are worth 1 decor point.

With endeavors available in #worldofwarcraft I was finally able to complete my idea for an automated assembly line in Foreman Gridcog's factory. The screenshots don't really deliver the full effect the drive belts give, but I think even the stills give a pretty good idea.

Super happy with this one.

After several days of playing #hytale I can say I'm pretty damn satisfied with the early access. I've gotten a lot out of it and though there are some mob AI and spawn issues, it's a damn solid starting point

I also love how functional playing as NPC models like Trorks is. A win for an RPer like me

You know, I've actually wanted to make a lot more collages of Ashur'am's life during the time under the barriers. It's such a grim, prolonged torture for the K'areshi and the story potential for what that time was described as in the Locus Walker short story was so dark.
Ashur'am, my Ethereal OC, during the withering of K'aresh as the great barriers were erected.

Ashur'am's oath was to serve the people, to give guidance and to help the K'areshi keep their Oaths. But as the people wasted away, some succumbing to madness, Ashur'am began to lose his faith as well.

I dabble in all sorts of art forms for my OCs. I do illustration, 3D collages using models from WoW, writing for Roleplay in the game and of course Roleplay itself.

Foreman Gridcog's language skills:
Goblin - For obvious reasons
Common - Fluent, thanks to Goblin society being very multicultural
Gnomish - Knows how to read the language, for schematics and instructions of machinery developed by Gnomes

NEW: Dabbling in studying Earthen runes for work

Beein playing a LOT of Hytale the last couple of days. While I've been playing the game with the Trork model as my main RP choice, this is what the avatar character I made looks like underneath.

It's just blocky Foreman Gridcog. (it's pretty close to the real thing)

I think most of us try to actively keep our heads from getting too big, but I won't say no when given PERMISSION to boast.

When I lock in, I can cram a TON of detail into my art. Wood grain, skin blemishes, cute little scenes taking place in the background that you need a magnifying glass to see.

Holy crap. The player armor DOES show up on NPC models in #Hytale

I thought I was going to be stuck as baseline Trork, but with this I can actually see the gear. At least the helmets work. I might have to switch to one of the more stripped down Trorks to get all the armor to show up. Niiice.
January 13, 2026 at 7:35 PM
Awww yeah #Hytale early access dropped.

First impressions? I really like it. It really does just feel like a more fleshed out Minecraft. I'm enjoying the vibes a LOT.

I did immediately go into creative mode and changed my character model to a Trork and went back to survival. Love these guys.

Foreman Gridcog is pretty stingy about talking about his past. He's opened up about it to his protegê, but he usually just says few simplified words that gloss over details.

"I worked in a factory since I was a kid. Was involved with gangs."
"...Yeah?"
"Yeah. Now get back to work."

Pre-ordered Hytale and watched some of the latest footage released for the release of the early access in 2 days. The fact there are actually mods to play around with at launch is awesome. I had been using Vintage Story as the OTHER block game successor, but that one has a very different vibe.

Foreman Gridcog wears very standard workboots. Sturdy leather things. He did dabble with some more metal re-enforced ones briefly, but they were much too burdensome for a Goblin like him who is walking around from worksite to the next CONSTANTLY.
January 10, 2026 at 7:15 PM
Foreman Gridcog is used to being on the move. As a Bilgewater Foreman, he's been responsible for worksites around Kalimdor since the Cartel settled there during the Cataclysm. Even before that he was pretty actively moving around Undermine.

An excellent watch (or listen, for about half of the whole thing. Love me some audiobooks)

I agreed with most of the larger points of the review. Horde representation, dropped plots like Thralls whole presence and Alleria's role as the most central character being a bit mehh.
🚨NEW VIDEO NOW LIVE!🚨

The big one. Finally the War Within Review is out. I talk about what worked, what didn't work, and why this Expansion fell flat for me.

Check it out when you've the chance. Thank you!

I found an old art gallery I had on Newgrounds. Found a bunch of my old art on there that I thought had been lost when I deleted my DA gallery in a fit of despair. This stuff is from 2009-2011

Running Darkflame Cleft is funny on my Void Ethereal OC, because the last boss "The Darkness" is like a puppy dog for an Ethereal that has been marinating in THE VOID™️for over a 100k years.

"Wait... THIS is what you are making a fuss over?"

Broke the 400 follower milestone. Thanks everyone!

I'm not the most active poster and mostly just go on about my little obsessions, but I'm glad some of my art things do good on here too. Feels great!
