My latest dungeon in Quest Master, Sneak Level 9000, is done! All I need to do now is verify that it can be solved, so that the community can try it. As per usual, play-testing found a few bugs, which I've since fixed, including one that made it impossible to continue if you took a certain path. ⚠️
It's raining here now, any snow left on the ground will melt soon. Also, I'm tired earlier than usual... think I'll go to sleep early too (even though it's around 7:30pm). Later everyone 💤

The more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards making Baldur's Gate 3 the first game to come off my backlog in 2026. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for the game to download before I can play...

I’m feeling really low and very down currently. Please can I ask the people who care about me to leave something down below? That I can read to cheer me up? Either what you like about me or just something happy?
That would really help me. Or even just a hug. 💛

Decided to re-add an older game, but still the same mindless fun it always is, to the rotation: Amazing Loot Grind. The ads stopped working long ago, but the game is still functional and playable.

Today's elbow update: I drove for the first time since fracturing my elbow. Didn't manage to get very far before pain told me to stop and turn around. At least the car started after being in the cold so long!

Was reading Wikipedia articles about earthquakes when I stumbled upon an extreme example of destruction caused by earthquake induced soil liquefaction obliterating an entire district of a large Indonesian city in 2018... wow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Su...

Good morning 😃
Unfortunately, Mother Nature has started the Big Thaw today 🚫❄️ I'm disappointed, even though I knew it was coming well in advance.

I tried a low-resolution aesthetic with this pixel scene. If you have any suggestions or thoughts, I'm all ears! I'd be as happy as getting an apple if you leave a comment!

Okay, New Year's Resolution... thing, sorta.
I like To-do lists, but I've struggled to find one that I actually use. You know what else I like? Spreadsheets. So I made this really simple one that highlights when a due date is today or in the past. I use one at work. We'll see if it works for home.

I think I've found my new main deck... Earthbound Timelords with Morganite engine. WAY less bricky, plus protection from so many more things than my old deck had :D @kchan.bsky.social

So far, so good, as far as my promise to not buy any new games this year goes (can't say that for in game purchases though...)

Good morning @ghostspydr.bsky.social - greeting you doubles as a convenient excuse to share my monthly reminder that Mariel the ghost spider, cute and harmless as it looks, is toxic to Kirby and shouldn't be inhaled.

The incompetent demons of Dragon Quest games, these Imps know powerful spells, but lack sufficient MP to successfully cast them, causing a wasted turn when they try and fail. 🤣

Morning. Feeling very much on the struggle bus today. Y'all need to be patient with me, I might not respond quickly. 😂

Now that I have a bunch of SR and UR dust, I should start crafting some new decks for #YugiohMasterDuel. I gave my Utopia and Mikanko decks some upgrades recently. Getting quite frustrated at my inability to complete some collector's files...

I'm now into the 15th repeat of every single stage in #LogRogue - the adventures are taking so long that the game can't determine an ending time unless I use the speed up option (because the simulation limit of 48 hours is exceeded) or simply start deeper. 😂🤣

Today's "attempt" at playing #YugiohMasterDuel somehow went even worse than usual. Despite this, I managed to get to Bronze 3 (from Bronze 4). I don't think I will ever reach Diamond rank again (which I did only to unlock the associated Steam achievement).

First day back working went reasonably well. Learned something today, which I always appreciate. I'm going to be stuck on the struggle bus until my elbow heals, though.
