Artist, servant to a Most(ly) Benevolent Feline Overlord. Geocacher. Also rediscovering a love of gaming thanks to my fiancé. Pagan who loves nature and the Netjer. Also tea - because Bram Stroker had it wrong. Blood isn't the life. Tea is.
Playing: Warframe

I'm at that point of the game where I've ranked high enough that I feel like a gangly teenager - nothing seems to work as reliably as it once did; the bad guys are bullying me (I seem to be dying a LOT) and I just haven't found my rhythm again yet.

My fiancé while playing Magic: The Gathering Arena...

"COME AT ME BRO!

Oh. He's coming at me."

Gamer hot take of the day:

Cut scenes can hold IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Just because you're on a farming tear and have seen it ten times, it's not necessarily true that everyone else on the team has too.

Don't decide for the entire team that we don't need it!

There's a Ditto masquerading as my warframe...

Is this a ship or a parrotfish?

WIP for fun drawing of a Pathfinder character I'm currently playing. The idea is to do illustrated player sheets with watercolor added later.

Hey, look at me, all early instead of tragically late on wishing people good things.

I hope those in the United States can find some good cheer and have a good Thanksgiving.

I hope everyone else has a good Thursday.

I heard part of an interview on NPR about Ghost of Yotei. I came in just as they were talking about Akira Kurosawa and how the game has a Kurosawa Mode. I fell in love with Seven Samurai and how he composed many of the scenes as if they were paintings.

I must play it! Alas, it's only on PS5.

Current game: Assassin's Creed: Origins

Me: "Ah yes. I am a great and stealthy assassin."

There seems to be a quest for me in the living room.

Playing Warframe...Aarrgghh!

This level 8 mastery test is kicking my butt! It looks like it should be easy - shoot the target, jump to the next in the segment in the path...wash, rinse, repeat.

But noooooo...:::_sigh_::::

Nyaal says he can sense a shard is near and we should be on the lookout for it.

Gee, I wonder where it is?

I've failed the timed challenge to get the unearth shard three times. I've gotten my butt kicked by a shell breaker more than a few times while trying to close a corruption breach.

I guess I should go to bed, considering it's 3:30 in the morning. But damn, I love this game.

Arrgghh. One of these days, I will learn the ins and outs of this app. I accidentally hid the entire thread instead of what I wanted to do.

Anyway, it was about posting a photo of your pet when it was young. Here's Ari when he first arrived in 2017.

Post a picture of when your pet was little.

I was already big.

I'm a bit late, but may the coming year bring all the good and joy that you can handle.

Happy :::_insert the holidays you celebrate here_::: y'all!

One of these days, I'll talk about something else, but today is not that day. I've had a great time gaming with my fiancé and trying out several new (to me) games: Hogwarts Legacy, Once Human, Assassin's Creed Origins (it keeps freezing.)

You can only talk yourself into showing up to draw on days when you don't feel like it if you're certain of the reason why you're showing up.

Other people's expectations, opinions, or desires aren't good reasons.

Find YOUR why.

Tonight's game was Syberia - The World Before.

It's a good game, but good *god,* is there a lot of exposition in it! This is not a sit-down-and-casually-play-thirty-minutes game. This is a Be Prepared to Put At Least a Couple of Hours In Once You Hit Start game.
