I like the lunar event in #thatskygame. It's a moment of thought and calm (and bunnies) before the chaos of Days of Mischief.

The addition of the pavilion and memorial lanterns was a nice touch.
A floating lantern during the Lunar event in Sky: Children of the Light, intended to carry a message to a missed loved one. It reads: "Grandpa, and Papa: She's 13 now. I wish you two were here to see the wonderful, compassionate, kind human she's becoming. I'm not the best parent, but I want to do you two proud. I love you. I miss you." It is signed with a single alembic emoji.

I'm trying to get my setup somewhat less of a fire hazard. My hands ache. :<
A pen doodle: "CABLE MGMT DAY", with a small "s" added in brackets next to it implying the task has taken multiple days so far. Below, chibi heads of Elixir and Faranae have tired expressions. Elixir asks "Yay?", and Fara replies "Yay." They are tired. The bottom of the page cuts off, but features a crudely-drawn diagram of a desk clamp.

As reluctant as I was to let Cat have a Discord account, I must admit that being in her group chats has its advantages.
A message sent in a Discord group chat: If any of y'all are in range of my spawn, can they remind her she was supposed to check in half an hour ago? [SAD EMOJI] [In tiny text:] I really have to get her a SIM... [In bold text:] Edit: SPAWN LOCATED.

Is it a bit ironic to request a label for the Unlabeled?

Wikipedia: "Unlabeled sexuality is when an individual chooses not to label their sexual identity. [...] Because being unlabeled is the purposeful decision of no sexual identity, it is different from bisexuality or any other sexual identity."
The Unlabeled pride flag which consists of 4 horizontal stripes. From top to bottom: Pale green representing freedom, white for understanding, pale blue for acceptance, and pale orange for flexibility.

Kev has named my rubber duck. Henceforth, he shall be known as Rupert!
A rubber duck dressed in a robe and wizard hat sits on a piece of computer equipment. Around the duck's neck is a tiny handmade name tag on a woven chain which reads: "Hello, my name is Rupert".

If you're ever in need of the "High-Five a Friend" quest in #skygame, I'd like to point out that uncle Ansel is very friend-shaped and using the emote from his tree will complete your quest! :)

While chatting about the Oblivion remaster, I came to a realization: Thousands of hours across multiples machines and I, uh... Never actually finished the MSQ. Did everything else, but not the main story. I should remedy that.
A list of Faranae's achievements for the original Oblivion on the Xbox360, filtered to display only those missing. The only entries not yet achieved are those related to the main storyline, revealing that she never completed the game.

Treasure Reef's portal once again proving itself to be the most glitchy boat in the game and justifying my refusal to use it unless absolutely necessary. 😰

(No, it is not supposed to be sideways.)
A screenshot from the game Sky: Children of the Light The player stands on a sandy beach, looking at a sideways boat off the shore with a small glowing portal on it. The player's speech bubble says "I don't think I'm taking the boat."

As a Moments moth, I am so happy the Season of Radiance has given me an excuse to visit uncle Ansel more often!

Thinking on it... Aside from the Elders, do any spirits in #thatskygame besides Ansel have canon names? He's the only one that comes to mind, but I may be missing someone...

(Basically this.)

We are now LED-ready I suppose! It's so cool, I think 6000K? I couldn't find anything over 4000K!
The hardest part was figuring out how to disassemble my lamp to get to the ballast. After that, rewiring the internals was a 5 minute job.
I wonder if I can get another decade out of this lamp...
An old, yellowing craft lamp illuminates a black desk, acting as a spotlight over a small chunk of electronics that used to be inside of it; With the successful removal of this device, the lamp can now use more efficient LED bulbs.

Extraction successful!!
So after my last lamp post, a *second* bulb arrived. This one was an LED bulb that fit *almost* perfectly! (I'm not sure why it was sent to me? It's not in my order history?!) One problem: My CFL lamp would fry any LED bulb I tried to install. So... Ballast removal time!
A small square object resembling a motherboard, called a ballast, sits on a table. There are six snipped wires visible where the device has been cut away from its host.

Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture... SAW AND FILE TIME!! :D
Two CFL lightbulbs that look nearly identical except for the bases, which have subtle plastic bumps in different spots. They are set on a cutting mat next to a small hand saw and file set. A small cartoon is depicted next to them crying but giving a reassuring thumbs-up.

My bulb is coming a few weeks early~!

It was SO hard finding a 4-pin 2G11 base CFL bulb under 18 watts? My lamp can't fit anything longer than 7 inches (shush). It's only 4100K though. :(

It's going to be SO NICE having my old lamp back considering my current, uh, workaround...?

I was so curious what my partner was making tonight... Turns out he was elevating the everloving heck out of some instant ramen packets! It's so good!

The cold weather has arrived, which means it's time to break out one of the best gifts I've ever received. Behold: The Owl Socks. (The wings flap!!)
Warm novelty socks with bulky, plush owl faces sewn onto the toes. Each sock has wings that are only partially sewn on, so they can flap when shaken.
