I've been receiving the same two blueprints daily since Tuesday after a week without any. It's the third time TODAY I've gotten these blueprints. I choose the combat augment because rats camp extracts, and I need a stronger shield to avoid getting got.

#ARCRaiders Log: Reagent Run

While searching topside for valuables, I joined another Raider looking for Lab Reagents. We survived a brutal battle with a Rocketeer and an ambush by raiders, nearly bleeding out. We found no reagents but made it out alive. Future ARC raids are going to be exciting. 🔥

The atmosphere in Where Winds Meet is thick and moody. 🌫️ They absolutely nailed the lighting and overall vibe. Found this abandoned spot while exploring—the beauty of this game is truly next-gen! Congrats to the team on the international launch. #WhereWindsMeet #Atmospheric #PCGaming

Seriously, the environment design in Where Winds Meet is next level. Just look at this view! You can tell NetEase put a ton of effort into making this Chinese martial arts world immersive and gorgeous. 🌬️☔

Unlocked "Comparative Study" (use 4 different weapons in the Practice Range). The shocking part? Only 8.5% of players have done this! It confirms my suspicion: the world is too engaging—who has time for a firing range when there are ARCs to fight? #ARCRaiders #AchievementHunter #ActionOverPractice

More raiding achievements: 1) Proved it's "Not Over Till It's Over" by crawling back to Speranza while downed. 2) Brought down the Big Guns (a Rocketeer!) before they could cause trouble. Survival is a mindset. What's your best escape story? #ARCraiders #GamingAchievements #Survival

The story behind this achievement: I rescued a downed Raider, but couldn't heal him. His solution? He told me to use the Raider Tool to finish him for the achievement. Cooperative elimination! I even apologized. What's your most chaotic gaming story? #ARCraiders #AchievementHunter #GamerStories

Those colossal, spider-like machines are the Emperors, the ultimate architects of chaos. They're on the move, and the only thing between them and this ruined coast is the gear on my back. Time to earn the title of Raider.

💥 Dropping into the Topsides in Arc Raiders tonight and I am absolutely hooked!
​Seriously, this is one of the best extraction shooters I've played in a long time. Time to get this bread (and maybe a new blueprint)!
​Who's raiding tonight?

Someone I haven't spoken to in almost a year reached out to pretend like he cared about me as a person. This was just so he could talk to me about the fact that Charlie Kirk got killed today. His exact word was murdered, and that's fine. I said fuck Charlie Kirk. 1/7

I'm just venting. I have a German Shepherd. I've had him since he was 4 weeks old. His eyes were still grey when I held him in my lap the whole drive home. He puked on me during the ride. 😅 Having a German Shepherd is like having a consistently 2 year old child with you.

I worked with @studiowanwan.bsky.social to develop a scene from my novel. I think it's great work. We'll be working on character refinement over the next couple of weeks! Maybe even some other scenes!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if people can't be friends with you because you're not friends with them on strictly their terms, they never wanted to be your friend in the first place. You can't be the one that is always compromising your boundaries.

I'm excited to introduce you to Sayou Sakura 🌸, the main character of my story, Sakura: Dorei. She's a 13-year-old navigating a unique existence as a half-human/half-yurei-jin (think vampire-ish). Imagine the challenges of living quite literally between two worlds!

So, I'm being moved into a new role at the company for which I work. I'm effectively going to be the architect of architects, working on building the business through cloud infrastructure standardization across regions (global company and all that).

Everytime someone from #WIPSnips or the #WritingCommunity likes something I post I'm already signing books or manga covers for adoring fans that definitely don't exist. And this is why I can't have nice things. 😂

Halfway through Chapter 6 and this is shaping up much better than the first draft. So. Much. Better. I still have no idea what I'm doing. 😅 #writing

Sooooo, we're just gonna rewrite Chapter 6. Yep! I'm 14 scenes deep and I just hate the pacing. It's got bones, but it's just not paced correctly.

I started mapping in POE2. I know, I know, I'm slow. Anyway, no issues then suddenly I got deleted on a map that I had no business dying on. Played that flippin' map 6 times. Died 5 times.

So, I saw some Insta-famous person ranting about the TikTok ban ... and honestly, it was like they were living in a different reality. I mean she went all the way off about the government doing nothing else bipartisan except banning a social media app ... well....

So, we did get some snow. I woke up (I work nights) to the street already cleaned up, which is nice. I expected more honestly, everyone made it sound like a blizzard was coming. This was nothing.

I've been working with @studiowanwan.bsky.social to develop character concepts. They've been doing a great job and I while I would like to characterize it as a collaboration, they have all the talent, I'm just watching them create cool stuff.

Just checked out Asmongold playing "The First Berserker", and it's piqued my interest! The art style is really impressive, and while the level design might not be groundbreaking, it gets the job done.
