Ironheart here giving me strong Triage flashbacks.
I forgot that worker ant women were the size of lions so when she wound up on the wrong side of a tantruming one, she was left fucking quadriplegic for a while. Genuinely, a couple of inches to the right and she'd have died.

In all my entirely-too-many hours of #DwarfFortress, necromancers are something I've never managed to take full advantage of.
Cross another one off the bucket list, the reanimation chamber worked exactly as advertised!
The fact that it only works during the full moon adds to the charm.

#DwarfFortress So I was under the impression that werebeasts were a bit more immune to traps than this. This one just walked smack into a cage trap while beelining for my expedition leader.
What do I do with her, is the question.
What does one do with potentially the world's first weresloth.

I'm terrible at using photo mode in this game but this screenshot of Agnes Digital chasing after three summer Maruzenskys is both a.) Very funny to me personally and 2.) An accurate encapsulation of my overall Virgo cup experience.

I decided "fuck it, I'm tired of bowing to the meta and planning ahead" and did some gacha pulls to reward myself for powering through the Long Dark Night of Essay Writing and
The game clearly agreed!
Great to see after my last 5 3* pulls were Rice Shower or Silence Suzuka!

Went to visit a nature trail yesterday! A friend told me about trails where chickadees are so used to humans that they'll take birdseed out of your hand.

I've been trying probably over a dozen times to rank Haru up to B+, and this latest attempt also failed, but she *did* become my first gal to come away with a three-star spark.

Four years I've had Merida, and in all that time the solution to getting her and Bright to get along was "stick them in a car together and drive them to another country."

I mean I don't know about "towers over all other Umamusume" when I'm pretty sure she'd twist an ankle if asked to run 1201 meters, but Curren Chan is the first to win me the Ura Finale so I think she is still officially Best Girl

Seeing this after the soul destroying fuckery of De Santis removing the Pulse memorial got me extremely emotional at 8 in the morning.

#Umamusume Always so funny when one of the gals builds up such a head of speed that it looks like every other racer has ceased to exist

#FFXIV I will say, a lot of the attraction to - not just fascination with - Emet-Selch made a lot more sense to me when I saw the concept art for him.
This art in particular was writing checks that, god bless it, the in-game models had *no* hope of cashing.

#FFXIV #LucidChimeWoL I *really* like this screenshot I took.
There's times when being a Lalafell makes the framing of some cutscenes *extremely funny*
And then there's times where being a Small Creature persevering against all odds just makes it even cooler.

They're so beautiful oh my god I wanna CRY with relief at finally having this done.
Look at this complete, cohesive, matching armor set!!! That I crafted!!! With nothing but some HQ Ceviche, NQ Cunning Craftsman Tisane, and more hours than I want to think about.

What was you WoL thinking during the final battle with Zenos?
Did they agree with him about wanting one last fight just for its own sake? Did they just want a chance to end his villainy for good? Secret third thing?
