1) unexpected moments in #WhereWindsMeet (yes, I am also a cute doggo in this scenario) (wow am I bad at this game) 2) pretty! if we're acquainted and you're playing, my character name is the same there as my username is here. I've been solo mode so far, so I haven't explored most of the group stuff

A bit of the physical TBR/ACR/ACRR* pile, featuring @thoughtsstained.bsky.social and @sevenseasentertainment.com. After looking at the photo I realized that these are all by women (AFAIK), though I didn't do that on purpose

I just really wanted her to have a strong jaw y'all (generic starter outfit/weapons, earrings from pre-reg bonus). I see reviews are mixed and there are clearly some problems, but I like wuxia enough to want to poke around. Controls might defeat me but that's a skill issue on my part #WhereWindsMeet

It's possible you'll need to enable this in settings? The box for open tabs was already checked for me, but without % it still wasn't finding them 🙃

Yesss it's here, the first Chinese f/f wuxia novel I've been able to buy in print and in English: The Beauty's Blade 美人剑 by Feng Ren Zuo Shu 封刃作
(Just like the old days of buying manga in the US, this newly-published book is actually about 10 years old)

this Wechat emoji is my candidate for "pictorial communication cannot be assumed to be crosscultural"
(it doesn't mean "I want to give you a Satanic phone call" or even "you're a surfing demon", it means "amazing/awesome/smooth")

I'm easygoing about CG, I don't nitpick a lot in general especially when there's magic in a setting, and I am enjoying Shui Long Yin so far but WHY IS THAT WHEEL DRY! WHY IS IT JUST LIGHTLY SKIMMING THE SURFACE! WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S *FOR*!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING! Ahem. cough. ok. it's fine, I'm fine

it was Not ideal trick-or-treating weather (high winds advisory & all), but we gave out a fair amount of treat bags anyway. I only saw 1 skimpy costume and it was an accurate (non-sexified) Princess Mononoke, so points to her for sticking it out. (And us for surviving the whole evening on the porch)

"We hope you enjoy your Demonic Korean Magnetic Magpie" is one of the best sentences I've ever read (and I will, friends, I will).
Its feet come off so that you can use the magnet base to attach it somewhere, e.g. your shoulder. Made by yangban3D (they're on Instagram and Etsy).

I mean it is a different experience to read it thinking "hmm this character has 10 years to live, historically" and "hmm this character is going to be emperor, historically" but I think both reading experiences will be valuable. (I've only started it, since I have work to do.) Cover art by Cappa888

Some people think 盜墓筆記 DMBJ dramas are dangerous because they could give young Chinese people the idea to go exploring underground or literally raid tombs. But let's be real, the MOST dangerous idea that DMBJ teaches is that you can successfully run away from actively murderous insect swarms! 太不科學了
