#you were a great item

[personatrash]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I'm glad that they removed cauterize because now, support champions can do more & Hi-Rez just plain HAS to give older champions more attention since Skye, Willow, Tyra, & Mal'Damba are must picks because of their anti-heal & champions like Kinessa & Viktor are seeing use because their high burst damage makes healing more difficult. Overall, removing cauterize might have actually been for the best

#paladins champions of the realm #pcotr #o7 cauterize #you were a great item #but i think we dont need you anymore

#I don't know if the homophobic supervisor or whoever got moved to another project or what... BUT THANK YOU! 💝💝💝 #FINALLY! SOME GOOD FOOD! #I mean I am still side-eyeing the end of chapter 30 because Olruggio's line Should be about how they're finally living under the same roof. #BUT OH MY GOD what a difference everything else makes #They mention alcohol! They admit the loop chalices are usually for wine!! #The word choices for how delicious the food is is so great! #I'm gonna have to look up wtf the bananas are named after but aside from that!!! #Qifrey and Olruggio can actually say each others names and they're so friggin adorable!!! 😤💝 Mr I can go all day!! #I'm so happy ya'll I can't believe it 😭💝 #I feel so hopeful for volume 4 now #Also I'm half-way wondering if maybe they could revisit the translations for volumes 1 and 2 and maybe release an updated version maybe? #because I would absolutely buy those again if it were less censored and had better word choices. Just putting it out there! ❤ #Like maybe after volume 5 do a box-set with a little bonus item maybe and secretly slide-in the more accurate and better translated version #I'd buy it! I'd be first in line!! #Just sayin! #Witch Hat Atelier Kitchen #Witch Hat Kitchen #Orufrey #Witch Hat Atelier #Also there's some REALLY cute moments with the girls #(I say; as a total afterthought; sorry I'm so transparent lmao) #Jade talks WHA

We eatin good tonight lads!

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #in case you were wondering how I did this #you can find a chest called the chest of the mundane in the arcane tower in the underdark #any item put into it becomes mundane #until you take it out #which works great for reducing carry weights and whatnot #cuz you can take your 50 pound bag of camp supplies and turn it into a spoon that weighs 1/100th of the original weight #but any items within the chest can still be accessed as though they were their original form

even if you don’t play DnD definitely go see honor among thieves; it’s super fun and well-done and accessible to people who’ve never played. if you want a slightly enhanced experience, do what I did an go with folks who do play, and ask them some of their favorite settings, character types, creatures, or tropes on the way over so you can be delighted when you recognize something.

#I was so thrilled to know about the underdark #and owlbears and mimics #really enhanced my delight #dndhat #dadhat #idk how long it’s been since I went to the movies #years probably #but it was so much fun #i was really impressed by how enjoyable the movie was for me #not knowing any of the tropes or lore or such #very accessible. they talk in interviews about using structures viewers will be familiar with to ease them into the setting #and they do a good job of not getting bogged down in terminology and just showing what things are/do #at the same time there are tons of settings and creatures and items that the friends I went with could recognize and enjoy #most weren’t plot related but they obviously added to the atmosphere #fight scenes were great #dialogue was funny #and there were a few times where you could even intuit mechanics despite it not being part of the movie #j next to me in the theater: persuasion check #or the dm making a complicated puzzle or obstacle course only for the party to immediately break it or go around #rip thank you for your service

Gimly's D&D 5E Player Characters - #7

Name: Astra Harrowe, the Wolf Spider

Race: Half-Moon Elf

Class: Seeker Warlock x. Whispers Bard

Background: Courtier

Ability Modifiers: +5 Charisma; -2 Strength

Campaign: The Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign I had originally played as Tree in began to spin off into a bigger thing with at least two whole extra campaign books thrown in, and Tree had kind of run her course, so I asked if I could bring in a character of my own creation, and thus, Astra.

Backstory: Astra was a Harper agent who had been installed in a small castle, posing as a courtier to learn its goings on and return information to the Harpers, and ensure that their values are being upheld there.

She was recently reassigned to Phandalin to quietly investigate rumours that the Lords Alliance have seized unwarranted control of the town, and that Order of the Gauntlet agents had also been dispatched there. Her orders were to discover if these other factions intend simply to provide aid the town of Phandalin, as had been suggested, and if so, to assist them as best she could. If however their motives are to use hostility to take Phandalin as their own territory, she is to report back to the Harpers immediately, and co-ordinate their downfall.

#Astra was far and away my most powerful character #in terms of like raw level she made it to 9 which was 5 levels higher than i'd ever gotten a character before #and 4 levels higher than i've gotten one since #but also the build was great and she got more magic items than i think every other character i've played combined #also fit the party dynamic really well #was playing with a fighter/barbarian multiclass and a cleric/ranger multiclass #i think the best show of just how fuckin' undefeatable that trio was was holding a bridge with just 1 NPC cleric helping us out #against a literal army #for like 30 rounds or something #while the army is also getting into boats to cross the river without using the bridge and stuff and we're simultaneously wrecking the boats #it was like well over 100 hobgoblins but also some villain characters with magic and stuff AND a bunch of ogres #she became known as The Wolf Spider once we beat the Black Spider and she took his armour and repainted it #started using villain stuff to try and scare other villains #Also she became a wererat but pretended to be a werewolf #but a were-anything makes you immune to like 90% of damage #gimly #dandy #noticemequannaix

my parents house genuinely just makes me so sad

#and frustrates the crap out of me lol #my mom hates throwing away paper towels so if they’re ‘lightly used’ she just #leaves them crumpled on every surface for ‘later use’ #every single empty container is kept even though they’re never used and there’s no room for them #the cups haven’t been replaced since at least 2016 cause I was here the last time they were #they’re all scuzzy and sticky like plastic is when it’s been washed too much #rotting fruits and veggies litter the counters #honestly I wish I could get them to decluttering but both my parents have that deep-seated Great Depression #leftover guilt about throwing anything away or not keeping anything #even if you don’t need it even if you don’t want it even if it would better suit someone else #even if it’s taking up all this room and you never actually use it for whatever you’re ‘saving it for’ #mom fussed about clothes and shoes and books #but the siblings bedrooms are both clean and organized #and the rest of the house is a wreck #they need to take a stand on papers and garbage and unnecessary items #but they won’t and so the cycle will repeat #in a lot of ways my mom has gotten better but it still just makes me sad that they’re both this old and still can’t keep house #without it being agony for both or either of them #because dad remembers everything he’s ever owned and constantly demands them when he hasn’t known where they were since 1996 #and blames everyone else for not being able to find His Thing #and how we /always/ take his stuff and he spent his whole life providing for us worthless people and we pay him back #by taking all his shit i guess #just cause we all love getting yelled at. #sigh.

[sage-nebula]

I love Tulin, but I'm sorry, Tulin's Gusts fucking suck compared to Revali's Gale.

#literally everything abt how this works is worse #why the downgrade. where did the Champ blessings go #at least if they're gone why couldn't the replacements be equal? #i hope the other sage powers don't suck this bad bc ffs #also not a fan of how you have to have a little ghost w/ u at all times to use them #having to activate / deactivate constantly in Key Items is so fucking annoying #Champion Blessings were GREAT why this immense downgrade #loz totk spoilers #totk spoilers #totk liveblog

i feel like something important that’s really dropped off in the age of cheap, mass produced items is finery. i find something very valuable in my grandparents’ china with gold leaf accent that only comes out at thanksgiving, the porcelain nativity set my mom and aunt painted together, the hand embroidered tablecloth i spent too much money on in budapest because i wanted something to pass down. and not just the value that comes from it being expensive. obviously not everything can be something well made and expensive- and i wouldn’t have much of this stuff hadn’t been passed down to me- but i think we’re all a little too used to .50 cent target dishware and h&m shirts and ikea furniture. we need 90 year old bone china tea sets or grandpa’s gold cufflinks or great aunties mink stoll for our health.

#i feel like this might come across as me trying to be bouge but its not. we live in a world where three generations back they only had two #or three outfits and we have dozens sometimes more #but great grandma had a day dress and a fine sunday dress and a beautiful special occasion dress and all of them were hand made and tailored #for her. I’ve got 15 shirts mass produced made of cheap cotton and fraying at the seams #all this to say that the mass produced exorbitance of today feels like pig slop and the vintage items that were well made that you only #could scrape together one or two of in your whole family #feel like im a human being with a family that goes back generations and that my life and my yearly celebrations are cyclical and valuable

[star-sworn]

how are we coping with ‘vor as kairi’s grandma’ deconfirmed

yeah that's about as well as i took it lol

it feels like SUCH a missed opportunity to me!! and like, the ending of UX and now, Dark Road, is the first time in the kh series that biological ancestry/paternity has been introduced into the series with Eraqus and Xehanort, so it seemed like a no BRAINer lol funny joke to me that Vor could have been her grandmother. Just take the layup!!!

and also like dude. They gave her so much depth so quickly in this last update. I remember her saying: "The longer I stay in this bubble, the harder it will be for me to get out of it." and I literally paused the video and just sat there for a second, because wow, that is something I really needed to hear, and I heard it in this freaking mobile game. Not wanting things to change, but knowing you have to... also why did she want to be a master??? you cant just leave that unsaid!!!

And watching the upperclassmates swoop in and help her in the end, everyone so desperate to save her only to fail in the end... that was the death that really truly affected me. she seemed a bit younger, a bit more innocent, than the rest, and she seemed like the golden girl of the group, everyone loved and cherished her. and as you said on another post, seeing her with these unfulfilled dreams truly expire... that was tough.

You also talked about the subtle animations they put into these chibi characters, and I ADORED all these little things Eraqus did with Vor: he ran in front of her and put his arms out to shield her he would hold her hands or her arm, CHASING HER AROUND THE CLASSROOM. I loved all the little, subtle ways they conveyed his love and care for her. I miss her already and goddamnit IT WAS RIGHT THERE NOMURA THE GRANDMOTHER OF ALL RETCONS AND YA MISSED IT

#goldensunset #so nice to hear from you hope school is off to a good start #im just... lying face down on the floor emotionally #im so confused and theres so much Lore that went right over my head #all the maneuverings of Vidar and Baldr I need to rewatch #I also loved that THE DISNEY WORLDS/CHARACTERS/WORLD ITEMS WERE RELEVANT #there was a lot of good stuff and now i see they really could have made this just a grand and impactful as UX given the time to expand it #the misread prophechy #a false child of destiny #xehanort the failed protagonist #godDAMN #and its so sad people just write it off because lol chibi mobile game i no care #oh honey #youre gonna NEED to care #also one more thing #the people in damos stream were CONVINCED we were going to get the moms name and i was like my dudes... aint no way #theyll drag that out for two more games AT LEAST #Holly rambles #its great to have new kh to ramble about

[copper-skulls]

something a bit different but what still makes me happy - i just finished this queer chevron tag I'm gonna have hanging off my backpack now :) The button was a gift from a friend after I busted my previous rainbow pin, so it's a little bit special, ahah

#rainbow items received from other queer folk are Artefacts Of Great Power #cross stitch #this was in the making in some sort for like . a month and a half. fhajkdh #i didn't expect to finish it today while there were still last bits of daylight left so. you actually get photos of it today!! #DYI PRIDE STUFFS. but like nobody knows this flag so I'm stealth lmao.yeehaw #cat button by Dragarta! #too hot to work on digital things bcs I'm trying to keep my laptop semi-working. so cross-stiched insttead

Pro tip: when you are out with a group of people and you split the check, and you see someone put a tip that you don't agree with, do not take it upon yourself to throw their signed receipt out.

#literally just don't do it #it's not even your money karen #why do you care #and if the issue was that you were leaving a cash tip #then say so #but most likely #i think SOMEONE thought the server didn't deserve a tip #because this particular someone will fight with servers just to get comped apps. #and the server did make a mistake! that she owned up to and made good on immediately. #what else was she supposed to do with 'this isn't what i ordered' denise #call her boss over to fire her dramatically? #perhaps have the table take turns shouting at her? #also #she messed up because someone couldn't just say the menu item #and instead had to describe the item #in the most dumb fuck complicated way #and said 'yes' when she confirmed which item #so who really fucked up brenda? #literally that server did a great job #with our 10 person table with a ton of special order bs #just shut up janet. #why are White Women Of A Certain Age like this? #lp bitches

I could go to bed at a reasonable hour, but why would I do that when I could stay up and make myself sad over characters that I made up literally 5 minutes ago instead

#misc.txt #3 in the morning is peak oc creating hours #was doodling an er oc I have #and offhandedly wondering what they'd be like if they were an npc with a traditional soulsborne tragic quest. yes I know I am cringe btw #but now I'm sad :( and also dealing with the fact that this character only exists in my head and matters only to me hdfjskhd #it's like whenever I make a character where like. I want to write them a sad story I guess? idk how to put it but you know #I get to a point where I'm like 'idk this just seems kind of boring and bland' and then I get. a tiny idea #which then just snowballs from there until I'm reduced to the human version of a crying cat meme #AND NOBODY ELSE WOULD FULLY UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THEY ONLY EXIST IN MY HEAD. torture :) #honestly I never post about my ocs (fully original ones and then ones like this one) even though I have them but. whatever #his story arc and questline are not real but I could absolutely break your heart with subtle details and item descriptions if they were <3 #ok actually I want to talk about this though. so like #I think it's less so like 'I want to make a character in this universe' but I really love the fromsoft method of storytelling #by giving you tiny details and hints and things you might not notice at first. and then when you do it just HITS you and it hits different #than if it were just spelled out for you. like if you fully understand a character from the start that's great and all #but there's something about absentmindedly connecting the dots in the shower or something and going 'OH.' #idk if I'm wording this right probably not it's late but. thinking about how to tell a character's story through those methods is very fun

[rohirric-hunter]

That’s actually not a gap in my employment, I just don’t want you to know what I was doing during that time period because you have a similar position and I’m afraid you’ll try to strongarm me into it

#this is mostly a joke #ive never been asked to explain a gap in my employment actually #or if they do ask i just say 'covid' which is a great catch-all excuse and also usually true #but ive started leaving certain items out of my resume when i apply for jobs #because often people will be like 'youre overqualified for the position you applied for but can i interest you in this other position?' #and its something ive done before and absolutely hated #this is especially common with 'head cashier' positions #the first time i did this i was a normal cashier but every time someone started yelling at a cashier they were redirected to me #and the second time i was like a pretend manager and the only real work i did was schedule breaks #if people ever ask me to explain one of these gaps i will say covid #its okay to lie to hiring managers i think

buying used clothes really lets you see the dark underbelly of humanity (people who don't repair their clothes)

#i cant really blame people for not knowing how to sew and darn. it's the result of shitty cultural shifts etc etc #but i do think everyone older than like 10 that is physically able should know how to sew a button #(bought a really cute top online a while back and it arrived with a nearly torn buttonhole and a button literally hanging by a thread) #(i dont mind it bc its a 15 minute fix but it never fails to surprise me) #(my favorite jacket - that im wearing rn in fact - was missing three whole buttons when i got it) #(i bought a really nice wool blazer for dirt cheap and the pockets were torn where the person opened them wrong (yknow when the pockets #come basted shut and you just use a tiny scissor to open them up? they straight up cut through the main fabric #. unhinged behavior). they made the same mistake twice and didnt even bother to fix it later) #(anyway these were all very simple hand sewing fixes. 90% of of the time when i have to fix an item of clothing it's the same kind of fix) #(often it's frayed seams which again. dead simple hand sewing especially if you catch it early) #idk why the fuck i put all my tags in parenthesis. i woke up early and just had blood drawn ok. #anyway yeah i think it's weird if you don't upkeep your clothes #even if you yourself don't know how to? like i have a cousin who asks me to fix her stuff bc i'm more skilled and i don't mind #my mom asks me to fix her stuff bc i have better eyesight. etc etc #i have v strong feelings about this. why are these tags so long #oh also the shirt is v cute. it has a peter pan collar and a detachable collar that kinda looks cavalier-ish (large and pointy with lace) #its white for a change. the tag says its a poly-cotton blend but it doesnt feel polyester-y at all which is great #the tag is also in german. but it doesnt have a brand in it

noooo I was just doing some research on Pokèmon card grading and found out one of the rarest cards in my collection doesn't grade well at all ;o;

#I got it when I was younger and traveling so while the front is in great condition the back has a lot of whitening on one edge #it probably wouldn't grade higher than a 5... #for reference this particular card is worth $1000+ dollars at grade 10 and currently less than $100 at grades 5 and below ;o; #I am SO SAD right now #I mean it's not like I was planning to sell my collection but it would have been nice to know I have a bit of a safety net y'know? #on the upside a few of my older cards are in pretty good shape for their age AND some of my more recent rare cards #seem to be in grade 9 or 10 condition! #which means that they're worth $100+ dollars even now and will be worth more over time #I'm just so sad about that one card though...imagine losing $1000+ dollars just because you were a dumb kid lol #the joys of collecting items with very finnicky values #mew's musings #not fr
