Gonna try a thing with my 📌-ed post. Ask me anything (AMA), and so long as it is within my knowledge/experience and I feel comfortable answering, I'll answer to the best of my ability. (Obvious trolls/harassment get the block)

B-Dubs builds are a vibe. Like, I think I'm an alright builder, maybe between "Intermediate" and "Advanced". I come at builds kinda architecturally, and they generally look decent. B-Dubs is a veritable Minecraft *artiste*.

#FFXIV: "doppelgänger" DE: „doppelgänger” FR: «doppelgänger» EN-UK (probably): "doppelgänger" EN-US: uhhhhh fuck fuck fuck shit EN-US: "doppelgaenger" (Haven't played it yet but already have shitpost material apparently.)

Just hit Chapter 12 on Theodora, and I messed up enough recruit scheduling that I'll very likely end up replaying her too, in which case after this is over, my plan is currently RePt1(Leda -> Theodora -> Dietrich), Pt2(Leda -> Dietrich -> Cai -> Theodora).

Sometimes when the dog is on the couch and I'm at the other end, she'll start staring at me like "why aren't you petting me" and it's so cute I have to slide over and pet her.

So Umamusume, like many Gatcha games, by default only downloads the assets required for the content you're playing, leaving most runner assets undownloaded until you recruit them. Some people use this as a strat to figure out when they've pulled a new character/outfit...

So after a few minutes I was like "ok something's just messed up, maybe swapped routers when I went to the back yard and it didn't handoff correctly. Better restart the game and download all assets to make sure I'm not glitched."

Did that, the asset update was much faster than the load screen, *hoped* it didn't just eat my free 10 pull. Checked the pull history, it was there. Click. New Year's Kitasan. (I don't think waiting longer would've gotten me past that loading screen, but the lack of fanfare was unfortunate lol)

... because the loading screen before the pull results takes longer (downloading assets). *Normally* I download everything in advance, but today my free 10-pull on New Years took a while. So I was like "Oh! I guess I got a new 3★!" But then it started taking longer than I'd expect to download...

ABBOTT: Japanese developers today have unique names, like FromSoftware COSTELLO: From what ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: I thought you said it was from Japan ABBOTT: It is COSTELLO: But what's the name of the developer ABBOTT: FromSoftware COSTELLO: The Software's From Japan, though ABBOTT: Yes

Shiny Pichu in today's Pokémon Sleep 🥳 (I think this is my second or third in the line, but I can go for sleep ribbon with it and get the avatar for all three if I haven't already.)

That's Cai's route done, and the first one I don't feel like I *need* to replay because of mistakes. (although I haven't checked my cutscene log in the obelisk chamber, so I might eat my words later. Don't want to lose my mounts if I can avoid it.)

There's a sidequest in at least two routes that coincides with the scheduling of Orchel's paralogue, and twice I've managed to fail the sidequest because they're on opposite sides of the map. I'm planning on replaying one of the relevant routes, so I have at least one more chance at it...

... but I'm not terribly hopeful. I think I have a notion about how to solve it, but it'll be tight (assuming it doesn't conflict with Even More paralogues on that route). If I'm lucky it'll also show up on Theodora's route, because I think she might have a more expeditious path.

The long quest for the ultimate Machitan legacies just yielded this absolute smorgasbord of white sparks, so I'll be sharing her as my borrow until I get something even more ridiculous:

(Incidentally if we're mutuals and want to friend up in-game, hit me with a DM and we can exchange friend codes, though I'll probably need to unfollow someone to make it happen lol)

Basically don't need to use Windows on my laptop anymore, *think* I've dumped the key in case I need to reinstall it. Just need to verify it, do some partition shuffling and resizing, and then I'm good. (I'm running out of drive space and Windows is the next big thing to yeet.)

Ok so, you can ignore games on steam right? I kinda wish they took that a step further and let you put it on something like an anti-wishlist. A "do not want" list. Like "if someone tries to get me this game as a gift, don't let them check out" list.

I mean, I *think* you can refuse to accept a game, and the sending user can still get a refund on it, but I'd rather not receive gifts (especially on a special occasion) and go "oh, I know for sure this game has surrounding ethical issues I object to, sorry but no thanks, reject."

right now there's no guarantee AI usage becomes embedded in indie games. We're a scene. We don't HAVE to be this. Individual choices couldn't matter more in this moment. To see that you can make a small, positive impact at mild inconvenience to yourself and say "nah" is to give up on a better world.

Me: Hm, I want to bump Galactic Racer up my wishlist in the very likely event family gets me games for Christmas. Steam App: Desktop client only, can't scrib doon on mobile! Me: What is this bantha poodoo?

Blaze Narita Brian drops in approximately 15 minutes! I've saved an alright amount of Carats for this (but not nearly enough for pity), so here's hoping I get lucky.

A brief exchange between Peter and Fabio in an early fight: Peter: Hey Fabio, I've never seen that magic before. What is it? Fabio: I appreciate your inquisitiveness, but maybe when we're not on a battlefield. Me: Based on this throwaway line I am making Peter a hybrid class/Dark Magic user.

Reminds me of 6th grade home EC where we made some pizza-like thing in an oven, and we were instructed to set it for 10 minutes. My group understandably ours to 10:00. Just before the bell we wondered why ours wasn't done, checked, found out the timer was in HH:MM. (We didn't burn down the school)

Know what, this ain't terrible? Decided using snow, light blue, and cyan was too thick and crowded out the sculk, so just cyan to make it look like a dimensional vortex seems fine? The back also doesn't have anything on it, but nobody lives north of me and the thick fog obscures it at a distance.

It's also not *supposed* to be a perfect shape (given that it's the manifestation of chaotic thaumaturgy that's been forced to stabilize via an alternate method by people reverse-engineering the implementation) but it's like... I notice when something isn't as convex as intended?

I'm freehanding a quasi-demi-egg shape as an effect around the nether side of my portal, and I'm learning that: - I should have wire-framed this more first - I should be building the initial shape in a brighter color than sculk and then replace it with commands

I guess the plus side to making this mostly dark is that nobody will really notice if the curve isn't perfect. The downside is that I intend to add some white concrete, cyan, and light elements via mods that *will* highlight local issues, but then I can just fix specifically those.

Recently got booted from a Discord server I've been inactive in for a few years (presumably because of the inactivity), but Discord has apparently decided "We're now to doing Listifications-style official notifications for server kicks whether you want it or not".

Horrible for anyone with RSD. I straight up did not need to know. I would've been one server less and never been aware at all, and that would be *fine*. Now I'm circling around "did I do something wrong? I don't think I'm hacked? If I did(n't) do something, why not let me know the reason?"

Like yeah rationally this is nothing to fret over. It's a server kick and not a ban, and by a server mod not a Discord admin so the stakes are incredibly low. I will work myself out of the loop soon enough, it just kinda sucks.

Like, I cannot stress enough, I went into Dietrich's route fully expecting Zenos Yae Galvus (and I loathed him so much because his whole motivation was fighting). On the one hand, I'm so glad I was wrong. On the other hand, now I wish I'd saved him for last, but I couldn't possibly have known.
