square enix devs: here is a new event! it is a bit grindy but we are giving you two whole months to finish it!

ffxiv players: cool cool, we're gonna just grind this out in less than a week so we don't have to do this longer than we have to

(it's me, i'm ffxiv players XD but also everyone. like i haven't grinded so many fates since i was a sprout b/c i only wanted that stupid cat couch. i feel like if they'd made it less grindy maybe people would take longer at it? idk or made it not limited to arr-stb fates tho i guess then free trial people couldn't participate fully. I do wish i liked the weapons better, like they're just going to go live in the armoire forever)

There's a great "You're Wrong About" Episode* about her if anyone's interested (good for everyone, not just the sweet summer children who are too young to know, since there was so much misinformation about her)

(*one of my fave podcasts, rec it in general if you haven't heard of it)

i'm sorry but this is the only submission to this trend that i'll consider giving any thought to

i also have a cheese drawer that sometimes gets related stuff in it like butter or smoked fish (that gets put on toast etc with goat cheese). but it definitely The Cheese Drawer (like when we're putting things away and my partner asks where the smoked salmon goes, i'm like it goes in the cheese drawer ofc).

mustard and condiments live in the door tho, they do not live in my cheese drawer (but i think it depends on the configuration of your fridge for sure, like i don't hate previous' cheese accessory designation or anything, our cheese drawer is just too shallow for condiments)

Things I’m learning about All For the Game fans: a lot of y’all didn’t grow up with a cheese drawer in your fridge and it shows

today in the seemingly never ending saga of house problems, the contractors need to fix the structural water damage from the ground up which means they have to work in our bedroom tomorrow (in the back wall of the closet).

this is doubly annoying b/c we've been keeping the cats in there (since "their" bathroom connects to the master bedroom so it's been nice) and now have to relocate them (and everything that's in the closet) for the next few days. they are already super stressed and this is def going to stress them out a lot more

(josh is also very stressed, he's got permanent "this is fine" panic face on at all times. i am getting stressed too, like it's looking like WEEKS of construction)

well it's been a DAY long post is long/personal

got up at 6 am to feed pets b/c plumbers were getting here at 8 am to deal with the leak from a burst pipe in the wall around my office. They get here, turns out there's SEVERAL more burst/leaking pipes which will require a lot more work. guybrush (our dog) is getting really stressed and it turns out the plumbers have to go into the downstairs bathroom to assess more of the damage so i have to put the harness/leashes on the cats JUST in case (they were previously just locked in the bedroom where they like to hide under the bed anyway but i have fears of a skittish cat running into an open wall or soemthing). So i put guybrush in josh's office and innocently close the door to go deal with the cats.

the door apparently has a deadlock that requires a key which is INSIDE the office. guybrush is now locked inside the office and has started to keen (he's mostly blind and partially deaf and is only really calm if i'm with him, so this was TOO much for him). josh tries to drill out the lock to no avail. The internet suggests we use a sawzall on the stalk of the knob, fortunately the plumbers have one, guybrush is free.

meanwhile the contractors have arrived to fix a different problem in the kitchen (there was a hole in the join from our roof to the wall which caused water damage and rot). The whole beam has to be replaced. While starting to prep for this, they discover that the kitchen wiring is not at all up to code and must be redone. They also discover more damage (possibly from termites) that must be repaired. we curse the previous owners who apparently took all kinds of shortcuts (tbh we already didn't like them due to a bunch of drama when we first moved into this house, like they were def hot mess expresses)

the plumbers have to reroute the pipes over the ceiling of my office into the garage. they have to work slowly b/c they have to drill through each beam (which are oriented width wise instead of lengthwise). the water damage between the wall of my office and the bathroom is extensive, the wall is basically damp paper. the contractors are getting so much work. they are a little annoyed about how the plumbers *just* fixed the pipes but we are not changing it. the wall can have a tiny bump in it, it's fine.

they also discovered that a vent that was part of the bathroom originally wasn't filled in properly and we're probably getting water damage from that too. they'll be here every day for the next 2 weeks at least.

tl;dr: so this means i don't have access to either of my usual art spaces and have rerouted both my computer and the necessary parts of my traditional art stuff to the living room. We also have limited access to the kitchen (you know for food and stuff) for the rest of the week. We are both so tired, adulting is terrible sometimes lol

read something recently that said a majority of people don’t have a wall clock these days, thought it was interesting since I’ve always considered it an essential and functional piece of home decor.

that time my wild magic sorcerer* turned almost the whole party into animals by accident XD. even poor halsin who was already a bear

*she's actually my "multiclass into everything w/o talking to withers" achievement tav, i just decided to make it extra chaotic and go with the most unhinged subclass choices. I'm up to bard (lvl 4) on adding classes (i found a few reddit threads with recommendations on the order- started on cleric b/c they're fairly op out of the gate, then did warlock, sorcerer, bard. next i add wizard) . It's been extremely funny even if my character is perhaps the least useful in the party (they're actually suprisingly useful but im sure she could be MORE useful if i wasn't trying to multiclass into all 12 classes in one pt lol). The amount of dialogue choices you get is kinda silly (like it's just the longest list of options when you've multiclassed)

(also chose selune for the patron for extra meaty dialogue stuff with shadowheart)

also reminder that you should also switch your search engine in firefox (i.e. don't use google for anything, it's literally garbage these days). (there's a lot of supposedly independent search engines that are just reskinned google/utilize google anyway so be careful, also lots of ai shit out there :/ )

The most popular browsers in different countries in 2012 and 2022.

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

[3gremlins]

not me casually eyeballing wigs again like maybe this year i make vincent valentine (i haven't been to a convention since pre-covid times tho so idk where i'd wear anything T.T i miss making cosplay/cosplay peeps tho)

[3gremlins]

me watching the new fallout series: idk about this ghoul, i think they tried to make him too good looking of a monster, idk if it's working for me

*they show a flashback of this character pre-ghoul* also me: oh no he's much hotter as a ghoul, his pretty ghoul face is growing on me -pause in realization, turn to my partner- omg i'm such a monster fucker i'm so sorry

my partner, sitting next to me: i made my peace with this long ago...
