Black magic.
The tempest of fire and ice and thunder that has been with her for as long as she can remember. Her control over it made her a force to be reckoned as a youth, the key to the specialized unit her parents staked their lives on. It has been many years since then. She has lost her strength and her focus to an enemy, clawed it back and reclaimed it in the aftermath, continued to grow with every step of the journey.
Though she has moved on in many ways, she will always return to her roots.

Honestly, I made that joke about Van’s ancient desktop, but it probably works better than new computers. And it made me think: god, Van must HATE planned obsolescence. Stuff that’s built to die? Stuff that’s built to fall apart in a matter of years just to force you to buy more? For a person whose whole deal is gripping tight to the past, to old technology that still works perfectly fine, to the idea of survival threaded through everything from the stories she tells to the machines she rents out? Yeah, dude. No wonder she hates her cell phone. Not only does it force the illusion of connection without actually granting intimacy, but it’s doomed from the minute you take the thing out of the box. For Van, the very idea has got to be offensive.

I love the internet people who love sbc (single board computer/Chinese handheld emulator) gaming and make themes and overlays for specific shit
Like this looks cool as hell and all I had to do was download the config file and the png and just plonk it into the archive manager in muos and it basically did itself when I swapped it to integer scale

I do genuinely enjoy a good speedrun of "hello new guild nice name what do you mean when you say this is a 'casual' guild?" to "here is a list of things I suggest we change!" to flouncing.
No, seriously. It's so much better than these issues lingering for weeks as that one new person pokes and pries to change the culture away from "I'm here to play a game, not work yet another job".
I'm open to changing if the guild as a whole wants, but we're here instead of some hyper-competitive guild FOR A REASON.
I am a filthy casual, and I'm still dedicated enough to have 3 million GP more than New Guy. You'd think they'd realize that means this is not my first rodeo, and I'm not going to be easy to walk all over.
