Having seen my first Troll a month ago in Issaquah, I’ve found out that there are 5 here in Western Washington State. So on Sunday I took a pilgrimage to see the other two that are on the main land. There is one more on Vashon Island and another on Bainbridge Island. I’ll see those maybe next month.

The first one that I saw on Sunday was over at the National Nordic Museum in Ballard. Right in front of the entrance. Instead of out in nature, like the rest of them.

And then the one in West Seattle at the beach in Lincoln Park. I ran into an ex-coworker from Pokemon and we talked for a while. That was fun.

Sweden's largest museum of cultural history. Situated on the Djurgården island in the center of Stockholm, the magnificent museum building is one of Stockholm's true landmarks and well worth a visit in itself.

for art class I'm supposed to draw a character

Dodging an attack

Performing an attack or spell

Doing victory/defeat poses

and between that and the weapons UI thing we did for Photoshop it's just like. I'm not against violence/combat being in video games, I'd just rather do something more creative. fighting has been done to death, if you will.

I can and probably will reinterpret these into non-combat terms (dodging idk, a falling boulder, performing a spell doesn't necessarily mean it's a *combat* spell, victory/defeat can be success/failure) but the fact that it's the default is. well realistically it's preparing you for work in an industry where again, combat is a key component of most games, but I do think it's kinda depressing.
