pandemic mood

I just feel like this all the time when I'm out of the house. A little fearful. A little tense. A little stressed. Getting shit done's hard.

discord salt 

Hey, have you heard of the new chat app, Discord?

It's like a combination of a messaging program and a phpBB forum, but it's worse than either of those in almost every single way!

Let's all use it, for some reason!

xenharmonic (microtonal) 

I have successfully immersed myself in enough microtonal music that 12edo (the standard western tuning system) just sounds like "one of the tuning systems" to my ears (instead of "the default tuning system")

There were never any mirrors in the house. We didn't think it strange of course, and our guardian was an excellent artist, so we knew what we looked like. But as we aged and grew more observant, we couldn't help catching glimpses in spilled water.

We gathered around the well one day, giving ourselves our first real look.

Our real reflections.

We did not know why we were taken from the sea, but we returned without a second thought.

microtonal rock music 

holy heck, I just found this and I love it

warning: the album cover contains spiders and body horror.

Anybody craving some platonic companionship? I'm asking for a friend.

food 

Normally I can handle a vindaloo, but this one is so so spicy. It's amazingly good, but it might be beyond my spice tolerance...

I managed to get quite the caravan

[Image: a dirt road through some gentle hills, showing my followers. The closest is an Imperial man, behind him is a dunmer merchant, and following the merchant is a pack guar (a large bipedal animal, with scaley skin and clawed feet, with a head like a whale's.) ]

Before I go to bed: here's my character. Her name is Tahli Nulvyn, she's a Pilgrim of the Tribunal Temple, trying to reconcile her hatred of slavery with her belief that the Dunmer should be allowed to continue with their traditional ways and beliefs.

I really must emphasise that these are initials. This person was asked to "do a pretty-looking T" and they thought "oh I know: snail hat"

Ah yes, an archipelago of dungeons.

[Image: a picture of an archipelago. On the left is an island that contains a daedric shrine - a strange collection of weirdly angled buildings. On an area behind that, there are some dead trees. There are 2 empty islands in the middle foreground, and behind them in the distance can be seen a dwemer (steampunk) ruin. On the right, an island with some very large mushrooms]

Glittering lights from the docks

[Image: a rather dark image, taken at midnight. In view is a narrow river, a small barge ready to transport its cargo away. behind the barge is a clay building - the Balmora Docks and warehouse. The docks are all lit up with an array of lanterns. A silt strider sits to the other side of the docks. Above the river, a natural rock archway curves, providing a circular framing to the whole image.]

I like the moody vibe this screenshot gives off

[Image: it is dark and stormy. A few withered trees can be seen on a rocky hillside to the left. An imperial fort can be seen peeking out behind a rock, and atop the hill behind the fort is the silhouette of a strange dwemer ruin]

Fresh off the boat

[Image: a picture taken from the bow of a ship. A swamp stretches out as far as the eye can see, but it's a clear day at least. A iron and paper lantern is hanging from the stern, which is unusual and curves up and back towards the ship.]

gog (~) 

I overall like gog as a store - everything is DRM free, a focus on fair pricing, etc.

But then there's stuff like "we're sending you a Special Discount on a game via email, but we're not telling you what the discount is until you click the link, and if you don't immediately buy it after clicking the link you can't get the discount!"

And it's really… manipulative and gross.

(I usually wait a few hours until someone posts what the discount is somewhere, but I shouldn't have to do that)
