Loveable eldritch being, fairly shameless, but tries to be kind and nice to people.

Oh, yes, hello, I'm just a friendly squishy being.

The Brazen Bard, in tiny size, getting SQUISH, SQUISH SQUISH'd.

Quite; you don't force someone to commit to excesses, you just show them the trough and let'em feast... hard to make someone overindulge in what they genuinely don't want, but start out with what they DO want, and they'll walk barefoot into Hell. Or the Warp, as the case maybe.

Had a beer this weekend (.75 liter, 7% ABV), courtesy of work.

Seems I don't enjoy the same joie de bivre that I used to.

Sigh... Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is on sale. Now I have the PC to run it, I don't have the budget to get the game, even discounted.

So I've spent the day installing a few hundred Skyrim mods, let's see if it runs?

Oof, not good, but at least it's the other end that does the talking, right? 😏

Employers and their AIs keep giving Brakka the runaround; any bit helps, peeps.

That is a fairly low target profile, compared to the variants I had in mind. 😅

Fair, but perhaps not the ones that add two feet to your height? 😅

Sisters with shaven heads! Sisters with pigtails! Sisters with corkscrews! Sisters with dreadlocks! Sisters with afros! Sisters with 18th-century French wigs!

...okay, that last one may actually be a health hazard on the battlefield...

Chobits is oddly sweet... I got that one in the two-volume paperback set. ❤️

And there I have an urge to hear that song again...

It's a good song, though, so it's not...

Wait, it's from 2016? It's been nine years already? WTF?

...Purgatory's too good for the Muskrat; may he spend an eternity in purgatives instead. 🤬

...did I comment on it? Don't recall offhand... I could go back and check...

"And that's umpteen times in a row... Are you sure you don't want to try the tutorial first?"

New PC arrived and is fired up...

Now to download and reinstall fucking *everything*...

Had to get a whole dang new machine - some $2600 and change. A most painful necessity in the face of unupgradeability. (That's just the tower, no peripherals... everything new. It hurt... a lot... but at least I didn't opt for the more expensive Borderlands 4 version...)

Hangin' in here - doc upped my painkillers last week, so I've finally begun sleeping well again, and my new PC should be delivered today.

New PC is good, being essentially forced by Microsoft to get it is not so good...

Depends on how much of an anatomical difference there actually is. If the original world from which hey were isekai'd in the first place had the same big anime eyes, they'll be fine.

...now I want an isekai series where the protagonist gets isekai'd from big eyes to JoJo-art style. 🤣

Admittedly, I've not actually worn much armor at all, myself, but I have some familiarity with the ins and outs of donning and doffing different armors. 😉

The heavier the armor, the better the weight *needs* to be distributed. And training with the armor helps. 😅

Not so much the attachments, as that a proper plate harness puts the weight on your hips more than on your shoulders, but yeah.
brazenbard.bsky.social
Chain, heavy? I guess everything's relative... 😅

Next to a padded jacket, certainly, but next to a full plate harness? Not very. 😉

Is it really, though? Last time I can find that it was actually used as such was some 80 years ago, in German, not English... and I'm not even sure the Germans who used the term about the Tuskegee Airmen had even seen the pilots up close...

Not excusing slurs, just asking if it's really been one.

So, can I order some coeurly fries?
