Alas, while Planet Crafter is one of my favorite games, the new DLC Toxicity needs a lot of work. Resource distribution is so messed up in the current version that once you reach mid-game everything hangs up. Aluminum and super alloy are very rare. Osmium is nonexistent when you first need it.

Yay, Wild Children fan art! Oh, and some other fan art I guess. Maybe one of those is a movie I kind of liked. Or more than kind of. But the point is YAY WILD CHILDREN FAN ART with a Madoka Magica crossover because Lilac.
Artists! Quote with your fanart

The key to a properly made grilled cheese sandwich is generous use of butter. You aren't grilling it, you're frying it in butter. Butter the pan. Butter both sides of the bread. Butter butter butter butter. If your arteries do not congest looking at it, you need more butter.

Today Windows told me yet again that it will install Windows 11 and my only choice was 'now' or 'tonight, by surprise, when Windows feels like it'. Yet again it installed Windows 11, got to the end, went 'nevermind' and reinstalled Windows 10.

The move is done. All of the crazy steps to get here are done. I have a room of my own again. Guess what the first thing to happen was?
Yep, my inspiration came back and I had to write.
I am tired. I will give it to my loyal alpha reader tonight and post it on Patreon tomorrow.

I want to thank the criminal in Dwarf Fortress that actually managed to escape with one of my artifacts for bringing it with her when she returned to try to steal something else.
I want to thank me for naming her 'KILL ME' so when she showed up again I recognized her.
