This is where I scream into the void.
On rare occasions there may be art or media.
But it's mostly an old man yelling at The Cloud.

I really like the idea that Everything Burns is the WoL's Arcadion Fighter Theme.
It certainly doesn't match the opponent, the lyrics work for the WoL's love of combat, you're technically the only one in there that is an Arcadion fighter, and you do after all embody the soul of THE SUN.

Further PF2e character idea... Tiny Dragonet Seneschal Witch with a construct familiar & Master's Form ability. Pretend the animate mannequin is the Witch and that you're just the talkative familiar. With seneschal arch be both the Witch AND the patron!
Would need a fair bit of DM buy-in though...

Finally, all the seasonal work events are done. Why do I have to be on so many committees...

Finally got new glasses today after wearing my last pair for 9 years. Apparently my prescription got weaker (???)
They certainly look much crisper! But they feel weird when I'm moving around... Maybe it's just my eyes being habituated to trying to focus as if it's still my old, wrong glasses...

Holy crap, I think I completely fixed my VR connection problem. Just turning off the QoS setting stabilized everything. I can explore stuff without constant random disconnects now!

I love that PF2 just gave people the ability to play a full-on faerie dragon or pseudodragon as a PC race option! Even kept them as tiny size!
You could make a tiny fey drake barbarian, or a house drake wizard with a house drake familiar! Hell, you could play at being another character's "familiar!"

Seeing people call the WoW housing system incredible and innovative, and unlike any other is kinda annoying when it seems to just be the old Wildstar housing system from a decade ago, with no prefab plots, no interactables, and more limitations...
I miss you, Nexus.

There, art finally made! A D&D character I've been playing for over a year. Figured he needed to be drawn finally.
Zalto the Spirits Bard. Fortune teller, ex-carny, & foppish coward. A "gearforged" from the Kobold Press Midgard setting desperate to find a way to become living, feeling flesh again.

The unending whiplash between abject dystopian horror & random mad-libs insanity that has been the world in 2025 has me stretched so threadbare I'm barely functional. The background radiation from it all is inescapable.
I'm so perpetually on edge I'm starting to wake up with mild anxiety attacks.

I need to get through the mental block somehow and figure out how to draw again...
It's the only thing that really gave me value or interest to other people. If I can force out images again, maybe it'll make up for my anemic social skills.

Why the hell does the furry fandom keep depicting anthro otters as tiny little guys when every species of otter is the size of a house cat or larger!?

Wow, they did actually improve the Psion in the latest UA~! Though they took it from underwhelming to maybe a bit overpowered? The damage you can add from Destructive Thoughts, particularly if you can stack the feature with Psykinetic features seems a bit much. 18 int giving +5d8+4 at lv6 is nuts.

Tried out VRChat finally to look around... After spending time just trying on hundreds of different avatars I think I now understand some of the appeal of fursuiting.

What even is the etiquette for commenting? I'm so used to seeing people complain about things people say and how people act, or just generally critiquing folks, that I feel so deterred from interacting, even anonymously online. I cant figure out what would or wouldn't be acceptable or welcomed...

Having scattered connection issues with VR since I got it. Been fiddling with settings to try to get it to be & stay stable.
...Only to now run a test and find out that I apparently just have an unstable internet connection! Super brief, scattered ping spikes that don't affect anything else I play.

A while ago I actually went "fine, I'll do it myself" and have been tinkering with my own heartbreaker. Using the skeleton of 4e and smashing it together with aspects of Daggerheart, 5e, 3.5, & PF2.
I finally got all the character classes mapped out... and looking at it, I might be a crazy person.

I went and made the irresponsible purchase and HOLY FUCKING SHIT, VR is actually good! It actually works & looks good. Like what the actual shit!? I regret being skeptical for the last 10 years.
Loaded myself into Myst island and almost started crying being on that dock. It was actually immersive!

The world is looking so hopelessly grim these days and I can't seem to find any mental escape from it in anything. I think I'm going to consider getting into VR... Maybe all those dystopian sci-fi stories had the right idea.

It feels like the dev team is looking certain people directly in the eyes and saying "Are you fucking happy yet?" for these relics.
