Something I learned that I wish I had made a clip for:

If you have a level in Warlock, you’re given a dialogue prompt that allows you to use your magic to calm the erratic sigil Gale is stuck in. After that, even Taryn’s noodle arms (Strength score of 8) could pull him out.

And after spending even more time in the character creator, here is Taryn’s guardian for this campaign. You can definitely trust him…right?

After playing around in the character creator, I finally have my “Tav” for this campaign.

Meet Taryn Brightwood: an ex-Zhent who split from the Black Network after becoming disillusioned with its unsavory business practices. She was on the run from them when something else snatched her up.

I reached Act 3 in a campaign of this game, but I’ve never been able to finish it. I wanna change that.

Apparently the AI bros are on another round of "Hatsune Miku is AI, checkmate luddites" so this is just a reminder that the singer behind Miku was paid and still earns royalties, and beyond that, Miku is nothing more than a MIDI soundboard with advanced pitch converter options, it is not genAI.

Nier:Automata Update 4: Found another ending after completing a quest. Don’t know what it’s called, if it’s called anything.

Nier:Automata Update 3

Accidentally acquired Ending M. Guess the game doesn’t want me taking the long way around.

I’ve realized that, outside of replies to others’ post, I haven’t made any posts of my own here. Might as well start with me starting #NierAutomata for the first time. I got this game maybe last year—I can’t remember when—and I’m only now finally getting around to it. Wish me luck.

Bluesky Challenge: Post your favorite work of art/media from 50 years before you were born.

The idea of telling stories simply with visuals animated to classical music was very experimental back when Fantasia came out. And it was still experimental when Fantasia 2000 came out 60 years later.

BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.

She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Tuesdays are a battlefield.

Mars was the Roman god of war.

The Germanic equivalent was Tīw or Tiu (Norse = Tyr).

This is why today is called ‘Tuesday.’

And why it’s mardi/martes/martedì in the Romance Languages.
