#A quick turn of events

[egophiliac]

Sorry to bother you - I love your art sm! 💕 I had a quick question as a new-ish player. Does Book 7 immediately follow Book 6 the way Book 6 does for Book 5, or is there some space between them?

thank you! 💚💜💚 there is indeed a bit of a timeskip between 6 and 7 -- I don't remember if they say exactly how long, but it's a few days at least? (the end of 6 has its own little timeskip that I think is supposed to be at least a few weeks later, and then the beginning of 7 is sorta vaguely sometime after that.) but yeah, it's not a direct picking-up where the last scene left off type of thing like 5 to 6 was!

I really like The Church On Ruby Road because the concept is so funny. Ruby meets a random gay guy in the club who she bumps into again the next day and he reveals that he somehow knows about time travel and then he hangs out in her house and her family are like who is this. Then he starts oversharing about his life.

Hrmmm…

…The ball’s happening, it’s finally here. Sigh. I’m just so glad it worked…once I announced this thing the ask box toned down a bit, thank God…

Welllll…I’ve got time, no? I’ve already got my good suit on, and not TOO many people have arrived yet. I could just make a quick pit stop to my office then head right on out to the ballroom.

Fashionably late, of course~!!

I think Zero should let the original Wily Bots go Maverick. As a treat.

Yesterday, my 12 year old laptop died.

This machine was an XPS laptop. It was in perfect working order up until the motherboard decided to die. I've swapped keyboards, screens, batteries, and a track pad on this thing, all with the help of YouTube. I actually wanted to get this machine repaired until I learned it would be about 3 grand for a repair that might work. There would be no guarantee and it would be hard finding someone willing to work on a computer that old.

I'm paying someone for data recovery because he can do it better and quicker. When that's done and I have the hard drive, I'm going to donate my old XPS. It can still be repaired if you have the right part and enough time. People do. I'm donating it to a program that takes old computers like these, fixes them, and gives them to low income students. This computer will probably last another 5 years (or more). Parts for it are easily purchased on Amazon.

My new computer is coming today. It's the same build, just slightly newer. It will last me another 12 years I hope. I will repair it as needed. Parts are easily available on Amazon. It will do everything I need it to and, when it's time, I'll swap it all over to a new computer from that same series.

Being able to repair my own machines has made me an XPS user for life. It allows me to save money and cut down on e-waste. So many people are stunned that my old computer was 12 (the one I had before this was 15 before it failed). We are so used to a society with disposable technology that it's genuinely shocking to people when someone says they fixed their own laptop.

But why should people try? So many laptops are made so you can't just unscrew and pop the back off. So many computers are made to fail after two, three, or four years. So many computers are made to force you to buy a new one for whatever capitalist bullshit reason.

I'll gladly pay extra for right to repair and a solid build with easily available replacement parts. That's what's important to me.

I don’t think emu is a gamer god by any means but I think if you put her in front of any game she’ll either fail her way upwards (somehow panic mashes the buttons her way to success) or find some completely new never found before glitch that destroys that game’s speed running scene

kidology the youtuber just came out as a lesbian and she was talking about how disappointed she was because it meant now she had an even slimmer chance of finding love in the modern dating hellscape.

and i just found it so funny because when i realized i liked women i was so happy because it meant that my odds of finding someone who wouldn't kill me and make my life a living hell had increased

i had always seen my chances of finding love among men 1% and thought that might be too idealistic. bisexuality gave me a better shot at marriage and romance.

that being said, i'm still entirely single and have lost hope :)

Bayclan: Resourceful, Quick to help, and Intrepid

If there were ever a clan that one could always rely on, it’s Bayclan. These cats are dependable and well-rounded, and are often more than willing to lend a helping paw to a cat in need. Being the second-largest of the clans— previously the largest— they’re always got plenty of cats that are eager to help out, even if that just means it gives them something to do. Despite several of the most active and fast-paced cats in the clan leaving to form Vixenclan, many Bayclan cats are quick to bore, and will take on even the dullest of tasks on so long as it allows them to do something with their paws. Bayclan is led by Gullstar, and is camped by the tide pools by the bay shore.

Y'know one thing they've changed in SWtOR that I miss aside from free QT?

Rep trophies stacking in your inventory until you choose to use them, instead of being instantly consumed when you complete a daily/loot them. Also, while we're at it, dailies resetting from when you turned them in rather than having a set time they reset.

I was going to turn in early, except now I'm plagued by thoughts of how Avis DeVoto and Blanche Knopf canonically (and also like... the real-life women) existed in a time where they didn't have the federally-protected right to vote. And sure, by the time the real Avis was 18, the 19th amendment passed two years prior, but Blanche spent eight years of her adult life unable to vote. What kind of impact must that have had on her as a person?

guuuh a way out is such a great game, incredibly niche title that everyone should actually check out - like seriously. why didn't I pick up on this game when everyone was still posting about it... 5 years ago....
