it's a life or death battle of Monopoly between Giyuu and Shinobu. who's winning? what's the strategy?
Okay so, Shinobu buys about 3/4 of the board in quick succession and makes Giyuu pay within an inch of his bank... Until he makes a comback with his 1/4 of the board with strategic positions and sky high rent.
Shinobu goes bankrupt within 2 full-circle passes after that.
#giyuu is smart af okay#and he was lucky too#and i will always slander Shinobu okay#tbh dont really like monopoly#im more of a card game person#bang! and czech joker >>>>#desi's ask box#desi's moots time uwu#❤️

my phone got stolen.
...myeahhh.
i just. could not be bothered nor muster the strength to even try to explain the situation after the fact on here. just worked thru the problems that arise with it, and thats that. getting a new phone and trying my darndest to gain a fraction back of what i lost
#this happened on the 22nd in the evening soo.. im okay rn but man. that hurt bad in a way i cant describe#i couldnt even go home right away. i wanted to look thru security footage- dindt see anything. 20 min gone by#i wanted to go home but my locker key was also in the wallet phone case. augh. another 20 min for that lock to get cut open#race home to immediately go online to lock the stolen credit card also in that wallet case. the thieves tried to use it many many times#at least 8 by now#augh.#took forever to get what i have sorted out. ive never done so many business calls in my life jfdklsjflj#or changed so many phone numbers or fiddled with apple to PLEASE ERASE MY PHONE OH MY GODD THAT PHONE ISNT MINE ANYMORE PLS LET ME KILL IT#but the thieves turned it off the moment they took it so they couldnt be tracked. so thats that#credit bank stuff should be sorted by now.. trying to get some of my games from my apple acc back :(( like cookierun ovenbreak.. sadge#my workplace informed me that the ppl who were suspected of stealing it were in fact the ones that did it.#and i told her 'i hope you drive home safe' :(((((#aughh.#my new phone is attached to a leash so it'll be on my person at all times from now on#the one time i wasnt as careful w my phone for specific reasons and this happens right. well i learned my hard hard lesson#i could have lost everything#i was lucky i listened to my parents and only carried what i did carry at the time and not more#this changed smth in me man. i sure wont be so trusting or laid back anymore

farewell, my idiot son…
#(aka my switch’s internals got fried so the repair shop had to format it to revive it: the tragicomedy)#(wait no on further inspection they seemed to have just given up on fixing it and gave me a whole other switch instead. lmao.)#(i wonder what happened to my old switch though…)#(farewell to all of my save data… thank heavens i didnt transfer anything over from past gens of pkmn)#(but aaaaaaaaa this shiny goo was a christmas present from a former acquaintance… rip squish you wouldve loved kimikawaii mv)#man… these past couple of days have been a *l o t*.#shoutout to [job recruitment company employee] who sent me a ‘hey the job wants you :)’ message#at the exact same time that i submitted a job application form for another company. it truly was a strange coincidence i think…#but… ehe… the… the job that wants me is offering $1k more than the monthly base salary i asked for… is… is this really ok…?#nothing’s confirmed yet. but. y’know. s t i l l . is it really ok for me to get paid so much for a job that lets me skip the morning commute#and while im still reeling from all of yesterday’s happenings… squish my dear shiny goo will never be seen again…#switch save system my b e l o a t h e d#so. long story short. take good care of your gadgets and gizmos guys.#then again. maybe im not the best person to say this… i mean. i’ve bricked like. 3 personal laptops in my lifetime…#and a phone sim card. and 2-3 nokia phones. and 3 android phones. and a tablet. and—#so. yeah. uh. it’s a good idea to take care of your stuff. especially if they’re fragile.#anyway. in memoriam of squish my idiot son im gonna try to find another shiny in sv this time. i hope i can find another…#but aaaaa the map in sv is pretty huge. um. i got lost like 10 times before even making it to school…#the friends are all just. so. friend-shaped. though… i like the sandwich pal. he has priorities.#looking forward to seeing how this story unfolds thoughh. i saw spoilers on twt but i need to know how the story even unfolds bc aaaa#ok that’s it idol sengen tl is now on an extended hiatus (ch 35 has just 7 pages left to go) till i complete this game. whenever it may be.#see y’all then~~~~~~~~~~~

me: alright, watching rt annihilate balatro was fun, but i really shouldnt be adding another game to the pile of ones im currently playing, especially when im trying to save money. let's just move on to our homework
first problem on my homework: say you're playing a given card game; what's the probability of getting such a score in one hand?
me, shaking: balatro is calling to me
#the cryptid speaks#inscryption changed me as a person in a lot of ways but one of the more overlooked ones is the way im now obsessed with#deck-building highest-possible-score card games#and oh the decks i could build with balatro........#but i have Hw and Work and P5 and Eo:l and Writing and a life i supposedly live#but balatro..........

Me, trying to come up with a plot that accurately reflects the complexity and dynamics that are Annabeth's and her father's relationship with one another, as well as her feelings towards his new family, because while there is love there, how much necessarily? Not enough, to be assumed, because Annabeth ran away when she was seven and, with Luke's description of her in the books at the time he and Thalia found her, she wasn't in the best condition. Reading about how monsters tracking on to her scent and made her a target was the cause for many fights between her and parents, all of which was before she ran away and reads, personally to me, as a pair of adults blaming their young child, but these are also supposedly the same parents who, when discovering that she was in danger, actively wished for her well-being and, in her father's case, put themselves in harms way to go rescue her alongside her more than equipped friends, something, something, I could go on!
#percy jackson#pjo#annabeth chase#like something isn't adding up a lot of times with the way in which rick depicts this specific relationship#especially in ttc! bc why were shown these two people who annabeth was not vibing with being the complete opposite of what she described?#even having percy go “are these the same people?” UNLESS!#there's more to the story than meets the eye!#like#personally speaking since there's little to go on---i do think that annabeth's father (and stepmother) loved her but not in the best way#and even from an outsiders perspective it wouldn't read that way once you get to know them personally#like frederick gives the type of vibe in which he would definitely go to his twins soccer games but wouldn't do more than maybe call or send#a card on annabeth's birthday later on in the series (expecting her to kind of just show up at the house to celebrate if they even get there#especially after the wars!#should be noted that i haven't read hoo in a minute and don't remember much about the other riordanverse books so i may be missing info!#but don't come for me bc im trying at least i swear#this was more so meant to be a rant so take with a grain of salt if you don't agree

Yesterday I got the chance to go on the zip line, and I'm desperately afraid of heights but I still want to do things at heights, like the climbing wall or a high ropes course. And I've tried both of those things but quit very soon or before even starting, because I can't fucking do heights. But last night I got the chance to do zip line and I really wanted to, but was incredibly terrified.
So one of my dearest friends, a woman I deeply like and love, first reassured me (I was afraid I was too heavy for the zip line) and then said "Would it help if I went with you?" And yeah, she's one of the sweetest people I've ever met and she's an incredibly comforting presence, of course I said yes.
So we walked up to the zip line platform, and this is her job so she's very good at reassuring people (usually little children, but it worked for me too) who are scared to go on the climbing wall or zip line. So as I was trying to comfort myself, she told me how it would work, and that I could just sit and the harness would hold me, so I tried that and it helped, and she told me I could just lift my legs and I'd go. So I did, and she went at the same time as me, and
My god, the anxiety and the thrill, flying through the air with her next to me, seeing her wave at me as we went, getting off at the end and her asking, "So do you want to do it again?" And wanting to do it again with her, it was one of the most amazing feelings I've ever felt. I truly felt like I could've done anything I wanted with her by my side.
#if it wasnt clear i have a massive fucking crush on her and last night solidified it so much#i volunteered to work at the wall and zip line because she works there and i wanted to spend more time with her#so shes been training me a little and also just been staying near me#like today there was open zip line and her favoeite job is sending#today she had the option to send but instead stayed doing helmets and harnesses with me and one other person#she has so much experience and certifications that she did not need to be at helmets and harnesses#i think she just wanted to be near me but maybe im crazy. but it was so nice to spend time around her#i think she knows i like her. i just havent said anything yet#today i said 'i need to tell you something but i cant' andshe said 'its okay. take your time' very clearly me needing to confess my feelings#im just bad at shit like this#but last night on the zip line with her... her reassuring me...#she said if i got up there and decided i couldn't then we would just walk back down and it would be alright#it was sincerely life changing. something out of a movie based on a ya book#on the zip line. trees around me. gorgeous scenery. looking and seeing her smiling at me. she waved. we were both laughing#fucking life changing. one of the coolest experiences ive ever had. definitely helped me get over my fear a bit#after the first time on the zip line she told me experiences like that are why she loves cope and climbing#helping someone overcome their fear and develop a love for something they were scared of#it made me feel very close to her and altogether very fulfilled#and today ive spent most of the day with her. just constantly chatting and playing card games#shes been jokingly antagonizing me today with various games (how many horses and mao) but i love her playfulness#i love her humor and creativity and laugh and mind. shes horribly snart and makes it a problem /lh#shes amazing and has changed my life as long as weve been friends and i desperately wish i could tell her my feelings#but last night was. the most amazing time ive had in quite awhile#goodnight

been playing uno (against bots) as my wind down game instead of sudoku/solitaire. after only two nights of this new ritual i have decided: it is absolutely not helping me wind down. it is, in fact, infuriating
#it also doesnt really mellow your brain like solitaire or sudoku#its too fast paced and hammy and it makes me want to kill the randomly generated firstname opponents surrounding me#mancala does this to me as well (on the same app) but i feel much less vitriol towards my AI opponent#i need to learn more card games but i can only understand them if im being taught in person#Come over to my house to teach me how to play hearts i will pay you in gnome grown strains

so does anyone have any info on the dao official guide collector's edition with the whole extra 70 pages of lore? because there are occasional references to it on the wiki with some lore that isnt anywhere else and i cant Not Know Things yknow..
#am i prepared to buy it for $150? ......................perhaps#but REALLY has nobody ever scanned it and put it online? because i cant find it#and im pretty good at finding things by now#if i do end up getting it you can be sure i'll scan it and chuck it in my drive folder of all the da stuff#dragon age#dragon age origins#dragon age lore#personal#i went through yesterday to check what's in every collector's edition of every game and guide#and this is the main thing i dont have#there's also a bit more content in the da2 & dai guides but it's just behind the scenes stuff. which would be nice to have but it's not LOR#in terms of collectors editions of the games it'd be cool to have the origins bonus dvd (which looks a lot cheaper if im bothered)#and the dai tarot cards would be nice but. again. they're not lore and that's the thing i care most about lmao#i havent checked to see if i can find the dvd stuff anywhere online so maybe i can hmmm#but this goddamn dao guide...................PLEASE#to be fair i havent bought myself ANYTHING in MANY MONTHS#maybe like 2 dinners. cool ive spent under $50 on myself this year basically. in terms of like..nice things that arent recurring payments#so i might get it idk. but it'd still be nice if anyone had any of it anywhere

putting labels on things can be a really good adhd accomodation
#personal#i was thinking about this because of mtg#i had a lot of fun playing mtg recently but also i kept forgetting which dice were tokens#and which dice were +1/+1 counters and which cards had triggers i needed to check and what the turn phases were#and my brain kind of turned to mush by the end of the game#some solutions so far have been: i made myself a cue card with the list of turn phases#and my friend suggested i organize my creatures into groups based on triggers#my deck involves a lot of +1/+1 so im planning on 3d printing some little counter dial things#i havent gotten that done yet though so for now im just going to use a specific colour of dice for that and nothing else#anyway the +1/+1 counters are going to be LABELLED#and im thinking once i get my own apartment someday im gonna go nuts with the labelmaker#no more washing dishes and then staring blankly into the cabinet like 'where do i keep the bowls again'

Coming off Tim's Sixteenth birthday arc is so funny to me like- Robin 120: Batman is a terrible, abusive person and the only reason Tim doesn't cut him off right now is because he knows he'd loose all of the friends and family he'd made as robin in the process. Robin 121: And then he makes him go to bed on time- and then the next day he has him do his homework- and the worst thing Tim can imagine from him is his disappointed dad face <3 Like yea I do heavily prefer the latter and will accept the jarring as hell transition if it gets me out of the former faster but gosh golly is that some narrative whiplash
LMAO YEAH. YEAH. what a switch over of writers does to the General Vibe And Narrative of a book is so fucking funny sometimes
#tbh overall i far prefer the lewis run to the willingham run BUT the last arc is definitely the low point of it#because the. i guess the complicated problem for me is that i think at core Bruce should not be portrayed as a bad person like that#HOWEVER. it's not like that story was the first time. and if it had had a different ending where it became a more... teachable moment#for Bruce about how he can't prioritize the mission and training above like These Individuals Who Are His Family#then it would have been sooo much better. but considering everything was a) gearing up for War Games where Bruce was going to#continue to do assholish things and b) it was the end of a run so the arc needed to be tied up quickly#it just wasn't in the cards.#but the earlier arcs of lewis' run i just. so near and dear to me. just like a lot of Fun and some utterly heartbreaking steph stuff#that is like getting punched in the face (positive) for me personally. so im willing to forgive the birthday mess#vs willingham's run overall is just a far less enjoyable read to me outside of like the batgirl crossover/the early blüd days

okay so with the naturalist done let's go a bit weird
1, 9, 24 and 25, for The Boatman.
1 - Why do you like or dislike this character?
The chess games you can play with him are really fun. I love how the difficulty organically builds up over time the further you go and the more your PC perishes- it really feels like you're slowly bonding with the guy, getting more comfortable with him, getting more comfortable with the Neath in general, etc etc. Even if the watchful checks are a bitch by the time you hit endgame.
Seriously, look at this! Look at the progression!! It's so charming. I love it so much. I may be losing in my boardgames but I am winning in my heart.
-
9 - Could you be roommates with this character?
Hell yeah!! The Scoundrel is already practically roommates given how much they've died already/die on a bi-weekly basis. I wouldn't mind a skeleton homie. He's a little... intense, but he's a cool guy. I think we could hang out together. Some time off that boat would definitely do him good.
-
24 - What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?
I mean... pretty much any form of death/the grim reaper in any sort of media, really? He's pretty archetypal. If it's a skeleton representing death, it's reminiscent of him.
-
25 - What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
At first: eyy what's up my dude (fascinated by the new zone, passing 100% watchful checks with ease)
Now: EYYYY what's UP my dude (just chillin', failing a 63% watchful check 7 times in a row)
#yes im still doing these. yes im just slow lmao#ask#fallen london#i dont think about the boatman (original edition) much and we dont really know a lot about him as a Person. but i like the guy#death is a chipper fellow. and also apparently a bit spiteful if you pick certain evolution endings. but i like the guy anyway#the scoundrel's at... roughly 30-ish against the boatman by now? honestly im looking forward to hitting 40#even if it's only going to get more and more painful to win at chess#caeru's account is a blessing by comparison. despite everything to do with SMEN he's only died a few times so far#i cant wait to watch him get progressively worse at chess#sidenote while this ask is very obviously not about him. while on the subject of small organic progression stuff in FL#i really like how the high nightmares menace card just. naturally scales with your watchful#yes it's an Ordeal to deal with the manager and yes the scoundrel almost always has the walls are wrong burden#but i like it in semi-narrative-terms. it feels like you're adapting to the neath. in a way.#or maybe just losing it more and more#either way i just!! like it!!! even the upper river equivalent cards refer to the manager like he's an old acquaintance by now#and i just like that. i like the feeling of buildup it evokes#by the time you hit railway the boatman and the manager arent just menace guys. they're ur menace homies.#and optionally your fellow besties in card gaming if you picked heart's desire#idk. this probably makes no sense and im rambling incoherently for no reason like i seem to always do with FL asks#tldr; i like the funny menace guys

Sketchpage of Iris ft. Leo, Tilt, and a little of my headcanons about the bomber gal
Leo is my current High Card fave but god is Iris such a treat. She may only have a minute of screen time total throughout all 12 episodes but there's so much to be curious about. I want to know more about her and her relationship with Tilt and why she's so loyal to him but also the fact she's Leo's foil in the Klondikes makes me very :Dc about her too
(also the rightmost drawing is from my lil fanfic "I Hate You (I Know)" because im very self-indulgent lmao)
#Iris Moise#Iris#high card#highcard#leo constantine pinochle#i have so many headcanons about Iris like no joke#she's stoic and aloof and cold towards anyone not Tilt#who btw she sees like a big brother figure and kind of has an unhealthy attachment to him bc of it#but also her and Leo DO NOT get along because they see themselves in each other and hate it#(eventually they befriend each other though!!)#also im very much an Iris/Michelle type of gal but Leo/Iris feels like a fun ship too even if neither has canon basis#so far#actually im a Iris & Leo or Iris/Leo person and it's just a game of “if you ship it great but if not also great” w/ me#it's still a shame that episode 12 didn't see Leo briefly fighting against Iris in the palace attack#since she was implied to be there bombing things AND YET#after being shown at Tilt's side in episode 11 she just vanishes#im so curious about Iris she's so mysterious and yet also one of the Klondike's most powerful players#and ahhhHHH i wish we would've seen more of her this season but next season maybe OTL#guaranteed ill write a fanfic about her and Leo though because ive already started on one and it's kind of becoming a collection now

my mtg card collection grows
i had to have him
#how many more before the local game shop knows me#as the person who comes in and buys one single mtg card#this time they asked if i might like to join a commander game later in the week#and i had to admit im a casul who buys them for the art#personal
