doip. 4.13.25: Fish Gaming Sunday

welcome back to storm lord's wrath! last time, dauble committed crimes against horses. also we made it to leilon after fighting some weird water guys. today: who knows!

(also a lot of extra commentary this time because i was very rusty on note-taking so there's missing context otherwise. hiiii)

as a quick refresher, the current cast:

Alidaar, dragonborn fighter with a love for violence, played by me Arepo, human bard and fantasy wikipedia editor, played by jason Dauble, halfling.. druid? that's becoming more evil, played by nyx a potential new friend??? played by von and starring jorb as the Dungeon Master!

dauble's distance model has been revealed.

they are now a ditto.

von is here! von is trying to get into roll20 and its going badly

von: NO I DELETED "ROLL" AND GOOGLED "20"

PREVIOUSLY ON STORM LORD'S WRATH! we left the wayside inn, traveling with silla. dauble mae some zorses (zombie horses), thats probably fine. not alarming in the least. silla and alidaar bonded, dauble was like [angry noises]. you arrived at the outskirts of leilon and discovered that a whole bunch of people from the rebuilding town are holed up outside of town and apparently the town has been invaded by the cult of grimnir, not the cult of talos, NEVER the cult of talos, what are you talking about. we were attacked by some cultists on an expedition with water horses (worses). the town is still occupied, and also there are some missing children who are not accounte for! that are probably in the occupied town!

..this is the most accurate my transcription has been at any of these recaps.

oh yea also the gods have been retconned! shrine of savros (where we stole the bell) is shrine of skuld now. also storm god talos is now grimnir! there's more to it but that's what's relevant rn and also what i remember. basically all the d&d pantheon has been reshuffled into new gods. oh tempus is tyr now, that too.

anyway time to look for children. hold on im shifting into alidaar mode. ..huh. weird runic markings. wack.

(i missed a lot of the scene description because of being hyperfixated on writing stuff down. this will be a problem later. anyway, arepo found some runes written around town, which is definitely not ominous)

jorb: [to jason] make an arcana check! look at your cat. jason: [mutters] where is she.

probably not traps, but definitely have some kind of function. also mostly near the end of the docks. nobody near the fishery though, even though there's smoke over there. meanwhile dauble is investigating a tower in the middle of town! and also hearing voices as they approach. they are not children voices. uh oh OH WE ARE SO BAD AT STEALTH. thank you arepo for rolling a 21. unfortunately, dauble's 3 and alidaar's 7 will not help

OH SHIT VON'S CHARACTER IS HERE! and part of the ritual? one of the guys wants to sacrifice the kids- KRAKEN PRIEST???? OK COOL. von's guy is getting bossed around by. something. and also radiating godawful vibes. and also is suppsoed to kill us. awesome

(again, was more focused on trying to write stuff down While A Conversation Was Happening, oops. this will be a problem later. specifically, the crew listened in on two cultists talking about a ritual. one of them is voiced by von! von's guy wasn't happy about the idea of captured townsfolk being used as sacrifices, but as another kraken priest he's under their command and was ordered to just go along with it. also due to our stealth issues we did get heard, so von's guy was ordered to "take care of some rats")

dauble: [trying to sneak away to the island] alidaar: [KICKS DOOR OPEN] dauble: [GESTURES??] ALIDAAR WHAT THE HELL alidaar: [SHRUGS] WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO????

OH ITS A BUNNY! von's guy's a harengon :D …OH. he's not a normal harengon. something's Fucky with this guy.

jason: they dont normally look like a neopet. leo: [DYING]

(didnt write this down at the time so i dont remember exactly When this fits in here but there was an ooc skit where alidaar has to do his dramatic entrance over bc of beefing it and arepo fixed the door so alidaar could kick it down again)

alidaar levels a sword at risotto and goes IM TALLER THAN A RAT >:V arepo, your local nerdy librarian: im pretty sure im taller than a rat too. how tall is arepo. like 10 inches shorter than alidaar? how tall is ali-- WHY IS ALIDAAR 5'11"???? WHAT HAPPENED. dragonborn are supposed to be over 6 foot why is he SMALL

jorb: WHY IS ALIDAAR A MANLET

alidaar is now 6'11". his measurements got fucked up bc he got compressed after going back to normal after using giant's might

jorb: [plays super mario mushroom noise on soundboard] von: THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN IN FRONT OF ME leo: WELL, MAYBE LATER,

alidaar arepo and dauble can naturally do the scooby doo stack

von: can i get a dm-approved awkward silence? jorb: absolutely.

HIS NAME IS BERZATTO . FUCK

(IN MY DEFENSE. my audio processing has never been the best. and also i was intending to ask what his name was when it first got mentioned, seeing as i had to ask jorb how to spell grimnir earlier for notes purposes, i just. forgot. sorry risotto)

dauble tries to leave and alidaar just. reaches past arepo to grab them by the back of their shirt. while still pointing his sword at berzatto. i am trying so hard to focus on saying his name correctly

jorb and von: [rejoin chat] leo: sorry, jason was telling us about his gamecube nightclub

(von had to check with jorb in dm chat a couple times abt how much he knows in-character compared to us, which meant leaving me nyx and jason to our own devices. jason got to play pikmin 1 at a gamecube promotion thing!)

alidaar: where's the kids. berzatto: hold on i need to think about this alidaar: ????????? berzatto: who's asking :| alidaar: ????????????????? alidaar: …meee…???

(von has learned that, despite alidaar looking tough, he has no idea what he's doing. beautiful first impression. also ali got called a himbo, which was only a matter of time)

von: [trying to think] leo: dauble! jorb: dauble! nyx: dauble! leo: dauble!

dauble is getting very frustrated about berzatto ignoring them and also alidaar fucking around instead of Going To The Island Where The Kids Are Going To Be Sacrificed so alidaar just. scruffs them. puts them between him and berzatto. berzatto leans away

arepo is figuring out what the ritual could be! some kind of summoning ritual requiring the sacrifices to power it. also used Detect Thoughts to see if he can just. get the info from berzatto. berzatto is on the fence abt telling the crew, but does think theyre kind of just a bunch of clowns that probably cant deceive him. meanwhile, arepo is actively deceiving berzatto.

jorb: leo, you know the mental worlds in psychonauts? berzatto's mental world is big's fishing pond from sonic frontiers leo: [LOSING IT] jason: arepo goes deeper and hears [big voice] would you like to borrow a rod?

(further part of this tangent had a bit of von saying berzatto has an ecco the dolphin amv playing in his head. WAIT GOD DAMNIT I SHOULD'VE MADE A FISH GAMING WEDNESDAY REFERENCE I HAD THAT SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD ALL DAY)

leo: [terrified squeak] WHAT IS THAT jorb: placeholder icon for berzatto because we dont have the art yet :D

berzatto isn't very talky so arepo is getting a lot of mileage out of detect thoughts. hell yeah. also detect thoughts would be represented as subtitles of what theyre Actually Thinking, so:

arepo: do you want to come with us? berzatto: no (subtitles: yes) arepo: alright bye berzatto: [Follows]

Time To Go Save The Kids! berzatto is Doing A Thingy! he's lead the crew to a place that. is supposed to look like a sun but kinda looks like a penis. awesome

(we had a pretty long break bc nyx had to go do stuff, so my notes quality has rapidly disintegrated. the good news is that me jason and von got to bond :D yay lobcorp. yay new weird. i need to put von and solar in a room together) (..as for the penis building. uh.)

(idk. you tell me.)

von is being introduced to the delight of the soundboard. [zelda secret discovery jingle] arepo has discovered A Child. child is hiding though BERZATTO HAS INVENTED THE ELECTRIC PULL LIGHT . EPIC (von forgot those require technology. its fine. its magic, probably) THE CHILDREN. THEYRE SKITTERING

(the missing kids are hiding in the basement of the shrine of aurora! and call berzatto Mr. Bunny :3 he's been keeping them safe, aw. there's two of em and they're very cute. and skittering.)

alidaar: holy shit, the kids :o alidaar, internally: [OH NO IM SWEARING IN FRONT OF KIDS IN A SHRINE]

dauble, certified good with kids! we're gonna get the kids outta here without alerting anybody and work from there. which means its time for a SKILL CHALLEEENGEEE ..which we have never done before. including jorb. uuhhhh this should be fun :D gotta get 6 successful checks before we hit 3 failed checks, and we gotta roll a skill we're proficient in and can justify it being useful. and also we collectively can only use a skill Once. hoo boy

(apparently this is a thing from 4e! however it was a fun change of pace and i really liked it. LET'S SEE HOW IT WENT)

alidaar takes the lead! using athletics to go ahead and scout out an exit route. dauble follows after with survival and redirecting to get a straighter shot to the town entrance. OH NO arepo gets a nat1 trying to keep the kids distracted and loses sight of them for a sec, but he's able to round em back up. berzatto, meanwhile, rolls perception to keep a lookout for where cultists will be most gathered and what unsafe routes would be.

the crew nearly gets caught, but alidaar intimdates a cultist into getting out of the way ("Move.") and dauble animal handlings some water horses into chilling out and letting us through instead of causing a ruckus. arepo gets us in the clear by investigating a dead end caused by a collapsed house and finding a path! WOO!

(THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN i loved getting to reason out "ok how would this skill help" and the scene descriptions of how it pans out, and planning who would use what skill when there was overlap (dauble was gonna roll investigation but jason asked to do it so nyx pivoted to animal handling), and tbh even the skills we didnt get to use were fun bc if arepo failed his check again berzatto would've been the last chance and von planned to use charisma to convince a guard that he was chasing the crew out of town instead of helping them escape :D)

WOO! DAY SAVED! alidaar is celebrating having not fucked this up!

..uh oh. well we have not fucked this up but we did kind of bungle things in a different way. hey yknow how we were supposed to go to the island. the penis shrine (sorry) was not on the island.

We Have Forgotten About The Island.

(thankfully, we have a bunnyboy here to pspsps us into realizing we kinda. failed to intuit the full objective. HEY YOU KNOW HOW EARLIER I SAID ME NOT PAYING ATTENTION BC OF WRITING DOWN NOTES WAS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM. the other cultist said townsfolk. were on the island. but because we were stuck on "okay we're here to rescue the children" and i was focused on "OMG VON HAS A BUNNY" we drew the wrong conclusion. OOPS. well at least the kids are safe)

well. that's a problem to deal with NEXT TIIIIIME ON STORM LORD'S WRATH!

Didn't like Episode 3 of Star Wars: The Acolyte (SPOILERS)

The third episode broke me...

Yes, the Jedi take kids. Specifically, they take them as toddlers so that they have as few ties/attachments as possible. So they are easier to mold with their "teachings". The parents "may" (Jedi Mind Tricks) sign off on it, but the Jedi do take kids. And the younger, the better.

I'm pretty sure the Jedi being seen as a crazy cult happened after the fall of the Republic and the destruction of the Jedi Order. Back then, they were seen largely as peacekeepers. Granted, other force-sensitive groups would not be willing to accept the Jedi with open arms, but I don't think they'd call them a cult either. Even though they are a cult that kidnaps kids and brainwashes them into being dependent on the Order to guide their lives and actions.

Sol should have known full well that Mae and Osha were too old and had too many attachments to be taken by the Order. Just like Anakin was too old and had too many attachments. So why the hell would he offer a place in the Order other than for plot?

Why does Osha want out? So much that she's willing to betray her family and her coven by revealing herself to the Jedi? Did we forget that "adventure and excitement" are not things a Jedi craves? How would she even know about the Jedi if her coven were supposed to be hidden away? Why would they teach her about the Jedi except as the crazy cultists they are?

The Jedi are supposed to be neutral peacekeepers, so why are they acting like they have the authority they did when they became the military arm of the Republic?

I'm sorry, why are they treating Osha and Mae as though they're fully cognizant and with the ability to rationalize and make clear decisions? They're kids. At the most, 5-6 years old. Kids don't know what they want for dinner, much less if they want to live up to the traditions of a cult or a coven.

Why is Mae "evil" other than plot convivence? Don't give me that "corrupted by power" nonsense. She's not Sith and their coven isn't teaching or doing anything near the "power above all" ideas that the Sith usually do that is supposed to be a corruption of the Force. So why is she being mean to butterflies and burning books?

What the hell do the Jedi who came to the planet have to cover up? I mean, they did wrong by being Jedi, but all they did was show up and do their song and dance to get the younglings to go into the van with them for ice cream. They had nothing to do with the explosion.

I have a lot of problems with what the Jedi are, but this is just bad writing to ignore the lore for the sake of their plot. I don't know if they're trying to set up some sort of "co-dependency" angle with this, but it's not good. And I can't watch anymore.

Palpatine was right.

1, 12, 16, 18 + one I didnt pick but you secretly want to talk about

This has run long so I’m putting it under a break. Some thought about my current writing projects, an old abandoned project and, uh, word counts below!

1) Welp I got three WIPs:

This is How We Grow: My first real attempt to fully commit to the heightened romance and emotion of an idealized pastoral setting but sometimes there are shadow monsters plus this also acts as an excuse to see more of Soup’s weblena art.

The Longest Shadows: A future fic where Lena becomes a badass shadow witch and Webby learns that the McDuck legacy is a complicated thing rather than the unalloyed good that she unthinkingly embraced as a youth (Yeah how you doin season 3).

The Glass Factory: A Maebea NITW AU where Mae and Bea find and cling to each other out of a shared sense of alienation as they bear witness to an economically depressed city in its final moments before the shockwave of gentrification turns it into something unrecognizable and hostile (YES I’m still working on it!!)

12) A dumb line from an old WIP... there are so many abandoned projects that are like, two chapters and then a separate file full of quotes that I thought were cool and then I never looked back on them again. I’m sure those hold up. Let me check my old writings folder...

OH NO. I have it and I hate it but I’m going to post it anyway:

Detta rises over the Blackfuse mercenary as he struggled with the debris crushing him. Short even for a goblin, she looms over him like a Titan contemplating the fleeting life of mortals. She raises one hand, closed in a fist that sparks and howls with the wind.

“I’m gonna put a hurricane in your skull. See what it does to your brain.”

FOR CONTEXT, this is an old WIP from, like, 2016. It was a World of Warcraft fic that I REALLY wanted to write. It took place during the Panderia campaign and was set entirely in Bilgewater Harbor, an island city of goblins that is almost entirely empty in-game but I always liked its chaotic design. It was about Detta, a goblin Shaman who had given up adventuring and became a freelance problem solver in Bilgewater. She had a Storm Elemental she named Dizzy who she used as a secretary. One day Korkron troopers loyal to Hellscream bursts into her office and tells her they want to hire her to track down a criminal. Tozz, one of the troopers, is assigned to stay with her to make sure she stays on task. Eventually they would find the criminal only to learn he’s a Twilight’s Hammer cultist who had been in Orgrimmar instructing Hellscream’s forces on the secrets of Dark Shamanism and Hellscream was hiding this by killing everyone involved. You can take it from me that it was VERY lore compliant while filling in the spaces that the game devs had left CRIMINALLY underdeveloped and was going to be a dramatic story in the vein of film noir, with intrigue and divided loyalties and shifting motivations all on the eve of war and rebellion and WoW DESERVED to have better story than it did and you know what I’ve decided that is actually a brilliant line and I am PROUD of it and --

You get the picture. Next question!

16) Hm... this is a question that I don’t really have an answer for because all worldbuilding is good worldbuilding if you ask me. I think the thing about worldbuilding is that a good 90% of it doesn’t make it to the page and we kind of struggle with that because if you have all this research material then you might feel compelled to splash it all out on the page so you’d have something to show for all the time you spent. But that’s not what it’s for, it’s so that you have something to refer to when you need it. It’s the big part of the iceberg no one else gets to see. So maps? Spreadsheets? Research? None of it is ridiculous. All of it is good.

I guess the most of it I’ve ever done was for the novel that I wrote. I had a lot of material for that. I drew a map and I even tried to keep it to scale by sketching it out using travel route lines in Google Maps. I guess that is a little ridiculous, but I’ve no regrets.

18) I hate title and I don’t really spend much time on them. I certainly don’t keep track of how many titles I come up with before settling on one. I tend to be direct, I think.

Glass Factory is called Glass Factory because there’s a glass factory in NITW and my story takes place in an art studio. There’s an art studio in Alexandria called the Torpedo Factory, and that and its surroundings is what inspired that story, so Glass Factory. ez.

Longest Shadows is about legacy, the shadows cast by Scrooge and Magica and how Webby and Lena fall under those shadows. Plus it’s Lena so there’s almost a 100% chance any story with her has some kind of shadow reference in the title. So that’s that.

This is How We Grow was probably the most agonizing of my recent WIPs in terms of title. I think it’s a little clunky. But it’s about the two main characters growing and it’s... there’s farming. Plants grow. So... uh, that’s it. I might not be a huge fan of the title but I’ve never considered changing it. Never look back, when it comes to titles. That’s my motto.

Now for a question of my choosing...

14) I can knock out 500 words pretty easily on a good day, like on a real good day I can do a 1000 in half an hour. I’ve had times where I got an idea in the morning, wrote 2000 words about it, edited it by lunch and posted it by evening. But good days are few and far between and mostly I just put in a paragraph or two where I can.

I used to be very obsessive about word count. Like, I still look at it today but now it’s just like “oh, that’s how many words are in this file, okay”, but years ago I practically lived by it. I think part of it was me chasing that NaNoWriMo dragon, which was something I used to be pretty focused on. Now that I’m older I wonder if NaNoWriMo actually helps or does more to hurt aspiring writers. I mean, it’s not like there’s any external consequences to falling short but when you’re young and you’re looking to commit yourself to something, it sucks real hard when you inevitably fall short and it can be discouraging.

These days I’m more in a “what’s important is that you’ve written something” frame of mind. It doesn’t matter if it’s four pages or it’s literally a single word. I’ve had single word days. And it’s okay! It’s okay to write a single word. Progress is progress, when it comes to writing. Now, if I look at the word count, it’s because a chapter I’m in is running longer than I would have liked and maybe I should consider splitting it in two or something because I am the kind of person who likes the idea of a uniform amount of words per paragraph thank you very much. Beyond that, I don’t pay word count much mind and I think I’m a happier writer for it.

So yeah!

Review; Journal 445

I’m going to start this post with something other than my health: Night in the Woods. I played more of it. And oh jeez, it turned out that I had left things off just before things get wild. It seems like all of the patterns I had become used to no longer apply, so while I’d normally like to wait until my usual proper post about it, I do want to review what I played today for future reference. It was just so different that I don’t think I can rely on the memory framework I’ve grown accustomed to.

I had left off with Mae and her friends going out in the woods, looking for Mae’s ghost

They stumble into a startling scene: what seems to be a cult punishing one of their own members for leaving the dismembered arm in town

The cultists hear Mae and/or her friends

Mae is chased

It cuts to Mae’s friends in Gregg and Angus’s apartment, with the player controlling Gregg

They anxiously check outside, doing their best to pass the time while worrying about Mae

Back to Mae and she seems to have fallen down a drop, and she stumbles... home? Wherever she is, she collapses on the sidewalk

She’s suddenly lying on the pew of a church, and her family and neighbors seem to be eulogizing her?

Now she’s in a hospital bed, speaking delirious words to her desperate parents.

The janitor is around for some reason, as if he knows something

Then Mae is back in her bed, but she climbs out with a limp... and that’s where I left off

It’s hard to tell what’s even real once perspective goes back to Mae. How much is a dream?

As an aside, I feel like I’m better at reviewing/retelling events when I’m writing everything as a list. It encourages me to keep things simple and concise, focused on the actual events. I always want to write more and more when I’m writing in regular paragraphs (up until I run out of energy).

Health

And going back to what’s been a more typical topic as of late, things seem to be improving regarding any genital pain/discomfort. This is even after masturbating once today. It’s largely why I didn’t feel like I needed to begin this post about it.

Something that I do want to note that I haven’t yet is that my urinary issues seem to coincide with how often I masturbate. The times I’ve managed to abstain from masturbation seemed to correlate with needing to pee less often. This isn’t exactly a surprise or anything; rather, this is just me taking note for my own future reference.

While I’ll give it a couple more days before committing, I’m feeling more and more that I can cancel those appointments. I don’t even feel like I need to consult Wan and Skull—if I do, it may be more to allay any concerns they may have had for me.

Wrapping Up

I’ve continued reading Homestuck, and I’m up to Act 5 with the trolls’ stories. I don’t have too much more to say about it except that I think I’m better at understanding what’s going on now. I’m having a better time keeping track of the time loops that go on and stuff.

I learned that Spark caught up on Beastars, so we talked about that. She shares a distaste for Yafya, which was vindicating. I’ve had some worries that people might end up liking him as a “warrior of justice” despite his bigotry. I still do really; Spark is a person-of-color, so she’s bound to notice Yafya’s toxic rhetoric.

Whimsy List

Write something about Homestuck? Maybe Beastars? Or maybe just that Night in the Woods post

(That goal being so open-ended is likely to lead me to doing nothing, but I don’t feel strongly towards anything. If that’s the case, just go down to the next item.)

Bea: ask what kind of deal they're taking about

“What kind of deal can I make?” Bea asked. “Any kind.” The voice replied. “Like?” Bea asked not in the mood to think that hard. “Finding items, sacrifices,answering riddles, body control.” The voice listed a variety of deals. “Whatever, just do any.” Bea said realizing how tired she was. “Are you sure you don’t want to work out any details.” The voice seemed concerned. “Yes? No? I don’t know. Can’t I just do this tomorrow.” Bea said sleepily. “My time here is limited. I won’t be here long.” The voice replied. Bea yawned. “Give me a couple minutes to think.” Bea said sleepily. “I have less time than you think.” The voice said. “Fine sure whatever do the scavenger hunt.” Bea said without another thought. “Are you sure you want to make a deal.” The voice replied. Bea was transported to space. She had an urge to shake an invisible hand in front of her. “What are the conditions?” Bea asked, hesitating. “Hm…” The voice replied. “Well you thought up of a deal didn’t you, or were you trying to trick me?” Bea said starting to get angry. “You have learned of the mistakes off others.” The voice didn’t reply. “So, what’s the deal.” Bea asked starting to get impatient. “Thanks to the cultists I have taken hold of this town, I own things in the town. You have to find each thing, real or metaphorical.” The voice said after some minutes of silence. “Metaphorical? You want us to find ideas?.” Bea asked confused. “You have to find my tentacles, and I shall give you hints.” The voice replied. “Before you tell me will you promise that you will get rid of the disease forever and not just temporary or give it to another person.” Bea remembered what happened to the man. The voice begrudgingly agreed. “The tentacles are as follow, the four things that your friends have lost, my daughter, those forgotten to time, passages as old as the trees, the thing stolen that gave purpose, the false god, thing that ended that gave birth to the new. the unification of man versus evil, the light that has gone out, the one who wasn’t forgotten, the three years of productivity, the one that got away.” The voice listed his riddles. “Really, riddles?” Bea said really tired. One can not expect to be given everything.” The voice replied. “Well can I get some paper to write these down?” Bea asked. “You shall remember them when you accept your deal.” The voice replied. “Okay…” Bea slowly outstretched her arm. An invisible hand started moving towards her. “Wait is there a deadline?” Bea said removing her hand. “You must find the tentacles before night overtakes day and The Drawer’s work shines bright.” The voice said disappointed. “The Drawer? What do you know about it?” Bea asked remembering the short chapter. “The time for questions is over, accept the deal or not.” The voice said impatiently. Bea yawned. “Okay okay!” Bea shook the invisible hand. “The deal has been accepted goodbye Bea.” The voice replied. Bea woke up next to her bed with an emptiness inside her. She stared at the wall for a couple seconds. Bea sighed after being glad that she didn’t shapes. It was 3:30am, and she was getting ready to go to sleep. As she got into bed, she got a text message.

>Mae: ask another question.

Day 1, semester 2 of 3 of my masters degree, and I already have a migraine. On the plus side, there seems to be a lot of buzz around my film, ‘The West End Cultists’, among lecturers who’ve never even met me (and my old journalism lecturers who can’t believe I’m writing and directing films now). Beyond excited to get this off the ground. I saw ��La La Land’ too; it was stunning and gave me a lot of ideas for cinematography in my next film, 'Mae’. And I’m feeling inspired to write again!!!

Graphics; Journal 495

I’ve been concerned lately with my computer having trouble with a variety of things: being unable to handle 1080p resolution for a Them’s Fightin’ Herds tournament stream (The Magic Series from FightinFoenatics; they aren’t Tw*tch partner/affiliate or whatever and don’t get quality settings) and generally being unable to play a variety of games. This computer’s GPU—and general processing power—is just not cutting it anymore, especially when it wasn’t really great to begin with.

I actually figured out how to manage some of these things. For Tw*tch streams, I recalled/noticed the option to open a pop-out version of the player, so I used that and closed the main browser window. Doing that cut out a lot of the extraneous nonsense that Tw*tch has going on. Additionally, I could resize the pop-out window into something my computer could handle without dropping half of the frames.

This is actually the sort of thing I used to do to play Team’s Fortress 2 and Warframe on my old lap top (which was approximately as bad as this one): I had them in windowed mode and shrunk them down to half (or even less) of my total monitor size. This is in addition to lowering the in-game graphics settings as much as possible (and for TF2, I even messed with start-up and config stuff). I never really bothered trying those solutions with this computer because it had issues overheating in general at first, which gave me a really bad first impression (worse than my present one, which is saying something). The overheating was more due to the ventilation on this laptop being horrible (the main thing that’s significantly worse compared to my old one). I’ve since alleviated the problem by propping it up to improve the ventilation—which is mostly along the bottom of the laptop for whatever dumb reason.

Even with this janky “solution” though, I’d still be hesitant to spend much time playing any games on this thing. My old laptop burned out likely due to playing those games after all. Since I’m thinking about this again, I think I’m starting to feel more comfortable with the idea of spending my meager savings on a new computer. It helps that Mom is supportive of the idea.

Rambles

As is evident from my reblog, I got around to finishing Night in the Woods for the first time. Apparently the encounter in the mines with the cultists was really the climax, and I only had the epilogue left. I don’t have any more to say about my experience that I didn’t write in that post, except that—continuing from my other performance-improving efforts—I went into the options and lowered the resolution. It drastically sped up how fast Mae could walk around for me. I wish I had figured that out sooner.

Something I haven’t really brought up here is that I’ve been watching the second season of Ascendance of a Bookworm [Honzuki no Gekokujou], and I’ve been thinking of Rambling about it a bit. I mainly want to discuss some of the politics of it. Maybe I’ll manage next Saturday after watching the next episode. (I don’t really expect anything relevant to the topic to show up next episode, but it’ll give me the impetus.) I’m not interested in discussing it here (not right now anyway), but I don’t find too much about the show to be #problematic or anything; just one thing, really. But there’s some other discussion I can have about why I’m okay with certain things that I’d otherwise take issue with (that I did find uncomfortable at first).
