@TLOgg Well, that's particularly quick :D . I fooled around with hardcore last year and killed most characters exactly one level before they would have gotten a survival spell to escape that death.

lmao

About to spend a couple hours playing WoW hardcore and inevitably lose my character. It's a gamer's sand mandala and I think that's beautiful.

@tadwilliams Oh dog, another 4 book trilogy, let's buy more bookshelves.

Osten Ard besties call me 'Dog'.

@Soembie All the best, Soe, hope exciting new opportunities come your way!

After 7 years of service, I've just been laid off by Blizzard. It was a dream come true to work there & I'm saddened that my time was cut short. (Yes, I was rdy for this call with champagne...gotta celebrate the good times & opportunities I had!) What's next? I am available!

@TLOgg If you notice before you beat the third opponent you are fine

Whenever I play another game I instinctively open battlenet and often accidentally open StarCraft before I realise I was doing something else. I have barely played the last months but it still happens all the time.

@liniwillwrite Congratulations!

I've done the thing. I can go back to hibernating. #NaNoWriMo

@liniwillwrite @TLOgg Otherland and other works in the genre promised perfect graphics and immersion for the virtual worlds that kill you in real life. Twitter is a rather disappointing killer.

@TLOgg Is that a promise?

If twitter dies while you’re on twitter you die in real life.

@Kiraathu @MrsTad I did not research the etymology, that certainly makes a lot of sense :)

@PeterGruy @MrsTad Meat salad and Herring salad would fit this expression as well 😁. The basic notion is about things getting torn to pieces and mixed beyond recognition. Animals and their products being involved in such a mess does fit the thought, wouldn't you agree ? 😉

found somewhere

@Kiraathu @MrsTad Notorious lovers of vegan cuisine that we are...

@MrsTad my alltime favorite: ...and now we have the salad ( translates as: "und nun haben wir den Salad" and used when something got messed up really badly)

@Kiraathu What, not everyone orders self made replacement book covers?!

@PeterGruy Awww, thank you 🥰 No, the original measurements did work out in the end as the book is slimmer as its siblings. So I did remeasure the original cover and adjusted the file a bit. However, I did switch to an online printing service as the local one did struggle with the order 😔

@MrsTad @tadwilliams (1/2) I'm one of these obsessed people who were quite unhappy with the change of cover. While I understand the reasons, my art-loving souls groans whenever I see that...thingie 😞

@Kiraathu Looks fantastic, did the measurements work out after all?

(2/2) However, knowing things can't be changed, I summoned what little artist prowess I possess to come up with a somewhat something less...'disruptive' custom cover. Now my poor muse can rest in peace. Happy bookbirthday, #IntoTheNarrowdark

@Soembie Congratulations Soe, hope the rest of the journey goes a little smoother!

Hello world, please meet Elodie ❤️ Elodie June Gschwind-Repp, born July 21st, 2022 at 12:01. After 40 hours of induced labour with a few too many complications, we had to have a c-section to keep us both safe. Thank you to everyone who reached out ❤️

@TLOgg Gute Besserung, Dario!

Okay that’s why it sucks this much.

I’m sick for the first time since the pandemic (so far testing c-) and I forgot how much it sucks.

@Soembie @Hikasawr Congratulations, Soe! <3

We are so happy and excited to finally get to announce and celebrate our good news with all of you 💌 Thank you for this beautiful drawing @Hikasawr to help us spread the word ❤️

@Kiraathu @ylvs Yes. The colours are more muted, the mouth was completely redesigned and there is more intricate detail. No changes to the concept itself though.

@PeterGruy @ylvs ...and the colors aren't that cruel to the eyes anymore. I still hate it. 🤬

@ylvs ...and now it is officially revealed. My heart cries 😭

@MrLlamaSC Pretty much. Add Nintendo and maybe Apple and Google will try to play the same game for mobile eventually.

So we really just gonna end up with 3 companies owning everything right? Tencent, Microsoft, and Sony are our gaming overlords

@REQNews @TLOgg Oh certainly, but AoE4 is the one indicator they are willing to fund a major title in the genre even though it does not give them an XBox exclusive.

Save @StarCraft please @XboxP3!

@TLOgg Sad times. I enjoyed the short days. So easy to sleep through all the evil sunlight hours.

Happy winter solstice everyone! Enjoy the waning darkness my northern friends.

@Soembie Much love and I hope everyone involved will recover quickly ❤️

Had a bad car accident. Jacob & I are both at the hospital & are getting checked out. I think I'm mostly fine. Waiting for him to get a CT done. All cars involved got totalled. Looking at my car, I can't believe everyone walked out of this alive. In shock but very grateful.
