Oh?

Ran a Zelda-themed PF2e session today. There was a boss fight against a six-armed, leaf-mask-wearing warrior construct named Koroktos, and yes, I am extremely proud of that name.

Welp. I finally caved and started Tears of the Kingdom. Haven't touched it since 100%'ing my first file a year ago.

you ever just be prepping a ttrpg session, go "is this going to be fun? no? oof", and just start over. and then do it again.

I just got around to playing it, and I'm just going to say: close enough.

I really hope the new Solomon we get in Eastward Octopia is just the DLC's version of Tom Nook. No grand scheme, just trading murder for capitalism.

Generic wine is back, baby!

Uh oh, guess generic wine doesn't have a sprite anymore.

Thinking about Silver's Namecloak

So, inspired by the whole "silvering a mirror" thing, I was thinking more about Silver's namecloak. Specifically, the fact that silver quite famously tarnishes, and the thematic parallel between the loss of shine and the Suvi+Silver breakup. What's more, the process of silver tarnishing has been accelerated by the additional sulfur in the air post-Industrial Revolution, and wizardry/the Citadel seems to be pretty much the magical Industrial Revolution. So, there's this crazy parallel between sulfur pollution tarnishing silver and the Citadel driving a wedge between Suvi and Silver.

IDK it's not totally coherent yet, but it did set off the gears in my brain.

my take about wbn is that if eursulon isnt fat what's da point

Finally listening to the most recent ep of wbn and I'm realising that this whole time I've been picturing the man in black as Zac Oyama from his 2023 4/20 tweet

it surely says something about me that I got the Phaedra reference immediately, but it has taken me 60 HOURS to figure out why the minotaur would be named Mazey

There’s a lot going on in that little critter’s head right now.
