Working on a mashup of my two favorite muds from back in the day, MajorMUD and DarkeMUD, the former had a really cool gigantic world, the latter had a really fun combat system and classes.

ESO is a game that I circle back to every few years and play for a month or so, but I've kept my plus subscription up even during the times I'm not playing because I like to support things that I like. Microsoft can fuck right off with these layoffs though. I'm out.
Added several more mods to my Unicorn Overlord mod site melisand.re this week. Also downloading a set of mods now generates a url that can be loaded back up for tweaking or shared.

melisand.re I made a couple mods for the Switch version Unicorn Overlord. Will probably add more over time if there's an interest or if I think of more things I want to do. #UnicornOverlord

My leasing company switched to this absurd Bilt site for rent payment and my first autopay withdrew double my balance and now I have a credit balance of a full month’s rent. Absolute clowns.
The people who seem concerned about discord's bold new leap of enshittification announced today seem to be forgetting that we are surely days away from being able to just have AI build us a new one. Any second now. Right?
Got a random robocall today that had me join a Ron Johnson town hall call for reasons I cannot comprehend. Almost hung up but decided to take my dog for a walk and listen in. Really glad I stuck around. 🧵
Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable
what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist
You know how sometimes shows start to feel like fan fiction of themselves after a certain point? Stranger things season 5 is a prime example of that.
Today I watched new videos on youtube from @jennynicholson.bsky.social and @lindsayellis.bsky.social, then checked the mail and found a copy of gameninformer magazine. No longer sure what year this is.
RIP Mare. I will miss the feeling of anticipation mixed with dread when waiting to see what manner of sin against god and man I am about to bear witness to when the loading bar above a random character's head reaches 100%.
Every once in a while I look at this and marvel at how one person could wreak so much havoc on an industry. Just an absolute trail of destruction.
I wasn't a big fan of Ozzy's music but I have seen his butthole live and in person and it's not every day that the world loses a man whose butthole I have seen. Also I just learned I'm pretty good at eulogies.
The fact that my timeline has exponentially more #Expedition33 posts than Oblivion posts tells me I'm following the right people. I mean, by all means, play both, I definitely will, but I appreciate that y'all have got the priority order correct.
I've been watching @thedailyshow.com but I'm always like 3 weeks or so behind and it kind of adds a fun twist to my viewing experience to be an observer from the future seeing how quaint the problems of 3 weeks ago consistently seem. It was always a simpler time.
Got to the Shadowlord last night in ffxi. Game froze in the pre-fight cutscene but I’ll sort that out and do the fight tonight.
I almost never hear the radio in 2025 but I went to the dentist a couple times over the last week and both times I heard this god awful dead emotionless country cover of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. Just play Tracy Chapman, what are you even doing modern radio?
Hey just got the new discord UI update. Thanks, I hate it.
Got a weird nostalgia urge and bought FFXI last night. After about 4 hours I didn't quite manage to get it working but that in and of itself was kind of nostalgic. Problems left to solve are getting it to work with my PS5 controller over Bluetooth and moving it to my other monitor.
Will Unicorn Overlord win or will this continue to be a disappointing year for democracy?
