It's miserably warm here today (38C, 100F so far), so I distracted myself with a little art. This is a watercolour tutorial from Andrea Nelson over on YT. #artist #beginner #practice

New day, new blog post: My adventures in #EverQuestLegends continues, with Mistmoore, Splitpaw, and Guk. pixelnomad.ca/2026/08/05/e... (also, I talk about my fountain pens over on the #blaugust post at QuailCreations: quailcreations.ca/?p=499)

I know absolutely nothing about this watercolour paper sketch book (there's no makers marks on it at all), it's probably 30+ years old, my MIL gave it to me when she passed. I figured she would want me to actually USE it, and not just stare at it, so..... use it I shall! #artist #practice

Yaaaaay it's here it's here! Swatch time soon, I think. My first professional grade watercolour paints. ^^ I've been using student (or below) for a long time now. #Artist #practice

New day, new blog post. Talking #WurmOnline and doing Rift events. pixelnomad.ca/2026/08/04/w... (also #blaugust continues over on QuailCreations with a talk about cotton paper.. quailcreations.ca/?p=496)

I had bought a 10m roll of Baohong cold press watercolour paper off of Temu, and fully expected some sort of mishap, because come on, Temu - but - was VERY pleasantly surprised. Now I can cut pieces to whatever size I want instead of wasting bits.

One huge QoL that is a bit hidden that I recommend folks handle in #EQL as you level up - set your loot filters. When the /advloot window pops up, right click where the name is on the item, and you have many future options. Want to change it later? Click the filters button. It's SO nice.

It is a holiday here today, and the last day I get to spend immersed in #EQL before RL decides to interrupt, let's see what level I can get to! I *think* I have 'settled' on a paladin / rogue / beastlord. Currently at level 27. Still have a guild going on the Halas server for this interested.

New day, new blog post - Hanging out in Crushbone pixelnomad.ca/2026/08/03/e... #EQL Over on the creative site, I talk about my artist trading card #4 quailcreations.ca/?p=493 #artist #practice #blaugust

EverQuest Legends: Where’s the lore? Now I am become Tipa, the destroyer of EQL low level content. And I have questions. chasingdings.com/2026/08/02/e... #Blaugust #Blaugust2026 #EverQuest #MMOs #EverQuestLegends

I *am* doing Blaugust this year, but I've opted to do it over on my creative siteI. f you're interested in art stuff: quailcreations.ca Then of course a regular post over on my main blog, I'm talking about spending some time (too much time) in Befallen, in #EQL. pixelnomad.ca/2026/08/02/e...

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

New day, new blog post, this time talking a bit about my progression through Wurm Online: pixelnomad.ca/2026/08/01/w... #WurmOnline

[WO] Destination Unknown – Next!

I decided to take a chance, and posted to the forums that I was looking for a set of enchanted scale to borrow for my journal update. I had a lot of people get back to me saying they could help me …

Huh. Guise of the deceiver is not exactly working as expected in #EverQuestLegends.. lol. One of these things is not like the other.

Huh. My dark elf has quite the pair of assless chaps... (also ding 21) #EverQuestLegends

The husband is off for the next 4 days, and besides some chores to get done I imagine a lot of EQL is in our future. ^^ So far I'm an 18 Paladin / Wizard / Beastlord and enjoying it quite a bit.

Today is the birthday of lovely @justchestnut.bsky.social woohoo! Enjoy thje day lady! ^^

New day, new blog post - this time I'm not talking gaming at all, but explaining what my journal system looks like: pixelnomad.ca/2026/07/31/m... #journal #planner #hobonichi

Thanks to a suggestion from @belvane.bsky.social I decided to get a simple set of 'White Nights' watercolour paints to try out. I'm excited. ^^ I want to keep my choices limited while I continue to learn colour theory and mixing - but I also wanted above student grade paints.

This little gold goblin is finally closing in on 100,000,000 liquid. It has taken some time as I had to re-up my accounts and get some more stock and what not, plus I gifted a bunch of stuff to friends. <3 #WorldofWarcraft #GoldMaking

New day, new blog post, this time going back to Wurm Online and my cloak progression - pixelnomad.ca/2026/07/30/w... #WurmOnline

Spent my morning camping bandits in North Ro before the kiddos got up for the day, farming cutthroat insignia rings so I can combine them - almost 10 where I can pick my 3rd class! #EverQuestLegends

Way too excited about this brand new vacuum I got today.... must be growing up!

A few handy #EverQuestLegends tips.. 1. The difficulty of the zone you're at is marked. 2. You can use both a stance, and an invocation at the same time. 3. /advloot and set crafting materials to deposit directly. 4. Turn on your auto skills. You can access them through the 'actions' bar

New day, new blog post. We're talking EverQuest Legends: pixelnomad.ca/2026/07/29/e... #EQL #EverQuestLegends

OK, I got in to #EQL, and I am Stargraze (StargraCe is banned), on the Halas server. I've got the guild 'Nostalgia Inc' - and if you're looking for a casual home, this is that.

Finished this one not ten minutes ago, and it makes me so happy I had to post it. It feels like I made some progress with understanding #watercolors! Also this is the kind of old lady I'd like to be.
