Revolutions (2015-03-12) Life is Strange Episode 1: Chrysalis (2015-02-05) House of Leaves: Appendix II-E, The Three Attic Whalestoe Institute Letters (May 8th, 1987) (2015-01-01) Canopies and Drapes: Emmy the Great’s Twist on the Classic Breakup Song (2014-11-09) Princess Bubblegum & Marceline: Still Just Almost Girlfriends (2014-08-14) Sorry for unintentional pings on my rss feed; also, be aware that a lot of these are very old (like, ten years) and don’t necessarily reflect who I am as a person today! I’m trying to be better about preserving and sharing my writing, so I suppose that means I must submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known. Some of these pieces, while flawed, I am still fond of — particularly the Life is Strange one. I’m planning to do more and eventually close down the blog where they originally appeared (so I can stop maintaining a WordPress install).

<p>I’ve continued my desk journey from last week, by which I mean I abandoned the Ergotron arm and ordered a Pixio PS1D instead. The Pixio arm feels cheaper in places, but the clamp is of reasonable size, and on the whole, it was <em>leagues</em> easier to set up than the Ergotron arm. The Ergotron comes pre-assembled, it’s heavy, and you have to affix the monitors directly to the arms. The Pixio went together in pieces (with decent directions), which made it entirely feasible to do on one’s own. You don’t have to climb under your desk to clamp it down! There are detachable VESA plates so you can just slide your monitors right on! The clamp is a reasonable size! I’m still figuring out final positioning for the monitors themselves, but I’m really happy with how much it’s cleaned up my desk setup.</p>

<p>This whole process was stressful, but the Pixio enabled me to use the steel plates I’d ordered, so I no longer have fears of my monitors crashing down on me one day. All’s well that ends, I suppose.<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup></p>

<p>I’m still playing <em>Fields of Mistria</em>, although I have had a few mid-day game crashes this week. The game is in early access, so I can’t complain too much, but it’s the first time it’s happened to me. It’s frustrating to lose progress, but I suppose I should get into the habit of saving a few times throughout the day.<sup id="fnref:5"><a href="#fn:5" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">5</a></sup> I looked around the game’s subreddit and it seems to be an issue for a lot of folks after the latest update, so maybe I just need to wait until they roll out a patch.</p>

<p>I also played a little bit more of <em>Baldur’s Gate 3</em>. I’m still very frustrated with it and kind of want to just be done. It’s a bummer because I was really in love with the game in Act I and parts of Act II. I was excited for Act III because actually reaching Baldur’s Gate the place seemed thrilling — there are many story threads intersecting there! But practically, this means I’m walking ten feet into the city to trigger a scene for one companion’s quest then switching in another companion for their scene. I’m still save-scumming constantly, which means I’m spending a hell of a lot of time staring at loading screens.</p>

<p>I enjoyed the combat in the game at one point, but I did the fight with Lorroakan this week and tried to cast Silence on him to stop Elemental Retort. For no explicable reason, that doesn’t work — despite it being a spell that he says <em>out loud</em>. Maybe it’s a bug or an oversight, but I never feel like the abilities and spells that negate or create conditions every work for me. It seems like most fights can be won by just brute-forcing. I don’t <em>want</em> to do that, but when I try to be tactical and clever, it so rarely works out.</p>

<p>I know I should probably just take a break from the game and come back to it one day, but I know I’ll forget what’s happening in the story if I leave it for too long. I think I just need to finish it, but I’m not having fun while playing it.</p>

<p>Podcast-wise, I listened to the first episode of <a href="https://leavingtheparty.blog/2025/08/15/podcast-lovely-lady-rpg-2024/">Leaving the Party</a>, mostly while mowing my law. I don’t think I’d ever come across <em>Lovely Lady RPG</em> in my normal travels — visual novels have never held appeal for me — so it’s cool to have a show introduce me to games and a perspective that are not ordinarily in my milieu. I also really enjoyed <a href="https://wavelengths.online/posts/aj-fillari-on-podcasting-media-crit-and-the-last-of-us-online">this week’s episode of Wavelengths</a>, where Brendon Bigley and AJ Fillari talked about, well, talking. It was a great listen and, again, made me really want to go back to podcasting.</p>
