I've been receiving the same two blueprints daily since Tuesday after a week without any. It's the third time TODAY I've gotten these blueprints. I choose the combat augment because rats camp extracts, and I need a stronger shield to avoid getting got.

#ARCRaiders Log: Reagent Run While searching topside for valuables, I joined another Raider looking for Lab Reagents. We survived a brutal battle with a Rocketeer and an ambush by raiders, nearly bleeding out. We found no reagents but made it out alive. Future ARC raids are going to be exciting. 🔥

The atmosphere in Where Winds Meet is thick and moody. 🌫️ They absolutely nailed the lighting and overall vibe. Found this abandoned spot while exploring—the beauty of this game is truly next-gen! Congrats to the team on the international launch. #WhereWindsMeet #Atmospheric #PCGaming

Seriously, the environment design in Where Winds Meet is next level. Just look at this view! You can tell NetEase put a ton of effort into making this Chinese martial arts world immersive and gorgeous. 🌬️☔

Unlocked "Comparative Study" (use 4 different weapons in the Practice Range). The shocking part? Only 8.5% of players have done this! It confirms my suspicion: the world is too engaging—who has time for a firing range when there are ARCs to fight? #ARCRaiders #AchievementHunter #ActionOverPractice

More raiding achievements: 1) Proved it's "Not Over Till It's Over" by crawling back to Speranza while downed. 2) Brought down the Big Guns (a Rocketeer!) before they could cause trouble. Survival is a mindset. What's your best escape story? #ARCraiders #GamingAchievements #Survival

The story behind this achievement: I rescued a downed Raider, but couldn't heal him. His solution? He told me to use the Raider Tool to finish him for the achievement. Cooperative elimination! I even apologized. What's your most chaotic gaming story? #ARCraiders #AchievementHunter #GamerStories

Those colossal, spider-like machines are the Emperors, the ultimate architects of chaos. They're on the move, and the only thing between them and this ruined coast is the gear on my back. Time to earn the title of Raider. #ARCRaiders #Emperors #GamingScreenshot

💥 Dropping into the Topsides in Arc Raiders tonight and I am absolutely hooked! ​Seriously, this is one of the best extraction shooters I've played in a long time. Time to get this bread (and maybe a new blueprint)! ​Who's raiding tonight? ​#ArcRaiders #Gaming #GamerLife #EmbarkStudios

Someone I haven't spoken to in almost a year reached out to pretend like he cared about me as a person. This was just so he could talk to me about the fact that Charlie Kirk got killed today. His exact word was murdered, and that's fine. I said fuck Charlie Kirk. 1/7

I'm just venting. I have a German Shepherd. I've had him since he was 4 weeks old. His eyes were still grey when I held him in my lap the whole drive home. He puked on me during the ride. 😅 Having a German Shepherd is like having a consistently 2 year old child with you. #dogs #germanshepherd #pets

I worked with @studiowanwan.bsky.social to develop a scene from my novel. I think it's great work. We'll be working on character refinement over the next couple of weeks! Maybe even some other scenes!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if people can't be friends with you because you're not friends with them on strictly their terms, they never wanted to be your friend in the first place. You can't be the one that is always compromising your boundaries. #relationshipadvice

I'm excited to introduce you to Sayou Sakura 🌸, the main character of my story, Sakura: Dorei. She's a 13-year-old navigating a unique existence as a half-human/half-yurei-jin (think vampire-ish). Imagine the challenges of living quite literally between two worlds! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

So, I'm being moved into a new role at the company for which I work. I'm effectively going to be the architect of architects, working on building the business through cloud infrastructure standardization across regions (global company and all that). #worklife

I now have commissions available on VGen in all drawing styles. So, anyone who wants to request a drawing through that page can now choose any of my styles. vgen.co/ANNEminime #commissions #vgencommissions #vgen #vgencomm #commissionsopen

Everytime someone from #WIPSnips or the #WritingCommunity likes something I post I'm already signing books or manga covers for adoring fans that definitely don't exist. And this is why I can't have nice things. 😂

Halfway through Chapter 6 and this is shaping up much better than the first draft. So. Much. Better. I still have no idea what I'm doing. 😅 #writing

Sooooo, we're just gonna rewrite Chapter 6. Yep! I'm 14 scenes deep and I just hate the pacing. It's got bones, but it's just not paced correctly.

I started mapping in POE2. I know, I know, I'm slow. Anyway, no issues then suddenly I got deleted on a map that I had no business dying on. Played that flippin' map 6 times. Died 5 times. #poe2

So, I saw some Insta-famous person ranting about the TikTok ban ... and honestly, it was like they were living in a different reality. I mean she went all the way off about the government doing nothing else bipartisan except banning a social media app ... well.... #tiktokban

So, we did get some snow. I woke up (I work nights) to the street already cleaned up, which is nice. I expected more honestly, everyone made it sound like a blizzard was coming. This was nothing.

Guess I'm doing the gym thing now because I haven't left the house in like a week. 😂😂 #random

I've been working with @studiowanwan.bsky.social to develop character concepts. They've been doing a great job and I while I would like to characterize it as a collaboration, they have all the talent, I'm just watching them create cool stuff. #writingcommunity #writing #art

Just checked out Asmongold playing "The First Berserker", and it's piqued my interest! The art style is really impressive, and while the level design might not be groundbreaking, it gets the job done. #soulslike #TheFirstBerserker #gaming

I just watched a break down of how Ubisoft managed to wreck Skull and Bones. It's a wild ride. They basically made a tech demo for a game that didn't exist. That is definitely a tact to take. How's Ubisoft doing these days? Yeeeeah.😅 #gaming

I'm really into keyboards. I've built a few in my day, but I was meandering around the Internet and saw the Keychron Q6 Max. I bought it. Gateron Jupiter switches are very nice. I like tactile switches quite a bit. #keyboards #tech

I so badly want to call myself an author, but I'm low (high) key terrified my writing is trash and I may stop writing before I get to the publishing phase. 😅 #wannabeauthor

Others have probably posted notes on POE2 but: - More Boss Encounters: Guarantee a boss fight on every map. - Respawn Mechanics: Bring back the respawn system from the first Path of Exile game. - Improved Minion AI: Make minions smarter so they can navigate through doors. #poe2 #PathOfExile2

How many times can you re-write a chapter? 7. The answer is 7 times (so far).

Anyone using Nostr. What's so great about it? Not a flippant question, I'm genuinely curious.

I've read some wild shit on X, but the one that made me do a double take was people whole heartedly bashing the courts for mandating a father, doing everything he was told by said courts, be allowed to visit his children. People are wild.

To all the people I know on the other side of the globe and therefore living in the future, Happy New Year!

Doing Cruelty in #POE2 and it is very clear I did not keep up with my resistances. LoL I just got curb stomped by trash mobs, because derp, derp, derp.

Last night I commissioned character concepts for this thing I'm writing. I've got 70k-ish words. I have to get those words into manga panels.

I work nights and I'm awake during full blown day time. I hate this. #insomnia can suck my whole entire dick.

I've been playing a fair amount of Path of Exile 2 since it entered early access. I played a witch in the first game (POE), and am back at it again. It's an S-tier game. If you're into action RPGs, you are the target audience. #POE2 #PathofExile2

It's ungodly late and I'm re-writing an entire chapter because I'm an idiot and forgot snow on the ground. How do you forget snow on the ground???

Well it's taken them/us long enough to get around to it. I work with health data regularly and many foreign countries are doing a much better job at this than we are. So. Much. Better.

If you're angry because: -Inflation is high -Crime is rising -Migrants are invading -Fentanyl overdoses are rising -The economy is bad The truth is: -Inflation isn't high -Crime has been falling for years -Border crossings are the lowest in over 4 years -Fentanyl overdoses are dropping rapidly

I don't think Star Wars fans ruined this. The show was bad. I watched the whole thing and it was bad. I had high hopes and was let down. The potential was high, execution was poor. https://www.cbr.com/star-wars-fans-ruined-the-acolyte-chance-sith-solo-story/

for over a year, US media has helped the WH distance itself from the horrors of Gaza by employing 3, largely fictitious reporting genres. I and my pseudonymous co-author detailed these 3 genres and how they helped successfully take pressure off the Biden admin www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I feel very called out on this article, but it's really about Sam Altman's inability to properly choose his writing tools. I care a lot about paper and pens. "Blue ink is unserious".... heathen. https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/25/24305832/sam-altman-pen-notebook-muji-uniball

Wagyu with rice and vegetables. It. Was. Amazing.😁

I am writing a book. I'll hopefully convert this book into a manga. This isn't my first time writing, but it is my first time having a firm goal of publishing something. Adventure abounds!

I haven't been on social media in years. I'm told people like food. I have no idea what to post yet. 😅
