likely to post less going forward short answer: dislike how it feels you have to follow trends rather than passion here the 9 games post doing more than anything else I've posted here has given me pause.

Games that impacted my brain chemistry growing up, sorted by how easy recalling core memories are.

happy belated birthday Milas... (2/28)

Milas: Doesn't say compliments often, but when he does it's short but meaningful. Malina: Gives compliments readily, and very often when she feels strongly about the feat done.

Milas: Early for dinner and early to bed. The body rests, the mind awake, to relax and play within the dreamscape. Malina: Saves enough energy when getting home, to prepare a vacation: With the right food, lighting, and ambience, it's fun to imagine that you're somewhere else after a workday.

outlook: no Today is Milas's birthday (2/28) and had the idea of this piece, in the days ahead will try to finish

Milas: Takes losing with grace in competitions, but when he breaks a winning streak: One loss after many wins makes him focus on that single failure. Malina: Cares more about the idea of the competition rather than the end result; If she does get upset, its about foul play rather than the loss.

Milas: Internally, he wishes to intervene badly, the problem is that he knows reacting can end badly. He doesn't act at the moment, but when prepared, justice will be done. Malina: Reacts upon witnessing it, and often fights through words, or by magic if the only way is through recompense.

Within Chroniyita, healthcare fluctuates between the researched methods, to the use of magic for healing wounds of the body & soul. Alchemy is a notable combination of science and magic into one; Doctors who can adapt to the three practices are considered savants within their field.

Milas: Snowman building and ice sculptures, he doesn't get the chance to do so often due to city life. Malina: Walking through the countryside after a thick snowfall, bonus points if it's at night with clear skies.

Most hats you can think of exist within Chroniyita, most of the time are only for sentimental value to the wearer. Enchanted headgear is one of the many forms of authenticity for ceremonies and formal affairs; Enchanted objects are often used as mark of station, and the wearers individuality.

Milas: The smell of a swimming pool: A mixture of chlorine, linen, and sunscreen. Malina: A tropical shoreline forest, or a coastal sand dune!

no clue if I'd finish this by saturday

Milas: Would say he doesn't wear it when asked, but when the cards are down (red sock in washer), he doesn't mind. Malina: Wears pink without any issue when prompted, it's not usually in her wardrobe except for special occasions.

Depending on the type of calamity, The Cabal is called out for major disasters relating to the Arkane, a worldwide organization for talented spellcasters within Chroniyita. If it's threatening enough to spill out past the material plane and the realms beyond, then the Transcendent get involved...

Share a TV show that raised you

Milas: Cosplay is more practiced during Halloween / Festivities, but formal dressing is standard fare for the organization he's in. Malina: Cosplays a bit more frequently, but has to wear formal clothing during gatherings (and hates it.)

Planar Astrologist: The study of extraplanar realms within Chroniyita: Knowledge of worlds beyond the material plane is shared freely, but traversing them is another story.

Milas: Clean sheets, warm clothing... Malina: Ice cubes, toasted bread...

guess who got his first ever fire cape babyyyyyyyyyy, im NEVER taking this off (except for when the game forces me to go to the wilderness)

research

Milas: Realized the difference between glass colored purple and amethyst too late in a personal project Malina: Learning that even if you spend most of the day underwater, you are not immune to getting sunburned.

Milas: 2.5~4, Varies depending on the day and current situation, a constant comfort in life is the security of a hug. Malina: 3, but her solitary nature drops it to a 1.

youtu.be/czIXB1fozdc?... this is a ramble but some early youtube (2005-2011) videos with royalty free music resonate with me personally

hello malina arete... vsona.co/malina-arete/ Design sheet commissioned from @girc00.bsky.social, please support her...

Milas lore snippet His magic is unstable compared to most magic-practitioners, influenced by emotion and focus: The eyes change depending on the situation, and if intense emotion and focus happens... The silver sash/girdle he wears is meant to dampen unstable magic like this.

my two cents on the discord news I feel that the staff wouldn't listen to any kind of feedback, they went forward with the UI "upgrade" despite overwhelming disapproval. Start archiving the stuff you care about on there to local / cloud storage and cancel your nitro, for that's what I'm doing.

If it was a vacation, go on a travel trip to immerse in learning the finer history of Chroniyita and to enjoy myself. If I had to stay, panic, then hope that my current life skills can secure a stable lifestyle, and try to keep my head low.

it's calling to me again

had an idea, wanted to draw it myself

Milas's hair originally was a shade of brown (#58442C in hex to be specific), after the event that set him on the path where he is today, it changed to an orange-tuscany color (#B74C2D) within a year. Going with Orange or Red, both of them have meanings that fit well (Rebellion, Passion, Power)!

been playing around with obsolete software inside of my VM, sometimes hits close to home
