I didn't realise these auto-posted to Bluesky 😳 Took a little longer than I wanted, I couldn't decide on what to write where. The info for the Actuality Relic ended up just being posted in the images section using my inferior Photoshop skills but whatever. This is the Bastion of the Surreal:

So I think todays the day I post my first two Homestead creations 😊 Just need to check over a couple of things. I'll go over what each little area is when I post it later but I wanted to show the before and after for the 'main map'. The one that kinda explains what the Bastion of the Surreal is.

Sat through a work meeting discussing strategies to improve meeting patient targets. The outcome was the creation of a list so everyone can help in chasing patient scans etc. You know... the thing we stopped doing last year because it wasn't deemed necessary. That everyone has seemingly forgotten.

You wanna know why my Homestead design is taking so long? Because my OCD brain spends literal hours trying to find the best layout for fucking floor supports. And the Bastion isn't square so it's all trial and error. And there's a bit of water I want to do something cool with under there.

Looking at FFXIV fanfest photos, wishing it was Guild Wars instead. Maybe one day.

Grabbing some plants for my little 'rooftop garden' yesterday but couldn't resist grabbing an extra ☺️

Getting to the end of Stargate SG-1 for the 2nd time and still having a whole bunch of Atlantis to watch... I hope the revival series is more like the former than the latter. McKay is the only character keeping me from completely losing my cool with Atlantis at this point.

I haven't forgotten about my SAB-inspired homestead. Truth is I know I'm not the most creative so I wanted to make up for that by telling a sort of long-term story with all my Homesteads. Upon finishing this homestead something didn't sit right. I don't want THIS homestead to be chapter 1 of this

Jealous? @gemma-babbler.com

First three Tribulation Mode levels complete! It's weird that I've struggled so hard over the years to complete these. I think back in the day when they had the latency issues dodging the angry rocks was a huge problem but now, although annoying, it's alright. 3 more to go! #GW2 #GuildWars2 #SAB

Changed up Kaeoja's look a little as I mess around with Sword-Pistol. The normally stupidly expensive Carnival Sword that I got from a random Wardrobe pull I think works really well. This'll be my second set though, I'm working towards a new sword today 😋 #GW2 #GuildWars2

My dad called me up, asked if I wanted to go to a bootsale. Definitely up for that! We leave, we arrive, it's not on. He's confused. He definitely saw today's date and so whipped out his phone. He points...at the Google AI overview. Which is incorrect. Fuck AI and fuck Google for forcing it on us.

I just need to vent, ignore me: Stargate Atlantis so far has had a few good episodes and plenty of bad but without a doubt the most infuriating is S03E05: Progeny. In this one episode the crew abandon all their morals and decide that rather than trusting in a deal made with a machine race they'd

I've participated in 6 SAB Festivals over the years and still to this day I've only ever completed one Tribulation Mode level. Determined that this year will be the year I get... well, one more at the very least! #GW2 #GuildWars2 #SAB

Louis Theroux: The Settlers. Damn was that a hard watch, took me a few bites to finish it as it kept riling me up and making my blood boil. This week I added 'Atheist' to my bio on here and while that's always been true I've never felt more firm in my belief of having no belief.

Post a Star Trek gif for First Contact Day

I've found that the more I get into #GW2 Homesteading the more I'm looking around the open world for how different assets are used by the devs to create texture in the game. The boss platform in Shipwreck Strand is beautifully crafted!

IT'S MA BIRTHDAY!🎂 Per tradition, I ask if you'd like to share my art on the platform and get me potential new friends 🙏 I've also got some discounted slots for May and June pinned 👀 #art

I'm out of Refined Wood and Metal. The later could be due to the fact I'm sitting at 77 'Super Rock Walls' and need another 30 more... Sneak peak 🫠 It'll be a couple of weeks before I have enough resources but I have the plan finalised. 3-4 JPs, a little maze and some secrets 😋 #GW2 #GuildWars2

As an undiagnosed autist I get slightly... frustrated when plans change or something is thrust on me with little time to react. Imagine my feeling when I realised in my work meeting today that we have a 4 day weekend that I knew nothing about because I'm not religious. Joy AND dread is def a thing!

The Longcat tonic is a wondrous thing but it was predictable that something even this powerful wouldn't cut through the magical aura that Isgarren has going on. Rytlock looks cute, poor kitty! And Sayida... oh... me thinks someone has a secret she's yet to tell us... #GW2 #AprilFools #GuildWars2

I thought Superman was a good start to the DCU but wasn't a huge fan of the story and thought Nicholas Hoult's Lex was just waaay off. Heard #Supergirl was next up, thought yeh sure I'll watch it. *checks out trailer* "Well fuck me does that look great."

I've been frequenting the 'new' Lion's Arch in #GW2 for over 6 years now and I NEVER KNEW Evon Gnashblade checks in on the Trading Post from time to time. How have I never seen him?!

A bit of a bad mental health day that I tried curing with a 2hr nap but instead made myself feel physically worse. Regardless I did a tiny bit of #GW2 Homesteading. Built a little Norn-themed outbuilding for Deft Lahar complete with garden storage, and almost done on Aven's bedroom (pics tomorrow).

In a bit of a #GW2 Homestead building mood so Ive been doing a little remodelling of my personal Homestead. Nothing major but jazzed up the Mount pen and made a secret area that Kaeoja likes to disappear to now and then. She doesn't have a set bedroom, she makes dens wherever she feels comfortable.

After 3 months of chasing Am*zon are refusing to refund a Soundbar that THEY lost then re-charged me for. They're now lying by saying I returned the wrong item... because it's their last trick to avoid paying me. Perfect excuse to close my 16+ year account permanently 🫡

Finally finished the Quest RPG Calendar from...2022 -.- Azmyra is a badass pirate who rocked around with a little demon and her boy toy centurian for most of the game. Questionable morals, a penchant for gold, proficient in dextrous combat and charming the local folk... when not robbing them blind.

Mick Foley Speaks Up On American Administration Cruelty, Asks Others To Use Their Voice

Went for a seafront walk as it's a lovely day and down below some guy shouts "Bobby!" and I'm thinking a doggo has wandered off too far from it's owner. I look down and I shit you not this pigeon hops along the table and flies into this guy's arms.

AEW All In tickets booked for the year 🫡 They've reduced the amount of sections in the cheapest bracket so getting roughly the seats we got in 2024 was more expensive but it's alright. Still very reasonable IMO.

Kitty got a little too toasty... #GuildWars2 #GW2

Gave Slay The Spire 2 a play, see what the fuss was all about while ignoring the huge 'Early Access' sign. I should not have ignored the sign. Early Access games are unfinished and anyone reviewing or rating an early access game is delusional. It's really soured my view of the game tbh.

It's my birthday and I'm legally allowed to once again ask you for likes and reposts. #gw2 #guildwars #dragon #griffon #art

Found a YT channel where the guy has been making gaming videos for 11 years. Over 4,100 of them posted before quitting 3 years ago with not so much as a goodbye. Of those only 111 of them ever got above 2k views. The vast majority are in the double digits. I don't know why but I just find that sad.

A bit of Silent Hill this afternoon. Halfway down the pier you can't see the shore, it's super creepy.

Welcome to the Bastion of the Surreal. So this #GuildWars2 homestead template I've been working on for a while is my attempt at explaining in a lore-friendly way how my designs seemingly appear from nowhere. The Bastion is an outpost on the Janthir coast where the Wizards Court used to conduct...

YouTube's recommended videos list is usually something to ignore... but hats off to it this morning! ANGUS McSix are ridiculous and I love them already.

Joining the Eurovision boycott this year but figured I'd check out the entries now before I add to any impressions nearer the event. Luckily it's a very weak year but I did like a couple: Eva Marija - Mother Nature (Luxembourg)

You know how I found Glitch? How I started watching The Amazing Digital Circus after I initially dismissed it as looking like a university project? My 6 year old nephew He's of the age where he's just watching stuff because it's 'funny' or colourful but TADC is something we can share. It's awesome.

The 'bring back Firefly' thing has been around for so long now it's become a part of the cultural zeitgeist in of itself. Honestly I'm very confused by these rumours. Massively excited but... I mean Serenity is 21 years old now! A new season is going to have to take that into account surely?!

Black Flag is one of those games I never managed to complete. First playthrough my HDD killed my save, second I bounced off of a little and third I think I got super into Stellaris and heard rumours of a remake in sight. Really looking forward to trying again!

It's been super foggy all day today which is a little unusual. Air quality index is apparently not too high but you can definitely smell something in the air. Still, we've gotten a moody sunset out of it ☺️

The smallest of GW2 bugs: Once you join the Eldvin Monastery Brew of the Month Club you get sent a bottle of speciality alcohol every month in the mail. I've been storing them for a special occasion. July's offering is a Bottle of Istan Pale Ale. I've only ever gotten one in the mail.

Wait wait wait... the new series of Scrubs is actually REALLY good?! (RIP Sam Lloyd)

Spending an hour resizing and replacing a hundred homestead decor pieces because you originally placed them with your max-sized Norn and didn't realise how big everything was. Just GW2 things.

*dressing up my necro Rraygar for the first time in forever* "Oooh I like that top... oh it's a Starlit Weald achievement that I'm nearly done with! Might as well head back." 4 HOURS LATER after having done the meta, completed unnecessary events, explored a little, danced with some pineapples...

Rewatching Stargate season 9 for the first time and the introduction of the Ori as the new primary antagonists is much more enjoyable this time around. However every episode I've watched that doesn't feature them as some part of the story has been... dire.

Politics is equal parts infuriating and interesting to me. Just for those who think that all hope is lost this is a Green Party candidate winning a Labour seat because the latter tried appealing to those on the far right. All the while the actual far right didnt have the steam to get anywhere near.
