Cross-post (manual): I intend to update my FibroJedi #Patreon page within a week or so. Life's felt really messy and I've had like almost no social energy for ages. I'm on a new, additional, medication. No improvement so far. Upping the dose shortly...yay. ___ […] [Original post on gamepad.club]

Just had a good #LOTRO session with NJ before she went to her friend's for dinner and cake. I was sat a distance from the monitor, mostly on camera angle duty. We got lost a few times in Swanfleet, but we're doing well. #MMO #MMORPG #LOTR
NJ's lore-master, in a green robe, is riding a black horse that has a blue and white flag attached to the saddle. They are facing away from the camera, looking from a very high point, to the river below and the ruins in the very distant horizon. All the land around is brown and craggy.A ranger in a grey hood and cloak leans against a low stone wall with his arms crossed. A very happy Corgi is on the wall leaning over the ranger's shoulder, looking very happy with himself. It's himself, because NJ has said the Corgi is a boy.NJ's Crimson-robed LOTRO character riding a boar through low-lying green hills. Ruins are in the distance. A bandit is about to hit us from behind with a wooden club.

I've added the "featured image" of this chapter too. I don't know why #Patreon links don't give the preview when that information is public and not gated. But it is what it is. #Writing #Writer #AmWriting #AmWritingFantasy

I've now edited my ALTs from @altbot - mostly for the removal of repetition and "fixing" American spellings so they're British. No offence, Americans (or the bajillion other people who probably write "center" not "centre"). #photos #landscapes #loch #lochs #bluesky

Well, this sucks. BioWare, creators of the legendary Mass Effect series, is being closed by parent EA. The latest instalment in the series is also being canned. blog.bioware.com/2026/10/21/bioware… #BioWare

BioWare Update
For more than 30 years, BioWare has been more than a studio. It has been a home for storytellers, developers, and the players who brought our worlds to life. _Baldur’s Gate_. _Neverwinter Nights_. _Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic_. _Dragon Age_. _Mass Effect_. _Anthem._ Now, after more than three decades of shared adventures, BioWare is closing and early development on the next _Mass Effect_ project is ending. There is nothing easy about writing those words. Our focus right now is on our incredibly talented team who put their hearts into these games, and supporting one another through this transition. What generations of BioWare built together is something to celebrate and remember. These games became so much more because you played them, debated your choices, fell in love with the characters, and made these worlds your own. From all of us at BioWare, thank you for being the most meaningful part of our story. ### Share this: * Twitter * Facebook * Reddit * Tumblr * Categories BioWare

For me, the Switch is also of personal significance. Most of this year I've been unable to tolerate 2+ hours of my PC monitor at a time, due to the amount of pain I'm in. My hope is the smaller screen, while laid on the sofa or beanbag, will be a way to get some #FFXIV time again. I've wanted […]

Still really struggling to get over a bug which may, it turns out, be a related virus to one of the COVID strains. I'm feeling more organised, but being ill, drained, and in high pain most of the time, means I'm shattered. But most things can't be indefinitely pushed back. At least I can get […]

I have begun to feel more in control since using the #Capacities app. Once I have a thought, agree to do something, or need future me to remember a thing, it goes in the app. That lets me "file it away" for the future without losing it. So, having that has really helped me feel useful. But I […]

Serendipity really does have something against me. Still no shiny Applin. However, I've now caught 3 Shiny Slugma this week. I'd that one featured in anyway this week? Why, no. Not in the slightest. 🐌 #PokémonGo
A part screenshot from Pokémon Go. 

There are 2 grey smug Pokémon, ingeniously called Slugma. The third Pokémon is a pink snail with a brown shell, which is Shiny Slugma's evolved form.
