Okay I’m very teary eyed while doing the laundry and watching the reading of names. No distance between that Tuesday and this Friday at all. #september11

Nothing beats Agricola, the board game. Still the best resource management game. 🤓

The Fibonacci sequence appears in nature more frequently than one might expect; the branching of trees, arrangement of leaves on a stem, the fruitlets of a pineapple, even the spiral galaxies all exhibit Fibonacci patterns.

An update into the void. I got through Galdera’s Phase 1. Finally, after so many strategies tried including grinding to levels 75-80. Then I immediately got killed in Phase 2. Haha. I’ll use Throne (not Temenos) to nuke everything instead. But I gotta get through Phase 1 again. 😂😭🙄

Marie B @mbismonte.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

GM. Gonna spend 2 hours figuring out my team set-up, skills, & secondary jobs to stand up to Galdera. I can’t get past Phase 1, which means, my initial strategy has to be foolproof for me to get to Phase 2 consistently & then figure this out, too. Haha. I didn’t like Octopath 2 & now I love it. 😂

Marie B @mbismonte.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I came here to say I can’r beat Galdera in Octopath 2. I tried everything such as guides and whatnot. Haha. I have to figure this out. It’s killing me. 😭😭😭 I need to beat him in Phase 1 before he revives the elemental souls. 😂

Rewatching The Sopranos. Janice Soprano was portrayed so well that I hate her, laugh at her, pity and empathize with her, and love her all at the same time. Aida Turturro was so good in this role.

Han Kang’s The Vegetarian is so good my words don’t do it justice. It’s compressed, layered, and demands careful reading. Attentiveness to the language of being inside a perpetrator’s interiority is a must — lest you get taken and violated, too. They should teach this is in craft school.

I bought Triangle Strategy for 60% off. I hope it’s as good as Unicorn Overlord. Octopath Travelers 2 is something that’s growing into me, though doing all stories is a chore. I need to level up all eight characters for end game and it’s a chore. Is Triangle Strategy like this?

Rewatching HBO’s The Leftovers and Season 2’s “An International Assassin” is one of best well-written stories EVER. It ended with someone saying “holy shit!” Indeed. And I see how it works in novel form, too. That’s how brilliant the writing is. We need more shows like this.

Rebuild from the bottom. That’s the SteadyStacks™ ad from Issue 7. Blocks falling. You start again. I’m finishing this project and I’m sad about it. Ten issues of a thing I built while the bottom was still the bottom—still is, if I’m honest. Check out the zine serial on mbismonte.itch.io.
