I had 2 hours of dental work done, walked for about 7 hours, came home and drank a CBD seltzer.

So, in lieu of a real post before I fall asleep:




This is Detective Rama and Mechanist Yao. They are going to be major characters in the Guild Wars 2 expansion that comes out at the end of the month. They clearly belong together.

According to the game's wiki Yao is confirmed to be agender? I thought that was still speculation based on VA statements. Well, we'll know in 24 days.

I had better get a lot of writing done this month because Cantha (the country the expac takes places in) is incoming.

Also I take 20 points of psychic damage every time some absolute child says that the Chinese historical hairstyles used for noble characters in Cantha are 'clearly ripping off Star Wars'.

Oof at that "criticism". I've heard so many similar things before, when it's a historical or mythical or folkloric reference. "That's a rip off of xyz popular media."

I hope the expansion is fun and that you meet with much success in writing before that! :D

Thanks!

As you can guess, I am very much looking forward to the expac. I don't post about GW2 much because I assume it'll sound like babble to most people. I tried to recently because I Did a Thing in game, but trying to even do a simplified explanation of what I did was running very long.

Long-running and lore-heavy games can be extremely hard to explain. There's just so many layers, between the lore, the plot, the mechanics, and the meta aspects, etc.!

The layers to how awkward it was to not have this done are varied and many, but also getting it is ... a lot.
