    Chewbacca at the park today: Dad’s been working with Penny to get her sitting and holding without being a spaz. We’ll see how she does with a duck this fall!

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Oh nice, I saw this one on Reddit a while back of his and maybe even posted it here. Good stuff!

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I always pictured Yedan more robust. That’s some awesome art though. Where did you buy those? Trying to think of some iconic scenes I’d want artwork of. A couple that come to mind quickly: the list goes on and on. There’s so much awesome stuff in this series. I really wish whoever is doing...

    Someone posted a video a week or two ago about black holes, their mass and size. Space is incredible. I think the biggest black hole they showed in that video was the mass of 30 billion of our Sun, and dwarfed our entire galaxy. When I think about space and what’s out there.. we are so...

    Hmm, I’ll have to try tonight to do less GCD healing. I have typically relied on Aspected Benefic and Aspected Helios for healing the tank. I’ll try leaning into the oGCD moves a bit more this evening and see how it goes.

    Anyone playing AST? I’ve got SGE and BLM leveled up. Both my buddies who are healers are playing SCH though, so I need to get a regen healer leveled up. I am only 92, have just done a handful of dungeons so far. I like the new draw and play mechanics. Too often before I found myself not drawing...

    That's Old Faithful Inn, right? Parents took us on a "out west" summer vacation between junior and senior years of high school. We saw Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Devil's Tower, and spent a full week inside Yellowstone. Was an awesome trip, though I know I was jonesing for EQ the entire time...

    At the end of the day I think you play whatever you’re best at in this game, the difference in dps isn’t like in WoW where first is miles ahead of last. If you aren’t doing ultimate raids or racing for world first savage, you should be fine whatever you play.

    BLM is definitely in the best spot it's ever been with regards to being able to cast on the move, get back to your ley lines, etc. It is still punishing though if you mess up the rotation. Having to transpose back to Umbral Ice just to keep the timer ticking, despite having the mana to continue...

    I think they generally do a pretty good job of keeping the jobs well balanced. The way I understand it is that because Bards bring a bit of utility, they'd have lower personal DPS than other pure DPS jobs. However, their ability to continue their rotation while moving may make up for that. You...

    House of the Dragon

    I was surprised at how empty the corridors were as well. This is the royal family, the heir to the throne, and there's not a guard at his door or anywhere in the vicinity. A couple of dudes come in through the sewers, stroll right through the throne room where the king is drinking, and manage to...

    My boy keeps trying to catch bees. Maybe he’ll FAFO at some point.
