I'd rather be hibernating

I'm Aerinis. I enjoy birds, horses, World of Warcraft, and Final Fantasy XIV. This is a general blog for whatever cool stuff I find, and also a place to post my occasional pieces of art.

well we did end up making it to P3 three times tonight, and immediately died horribly when everyone apparently forgot what a soak is and how to resolve it

[aerinis]

Saw up to just before the first pizza slices in P3 and they’re all thinking we’re primed for a kill tomorrow (we are most definitely not lmao) but I did get to experience a grown man call out over discord in sheer terror as he watched me (newly assigned seed carrier in p3) get unwillingly rescued away by some random ass evoker who’s not even supposed to be in our group, yoinking the lifegiving light of my presence a good 30 yards away and causing him to die horribly in the dark. so overall pretty fun night

[lizardsister]

broooo did you seriously disturb my eternal rest & bring me back to this mortal coil just because my ancient enemy the eternal night has returned? after i sealed it away and everything? which one of you tampered with my binding runes 🙄

[lizardsister]

where's my useless apprentice i TOLD him it was going to be the duty of the next generation to not repeat the mistakes of those before them and to make this world bet- oh my apprentice goes by her now? you're telling me she's right in front of me! my dear i'm so sorry i didn't know. you look so much more happier and more confident than the bumbling, shy apprentice i once knew. im so proud of you. were you the one who tampered with my fucking runes

heading in to the hospital tonight to hopefully finally figure out wtf is wrong with me regarding why I've been sleeping like shit the last six months. fully expecting this to be the most awkward night of my life

[aerinis]

covered in wires

[aerinis]

Slept like absolute SHIT and now I’m stuck in the parking lot waiting for all this black ice that randomly got dumped overnight to melt before I can leave 👍

[aerinis]

I gave these guys way too much money just for them to tell me they didn’t see anything wrong with me. wack

[aerinis]

five months later my sleep still sucks BUT I did just get a preeetty nice check from the hospital because I guess they sold my sleep data or something. whatever

The video game history foundation has just finished scanning every copy of the neopets magazine and added it to their archive. Super cool!

Why we scanned every issue of Neopets The Official Magazine | Video Game History Foundation

It might be a little silly, but Neopets Magazine is an important slice of a different part of gaming culture.

During its four-year run, Neopets Magazine covered the latest news and strategies for the influential 2000s-era web game. It also had a lot of articles about Neopets merchandise and trading cards. In fact, it’s mostly ads for Neopets products. Or long articles about Neopets lore. At best, it is mostly an off-topic magazine. So why did we focus on this magazine of our archive? Simple: it’s about the game’s audience. Neopets was, arguably, the defining girl game of the 2000s. An entire microgeneration of girls got their start in the world of digital entertainment by raising virtual pets and playing Flash games to get Neopoints. [...] Notably, many of the magazine’s articles are about creativity and customization. There’s shades in here of the gameplay styles that have become more popular in the last decade with the rise of cozy games and farming sims. My favorite quirk of Neopets Magazine is in the audience survey that came with some issues. In one survey question, they asked whether readers bought this magazine at a clothing store! That would have reached a completely different audience than we usually associate with game magazines. Can you imagine PC Gamer being sold at a Charlotte Russe? The point is that Neopets The Official Magazine represents a different slice of gaming culture, one that we know matters to researchers and to our extended community.
