For the gods, the Eighth One is just like a little lamb, a two-headed one, defective from the moment of its creation, unsuitable for survival. But it's still a nice little wonder that can be sacrificed, even though it's not very valuable to them.

Today’s pet peeve is people who still recommend OpenOffice in 2024.

OpenOffice received its last update of note 10 years ago.

If you haven’t yet noticed that LibreOffice has existed as an up-to-date alternative for 13 years now, that says something about your ability to keep informed, and says a lot about whether your advice should be followed.

⸻

TL;DR: due to corporate shenanigans, many OpenOffice developers left the project in 2011 and created a clone named LibreOffice.

OpenOffice would receive two more major updates (4.0 in 2013 and 4.1 in 2014) before going mostly dormant.

LibreOffice has remained regularly updated, the latest major version to date being 24.8 (August 2024).

As of March 2026, the latest version of LibreOffice is 26.2 (February 2026)

but I still saw someone today mention using OpenOffice.

Notes from the “Bed Guardian” status guide:

Teeth: “Have you ever dreamt of growing too many teeth?” 

[+13 STR] [-20 INN]

Spiral: “Swirl into the unknown!”

[???]

Severed: “Witness the spectacle of your own face torn apart”

[+27 TER] [-15 REV]

Stats legend: STR (Strength) • TER (Terror) • REV (Reverie) • INN (Innocuity)

ANGEL’S PLAYGROUND

If your innocuity stat (INN) is too low*, there is a growing chance that at any moment you can be abruptly taken into the Angel’s Playground. Here you are called to play the (almost) impossible game chosen by the “Angel”. 

*[Your INN decreases when you become too menacing: by acting maliciously, violently, or by adopting death-bringing instruments]

How to Play Hide and Seek with the “Angel”

The bars will come down, shutting the gate, as soon as the “Angel” starts counting in a mellow, almost choral voice: you now have 999 seconds to find a place to hide in the Playground.

A shrieking shriek announces that the “Angel” has finished counting and is coming for you. 

Try to remain hidden or run away and survive for 999 seconds more; then the gate will open and you will be able to escape.

-> If you're caught: you lose. Your INN stat will be reset to zero, but you will lose all the bloodstained items in your inventory and, as an everlasting burden, suffer a permanent malus ([DIGESTED]) due to the trauma of being eaten alive by a seraphic entity. 

-> If you successfully escape and win the game: [???]

“Angel”

Once I had a nightmare:

there was an angel,

beautiful and perfect,

yearning to play childish games.

But I could see it was a monster:

a dummy depiction hiding its hatred,

craving to castigate and then digest,

me, for what I had become.

A gift for Beanie, one of my incredible discord moderators! They requested something with critters and something spaced themed, so it naturally followed that I had to draw space raccoons.
