Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Sunday, Game morning & Tale Foundry

Just finished game time with the international maniacs. I'm watching Tale Foundry and about to ponder the prompt.

I also wish to get onto Animal Crossing: New Horizons to do the whole turnip thing. It's a THING. Turnips == profit + stock market joke.

So I'll be warming up the Switch to play whilst I listen to the Foundry.

Story happening live on stream after that. It's going to be fun. The cats wish to be fed hours ago.

Challenge #03695-J042: Soft Space for All

Aboard a ship heading to the edge, the human creates a special room filled with pillows and stuffed animals. They are asked why the odd room? Two words, emergency de-stressing. For everyone. -- Anon Guest

They began with soft lining for the floor, walls, and ceiling. Following that were large enough soft furnishings to, as Human Bakr put it, "confound a horse."

There were also animal effigies in soft fabrics.

There were also soft, colourful lights and ur-music with calming and meditative

Saturday, Parkrun

This time, my defences against Sneezin' and Wheezin Season worked and I did the whole 5K walk. Yay.

I have had a post-perambulatory reward. I have had a nap. I have futzed around on Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

So now I really should get on with other stuff. Starting with the daily tale.

Tomorrow's game session is early in my morning, and there's a higher chance that I will be streaming after Tale Foundry, so keep an eye out on that.

Onwards,

Challenge #03694-J041: Let Our Motto be Broadcast

"Why do you have THAT many weapons on your walls?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Isn't it a bit .... overkill?"

"Nah, I just really like all these pretty sharp things."

"Are they actually useful?"

"When have you ever seen me without a blade during an emergency?"

"Fair point." -- Anon Guest

Human Reg had one of the more interesting mottos: "It's better to be prepared than be embarrassed." To that end, she always had a knife, a multitool, or both somewhere on her

Friday, Continuing PLNs

I have cleaned out the Catio. I have fed my Starters and made The Bikkie. I have also recently consumed The Bikkie.

I have done the Blorbo meme over on Blajaj

So now I'm all set to do more set dressing, fic tagging, and chapter summarising.

I tried to do a new cover with Lunacy, but...

It's a bit on the pathetic side.

Look you:

[Shown here: The cover for 2022's Year of Instants as if made by someone who's heard it

Challenge #03693-J040: Nothing Wrong in Here

A strange noise is coming out of the human habitat. When they look in, the pet is rushing around like it's half-insane. The human chuckles and calls it the "midday zoomies". -- Anon Guest

Companion Xaal had detected strange noises inside Human Per's habitat. A rhythmic thumping and an irregular vocalisation that could imply physical or mental distress. Alarmed, ze entered the emergency code that let hir into the Human's area.

Human Per was jumping up and down, arms and legs going

Thursday, Remedicated and Revitalised

I have my meds [Yay!] and I have learned that they discontinued the best brand so now I have to settle for the next best thing.

So far, so good. It took a while to kick in but I am no longer in agony from the light of my monitor so all is well.

I'm getting on with getting on, today.

  • Tag a week
  • Summarise a chapter
  • Set dress some dungeon
  • Figure out WTF I can do with the stuff I have

Challenge #03692-J039: The Largest To-Read List

A person had a perfect memory. Working hard, they went to the B'Nari to get an artificial body, but kept that eidetic memory talent of theirs. Then they went to an Archivaas world, and asked to please spend time in the libraries to read, and make friends. -- DaniAndShali

Records, memories, events. Experiences. Emotions pressed onto paper in nothing more than black and white. Some preserved these in ridiculous measures. Climate-controlled mega-structures containing labyrinths of stacks. Not just books. Movies. Holograms. Games.

Wednesday, Wordpress and Doctor's

I need the superior painkillers because Cyclone Season is upon us. Western Australia got the first one, but Queensland's overdue for the second one.

I'm out of those things I need and the prescription is needed for more.

So I might be a little late with getting the nonsense out in the world today. Stay tuned to my socials.

Meanwhile, I shall be working on the stuff for Tale Foundry. Reviews and kudos to everyone who did something neat.

Maybe you'll find

Challenge #03691-J038: One Abandoned Prize

A Human, and their Havenworlder spouse, find an early-shattering, almost pre-shattering, ship in nearly perfect condition with all of its materials, well almost all of it's materials, intact. And they're able to claim it. -- Anon Guest

One being's trash is another's treasure. Truer words had never come out of the entire insane mess that was the Human race. Things thrown away in eons past became valuable in later years. Things valuable in eons past also became worthless.

Thus, the cycle of

Challenge #03690-J037: Advanced Resistance

Wraithvine y sus amigos entran en un pueblo afectado por un brote de sarampión. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Translation from DuckDuckGo - Wraithvine and hir friends enter a village affected by a measles outbreak.]

Some called it Red-rash. Some called it Childpox, Some cursed its seemingly eternal presence as children passed it between other children. It was known mostly as Measles, and was wrongfully dismissed as a harmless childhood disease.

It was only ever survivable if the sufferer caught it when they

Long Monday, Soon to Change!

We have a new time slot for Game Night! It's going to be Game Morning. In which the game time slot moves to my 4AM on a Sunday.

I might actually have my weekends back.

Depending on whether or not it's okay to take off on whatever after 8AM.

I might still have to cancel the odd stream now and then.

BUT I also have to rearrange the schedule yet. Might be happening later.

Today, I am going to try and actually

Challenge #03689-J036: Three in the Family

A: love is a 5 letter word

B & C: …what?

A: because it’s incomplete without you <3

B: …loveu?

A: no

C: louve?

A: stop it -- Anon Guest

"Ulove?" suggested Beau.

"I was trying," huffed Ali, "to flirt with the both of you. But if you have no intention of being cool about it..."

"Aw," sighed Cair. "I didn't mean it. I was trying to figure how it worked?" She was the word nerd who spent most of

Sunday, Tale Foundry and Game Nite

Tale Foundry is about to stream, I am going to try recreating my usual trick of writing a story before the stream ends.

See how I go, as I have zero ideas for this week's prompt.

I shouldn't force it to be KoshDelia, but I keep thinking KoshDelia thoughts about it.

Meh.

Also at some point today, I should make The Bikkie.

Tonight, I shall do the stream thing and y'all have a chance to catch me writing even more of A
