i'm always pretty like minimal with my prep (the obsessive phase tends to mostly go to reading setting stuff, writing rules summaries, and things like that) usually but often when that phase passes i'm like, similarly bewitched by something else and end up having a hard time fitting in even the little bit of prep i think i need to do (in practice it is fine except that sometimes i get sufficiently anxious about it to cancel a session to delay to prep more hehe)

@pan nice. i often have the problem that i have like a phase of being super obsessive about a campaign and spend lotttts of time thinking about it, but that phase ends before the campaign actually gets going hehe. glad yr not having that problem ^{^}

@aescling @wallhackio there is a ZWSP on the end after the eye. maybe that's breaking the check?

upside of trying out soulbeast in gw2: a furry
downside: i don't throw shiny pink floating swords at people with my mind anymore

also in a practical sense i do more damage more easily

@Lady i have been playing guild wars 2 a lot and doing not a lot else due to being rather ill

@pan there's another mythological creature often called catoblepas that was also (at least in like, renaissance-era European writing about it) called gorgons. and that "gorgon" was described as a bull-like thing

@Lady @aescling oh yeah that's fucky. been a while since i looked at mastodon code i guess; i'd forgotten all of that.

or possibly it’s just midnight thirty and i should go to sleep and therefore everything seems weird rn lol

i’ve been playing guild wars 2 again lately and i have mostly kept to the character naming convention i used a decade ago long before i transitioned. which is gender neutral, but hearing people refer to me in the same way i was referred to back them… possibly it feels a bit weird. not entirely sure. hm.
