I woke up before 8:00 today, and had time to heat up the oven, bake my pizza, take the pizza out, and lose track of time on Quora for a while before realizing itâs past 8:00 and tossing stuff in the backpack and popping out the door.
Esme was still sick so we were all in for another day of Terry. Â Today we learned more about data structures and has maps. Â I soon realized that all of these were used as inventory types in Homestuck and that I already knew all of this. Â
After a half-day of data structures, we all dispersed to eat pizza and then gather in the room where the weekly speaker speaks words at us.
THIS WEEK, a writer-turned VR produced talked about how cool VR is and how itâs an untapped, unknown frontier as far as storytelling goes and that Seattle is a global VR hub and we should all be using it because itâs cool. Â This all just made me want a Vive even more.
then d&d. Â James left after mumbling something about guitars, our turtle-cook had to make up hours because he was sick for a few days so we were left with me, the goblin-cook, and the cat-man meme master. Â Oh, and the two NPCs who both a lot more important and interesting.
Today, we ran very far away from the robot-infested city and made our way to a cave-fortress with a couple more clockwork robots crawling around inside. Â Fortunately, they were really weak and were taken down easily.
We explored around for a while, with me checking every nook and cranny for explosive-making supplies (I had run out). Â We soon found a giant cavern with a fallen tower, several side-rooms, and a giant metal door with a minotaurâs face on it. Â While the rest of the party searched the side-rooms for supplies, Mr. Meme Master jumped right into the room and blew his airhorn.
The doors sealed themselves shut behind him and he was soon knocked unconscious by a giant clockwork-cyborg minotaur who used elemental magic in his punches.
Once he fell, the doors opened and we all dashed in for a boss battle.  It took quite a while to whittle the thingâs health down.  It was connected to some kind of crystal egg at the back of the room that kept attacking us and overcharging the minotaurs attacks.  I eventually killed it with my final explosive and we got some nice loot off of it.
At the end of the battle, the thing dropped a grief seed, tying into the Madoka theme. Â I assume there will be a lot more fights like these.
AND THEN I went home, woke up my computer and, on cue, encountered a Conrad ready for more Age of Empires. Â So we started up another gold-wall map and were preparing for an epic showdown when I realized that Conrad left the game on standard mode and that I could just build a wonder in the back of my walled-off area and wait for a few minutes and then I win.
So I did that and then IÂ hosted a game to make sure nothing like that happened. Â The match started to get interesting right as Conrad left. Â Then I wrote up all these blogs and went to bed(??)
