Lost Whyspers

Basically trying to keep my head above water Lots of waves, lots of ups and downs this weekend Best benefit is that I'm focusing more on future survival Survival in terms of everything: physical, mental, emotional The Emperor's Soul still touches me I want time to think over things more Story makes me think about reviewing my past blog entries Probably going to read Warbreaker next Another Cosmere book by Brandon Sanderson Coup: Uprising game on FoL was canned Host found more errors with potentially serious consequences Put up poll on whether to can the game Listening to "Viking" songs often recently Started with Skellige song from GWENT that I love Found other similar songs

Getting some professional tasks done Playing less on BGA lately Not playing mobile games lately Still considering Mobile Legends Also considering GWENT Listening to podcasts Bookworm 125: Willpower Doesn’t Work by Benjamin Hardy Existential Stoic Podcast - A Field Guide to a Happy Life - with Massimo Pigliucci Bookworm 126: The Mountain is You by Brianna Wiest Bookworm 127: The Art of the Idea by John Hunt Reading Rhythm of War Slacking on practicing Chinese Still need to reply to a few people Artwork above based on Saber character added to some 2D fighter game called Melty Blood Saw an announcement about it recently Slightly tempted to play Realized I'm not that good at 2D fighter games 🙂 Plus it wasn't mobile

Bullet journal really was a good idea When uncertain what to write, I can fall back to this I actually have so much I want to write about, but getting stuck on where to begin Bullet lists help with just ignoring formalities with writing and just listing stuff Want to write about stuff related to Forum Mafia Want to write about online friends Want to write about goals Want to write about stuff I've been reading or listening to Oh, Vulgard did send me a message saying that he does read my blog still 😀 Feels nice to have people like him and Scruffy reading Going through old task list started 8 years ago Kind of depressing seeing all the things I wanted to do but didn't Also relieving to see issues that have already resolved themselves Transcribed some thoughts while walking yesterday Need to go through and make corrections then post Pretty much stopped playing GWENT Not abandoning it though Kind of a come and go came I'll probably get the feeling to play again at some point R...

Feel kind of stuck again Though I've made some progress on thoughts for future Need to keep pushing Reading through games on FoL makes me even more eager to train for FM Especially like what I read from Eevee Might consider studying Eevee more Might ask him questions Keep wondering how much to believe in reads and statements from other players Also think Marshal and Vulgard are good players to study Wondering about SDA Possibly better than I use to think Players from other sites are interesting to read as well Players like Helz and DkKoba Still have professional tasks to handle Still have habits to develop Think maybe I need to give attribution for images used here Not sure how to best do that Should I go back to previous posts? SINoALICE became more fun recently with new guild Senate Nice feeling again of helping to build up guild Not sure how long this will last Still miss old days with SINcerity Haven't been playing GWENT Arknights has become mostly a chore again Need to fi...

Handling urgent situation Also have other complicated issue Potential huge issues looming in near future GWENT released new expansion New cards available Some look very beautiful Not sure I like having to now deal with new mechanics 🙂 Almost done organizing WLOP artwork Blender 3D model of mermaid included in one package UPDATE: just finished!

Uninstalled SINoALICE Feeling the temptation, so forced myself to remove it When I think about it logically, there's no good reason to keep it Small benefit of being part of guild and needed does not outweigh all the negatives I can find fellowship elsewhere Progressing some in Arknights Finally able to play CC CC so difficult Need to ask Jane about FBR tool Feeling slightly depressed Slightly lonely too Feeling a bit lost Should work on small steps only Not as interested in playing GWENT recently Not sure if I should play Wild Rift Still not happy about the customer support Checked and still can't access shop Thinking about Dragon Raja Still want to make video of my character Probably should uninstall after that Foster removed me as a Discord friend?

Still enjoying GWENT Growing concerns Water shortage in Taiwan Threat of attack by China Worries about moving back to US Made spreadsheet for Forum Battle Royale turn processing Position in queue at FoL coming up soon Upcoming holiday weekend will be busy

Died in Minority Rule Royale game at Forum of Lies Friend Archer still alive Based my picks on rooms that reminded me of characters from Stormlight Archive Unfortunately Illusion turned into Death 😃 Feel I should drink more water Also less coffee GWENT still fun Back to reading Classroom of the Elite Vol. 2 Archer watched Death Note Interesting discussion with him about series He mentioned theory about Light becoming shinigami Found out the Netflix live-action Death Note has different storyline

Wrote long post for Forum Mafia Found it does help clarify my thoughts Gives a cathartic release Tab background images still feel nice to look at Have some time available today, but don't feel like doing much Considering using code names for projects Fascinated reading Oathbringer Played well in GWENT this morning

Running into more difficult opponent decks in GWENT Getting slightly frustrated with political debates on Mafia Colosseum Discord Gorta arguing against wearing masks Arguing that COVID isn't so bad Arguing that Texas isn't so badly off compared to other places Getting his facts wrong and then ignoring when people point this out His bad arguments make causes he upholds look bad Osie saying that US Conservatives are all Nazis His blanket condemnation of conservatism is disturbing Clear New Tab extension for Microsoft Edge is working nicely Enjoy seeing collected pics whenever open new browser tab Bullet Journal experiment working nicely Definitely see increase in blogging Feel getting better at just writing and not worrying New paid nightmare in SINoALICE Rikone, Nine-tailed Rejection Need to get her since she's nine-tailed fox girl Kitsune from my character Whysper Kitsune is Japanese for nine-tailed fox Thought I was done buying nightmares in SINoALICE, but this is must-hav...

Played lot of GWENT Still liking Druid deck Building Nilf deck to work on contract Listened to  Philosophize This!  podcasts Reason isn't always the best Ancients followed virtue more, which gave direction Ideal vs. real, ancients vs. moderns Read some more  Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope Thinking vs. feeling Emotions are necessary for action Reason without emotion will go nowhere

Signed up as backup for game on Mafia Colosseum Listened to Philosophize This! podcasts Continuing to play GWENT Weather is getting warmer

Finished a post for Time Travel 2 Mishmash Back to regular schedule Still feel overwhelmed Glad I didn't join second Forum Mafia game Hope to have time for long walk this afternoon Need a nap Archer made second post to his blog Glad to see he's taking it seriously GWENT is addicting Enjoy strategy involved Feel it's better than other card games Listening to podcast where Jordan Peterson interviews Mark Manson Jordan Peterson Podcast S4 E5: Mark Manson and Jordan and Mikhaila Peterson Mark Manson is author of  The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Interesting conversation Makes me want to read his next book  Everything is F*cked: A Book About Hope They talk about how sacrifice gives more freedom instead of less Allows you to not worry about certain things anymore Also talked about how religion at least satisfies a natural religious impulse humans have Otherwise nowadays this is served through political and other belief systems

Joined Grand Colo for SINoALICE Our guild lost, but we played rather well against the odds Found out guild won yesterday's GC in exciting game Played SINoALICE quite a bit to catch up on recent missions Felt good to play Played GWENT some more Doing well with my Elf deck Want to continue playing Feeling good about today Considering Bullet Journal method Migration step each month meant to cause friction moving undone tasks Forces you to pause and consider whether task is worth doing Don't want to use analog journal, but maybe causing friction moving tasks can still achieve this Possibly find way to make it necessary to migrate each task once in awhile

Missed colo for SINoALICE Not sure if Grand Colo I think I woke to enter game but then fell asleep right away Feel like quitting the game Liking the new POG site Looks like members have been there for a long time, as far back as 2003 Hoping to put good effort into the mishmash Feeling so tired Can't concentrate very well Feeling so frustrated with [REDACTED] Played some GWENT More fun than I expected May continue playing again Continued reading The Bullet Journal Method Don't think I'll actually implement the full method Continuing to read just to find useful tips

I am considering leaving War of Genesis. When I moved over to TSO to follow my friend Mia, it was fun and I almost felt like the game was getting better. It makes so much difference to be among a good group of friends. But then the guild leader left, and things weren't quite the same anymore. Plus, the game itself isn't really conducive to group activities. So without a good social group, the game feels dead. I don't think I'll be investing much time into GWENT either. I already find that the strategy involved with the game requires some study and continued practice. I think I may still play it from time to time, but I don't expect it will be a main game for me. So I suppose that just leaves Dragon Raja. I still have my doubts about whether that will last long term. I like my club, but I don't feel quite that connected with it. I basically just have connections with a few people in the game. But those require a lot of time to maintain the relationships. T...

Haha, I seem to love making short blog posts. I just remembered that I hadn't mentioned GWENT. It's a card game based on the Witcher. I started playing when the mobile version came out recently. It's actually kind of fun. It requires strategy and I really like that. I especially find it interesting with the melee and ranged rows, and then the 3 rounds.
