Thank you! I got to depth 4 by playing quite a few depth 5 games, so it was nice to know I could hold my own at that depth.
Given that the Nr gameplay loop is addictive af, and I have a big project starting, it's time for Ironeye to hang up his quiver.
Thank you! It was a big thing for me
Hello, Bluesky! 👋
It’s been quite a while since I last posted, but I’m going to make a bit more of an effort.
Christmas and New Year were hectic, but I’ve got a few things from that stretch to share.
Also — I’m looking forward to catching up on the wonderful world of #musicscience !!!
Wild! (Or shoulder that be Wyld!)
Have you ever hit 9999? A potential future goal?
Image of the poster's Elden Ring Nightreign deep of night ranking and points. Ranking is depth 5, and points is 6150/9999
I achieved my goal: hitting depth 5 in #EldenRing #Nightreign "ranked mode" #deepofnight
According to stats published 1.12.25, depth 5 is the top 3% of players globally.
It was hard work, as I'm not a mechanically skilled gamer (hello millennial generation reaction times!)

Did you see the stats they released a while back? At the time depth 5 was the top 3% of players
When I got ed Balancers at depths 4-5, my thoughts were "This is pretty much a guaranteed loss".
The frequency of getting them since the patch has decreased tho right?
My challenge was also to hit D5, and did it yest! Grats to us!
Grats re max points! Impressive!

The perusal score for my sax quartet, Millennial, is now on my website. This high-energy, "dark-grooves" work is still in need of a premiere! Message me for a workshop sound sample or the parts.

Gratz Addie!!
Colourful promotional art for the upcoming video game Shape of Dreams. The image features three of the playable characters.
The Shape of Dreams demo is killer! It uses MOBA controls, and this rogue-like has similarities to Hades and Path of Exile, but I'm finding myself enjoying it even more. The large and satisfying demo has me ready for the full game release on Sept 11!

It's one of my all time faves.

New ink day! Or, more accurately, a reunion with a favorite.
Sailor yamadori. It's the real teal.

I did a #PubChat thread over on the other site, so repeating it here:
Picture of a black Lamy 2000 fountain pen with writing sample. Writing sample uses Iroshizuku kon-peki - a bright sky blue ink.
New Pen Day! The Lamy 2000 is back in the collection.
After selling my first one to focus on Japanese pens, buying a Safari reminded me how much I enjoy Lamy. It was time for a reunion.
Currently inked with Iroshizuku Kon-peki.
