Home, finishing a video, taking notes for the next one and drawing some custom graphics for my game. Pretty productive, actually.

I see.

Yesterday I didn't do much. But I have started downloading FF7R given it's one of my back burner games I've been meaning to play.

Taking ages though, I had to stop mid-way for bed.

I may not be much of a gamer these years, but I've put on FF7 long enough.

So I played through Chapter 1 of FF7R, I noticed the audio gets slow and grinds in some places.

Either global warming or axis shift.

For example, A Christmas Carol popularised the idea of a "white christmas" when in truth the book was written during the little ice age where most of the world was going through global cooling at the time.

At the end of the little ice age.

We've already left the medieval warm period in the dust by now.

True, but just saying A Christmas Carol set the high standards of a white Christmas.

I never ha da white Christmas before. Close I ever got to one was a white Boxing Day.

You know how Baba Yaga is a famous witch from slavic folklore?

I wonder if there is a similar character to her in African folklore...

There's plenty of witches and evil spirits in African folklore.
I can't pinpoint a specific name though.

I've been thinking of "recycling" my ponysona Epic Mount into an original fantasy character. Thorn, a barbarian who lives in a forest and weilds an axe.

While he lives alone, he had a "Zecora" of his own to look after him. Instead of making someone up, I was thinking a witch like Baba Yaga, but African.

There's only two options, just keep washing the dishes myself in the sink - which would be cheaper and not even that much of a hassle.

Or buy a new one; but I'd have to also get a new extra power outlet installed to even hook it up.
