Chiasmic LinkI’d love to be able to play a game for litrpgs I’ve enjoyed like arcane ascension (sufficiently advanced magic) or dungeon crawler Carl. Maybe they will be made one day!I’d love to be able to play a game for litrpgs I’ve enjoyed like arcane ascension (sufficiently advanced magic) or dungeon crawler Carl.

The particular problem with this type of community is it’s hard to know which ones are active because by their nature they are hidden. I do wonder if this is the future though, what with bots crawling the internet at large.

I’m would think it’s a rhetoric device, but it seems a little foolish and opens them up to legal issues if someone decides to take it literally!

Yeah, I forgot about this because life was hard and busy. I also forgot about my garden apart from a manic watering every other day. Surprisingly survived well, and did well enough for my toddler to be able to enjoy raspberries and peas from things. The tomato plants are doing well too, as are the sunflowers. Carrots did not do well, very stunted, and the beets seem to have some sort of disease as they are not flourishing at all. We had a hot dry spell in the UK and it was interesting how much worse the plants in boxes did than those in the actual ground (it makes sense, but it was such a stark difference!).
