    I would just like to say right now that I hate all clocks and also the British Aristocracy.

    FurtherMore: My brother got to see this guy live when we were both in highschool and he was still rapping. He moved on to other artists names and musical styles but I really wish I could've seen him them.

    Dormer windows lit from withing can also be a good solution to making the roof more spawn-resistant without directly lighting the roof itself.

    I play one RPG at a time, but I will probably also be playing action games with my kids and casual games on my phone during that period.

    If a game doesn't have a good enough setting and writing to keep me interested for at least a couple months, I just don't play it. Life's too short to end up on the wrong side of Sturgeon's Law.

    My current RPG is Enderal, and I've been playing for about six months. I do play shorter RPGs, too, (shout out to Night Stones and Stranded Sails) but I gravitate to ones with more depth and breath.

    I prefer the 3mo-2yr range, me, depending on whether I get to play once or twice in a week.

    I loved all those examples! Living in a higher latitude I do tend to forget about adobe but it's gorgeous even in simple structures.

    Is there a known location for a Pale Garden on the server? I find myself intensely curious about Creakings and Resin Bricks.

    Is there a glow lichen farm yet? If not I'm going to tackle that as my first public farm.

    I had this same problem recently, and I integrated trapdoors over top of froglights as a solution.

    I know a lot of you met The Teen, aka. @Sky_Bubble today, thanks for making it feel welcome. It is probably not going to post on tildes at all but its plan for that big hole it dug in town is a building that will be, as I understand it, halfway between the Gem temple from Steven Universe and the farmhouse from Harvestella, prominently featuring an amethyst spire.

    It loves the little stream scene nearby, and thought all your jokes and stories were hilarious.

    @IsildursBane after you logged off I levelled the road west of storage to @lazerdye's cabin / tunnel entrance. Found another tunnel along the way at the same height, so that worked out I guess. I see the line in the image but I'm going to start with the land south of the road first due to limited time and lower risk of cliff-related YASD.

    Can't put my finger on it, but something about the creator of this thing just makes me think they're a really cool human.

    One house party during my time as a student, we had to stop dancing to this song because the floor joists were visibly wobbling up and down.

    Oof, eleven-hour-plus workday today and it's likely to be similar all weekend. Sorry to leave a half-built house out in the rain until Monday but I'm sure it'll be fine. Probably.

    And the whole family is going on a screen diet starting... yesterday? So you'll be seeing me a lot less in general. I'll console myself by IRL reorganizing my storage bins, putting up oak planks, planting crops, and placing lots of composters at my IRL house instead. I'll sneak on while the scamps are in school, though.

    Edit: Was able to find twenty minutes to throw some blue tarps over the construction site. Should be safe until next week now.

    It's been my policy for decades to use the feminine pronouns by default, as male pronouns are overrepresented in the historical English-language corpus.
