“Melancholy is the illustrious companion of beauty. So much that I cannot conceive of any beauty that does not carry with it sadness.”
- Charles Baudelaire.

I was mistaken! (Sorry!) it’s a Crusader Kings mod called Princes of Darkness. My bad - sorry! www.princesofdarknessmod.com/wiki/index.p...

Not joking. Let me see if I can find some details.

I believe there is an Age of Empires 2 mod that does this.

IchorandInk - Twitch Vampire the Masquerade; Nightrunners Duplicate Dystopia - Adaptation

We are live with our Season Finale of Duplicate Dystopia! Will our four Kindred make it out alive? Or are there darker things lurking in the night.

to taste again the weakness of mortal heartbeat.
- “Dark Memento” by Segovia Amil.

With all that I know,
and all the seriousness I have collected,
still, there are parts of me which beg
to be pulled into the mouth of sorrow,
to sleep inside the hole of her insecurity, to be
d r a g g e d out the other side — for just a glimpse,
an understanding . . .

Time to share another piece from my collection.

Vampire the Masquerade Nightrunners; Duplicate Dystopia Disassociation E2/3 YouTube video by Ichor and Ink

Couldn’t catch the live BD? Well for the low low price of absolutely no eddies we got you covered! Vampire the Masquerade Duplicate Dystopia episode two is now on YouTube!

youtu.be/bK5rI7AEFYY?...

Life conspired against me and stopped me from delivering it any sooner, but it is done and shared with the DMs who will be running this game… imma go to sleep now.

Apparently Calatheas have a reputation for being challenging, so seeing this made me so happy today.

For the Bahari out there following my gardening, the lesson from this one is “patience and sometimes the best thing we can do to allow something (or someone) to heal is to leave them alone.”

It might be difficult to see but my very persnickety Calathea roseopicta “Rosey” is finally on the mend! Rescued from the discount shelf at a Bunnings, we had some initial teething troubles that resulted in the burnt leaves you see here. But she has 3 new leaves!!!

Some examples inclusions of poems and prophecies talk of Gehenna and the Final Nights.

The collection as we know it today was assembled by Aristotle deLaurent, Beckett, and others and distributed by Ayisha Jocastatian. It’s a prime example of an in-world artefact and supplement made manifest.

…this edition of the Book of Nod is perhaps one of the finest examples of premium deluxe collector’s edition items for Vampire the Masquerade.

The Book of Nod is a collection of notated oral histories, text fragments and other media, detailing the history of Caine and his Childer.

Cool item from my VtM collection time!
This is the Artefact edition of the Book of Nod. Released in 2023, this was an epic addition to the collection. Filled to the brim with all manner of interesting inclusions such as the vampire skull, tablet, statuettes and manuscripts…

You can find me under the same name I have here! 💜

I would love to help if I can!

They’re working to document:
• how misogyny shows up across different spaces
• how moderation decisions get made (especially in messy, ambiguous moments)
• emotional and relational labour involved
• what’s working, what’s not, and where gaps are (how this all intersects with policy, platforms, etc).

It's quick and confidential, and they’re looking to hear from Australian community professionals AND volunteer community mods and admins.

Australian Community Managers (ACM) is currently leading a research project for Digital Rights Watch about how online misogyny is experienced and managed by community and social media managers, moderators and admins (both paid and volunteer).

And I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.”
- Khalil Gibran.

I’m kicking myself for not getting the Saturn rocket when I could 😭

Also I wish to subscribe to this newsletter, either as just a reader or as a player in this chronicle because I love the unhinged stories.

I kinda love the idea of members of the Hecata begrudgingly getting along with the Thinbloods because they “make really weird shit.” And the Thinbloods are just like “hey, if they keep buying our stuff we’ll keep liking them.”

Need to wait to take some better photos, but here is the Artemis (Lego 42221) in all her glory… and now with the Women of NASA (Lego 21312) and the rocket from the Space Shuttle Adventure 3-in-1 set (Lego 31117). I wonder if the Milky Way (Lego 31212) would fit behind these? 🤔

Seems like a good weekend to break out this set for construction.

Booooooooo…

I don’t mind my spot at all. As far as suburbia near a rail line goes, it’s pretty chill and quiet.
