Absolutely predictably, two weeks did indeed pass since I last said I would update. And now I'm going to talk about dragons.

☆ For the past month or so I've gotten really into Flight Rising again thanks to a friend. I don't know if anyone remembers that site, it was really popular back in like, 2013-2014, but it's a virtual pet site involving dragons! You can breed them, dress them up, battle with them, there's games and a forum, etc. I played it a lot back in the early years, took a long break, and now apparently I'm back at it lmao. There's SO many cool new breeds and genes since I last played, I've been burning through all the money I thankfully had hoarded from before buying new stuff. There's been some really nice QoL updates to the site too that makes things easier. I mainly like to collect fun-looking dragons and breed them, but some people get really into writing lore for their dragons or planning breeding projects to get dragons with really specific colors/genes. And the community is great, it's so nice getting random comments from people complimenting your dragons or thanking you for buying one of their babies and stuff.

My lair is here if anyone else plays/wants to add me, or just wants to look at my pretty dragons. Everything in the first two tabs are new buys, the second two tabs are my older dragons from when I played 10 years ago. A few older dragons I've sold off but I've kept most of them for sentimental purposes even if I'm not bothering to breed most of them anymore haha.

☆ Also in the gaming realm, I've gotten really into Hades again too! I'd gotten through one successful escape attempt before I stopped playing, but now I've got several more under my belt and I'm finally getting the plot rolling lmao. It's suuuch a fun game and I love the characters so much, I'm super excited for the sequel too. Hopefully I'll have actually finished this game by the time it comes out lol. I haven't gotten Thanatos or Megaera to love me yet so I've gotta keep playing and win over my beloveds...

I'm so into Hades that I redid the layout for my TCG site to make it a Hades one! It was a stylesheet so I didn't make it from scratch, but I did all the images, colors, fonts, and some other minor adjustments. Originally I tried to pick the colors from Zagreus's palette but it just wasn't looking good to me so I swapped to a Megaera-based color palette and now it's very bright haha. My favorite bit is that the boons on the main page are also randomized on refresh like the sidebar images, and whenever it happens to end up with the matching boon at the same time as the correct Olympian I'm like >:3c
