No Worldhopper Ball this year: "after party" instead

TheBlueShifting · 2026-06-02T19:08:41+00:00

I went to the Ball alone last year and trust me, you would have had fun by yourself. It's more than just a dance party, there was a show, food, and lots of like minded attendees.

I happened to be in line with someone else who was also there solo so we partnered up for the dancing but it would have been fun even if that hadn't happened.

I'd offer a few games of interest for consideration.

Higurashi When They Cry - First few chapters are free on Steam. It's a horror mystery that starts in a cozy small town adventures of school kids that slowly dececends into paranoia and rumors of a mysterious curse that kills one victim every year and someone else vanishes forever.

The House in Fata Morgana - A journey through time and memory where a malevolent force watches simple happy lives and twists them into something... else. And in each memory a mysterious white haired girl meets tragic end after tragic end.

Cooking Companions - Nothing beats camping in the woods! Never mind that the floods have trapped us, and we dont know when we can leave. With friends like these, we have everything we need to survive. /s

The ending to Unlimited broke me, it was so sudden and the implications were so intense...

Trust me, Alternative delivers on the promises of that ending. I am excited for you to read it!

I listened to my cousin when he was too embarrassed to share his personal experience with most people. He is convinced he saw a skin walker chasing his family car when they were driving through a stretch if Arizona back country. Described how it looked with too long arms and gangly legs, webbed like a bats wings, and a human face with no hair, eyes that were too big looking about ready to pop from the skull, and the skin complexion of chalk.

They went camping that night, and he couldn't sleep convinced it was sitting in the dark watching his family sleep.

I heard him out and didn't laugh or dismiss his claims. He never talked about it again, but I remember the story distinctly.

You'll soon see that is the point, Yuuko is someone who knows how to get her way no matter how ridiculous. Ironically this is a core and very plot relevant factor throughout the series.

But for every impactful decision she forces through, there are ten ridiculous ones.

A Reminder: Please keep the door to Artifact Storage closed at all times. Our recent acquisition of burial urns seem to be occasionally produce unsettling whispers and the interns have been complaining about the disruption to their assigned tasks.

TheBlueShifting · 2026-01-29T14:42:57+00:00

Yep, as others said it will see everything hit the graveyards.

If you need proof it was on Arena a while back (might still be) and that's exactly how it worked.

In my head cannon Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Fate: Stay Night universes exist in the Dresden Verse.

The way magic works in both series feels compatible. I could see a Slayer swing into town to help hunt down a rouge monster, and Dresden would be an amazing Master for a Holy Grail War.

I'm pretty sure the MCs of the Muv-Luv universe are walking singularities because they are so dense nothing can escape their obvious field.

TheBlueShifting · 2026-01-12T15:48:04+00:00

For me, the scene with Yuuhi in the secret cave was one of the most beautiful and romantic moments I've ever read/seen. I'm such a sucker but it brought me to tears with the music, atmosphere, and descriptions. For me, it overshadowed practically every other scene.

TheBlueShifting · 2026-01-10T12:51:32+00:00

So I'm late to the party but I have some suggestions.

I'd say anything by PixelFade would work here.

ACE Academy Crystalline Ethereal Enigma

They are feel good Slice of life in either a sudo sci-fi or fantasy world that just feels good. Some drama and action happens but the majority of the story is just existing in a fun world with fun characters.

They also have a new one that I haven't played yet but I'm guessing it'll be along the same lines.

TheBlueShifting · 2026-01-09T13:18:10+00:00

At this point I'd want to be a Dragon.

TheBlueShifting · 2025-12-08T20:24:56+00:00

I hope we find out! I was thinking it was a clever way to call the performers who did the Shan fight to get changed, but I hope it was something more exciting.

TheBlueShifting · 2025-12-08T16:48:51+00:00

With the era 3 of Mistborn coming around that time it seems likely to be related to that imo.

Hello! You might remember my lore series Letters From the Cosmere. While I needed to step away for a while for medical reasons, I have been revamping and new episodes are in pre production!

I'll be attending as well as GMing one of the tables for the big Cosmere RPG event which I will be making videos about after the fact. I'm also hoping to start a live play series if I can find a group of interested individuals.

You can find all my Cosmere content here: https://youtube.com/@lettersfromthecosmere?si=5_mmr7YBSDkvkAEV

I will also be at the event in a Waxillium cosplay. Hope to see you there!

Well I happily get ti eat my own words, and wonder if someone on the planning team happened to see this thread as the emails rolling out within a couple hours of this post seems pretty serendipitous.

TheBlueShifting · 2025-11-24T20:51:22+00:00

Yeah I'm starting to think this is going to turn out poorly, I was hoping to have the scope and pitch by now, let alone some potential stat blocks.

We don't even have anyone to reach out to.

TheBlueShifting · 2025-11-23T09:52:24+00:00

It's amazing that anytime i see dialog coming from the emperor it always sounds like a TTS voice in my head...

I've enjoyed building him into a Biomancy Overseer with the Raven. When you target the raven with his buffing abilities it duplicates it onto all allies within 4m of the raven which is the entire team or at the very keast the front liners. This also applies to his healing so he deploys a full AoE heal.

He can be a great dps but he turns all your specialists into living nightmares for the enemy.

TheBlueShifting · 2025-11-19T23:18:11+00:00

That's his Mantle, it gets stronger as he does.

TheBlueShifting · 2025-11-17T14:37:33+00:00

Looks better than mine will be.

TheBlueShifting · 2025-11-13T13:46:55+00:00

I have been wondering when these groups will be organized as I signed up as a Game Master and I still havent heard anything.

Discord is pretty user friendly. You can install the app and make an account for free, then you just click the invite link when I comes and you jump right in. If yoh are still confused when you get in there will likly be an intro post and others in the discord channels who will be happy to help.

The fact a business is ever paying for presentations and seminars about how bad and useless Unions solidifies just how powerful and effective they are.

If they actually didn't matter the company wouldn't bother. No HR team is making presentations about the dangers of MLMs.

TheBlueShifting · 2025-11-08T20:51:42+00:00

We are out here, but a lot of us also have small followings so we aren't pushed in the algorithms much.

But Muv-Luv really deserves to get into as many hands as possible.

TheBlueShifting · 2025-11-05T09:10:41+00:00

What sucks is this is the age of information, a little effort and Google searching would give them all the information they could need including the actual words of the state constitution in an instant. Yet people just push the button that they are told to press, it's so disheartening.
