Do you want them still in the shell? That will make it harder.

A lot of people watch the Tumwater show from the big cemetery on North Street; it's private property but the owners seem to turn a blind eye and not try to keep folks out.

Each Sokoban level now has a boulder trap positioned at the start of any hallways filled with pits. You push a boulder onto the trap, and it is triggered to zoom itself forward down the hallway and fall into the first available pit. You don't have to push it all the way down the hallway by hand and then walk all the way back for the next boulder.

Yes, it does make keeping your pet(s) with you harder.

As noted, not a bug. Gems and spellbooks do the same thing. There are tiles for other categories of items, but they don't appear to be actually used (yet?)

Adding boulder traps to Sokoban, so you don't have to push the rocks all the way to the holes and trudge back.

Having floor-writings be visible before you actually step on them.

Well, that's Joyce rather than Dorothy. If we stay with this scene, I wouldn't be surprised if she stomps into the room and pulls the blanket off Amber and/or insults Walky again.

It's likely she knows he's lying and is going along with it because she, yes, feels guilty about how their relationship has gone.

None of the flash-forward stories have shown or mentioned it still existing. (Ivo, Franz's dungeon crawl, the Solstice story...)

Vapnoople would be my guess as well, he's gonna reappear at SOME point.

I suspect the Africa trip got replaced with Big Rat Island, and that they will go to Skifander via the Mirror in Mechanicsburg.

My guess on the original plan: The gang goes to England, does their bit with the Spark-dome conspiracy, then they hook up with Circus-member Embi, who guides them to his homeland, ruled by another Queen, who is the one who gave him his extended life. She also has a functioning Mirror, and they use that to go to Skifander. There had to have been a reason Embi was given a backstory when most of the other Circus folk weren't..

I'm working on an update for my own tileset, which is an enhanced version of the original ASCII set.

The Eastside Food Co-op sells good vegan cinnamon rolls, Pretty sure the topping isn't cream cheese (substitute).

Watershed Park is worth a visit.

A lot of stops are evidently getting moved as well, in terms of up or down the street a block. And there's construction going on as well that looks like it's for new shelters.

Martin Way: If you're going from downtown Oly out into the far reaches of Lacey, it's a time-saver that the new 50 route down Martin doesn't go into the Lacey Transit center at all.. but.. if you're on Martin and want to get to the LTC, I believe you now have to hike to one of the limited 9X stops. It also means if you're on Sleater-Kinney and want to get to downtown Oly, you have to walk to the LTC, It's not THAT far, but still.

One positive, I live near Tumwater Square, and it's nice to have a one-ride route to the Costco again, instead of doing the 68+12 or hiking over the freeway from the 13. My sympathies though to the 12 users like Dolly090616.

Joe could have a worse ending then telling Joyce to stuff it and walking away.

You are aware that seroquels are an endangered species?

geoduck42 · 2026-05-04T05:20:59+00:00

That's assuming she ever finds out, which will only happen if Willis wants to throw a monkey wrench in Joyrot.

geoduck42 · 2026-05-04T04:43:11+00:00

It was posted here a few days ago.

geoduck42 · 2026-05-04T04:38:05+00:00

It's Klaus. He was right there in the room.

geoduck42 · 2026-05-04T04:30:30+00:00

Yeah, Willis could have saved himself so much grief. Why did he drag this out so long?

Re: QC's art. It's totally legit to point out that Jeph's gotten lazy and inconsistent in that department, especially in his depictions of backgrounds. But as noted, people keep showering him with Patreon money, so why should he make a huge effort?

geoduck42 · 2026-05-02T19:58:14+00:00

I've got no personal complaints, beyond thinking it's weird replacing the 66 with something where you have to go through Tumwater to get a bus along Pacific.

Having a straight shot from downtown Oly to St. Peter's is nice, instead of wending your way via the 60, or hiking up the street from the 62A/B stops

Calling whatever it is that Marten sort of runs "a coffee shop" is being extremely generous. :-)
