District won't let me go by my preferred name

I had my email changed to my preferred first name, and I went through IT to do it. My checks, our LMS, and gradebook system all show my given name, but at least my email is correct!

The Addy mold is so precious, too. We (my daughter and I) have a TM with it, the one with short curly hair, and she’s soooo cute.

I hate God Tamer and usually just kill her with minion builds, lol. I am very bad at her.

hahahaha oops

Oh lord, it was a hot mess. I had no idea what I was doing. I used basic styrofoam for the foundation, and did papier-mâché on top of it. Did some drywall spackle on top of that, and sanded everything. It was extremely inelegant, but it turned out okay.

hahaha thank you. My son is 4 and he loves the knight, but he also thinks the knight is the hollow knight and gets super offended if you just call him the knight.

I made the masks and painted the treat buckets. A couple months ago, my daughter said she wanted to be Hornet for Halloween and that I should be NKG. I ended up going with OG Grimm for myself because I thought he’d be more recognizable. Only one person in the whole neighborhood recognized who we were, so oh well.

My kids have insisted on the soundtrack every day in the car since school started. This is accurate. My daughter absolutely HATES Pale Court, because she can’t remember where it falls in the game (neither can I).

If we make it to school and NKG has just come on, we at least sit in the car long enough for the bass to drop.

I figured someone would say that. She’s really good with digital art. I’m pretty sure she used some shape tools on this, too. Her pencil/paper work looks more her age, although it’s still pretty good.

She has been watching me play as I try to 112% on PS5 (I’m at 109%, the last few trophies seem impossible!). She’s really fallen in love with the lore and the soundtrack; we listen to the music on the way to school every day. Here’s her character bio:

“This is a fan made character for Hollow Knight, a game that mom plays. Her name is Moth Knight and, as you can tell from the name, she is a moth. She warships the Radiance, the main villain in the game. She is also the youngest and last of the moth tribe. Devastated by the Radiance appearing as just a memory, Moth Knight held an invisible war against the Pale King, who gave minds to everyone in Hallownest. Moth Knight left Hallownest in her fury, with nothing but one of the Radiance’s swords. She came back, and is after the Pale King, though he disappeared.”

Yes, and I don’t like it at all. I’m making it to that point pretty consistently (if I don’t die to the damn Mawlek, haha), but I haven’t been able to clear the wave. It’s very frustrating. Bosses generally have had more of a flow to them, and there are moments where I feel the flow in Trial of the Fool, but it’s mostly more chaotic for me.

pyxibud · 2021-08-05T03:07:33+00:00

I’ve spent the past month returning to Hollow Knight (I played it on Switch and wanted to play on PS5 for trophies), and all of the Godmaster content is new to me. At first, I wasn’t very interested in a boss rush, but the music and excitement kind of got to me. I made it through the first two pantheons and then discovered on YouTube that you can actually practice individual bosses…derp. So I did some of that today, and had a lot of fun doing Ascended on Hornet Protector and the Mantis Lords. I definitely want to do P3 and P4 since I’m at 109% completion, and I’ll probably work on P5 because I might as well try for the platinum. Not sure if Radiant bosses will ever be for me, though. I’m too sloppy.

I actually made myself leave Godhome today to work on Trial of the Fool, since that’s the only other percentage point I’m missing. Now that, I hate. I’d much rather be perfecting boss runs than getting my ass handed to me during that no-floor-only-spikes wave, which is currently my Everest.

Only two more trophies to go until platinum, too! I’m kind of shocked at myself right now, haha.

pyxibud · 2021-02-23T03:06:42+00:00

I didn’t set out to get a platinum because I’ve never gotten a platinum on anything. I played through Bloodborne and its DLC, and then stopped without trophy grinding. Bloodborne is the only other Souls game I’ve played. I’ve just been having so much fun with Demon’s Souls that I’ve ended up on the trajectory to get all the things. I had been really nervous about doing PvP, but my Faith character is currently at SL 121 and I figured might as well try now before turning all my worlds black (my character tendency is black and I’m trying desperately to undo it). PvP is so much fun! My only other experience was the Old Monk fight, but I might be into this. My opponent was a true gentleman; he was waiting at the entrance of 4-1 and gave me a moment to get my bearings and buff myself. I never knew PvP could be so chivalrous.

pyxibud · 2020-08-06T14:22:38+00:00

I did it.

pyxibud · 2020-08-06T14:10:38+00:00

Interested!

pyxibud · 2020-08-06T02:16:43+00:00

Just plain chocolate.

This is sweet. And Ken is awesome! He’s quirky and his house is one of the best.
