Part 5: This is Illy's Jam

On through summer!

Sunday, Summer Day 16, Year One

It's raining again today. Well, if Illy can get her pickaxe back... It'd be another good go at the mines! So, Illy will leave Robin about the coop for another day.

Illy will have to find Jodi first, though...

Illy checks her crops - the wheat is done, as are more tomatoes and hops.

Illy runs into Penny on the way to the blacksmith's. Apparently Pam really doesn't like squid.

Part 4: Water lot of effort farming is...

Another big one, since I have been playing basically every night and will be for all of today, like as not. Fair cop to it, it IS as addictive and relaxing as folk have said. (And would functionally work as a "I only have an hour to kill" game...)

Another installement approaches...

Yes, I am rather hammering it, aren't I? I'll give Stardew Valley credit, it's holding my attention damn well; I have to admit, it is pretty addictive. I think the sheer variety of stuff to do is ideal for me, since it essentially a bit goal -orientated and I gorck that so hard.

Let's rejoin Illyphase the Erinyes on the farm...

Part 2: Miner Frustration

Sunday, Day 7, Year One

Today, Illy is met with a note from a Wizard, Mr Rasmodius to come and talk to him about the "rat" problem in the community centre. Illy hopes this will involve some sort of fire magic...

Illy waters her plants and heads off to the store to see if she can find Abigail.

On the way, Illy meets Leah in the Pelican Town Community Garden.

Bad news, everyone! As my local Ponythread is so terribly quiet these days that I decided, in addition to soiling my local main forums (Giant in the Playground) with this, I'd also amuse myself with cross-posting this here as well.

You may commense rueing!

You may blame Themaskedferret. As anyone who has passingly interacted with me will know, I like the sound of my own voice and sight of my own typing and it takes very little encouragement for me to talk at length, most especially about myself. Themaskedferret made the fatal error of asking to know more information.

It is a fact that anyone who is in contact with me learns before very long - usually not long after the Lich thing, the starship obession[1] and my literally undying hatred for Vampires[2]. Jubilee is my favourite character in anything ever. She was singularly responsible for getting into not just the X-Men, but superheroes as a genera PERIOD, through medium of the 1990s X-Men animated series. The fact that, in recent years that they took her powers away and turned into a vampire is...

I come this time to the handful of you daft enough to be reading this with a story recommendation.

And That's Terrible.

By InsertAuthorHere. It finally concluded today - I say finally, for despite beign a short story, it has been nearly a year between each chapter.

And it was TOTALLY worth the wait.

The premise is simple. I don't think it can be better stated than by the story's short summary itself:

See, there was even a POINT for those handful of people daft enough to follow me...! I'm more surprised than you, actually...

It's time once again for "the Gallery," as that dear paragon of 1980's children's art, Tony Hart would say...

Before, in this case, gouging out his own eyes.

For the record, one feels one should show one's own scribblings, that, were it not for SlyGuyMcFly coming to the rescue, would have been the cover art for Mourning Sickness (then under the working title of "absent friends.") Using the phrase "art" in it's loosest possible sense...

Feel free to laugh and throw things...!
