Now I kind of want to play a magical girl game where all your attacks are "healing" skills. Did anyone ever do a video game spin off of Nurse Angel Ririka SOS?

@cwebber@octodon.social Yeah, it's a case of, this almost never works but when it does it works really well.

@cwebber@octodon.social I don't think so. For multi-player it'd probably only make sense if you've got undead classes for players to choose.

@cwebber@octodon.social Yet oddly it isn't always. For example, it's definitely the easiest way to go in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (not that I'm holding that up as an example of good game design). The hard part is thinking that it might work and having the courage to unleash your inner magical girl.

@cwebber@octodon.social What does this say about games where you can heal the final boss to death?

Have been showing lots of people my travel photos. These are mainly pictures of dogs and cats that I met/pet. This is my life sidequest: travel the world petting all the fluffy animals.

Plumber thinks he has exactly what's needed to just replace the pipe and will stop in first thing in the morning to look at that. Hopefully we can get that back up and running. It's good to have people with useful skills as customers.

Replacement roaster part arrived but when I tried removing the old one I found something that's beyond what I should be handling myself. After a consult with the manufacturer we both agreed that I should call a gas technician to look at that. They suggested that I refer to it as a "gas fired appliance" since nobody knows what a "coffee roaster" is, but I called the guy who did the gas install on my little roaster (also a regular customer).

It feels like the world is vibrating around me. That can't be good.

Cat likes these pillows.

Looks like trapped chests exist again.

@gnomon It's probably easier to just learn how to use a torch.

@gnomon Is there an optimal toasting time to bread mass? This might warrant investigation.

@gnomon Maybe a load cell? Bagels are heavier.

@gnomon If I increase the setting it burns my bagels.

@gnomon hot bread

Toasters should have one setting. That setting should produce toast.

DST confuses my cat.
