She can't make it up onto the bed any more so I have been sleeping on a foam pad on the floor for the last week to be close, and the only thing that hurts more than my back right now is my heart. 💔15 Sep 2026 18:20 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvlahuxstc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3mvehu4udjc2aI'm already in a guild in #EQLegends, but gotta admit these sound like a fun bunch 🤔🤣13 Sep 2026 01:44 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvehu4udjc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3mv7nfmooz22jIn retrospect, maybe going to fight the Muglwump as a froglok seems slightly wrong? But, it did attack first. And did not say "mama?" when it saw me. Also, it tried to eat the high elf first, which is clearly a sign of common sense. 😁@druidsfire.bsky.social #EverQuestLegends11 Sep 2026 03:40 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv7nfmooz22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3mv7mwkgezk2j#TFW you are a froglok (a natural master of swimming skill), but need to get a high elf (who's only encountered water by accidently falling into fountains) across the Toxxulia Forest river. Steal a boat!! Shame I wasn't playing my bard at the time, for the full gondolier vibe. #EverQuestLegends11 Sep 2026 03:31 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mv7mwkgezk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3mv63h5gkak2xNow seems apropos to mention I am eagerly awaiting my new Pebble Round smartwatch - repebble.com - and its up-to-weeks of battery life.

She is 20 years old now and sadly losing a lot of weight and not doing well recently, but I’ve been her human for the last 19 years and I’m trying to keep her as happy and comfortable as possible while she’s still with me. 💔 #CatsOfBluesky05 Sep 2026 16:29 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3murvl22a2s2whttps://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3muozo3b3q222Can confirm it is an excellent book (and sapient pillbug, though I had to explain to my English aunt that pillbug = woodlouse)😃 [contains quote post or other embedded content]04 Sep 2026 13:04 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3muozo3b3q222https://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3mtqvldhpo22hEnjoyed this quote 😄 "Canadians are like hobbits.

Yes. Have I had that tune stuck in my head on endless loop for the 5+ hours since then? Also yes. 😓 #SpiritCrossing #GameDevProblems20 Aug 2026 00:32 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mthyol5x422vhttps://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3mt2erotuj22vHad the true OG EQ experience in #EQLegends last night. Had run a newbie froglok from Rathe Mountains to meet a friend in Felwithe. Ended up in Kaladim. Next day, thought "I'll just gate back to Felwithe to buy a thing, then run back to Kaladim". Gated and... back in Rathe!? Had forgot to soulbind.😖14 Aug 2026 14:32 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt2erotuj22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3msubsxrv3s2uIn #SpiritCrossing there are various landmarks that can appear from time to time in our procedurally generated Wilderness map. One of them is graveyard-like. Players started placing their own memorial signs at the stone markers whenever it shows up, and are cozy MMOs supposed to make you weep? 😭😭😭12 Aug 2026 04:23 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3msubsxrv3s2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3msp7n3an4k27#TFW you get a really nice chainmail chest drop too good not to wear, but you're a female dark elf so now you're desperately learning smithing to make some banded iron leggings to go with so you're not running around in your underwear. 😠 #EQLegends10 Aug 2026 04:00 +0000at://did:plc:2tfhdumqx4vit5mgzuwtkf2w/app.bsky.feed.post/3msp7n3an4k27https://bsky.app/profile/pentapod.bsky.social/post/3msld5sqaxk2gHappy #caturday.
