I came here to write a quick post and... the blog editor is completely different! Gah! What happened!?! When did this happen? Where did my labels go? Gah!

Okay, breathe Rachel. Just breathe. Okay, I found where to check Relevant Domains. I found my labels, categories, that's what they're called. They're at the bottom now. That's fine. That's fine. Apparently, I now have to check a box to be subscribed to my own posts. That's fine. Hmm, polls and quizzes now have buttons at the top, interesting. Alright, fine, I'll get the hang of this eventually. I just hate change, but you all know that right now. And technology isn't really my forte either. Okay, I'll deal. And stop whining. Well, I'll deal. I might not stop whining right away.

Anyway, I didn't intend for this post to be a commentary on the new blog post editor. So, moving on, I took care of an outstanding Not-a-PIFF this morning after finally giving up on something that I wanted to add. Is it what I wanted to send originally? No. Am I happy that I can finally cross this off my seemingly endless to-do list. YES.

There are more Clues available now, but this is still a nasty beast, no pun intended.
Mike Selinker has certainly designed an epic puzzle hunt. Stage 1 was cryptic and confusing. Stage 2... I think I spy something, but I could just be seeing things at this point 😜.

Then, I went deep, deep, deep down the rabbit hole of Mr. Beast's $1 Million Dollar Puzzle Hunt *sigh*. Which means that Elder Sign is still on the table, Under Falling Skies is still on deck, and my copy of [WIP] SkyHold, an 18 card, solo, skyfaring pirate adventure (2026 In-Hand Game Design Contest)(Components Ready) is very much dry, but still sitting on the floor awaiting assembly. *double sigh* I'm also woefully behind on GCL, FTL, 1PG, and I still need to find a new VGG of the Week! Gah!!!!!!!!! (Send me a Geekmail if you have suggestions! 4 folks have passed and the rest I've thought of have already served!)

At least I'm all caught up on the Mausritter campaign :whistle: We still haven't saved Christmas yet, but at least I'm not holding up progress :geek_grin:.

Art assets... nope, nothing done today. I need to figure out how to draw a better cat. [WIP] Monk's Cat: The Book of [Pawprints] (1p, 25-30 min, adjustable difficulty, in-hand, deck management game)- 2026 In-Hand Game Design Contest entry (Components Ready!) needs one. Pronto. No progress towards opening up my shop on The Game Crafter, LLC either. The Million Dollar Puzzle Rabbit Hole certainly won today.

Still, it's only 10PM. Maybe I can get a few rulebook edits done for [WIP] Monk's Cat: The Book of [Pawprints] (1p, 25-30 min, adjustable difficulty, in-hand, deck management game)- 2026 In-Hand Game Design Contest entry (Components Ready!) before bed :snore:

Also, tomorrow's Friday! Island time 🏝️.

Game Over On borrowed time...

Happy Thursday and happy playing!
