[Cry Havoc #48] Welcome to Gloom Break, Wayfinder


Recommended Posts

Welcome to Starlight, wayfinder.

[ARCANE FOCUS]:  A self-improvement junkie with a stylish twist.

  • Follow the schedule.  Plan the day the night prior.  Execute.  ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ 

[DOUBLE DAGGERS or RIFLE?]:  The agile arcanist or tickets to the gun show?

  • 10mins workout daily, attend the gym at minimum (or Gyminum™) on a bad health day.  ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ 
  • Yoga daily.  ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ 

[WAYFINDER PROTOCOL]:  Prepared for any Expedition into the Gloom.

  • 3-4 servings of veggies per day.  ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ 
  • 3-4 servings of protein per day.  ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ 

 

[CHALLENGE INSPIRATION]:  The World of Evenor is shattered.  You must harness the power of a Wayfinder to Control the Chaos that has overrun your world!   So let's try this again, shall we?  Grab your Gloom Dagger (and handy-dandy-dangly weapon charm) for this foray into the Gloom!  We're reordering Chaos, we're on the hunt, we're searching for powerful Precursor artifacts, we're pulling other Wayfinders from the depths of Lost Zones, and we're doing it in that iconic Wayfinder style.  I've been dabbling in this Early Access title on Steam that's proving to be an enjoyable hero-based MMO lite in a plucky, lively neon-modern take on a fantasy RPG with an art style vaguely reminiscent of an old favorite of mine, Wildstar.  It even has a swell playing housing mode in the Starlight Apartments that overlook the same-named town.

 

Also, the soundtrack is absolutely sublime

 

Wayfinders are born of the Gloom, but sworn to push it back to reconnect humanity.  Wielding arcane magic, mystical tech, or cunning weapons, only Wayfinders can slay the invading forces and push back the Gloom.  Customize the way you fight (or workout) by choosing your weapons and gear and augmenting your powers with the echoes of your fallen foes.   Become a Wayfinder, and unlock their powers as you choose your path and playstyle while pushing back a hostile force that has overtaken this world.  Just like in the game, we can Control the Chaos as we directly shape and customize the endless adventures (or workouts?) we go on with friends, because Wayfinders (just like Nerds) are stronger together.  ;) 

 

I will be your Wayfinder, and I'll be keeping things as simple as possible this time around.  So let's get right into it.

Challenge Journal:  This 13th day of September, in the year 2023.

 

Somehow it's like mid September already, and I don't even remember giving my consent for 2023 to f*ck me that hard.

 

Annnnnnnywho, it's no secret I haven't been able to make a challenge stick of late; life is pure Chaos and it hasn't been easy nor pretty, but I'm back again and giving it another go!  This time with much simpler goals, as suggested by my Darling Old Lady.  We actually came up with these goals a couple weeks ago and they've been going half-decently.  Scheduling is massively important, which is a struggle to stay on track with, but it's slowly coming.  @spezzy revamped the Sanctum Parabellum with a much better garage layout and a sweet MDF lifting playform for deadlifting or Olympic lifts. 💪 I've been making sure veg/protein are a staple in each meal I make for us, so that's relatively straight-forward.  And yoga evenings have been helping everyone to unwind without animals stampeding across our faces before bed.

 

So let's see how this one goes, shall we?  ;)

#MomoaMonday back in action, y'all.  Gonna need that Dante energy this time around!

 

Prepare to enter the Gloom:
  • [ARCANE FOCUS]:   ☑☑☐☐☐☐☐  The schedule has been a bit wonky this week, but I am proud to report that I've done a much better job of Controlling the Chaos and making sure we get to the gym/yoga every day so far.
  • [DOUBLE DAGGERS or RIFLE?]:   ☐☐☐☐☐ ☑☑☐☐☐☐☐  One gym workout successful, two evening yoga sessions completed.
  • [WAYFINDER PROTOCOL]  ☑☑☐☐☐☐☐  No problem with 3 protein/veggie servings so far, yesterday had 4 servings of protein easily.
