Announcing the Tea and Sidequests channel!

A sword, a teapot, several cups of tea, a couple of bound books, a handful of polyhedral dice, some small shells, and an antique key lie scattered over a map of Skyrim.

My husband and I have created a joint Twitch channel! You can find it here!

We’re going to be streaming Monday and Saturday evenings, starting next week, from 6 to 8 in the evening (US Central time).

I’m very excited to start sharing some of our favorite games with you. In this time of isolation, I’m also looking forward to chatting with old and new friends. I hope you can stop by sometime!

If you miss a stream, we’re going to be uploading them to YouTube here. I’ve also updated the social icons at the bottom of the blog to these new sites.

Happy New Year!

Encouraging Words in the Depression Dungeon

The allegory will persist until morale improves.

If you’re wondering what I get up to on Twitch, this is a half-hour clip from my stream a couple months ago, featuring my husband in the background and a friend on the chat. I’m playing Enderal: Forgotten Stories, the total conversion mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim developed by SureAI.

Here, our protagonist navigates an allegorical dream-vision with a very pessimistic man. Some spoilers for the main plot quest called “Part of Something Momentous, Part II.”
