Sitting on my carport's stoop drinking warm floral herbal tea and watching the clouds float by while Joe Hisaishi's "One Summer's Day" plays on my phone just loud enough so that it doesn't drowned out the birds. It was peaceful, till my youngest two came out here to splash barefoot in the puddles.

Across from the viewer in the bottom left corner is a white house with a blue roof. On the right-hand side stands a red brick wall and chimney. But in-between the space is shades of green foliage that rises up to a sloped tree-covered mountain ridge. The lighting is gloomy due to light rainfall, and white wisps of cloud steadily move along the mountainside. Birdsong fills the air, and pairs nicely with the soft pitter-patter of rain dropping against mud and vinyl materials. The air is humid but not miserably so, and warm enough for summer clothing.

That one desire turned into 240,710 words stringing together all the main quests in Western Skyrim, Rivenspire, and the Reach plus some side quests into an actual three-act story. So no matter what happens to ESO, the characters, stories, locations and game mechanics the team built will live on.

A tall elf with long white hair, clouded eyes, and pale skin stands tall with his hands clasped behind his back as his head tilts toward the shorter, just as pale female elf at his side. Her brown hair is cut short at a sharp angle, and in the low light of the stone buildings behind them you can just make out her red eyes as she looks off into the distance.
It is here, deep below the earth, a forever altered Verandis Ravenwatch bestows upon the young vampire his House's name. Ezhara has proven herself more than capable of carrying on his legacy and upholding his family's unique way of life.

Me, sitting in my chair reading election updates and reactions while drinking my coffee.

A gray-heaired woman sits in a chair across from a brightly lit window. The text at the bottom reads, "That's what a reckoning sounds like".
(The scene is from season one of the Disney+ Star Wars show "Andor." Context: Marva Andor's home has been invaded by corporate police as they search the streets for her son. Outside locals are clanging makeshift warning bells to alert others to shelter indoors. The cop watching over Marva is unnerved by the sound of community solidarity. Marva's response is to point out that they are growing tired of living under the rules of a corporate police-state and one day change will come.)

I did it. I finally did it. I finally managed to build a character that could take on and complete all of Vatashran Hallows in #ESO, and it only took me seven years of build tinkering and the devs making werewolf a viable option. Thanks @elderscrollsonline.com dev teams!

My kid wanted pancakes for lunch. I got carried away. #food #art

A "snowman" made out of pancake with blueberry eyes and buttons, red sugar crystal hat and gloves, a cinnamon smile, a marshmallow nose, and a bacon scarf and broom.

Just my cat watching me play Elder Scrolls Online as a Khajiit, waiting for me to resume sitting next to him. #sillypets #cats #ESO #xbox

Heck yeah! Pink Poncho for the win!

A picture of me from 2024 wearing Cal Kestis' famous pink poncho from the Star Wars Jedi games. His Scrappers Guild tattoo can also be seen freshly inked on my right forearm as I high-five the LEGO model of his droid friend BD-1.

Fired up the #xbox and was greeted by this beautiful thumbnail for the #MayTheFourth #StarWars games sale. 🥹 It was so nice to see Merrin, Kay, Nix, ND-5, and Iden Versio included, and featured both the Mantis and the Trailblazer. Also cool to see the main leads from the two upcoming games as well!

Thumbnail art for the Star Wars May The 4th Be With You game sale on Xbox. Characters from the likes of LEGO Star Wars, Knights of the Old Republic, Battlefront II, Star Wars Jedi, and Star Wars Outlaws, plus the two new upcoming games Galactic Racer and Zero Company.

Without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?

From the video games Jedi: Fallen Order, main character Cal Kestis looks down at his droid companion BD-1. Across Cal the white text reads "do you see thing shit bd?". In response the text over the droid reads, "I see this shit cal"

Come on, #Virginia! Make it count!

In the foreground is an "I Voted in Botetourt County" sticker. In the background is a sign saying "Vote YES by April 21st to stop the MAGA power grab." This is a vote to temporarily change the congressional districts in order to have more Democratic representatives until 2030 to counteract Republican controled states gerrymandering their districts in the hopes of surpressing Blue votes. So far the results in Virgina have been neck and neck.

#Collie #Dog pics for the timeline.

Timeline cleanse! Here, have Nix enjoying a holo father race. #StarWarsOutlaws

I've never gotten an Inkstone book before. It's lovely! I need all books to have a protective sleeve cover. #StarWarsOutlaws #LowRedMoon

On the front of the hardback Inkstone copy is a golden depiction of the galaxy's sexiest droid, ND-5.

The Inkstone version (left) has spray painted edges of a masked Pyke, Jabba the Hutt, and Qi'ra.

On the left is the Inkstone version stating it this is one out of 750 copies. It also has the author's signature and the "Based on" text has it's own page. The publisher is also listed as Del Rey on the Inkstone copy rather than Random House Worlds like on the standard.

The cover for the game prequel novel, "Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon," written by Mike Chen. On the right is the standard hardback. On the left is the limited edition version with a clear protective sleeve cover.

Dreamed I was standing on a rocky beach watching icebergs float by when I heared a meow that sounded like "hello". Out of nowhere my cat Taos appears and comes trotting toward me. I pick him up and start crying and tell him how happy I am I found him. Then I woke up. He's been gone for 3 years.

My Havana Brown cat Taos sitting with me in my van back in the summer of 2022. He was 13 at the time.

My [romance] dream team together again to kick ass, take names, and save the galaxy. #MassEffect #LiaraTsoni #CommanderShepard #GarrusVakarian #DarkHorseFigures

From left to right - Liara T'soni, Commander Jane Shepard, and Garrus Vakarian from the Mass Effect trilogy.

And Mike, seeing as you're a Mass Effect fan, if Lucasfilm or Random House Worlds ever asks you to write a Kay,Nix, & ND-5 novel in the future, I'm gonna request you find a way to squeeze in a calibrations joke. I would be forever grateful.

ND-5 telling Kay Vess, "You know, I do spend a lot of time calibrating the ship's systems on my own." -Star Wars Outlaws : A Pirate's Fortune dlc.

Danie Kelley🦋@87zoolemons· Feb 7

Done. And I can't recommend it enough. It's a great stand alone story, but there were several moments in the book that just enhanced the emotional beats of #StarWarsOutlaws for me. @mikechenwriter.bsky.social did a wonderful job writing both a fun adventure and further fleshing out ND-5.

Let's do this. Sivako!

Thanks to Massive Entertainment's recent 3rd Person update I was finally able to finish #AvatarFrontiersOfPandora. Now to start on the dlcs.

I felt compelled to make #art with my cat's breakfast.

The contents of a 3oz can of Blue Buffalo wet pate cat food, perfectly extracted via suction to the dish, topped with two Cosaquin join chews - arranged in such a way that makes them look like the spots in a Yin-Yang symbol due to the strange curve imprinted by the can itself.

Star Wars Outlaws: Low Red Moon releases in 26 days. Which means I have to some how read 1,076 pages worth of Mass Effect Andromeda lore in that time frame. No pressure or anything 🫣. (Though if I manage to pull this off then little kid me who hated to read will be very impressed!)

From right to left are the Tie-in lore novels for Bioware's 2017 game Mass Effect Andromeda. First in the series is "Nexus Uprising" by Jason M Hough & K.C. Alexander (the cover is of a woman wearing a space suit with a spaceship in the background). The second in the series is "Initiation" by N.K. Jemisin & Mac Walters (the cover has one of the game's companions, Cora, on the front with the spaceship she's on in the background). The third in the series is "Annihilation" by Catherynne M Valente (the cover shows a damaged spaceship orbiting a world on fire).

Not gonna lie. My Sara Ryder is adorable. #MassEffectAndromeda

Well, that's enough doom scrolling for today. Time to read something more hopeful and inspiring.

Halo Edge Of Dawn, written by bestselling author Kelly Gay, is the immediate continuation of the game Halo Infinite's campaign storyline. (The cover image shows Spartan John 117 in his signature Mjolir power armor with his new Smart AI companion "Joyeuse" projecting herself in front of him.)

#StarWarsOutlaws has been my biggest emotional rock this year. Playing it. Writing about it. Receiving fanart of this pairing based off my writings. Painting a portrait of ND-5 and of Kay and Nix speeding across Toshara's landscape. Inspiring me to cook Star Wars themed recipes. It means everything

A smuggler by the name Kay Vess leans against her workbench to examine a small device her trench coat wearing BX Commando droid companion, ND-5, has found.
The caption says, "Kay: I thought Sliro owned the Trailblazer?"

First snow of the season. It's rare for us to get snow in December now. It's kinda nice.

I haven't stopped listening to this album since it dropped.

Cover art for The Black Key's 2025 album "No Rain, No Flowers." In the top left corner the band's name is displayed in bold black lettering, while the album's title is stylized to look like a "flash"-style tattoo of a red & green rose wrapped with ribbon on the chest of a man smoking a cigarette in a black and white photo.

The three birds remind me of Tris from the book Divergent. They were my very first tattoo. The other is my favorite Pokémon, Vulpix.

The five faction symbols, as seen in the film Divergent.

Happy birthday! My sheltie/corgi mix, Misty. My DSH, Dmitri. And my Rough Collie, Drover.
