Update on Kickstarter’d Game!

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello!

So, remember a couple days ago when I mentioned that there’s a kickstarter’d game about “pretending to grownup“?

Well, there’s now a YouTube video demonstrating some basic game play! It looks like it’s going to be a totally ridiculous, completely fantastic time.

And there’s still time left to support it. So, check out the video!

And have a lovely day.

GORGEOUS Disney Portraits

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi!

So, I was recently shown an online gallery with gorgeous portraits of animated Disney Characters.

The artist seriously does a spectacular job. Especially with children, from my perspective. So, Lilo (and Stitch), and Elsa & Anna are my two particular favorites. Belle is also pretty excellent. (If you look closely, there’s a subtle Beast in the background.) And actually, so’s Mulan. (It hadn’t really registered how young Mulan probably was (given cultures of the time) until seeing her portraiture interpretation. But I keep coming back to Elsa & Anna. Probably because the artist captures Anna’s childlike wonder and Elsa’s older-sisterness so freakin’ perfectly. GAH!

So, yeah. Enjoy!

And happy Monday!

Fantastic Kickstarter’d Card Game!

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, readers!

I recently found a thing that I’m really amused by. It’s a card game. Aimed at millennials. It’s on Kickstarter.

It’s called “Pretending to Grownup“. (Yes, “Grownup” has been verbed. It’s a thing.)

I found the concept quite fun, and the art super endearing. And besides, what other cardgames offer a “unipegasaurus”, the cross between a unicorn, a pegasus, and a dinosaur?

I’m very much looking forward to it being actually available…

Anyway. Have a lovely Saturday!

Silly mind-game I play with myself and a water pitcher

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi!

So, I’ve recently been noticing a silly little mind-trick I play on myself, and I’m now sharing it.

Background. I have a water-filter-pitcher-thingie. (Camelbak, in case you were curious.) (I especially have it for water for making coffee, but that’s mostly beside the point at the moment.)

This water pitcher filters water fairly quickly. It also has a limit on how much it’s supposed to hold. So, on the back of the pitcher, there are two lines. The top line is about where the cap is supposed to be. The bottom line (about a 1/2 inch below the top) is where you’re supposed to turn the sink off if you’re filling it up from the sink. (It’s a nice, fast filter system with a reservoir in the lid or something like that.)

Recently, for various reasons, I’ve been using a large measuring cup thingy to fill the pitcher. (Alright, it’s because I’m often filling the pitcher at around the same time I’ve got dishes soaking in the sink. What can I say? Timings overlap!) With that said, though, it makes it a bit harder to turn off the sink at the right time. I mean, I still need to stop pouring, which is close to the same thing, but it is slightly different. And here’s how.

I can go really fast with the measuring cup. (Faster than the sink, in fact.)

And this is where the mind-game silliness comes in.

So, you’re supposed to stop the water-flow when the waterline gets up to the lowest bar, right? And that’s fine for the pitcher? Well, I’ve started kinda really speeding up the water-flow when I’m almost to the bottom line. Because as long as I stop by the time I gt there, it won’t overfill, right? Even if I’m technically putting in twice as much water. I stopped at the line, after all!

So, yeah. Fortunately I haven’t broken my pitcher, but I’ve definitely (slightly) overfilled it from this reason…

Mind games. They’re trippy.

Anyway. Have a lovely Thursday!

Facebook Change Annoys Me…

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

So, Facebook is confusing me a bit.

Posting, for some reason, has been updated to have a bit of a pop-out window thingy. But to make matters even more “fun”, it doesn’t always register that because the window is popped out (and everything else is dark), I actually want to write something. So instead, when I press the space bar during those times, it scrolls down the page.

And it’s annoying.

Anyway. That’s the rant for today.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Costco has its Scary Halloween Decorations again

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello!

So, anyway. Recently, I was once more at a CostCo. And once more, they had their absolutely perfectly appropriate, terrifying halloween decorations up that I already wrote about. So, I’m basically sending you to an already existing post because I’m scarily lazy like that. And scary-lazy is Halloween-y and therefore October appropriate, or something, right?

Anyway. Have a lovely day!

Elves may be to blame for Iceland troubles.

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello!

So, September was apparently interesting for somewhere in Iceland. At least, it was interesting enough to blame some disasters on Elves. I’m not even making this up, it’s from a New York Times article.

I hope they have nothing to do with the rainbow conspiracy.

Whatever happens, I hope you stay safe from the elves.

How many more “Pirates” films are they MAKING?!

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

In the category of “trailers”…

Were you aware that there’s a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie that’s coming out next year?

Because there apparently is. And they just released a Teaser Trailer for it.

I guess they’re waiting on showing any footage of Jack until the next trailer or something…?

I’m not sure if I should be concerned or not.

Anyway. Have a lovely day!

Way back when, the 1337est post would have meant something

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Oh my goodness!

I just realized that the post a few days ago, the weather rant, was the 1337th post.

For any of you not aware, this would have been a Big Deal about 7-10 years ago. “1337” was “hackor” speak for “Leet”, which in turn turns into “elite”, or “Big Deal.”

So, yeah. That would have been kindof a big deal. AND I PASSED RIGHT OVER IT. Oh well. Signs that times are changing, right?

Anyway. Have a lovely day!
