Talk about AI, how about another world...
Hello! Another beautiful day in paradise aka San Diego. I came back from Portland. Very nice city and, if I were a soldier, that's where I would want to be stationed. Here is the brief account of my visit.

Managed to get out 4 new miniatures despite going on vacation and my computer crashing:
I have decided to step into the world of Video Gaming as a player. My new computer can keep up, My son has encouraged me, and there is a beautiful open world for adults called Wicked Island. It can be found on Steam. That said, I am a having a terrible time remembering what buttons to push. It is taking me hours learning, forgetting, relearning, looking on line for how to's and finding half answers. I am thinking of this as my childhood phase. Fortunately, Wicked Wizards has a starting place to learn in and be relatively safe.
I love running into the ocean, can swim for miles and to islands barely visible. Swimming is also a great way to escape monsters (they are salacious and murderous). The world is large as is the ocean. After this I will try some other normal games that Rikki recommends. Meanwhile I have spent a lot of time swimming, running, and harvesting things to make other things. My character Runner is a meat eater and swimmer. My other character Fom is vegetarian (already the deer hang around her) and interested in building relationships with monsters. In the picture below Runner closed her eyes at the last second, just like real life.
Runner and Fom (both are me) along with the non player character Baelin on his pier fishing at sunrise. Baelin gives quests. The first quest is to get some clothing on.
Don't forget! Please drop in for OMA's Virtual Online Art Review. I am hosting it. You will love the conversations. You can even show one of your pieces!
Love and Hugs, and, if you would like some art, now is a good time to tell me!
