If anyone's interested, here's a brief summary of my vacation so far (I will be skipping some things due to being lazy and other reasons 
)
the whole fun started when I went to monere-lluvia's place few weeks ago to pick her (and her dad's big car) up. We spent a pretty busy weekend at her place preparing some of the things needed for later and we both went back to my home city. The next week was mostly spent on preparations for the OldTown festival (more on that later). We made weapons and prepared (by that I mean destroyed) clothes to look properly for the occasion.
We went to OldTown on Monday 18th and arrived almost without problems to set up camp for the entire group of mercenaries. For those who don't know, OldTown Festival is a week-long post-apocalyptic event which includes a 72 hours non-stop LARP in a Fallout-inspired setting.
The story for out team was that I was a leader of a small 6-people mercenary tea hired by a wealthy noble (or so he claims) for protection on his very weird mission. Of course this was a part of a much larger scenario since there were over 800 players from many countries and most of our stay here I was busy negotiating deals, setting up alliances and shouting at people. Oh, and Gonedreamer was playing my younger sister
Other than that, there was a lot of drinking and having all sorts of fun all over the town and wastelands around it. There as everything from exploration of wastelands through political assassinations that needed some investigation to very pleasant conversations by a huge bonfire. Sadly those few days of total separation from reality ended and we had to leave. Fortunately we went straight to a sunny beach to spend the next week with my family and my girlfriend (who wasn't very keen on spending a week in dirt with little to no chance of washing). This was the laziest part of the vacation where we were finally able to relax and just lie in the sand. And I introduced GD to the glorious thing that is sauna and I think she did like it
Once that week was over we had to go back home. I went together with my girlfriend to a family event in Warsaw for two days and we're still very grateful that GD took care of out cat during our absence and as far as the interesting part goes, that's about it.
I got to spend a lot of awesome time with some of my best friends and I already miss that.
I already look for any chance to get people together again and have some fun.
Damn it, I'm starting to be social

Easter update
Well it's Easter and I'm told it's kind of a big deal so have a post about my stuff :D I used to make pictures/pinups for Easter/spring, but I have to admit my creative juices are mostly focused on something else at the moment. I might post some of my fun with IT alter this month and there's a least a couple of RPG blogs I want to write and post on my website, but drawing is a bit of a chore lately. And by lately I mean pretty pretty much since 2018, looking back at my gallery. But anyway, as far as updates are concerned, since I finally have at least a bit of free time, I decided to format and reinstall my main pc in hopes to fix a couple of really annoying issues I've been having, which most likely are related to a metric crap ton of conflicting settings, drivers and a bunch of Windows updates piled up dangerously high. If that doesn't help.... well... I was told the new AMD processor lineup is pretty good, so it might be time for an upgrade? What does that have to do with
Places on the internet
Funny things keep happening lately Almost exactly 4 years ago on 8th of December I've made a Journal here ranting about Tumblr's porn ban. Back then there were people cheering the decision to remove all inappropriate materials from Tumblr and there were people prophesizing it's doom. Turns out both camps were wrong, as it's' usually the case. Porn bots are still there, since, you know, making something illegal is not the same thing as making it disappear, but instead it makes people doing it less worried about following rules in general (a hint to all politicians out there). Tumblr as a whole still exists, yes, it lost a metric shit-ton of value and was bought by it's main competitor on the blogging market for three pennies, but it's still there. And, 4 years the boob ban was lifted and they're pretty much on the same level as deviantArt. I tested it, I made a new account there, reposted a couple of pictures, all works well, might consider going back there for a while. Speaking of
Another portion of RPG ramblings
Some time ago I wrote an article about world building for an RPG and the initial idea behind it. Back then I didn't want to write too much for two reasons. One, I didn’t know if anyone would read it and two, I didn't want to spoil the plot twist for my players. While I still don't think anyone reads this, my players figured out the great mystery behind their origins, kinda, so I can now more freely describe the world as they see it. So first of all, the initial magically post-apo'ed world they came from is still canon and in fact, the same world they are in right now. The question was never "where are they" but rather "when are they" with all the time travelling shenanigans that this brings to the game. But I will talk about that in the next instalment, right now I want to focus on the world itself. And I'm pretty proud of it. It's in no way original, it's a blend of several worlds from fantasy settings, but I didn't want to make it too typical. And also, I wanted to have a
Toyhou.se
It's a silly name to be honest, but lets talk about it. Well, not really talk, just pass on some info :D I had it for years now, but never bothered using it, since I made my own website which serves a similar purpose (although it's mostly an archive independent of any pesky ToS'es and other things like that) but I guess some of you might want to know that for some bizarre reason that I do have a toyhou.se account and started updating it with some of my characters. So if you're interested, here's a link: https://toyhou.se/Adalbertus
