This @SecretWorldLgds contest looks like fun.

I did the Agent one, not the Screenshot one. The Agent is more in my wheelhouse; and, frankly, if Secret World Legends doesn’t want him I’m doing a full write-up of the dude because I think that he’s hysterical. And inevitable, in a Laurence of Arabia way.

Yay (on balance)! Daylight Savings Time starts tomorrow.

The bad news: everybody has a screwed-up schedule for the next week or so, or possibly six months (some people just can’t handle the circadian shift).

And my God but the Investigation mission that they dropped.  This was one of those where you had to download a substitution cipher app to read the clues — read all the clues, friend — to figure out the passwords to advance the mission and then… well, no spoilers.  Secret World Legends prides itself on making cheerfully insanely difficult Investigation missions, and this one certainly qualified.  Lots of fun; it took me two hours to figure out how the cipher alphabet worked.

No, that wasn’t sarcasm.  Although it might have been if I had given up.  But I wasn’t going to, so winning was fun.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Krampusnacht…

Looks like nothing new on Secret World Legends before the Christmas event:

Tweet of the Day, This Was My Morning edition.

They thought it was funny to not put a helpful “JUMP HERE” sign…

…for the latest Secret World Legends content.  Managed to miss the podium and instead jump into the abyss something like seven times.  Admittedly, it was funny.
