Playing Echo Bazaar. Not sure what to make of it yet (certainly interesting). Pleased that the dev team is British. Also pleased that they got a consult from Bioware.

I can't decide whether to link it to my Twitter account or not (possibly not, since I'm using it for work and there's enough stuff about my cat and how bad I am at video games, sooooo....*)

I'm going to wait a while before giving my ID out, though, because I want to fiddle with it a bit more, and get the hang of it before I start on stories with other people (which is a totally cool! Like a cross between RP'ing and MMO'ing? ;) Except I don't play MMOs, you know. Don't see the point).

*That said, I beat Hectoncheir first time through, which has never happened before (I actually think he's the worst Eidolon to beat), and now I am at Sulyya, getting beaten up by lizards. WONDERFUL.

Day off has been nice, by the way. Although I accidentally did two hours of work. Tomorrow I'm going to do a couple of sketches that have been niggling my brain since last night (one I did last night - now it needs transferring/painting/whatever the hell it needs. The other one I need to draw out properly. At the moment it looks like dross).

Also there will be legit yarn buying tomorrow, subsidised by my mum! \o/

I just checked with a veteran player and, well, you can't really interact with other players except for some activities that are available in your lodgings (e.g. invite them for a game of chess which will give certain benefits). You also get a mini storylet when you invite someone to create their EB account.
Then there's an option via Opportunity Cards to "share" a story beginning with someone else so that you can both embark on the mission, but you will play separately. Those cards are rare though.
