Hi, I'm Lucy!_she/her

About

Myself— I am Lucy, a linguistics student specialising in semantics and a hobbyist in various areas. I'm currently writing an undergraduate dissertation on indexical shift, a semantic phenomenon. I also write a lot of stories and rules; some of the things I've written are here! I can be found on GitHub and LinkedIn and emailed directly at lucy @ this domain (pub).

Site— This website's theming takes inspiration from Chris DeLuca's Base CSS to Style a Novel and the theming of Georg Duffner's open source EB Garamond, which is also this site's preferred font. The colour scheme used for code blocks is Catppuccin Frappé. The site is hosted with The Tardis Project.

Opera

Here are the things I've done which I am willing to share with the world. Caveat, some of them are very old, unedited, or copied verbatim from other media, introducing a slew of problems. Read on at your own peril, for your own enjoyment, and with my blessing!

Sententiae

• Guide to Elden Ring A straightforward, work-in-progress "walkthrough" of Elden Ring, respecting area scaling and intended quest progression.

• Sunless Citadel A writeup of my experience with the 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons adventure The Sunless Citadel.

• Making Overgrazed Some thoughts on how I made the my static site generator (see below).

• Thoughts on Call of Cthulhu 7E Some immediate musings on my one-shot of CoC7E.

• Fortuna Caeca Est My notes on a D&D 5E campaign that never took off, based on a pre-written adventure.

• Free Will & Determinism A very old "essay" which is probably inaccurate and dates itself by making reference to a certain webcomic.

• The Mugging of Blaise Pascal An odd and not very accurate explanation of Pascal's Mugging.

Miscellany

• sialia.dev and its source, of course!

• Overgrazed My static site generator, used to make this very site!

• Garden Game (608.8 KB ULX) The demo for my work-in-progress interactive fiction game. Play with the link or a downloaded copy in any IF interpreter (I suggest Parchment).

• Freebird's Adventure Log The very long, very comprehensive log of a certain corvid's time dreaming.

Extrawebsital Content

• The works and website of Cosmo.

• Inform and interactive fiction at large.

• In that vein, Counterfeit Monkey by Emily Short and Anchorhead by Michael Gentry.

• Video games by FromSoftware; notably Dark Souls I and II, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring.

• TTRPGs; notably 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons, but not really. No blue link for you.
