#gauntlet — Public Fediverse posts

A nice quick project for a warm day, made with random odds of cotton from the yarn stash. #knitting #gauntlet

Mama was resting on the couch, half dozing, half awake. On the muted TV, snow leopards waved their long, thick tails. Little Timon saw his chance. With determination he crawled through the #gauntlet of toys set around him for his entertainment and to the enticing black rectangle on the carpet by Mama's hand. Just when his own little hand was about to close on it, Mama roused and scooped him up, blowing raspberries on his belly.

"No you don't! Phone's not for you."

He bowed with formal grace, though not as deeply as Sumika. “Welcome, I’m Arakawa Dōken.” He stopped and studied my mistress, who remained silent, bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

“I-I-I…” She finally responded, but couldn’t get anything further out.

“And you were one who wore bells at your waist and spoke the names of spirits without bowing,” the spirit said.

He paused again, waiting. But when there was only silence, he resumed. “Now you are soft, tainted with foreign magic. Still, you are the tool that is handy—you may rise samayō miko. Let me have your name.” Despite the disrespect embodied in his words, his tone was hypnotic.

Sumika straightened, and I struggled again not to topple over. Otherwise, I would have warned her not to give her name. Names have power.

“Yeung Su-sumika.”

That was an odd combination, but it explained why she used her given name. It can be quite the #gauntlet surviving in a Japanese school with a Chinese surname.

“Yeung-san, I see you bear my gift,” Arakawa-sama said.

“Gift?” Sumika said, swaying. Her voice fluttered.

“Not good,” I thought. “He is a hawk, and she is a dove.”

“The book. The book you gave me in times gone by, I have returned it to you.”

“What book?” I asked myself. I would have to ask about that later.

Arakawa continued. His voice was soothing. Not a hawk but a serpent weaving its hypnotic spell.

          Lo, seeker
          Mountain sought
          Before you the path

He paused, waiting for an answer. When none came, he recited his own response to the #renga.

          Owl call
          Stem the tides
          Stones smooth

The word "owl" hit me like an arrow, breaking the spell Arakawa-sama had woven, leaving me itching as if I had fleas.

Having escaped the weave of his voice, I thought about what he was saying. It’s an offer. The upper verse says my mistress had found what she sought, and the lower verse offers to change what has passed. How fitting that Arakawa-sama calls himself “owl,” a hunter in the night, and robber of nests in the dark. The tides he wishes to stem are those that have caught him up; those of a forgotten #disposable kami, not Sumika’s.

“Come, bind yourself to me.” He had now switched to prose. “Remember, Ban Zhao says, ‘Let a woman modestly yield to others.’ Yet, I will deliver all you dream of.”

“Pig,” I almost blurted out.

Then he returned to verse.

          Twaining weed
          Moon and Hawk fly
          Wild herb open

He held out his hand, and Sumika reached for it.

"They have crossbow men positioned on both sides of the valley overlooking the road," Nightmare said, after he returned from scouting. "It's like a #gauntlet."
"It looks impossible," Roughneck said. "We'll need to find another way."
"You forget," Curtains said. "We have him." He gestured at Flypaper.
He pointed at the map. "They'll never expect us to climb here. There's an overhang. That's where we'll ascend."
He looked among the men. "Any questions? No? Move out!" #wss366

10-hour Superplay of Arcade Gauntlet
Gauntlet is one of the best games that Atari Games made, and is certainly one of the best known, but it's interesting how little even people who played it know about it.

Gauntlet has 100 levels, although seven of them take the form of an in-game tutorial. The first level has three exits; one if market EXIT TO 4 and anothe

How #Gauntlet is possible on the #Colecovision with all those sprites is beyond me. On the NES all the enemies were a part of the background layer. (If I remember right) I don’t think the Colecovision can do that even though this game requires the expansion pack basically making it an MSX. It’s impressive to say the least for what the Colecovision is. #retrogaming

Boston Gauntlet 2015

Group photo from the end of the “Gauntlet” event in Somerville.

I think my biggest accomplishment was the “didn’t hurt myself.” I certainly did a lot of physical things that were impressive (for me, and my ability.) But just being able to continue to ‘dig deep’ for hours on end — that was great.

As usual, I want to avoid name-dropping. But we did this one neat turn-vault landing on one foot and continuing on to step down and off the wall… that was something very different! Also, one of the first times I’ve EVER just “done” something and actually felt like I was really moving simply.
