Just so folks aren't confused when I re-follow over the next few weeks, I'm doing some maintenance on my Bluesky account after realizing just how messy things got by going ham on following starter lists.
They're a great tool, but as with everything, moderation tends to be a better strategy 🤣

It really is a trip when my brain goes from "focused on a project" to "I'm resting now, so literally nothing sounds fun, I'll let you know when I'm done by hyper focusing on something else, kay?"

Playing with Python scripting in #blender and you can make some nifty #3dmodeling tools with it!
Whipped up a script that takes the front, back, and spine of any of my books and spits out a 3D model for me that I can use in promo shots and videos.

And with that, the final playtesting phase of my #Minecraft companion #TTRPG Waywright is complete!
HUGE thank you to the wonderful group of folks who put up with my wildly over-written first draft and helped with some truly great feedback.
Some key takeaways from this playtest (a thread):

If I was going to see a reference to the practice of soaking in a book, I'm not surprised it was a book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

Downloaded the new Affinity to give it a try, and I hate that I have to have a Canva account to use it now.
Definitely keeping V2 of the apps installed on my computer and iPad, just in case.

Here's a question to the creative folks here on Bluesky. The cover art for the Stoneblock 4 modpack for #Minecraft features a blocky environment.
How would you go about creating something like this? I know Blender might work, just trying to figure out what the easiest path to accomplish this is

Oh hey, looks like I’ve reached that time of life where taking off a jacket might just cause a pinched nerve so bad that I’m rendered half immobile.
Neat.

I’m at the point where any corporation who sends me a guest survey without compensating me for that time is getting a survey of all zeroes back.

I do love a clear laptop case as I can use my fun stickers without having to, you know, ruin them by sticking them on something and doing it wrong and wasting a sticker

I never want anyone to assume I think I’m coming from a place of expertise.
Like, I’ve done things and learned things I’m confident in, but just because it worked for me doesn’t mean it’s for everyone.
Take inspiration wherever you can and turn it into something that works for you.

This whole “advertise on every space possible” thing isn’t new I realize, but it feels increasingly dystopian to be advertised this way.
Allegedly Apple will even start showing ads in their Maps app soon.
Ads make me actively like your company and product LESS.

I'm literally here trying to download Stoneblock 4 for #Minecraft and being shown ads for prescription medications. In a mod loader.
I would like to stop being advertised at by corporations and pharmaceutical companies please.

I’ve reworked the explanation for how Usage Pools function in Boundless to make them easier to grasp. I’m also introducing “Miss” as an official term to clearly describe what happens when a die doesn’t roll a Hit. The previous wording felt vague, but this update should make things much clearer.

Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own.
We are crunching numbers, but it's grim.
Not sure how we'll make it through November, let alone think about December.
You can help here, but we understand everyone is struggling too. <3

Also, we need to stop letting politicians and corporate mouthpieces not answer questions. If you're asked a question and you smokescreen your answer through nonsense, the asker of that question should just say "Never mind" and end the interview.
Starve them of attention and force them to answer.

I think in 2025, protest chants need to get a lot meaner. Don't just chant about what you want, undermine the seriousness of the opposition. Make them feel stupid, and judged.
"Hey hey, ho ho, racism has got to go" isn't doing anything, but "everyone here thinks you're an idiot" could be fun

I'm on the second book in the series, and I'm really enjoying it so far!
These LitRPGs always make me crave a really solid, fun RPG to play, though. Ky kingdom for an Awaken Online helmet

Okay, time to see what all the hubbub is about!
I’ve been feeling really blah today, and remembering that I had a new book to start was a nice little jolt.
