as a little treat for release the team was given a physical edition of the tarot cards I illustrated. so freaking amazing to hold them in my hands - its an honor I got to design these (including front packaging!)
A deck of Tarot cards for The Sims 4: Life and Death - cards are similar to the originals, with The Fool, The Magician, The Empress, and more.

Fun fact: writers don't 'finish' books, we just eventually stop editing before we spiral into madness.

a baleful mist sun seems to admonish the deck and wooden stairs leading to a mournful rock beach wooden pilings dotting gray water forming a v due to the curve of land white railed metal ramp leading to dock area with posts seeming to float in the air due to mist v of land and reflection jutting from left into heavy mist

Did a gameplay video of Sun Haven with my messed up audio. All my videos this week have the weird "one ear only" audio glitch if you're listening on headphones. It's fixed for next week's videos. Come check out me and my attempt at foiling Weedly's dastardly plan. youtu.be/x4ggu8L7SFo?...

I apologize for the quality of the audio on yesterday's book video. OBS changed some settings after its last update on the backend and I didn't realize it until someone commented on it during my stream. Fixed it. Will fix next week's recordings. This week's are cooked. #booktube #writingcommunity

12 books, 2 1/2 years, and I've finally decided I'm just going to post the novels over on my blog and do YouTube videos of me reading the chapters for anyone who wants to give a listen. First chapter of the first book in the Valspur Legacy series goes LIVE today! #booksky #writingcommunity

The company that bought the one I work for has a "use it or lose it" policy for PTO. I've got 8 hours of PTO I need to use or lose forever. I was going to extend the upcoming holidays by a day (either one, I didn't care). Both are blacked out. So I'm taking next Monday off for a 3 day weekend.

So I've resurrected my Twitch and YouTube channels. I'm streaming Sims, among other games. I've exported the first of my VODs from my Twitch streams to my YouTube channel. Pardon the poor sound quality. Hopefully should have that fixed soon. youtu.be/YKQzzhGGfiw

If you're curious, no it's not COVID. No one can tell me WHAT it is. I've been sick in one way or another since the end of May so who the fuck knows anymore?
