I’m a bit exhausted tbh.

This will be my priv when BS makes them exist.
Built a desk, unfortunately needed to compromise on my original intent to have the legs fold up. It would have worked but would have wobbled too much for me to draw on.

“If there is a problem, let me know” and “if a part did not machine cleanly, leave it in the machine and show me” are like, the two most basic things I ask of those who work under me, and yet….

Tired of finding out about problems long after the fact

Working on an arcade cabinet. Most of the way through the overall frame of it, but I still need to drill and rout the holes for the joystick and buttons.

Might need to wait until after Christmas to finish it. But I can start getting it ready to paint at least.

Btw this is the kotatsu I built. Still need to match up the top of the table to the underside but that’ll wait until I have a table saw.

Every time I say “I should draw a guy” my brain defaults to “but what about pretty lady in maid outfit?? 🥺”

I really should split the difference and just draw a prettyboy in a maid outfit.

They won’t cut MDF at this Home Depot I gotta use plywood like a chump. My hands are full of splinters just loading it into the car.

The way “AI” gets used as such a catchall makes people think the the technology used to make big boob anime porn or write essays for lazy highschoolers is the Exact Same Thing as the technology used to identify cancer cells or count potatoes on a conveyor, and that one can’t exist without the other.

Woodworking has been nice. The real big benefit is finally knowing what to ask for Christmas so I don’t flounder.
The answer is wood clamps. Any size, every size, more is better, never too much.
I think I’ll spend my bonus on a table saw and/or a jigsaw… maybe a router too depending on how much.

In lighter news, I got my orange pi working properly with Android, so I could set it up as a mini-emulator pc if I wanted. Might still try out Armbian though, since I want to do more than just GBA/DS games on it.

Little personal life update, over the weekend I built myself a nice little workbench to try out some power tools and to see if woodworking interested me.

I’m now planning out several projects… one is a potential arcade cabinet for touhou games/emulated stuff, another is a kotatsu…

The ending was a lil more rushed than I would have liked, but Tyranal is officially done…

I think folks had fun

Looking at old Battlemaps from Tyranal and getting emotional…

Man… 🥹
Some of these looked like shit 🥹

(But also, I really enjoyed running this game and am gonna miss it)

I am going to deserve this vacation so much. I need to shower and I’m only halfway through the day
October 1, 2025 at 4:03 PM
I need to draw so bad it makes me look stupid but also I need to prep for Tyranal because I kinda want to get the ball rolling on the finale…
September 30, 2025 at 11:19 AM
I need to go back to doing this.

People on Twitter are shitting on blender because it’s too hard to learn :(. Sorry there’s no “make 3D character button”, you have to learn 3D modeling in the same way you need to learn to draw. Blender is leaps and bounds easier to use now than a decade ago, and unfortunately if you want to do

My car’s back left wheel completely rusted off the frame. Apparently it’s unlikely I’ll be able to fix it. So I gotta get a new one.
Glad it happened near work and not somewhere more dangerous, but man.

Tired. Have not slept well lately, maybe I need to start going to bed earlier and staying off my phone once I’m in bed.
September 8, 2025 at 1:30 PM
Why is it always just before I have my check-in with my doctor that my mood plummets and I get no sleep and I spend half my weekend rotting?? I was fine the last couple weeks…

I’m tired and stress is catching up to me I think.
September 2, 2025 at 3:09 PM
I do not feel like I rested yesterday but also don’t feel like I like… did anything. Still tired. Ugh
August 11, 2025 at 11:03 AM
I want to run Tyranal again…

Considering prepping stuff for the rest of the campaign, maybe I’ll run at a brisk pace once everyone’s schedules line up…

I even considered pre-recording certain cutscenes so I could time music…

Hate when bad brain starts cropping up and wants to be sad or upset about the littlest things or stuff that happened weeks ago or whatever. Knock it off I’m trying to sleep.
August 5, 2025 at 2:08 AM
Session seeming to go really well on Wednesday is what’s carrying my through this week. I had a lot of fun and it seemed like my players did too.

I can’t wait to run again…

Today has not been off to a good start.
July 28, 2025 at 2:02 PM
I’m so tired. I wish I could point to a specific moment and go “shit has been stressful since X” but that date keeps seeming further and further back. There’s always been something.

And then I gotta mow that lawn still.
