I didn't think 2025 was going to be the year I start obsessing over custom Lava Lamps, but here we are. #lavalamp

Insomnia has been more pronounced these past few months

I guesssss I can take a break from buying lava lamps for now.

One more, just because. #pixelart #procreate

Ever so slowly updating the art in my game. Might even finish, someday! #pixelart #procreate

Tonal whiplash with the last 3 movies: Promethus, Alien: Covenant, Up

Alien: Resurrection was not great.

However, it filled in a LOT of missing context for an incredible Super Metroid hack I played last year called VITALITY. It took a huge amount of inspiration from this movie specifically.

Alien 3 was... lots of inexplicable behavior, and I've also found out there's an Assembly Cut that changes a bunch of story stuff. Not sure I want to sit through another 2.5 hours of it anytime soon, though 😵‍💫

I didn't hate it, but also didn't love it.

Finished out the week with Aliens. Probably Alien 3 tomorrow...

This week's movies so far:
Alien (1979)
Death to Smoochy (2002)
Deadpool vs. Wolverine (2024)

Also looking forward to having next week off. No big plans, but hopefully I can think of some creative venture to spend some time on.

I was slicing a bagel open this morning while thinking about how often people injure themselves doing so. Then my hand slipped. I am now a statistic

For those who don't know, I had a very special pet sparrow named Beebee. I found him in a parking lot after he'd fallen out of his nest. I rescued him, and he lived for over 9 years. I lost him in the beginning of October. This is a quick little 1-bit drawing of him.

Maybe my body wants a biphasic sleep schedule or something. Or I'm a finely tuned machine that only needs 5 hrs of sleep.

Heeeey insomnia! It's like clockwork. At least I have somewhere to scroll that isn't full of doom. It's nice.

Also my head hurts because I had a scalp biopsy yesterday. Nothing serious, but I was given instructions on what to do if I start "oozing" which is slightly concerning.

I'm already doing the thing where I just don't have much to say. Work burns me right the hell out during the week. The weekend feels like it's mostly dedicated to recharging for work. At least I have some time off soon...

Another redone room! #pixelart #procreate

Tonight's movie was The Running Man. Must be on some kind of dystopian kick lately...

Another updated room in my game. Trying to pay more attention to perspective. I think it's an improvement! #pixelart #procreate

I swear, Rails will be the death of me. Brain is so fried today. #ruby #rubyonrails

Having backed, played through, and greatly enjoyed the original, I already know the sequel will be excellent. Back it if you can :)

Facebook's algorithm is baffling sometimes. It *really* wants me to watch hoof maintenance and dirty carpets.

No, those are not euphemisms
November 11, 2024 at 9:07 PM
Anyone have suggestions for good #Procreate brush sets specifically for #PixelArt? I've already bought the excellent Manero Pixel Art Experience set. Wondering what else is out there. Seeing lots of stuff that doesn't look quite right (i.e. inconsistent sizing, rotation, etc.)

It's kind of funny how groups of people develop little "micro-languages". In the Hades II modding Discord, we often communicate in big-chinned Walters (hoys) and everyone seems to understand what it means. I don't, but I try 😆
November 11, 2024 at 3:08 PM
And now for some more "barely shows an improvement" redone art from End Quest (first post failed, oops)
