I often find I can't aleep until I'm so tired that my body just shuts down. Its interesting.

Working on editing my first manuscript from years ago. It dawned on me that I could use AI to help me trim some fat and now it's a whole project. Really interested to see how I can restructure and update this narrative.

Another sick day but feeling way better than yesterday still.

Stream was shirt, experimenting with AI to help with both programming and project management. Hoping to have my website set up within the next day or so.

Spontaneous sinus infection/head cold... but still made a new PR at the gym.

Now it's time to work on some.#gamedev and try not to feel worse haha. May be a shorter stream but I'm live!

Years ago, I experimented with writing live on stream. I felt it was decently successful at the time. I'm curious about revisiting the idea of writing my projects more openly.

Meanwhile, fumbling through learning some #gamedev and thoughts on self-improvement @ twitch.tv/galactickodiak

Considering getting into vtubing -- probably more of a down the line concept as my list of needs is getting pretty hefty for fully restoring the stream...

but it's an interesting idea.

Pontificating and fumbling through some #gamedev on #twitch if you want to hang. twitch.tv/galactickodiak

Missed my #Twitch stream to volunteer with my Church today. Think I'm going to take the day to get organized; feels good to put energy into helping people.

Hope you're having a great day as well.

I am thinking I'm going to make some IGmrED (Impossible Goals merely require Extraordinary Devotion) merch...

Anyway, come watch me fumble through YouTube tutorials and weird AI coding suggestions.

Eventually all of this will turn into a decently forgettable IP. :)

I'd call it a pretty successful day of Godot. I need to get get in my college work and writing though.

Working on a format for a daily checklist for my notebook. Have a feeling it will help.
December 13, 2024 at 1:14 AM
Oof, rough couple of days but trudging along.

Going to experiment with Unreal engine while I'm hunting for IK-ready sprites.

Need to do some writing on the novellas today, study some, and then see what I can start getting together for posting videos.
December 11, 2024 at 9:20 PM
Beginning my quest to bash my head against the wall until I figure out game design (and life?)

Fiddling around in Godot at the moment.

Feel free to come hang. twitch.tv/galactickodiak

Brainstorming developing my IP and projects while cleaning up my Monster Hunter characters before MHWilds.

Whelp, think I missed a day? Wish I cared more...

Thinking about starting to stream 12pm-3pm MT time. It's right after I leave the gym and generally there's no reason to be driving then either way. Just means I have to go to the gym earlier, which isn't hard.

Day #6

The fascinating thing about committing to actualizing creating projects I've been thinking/planning for years is the act of filling in the holes and answering the why's.

There's something really fun about replacing silly ideas with compelling ones.
December 3, 2024 at 4:26 AM
Day #6

1100 words written this morning towards an overview of Book 1. I would say that's about 60% of what will become the outline.

It's nice actualizing elements of the world design, I feel like I can get nerdy with my terrible concept sketches soon.

Day #5

So I counted 30 days of tracking my work outs so far.

I'm curious how many days I'd have on my writing notes if I had dated them.

Going to organize all of my work for the next few weeks tomorrow.
December 1, 2024 at 4:13 AM
Day #4

I realized today it has been about a month since I started logging my workouts. There's something really satisfying and exciting about all the progress.

I'm figuring out ways to chart the same kind of stuff for my writing, design, and general growth.

Day #3

Happy Thanksgiving.

Honestly, I'm most thankful to have the chance to create my dream life, even if I'm taking the long road.

Needing to remind myself to begin documenting things more frequently...

Anyway, Happy Holidays!

Day #2

Something I learned about myself back in my Twitch days was that the easiest way for me to move forward on projects was to just throw out trash.

All of a sudden that "I can get this perfect if I think about it more" anxiety has to switch to "prove it" mode.
