Some progress was made on the TF2 servers! I finally found time to copy over libcurl from my old server to do some testing, and I’m happy to say it works! I’ve started copying the remainder of the server files over. Hoping to finish up in a day or two. In other news I have more nightmare fuel:
Still on schedule for October. 😀
I made more video progress this evening! Sadly I can’t share the particular shot I’m working on… it’s disturbing enough that I want to keep it under wraps until the proper day of deployment. I showed it to one of my friends, and they referred to it as “cursed”. Not an entirely wrong assessment. I can, however, share a shot from a different scene that I was working on last night.
Far more tame compared to what I’m currently working on.
I have recently learned that a pound of a particular tea I have every other morning will last me a little over a year. Thank you, Jeff Bezos…
Happy Valentines Day!
I spent the day relaxing, drinking mimosas, popping back chocolates n cheeses, and making some animated nightmare fuel. After all, someone has to. I’m rendering the first set of animations as this is being written. I have a few other rounds in SFM before completing the first video, however.
I may or may not continue tomorrow. I still need to tear into some server stuff first.
I’ve been feeling pretty dead since last night — went to bed with a troublesome stomach. Tonight I’m just feeling tired, hopefully I’m not coming down with anything. Other than that I’ve been going full force on animation! I did take a bit of a break and played some Borderlands 2 with Yutram; we’re still tackling the Dragon Keep DLC. We’ll probably have it finished on the next session. It was nice to play a little bit tonight, and with the company of a good friend.
The last few days have been almost tropical. It’s weird to think that we’ve been hotter than certain parts of Texas…
Yeah, that’s all I got tonight… I might have something more, meaningful tomorrow.
I don’t own a Switch, but I know quite a few who do. I’ll have to tell them about it!
Ran into an issue with the TF2/L4D1 & L4D2 VM and had to do a reinstall. I’ll setup the Samba share tomorrow, and I’ll transfer over some older dependencies to see if that fixes the issue. I took a break from it to setup my next scene in SFM, nothing worth posting though.
But now comes time to rest, so that I may practice my Sourcery another day.
I didn’t accomplish much today… it was a stay in bed kind of day for the most part. Although, there was a small break for a large helping of Spaghetti Carbonara. It’s mostly been a drink chamomile tea and try to not spin kind of day, maybe one cocoa before bed. I’m sure I’ll be fine for work tomorrow, that seems to be how these things go.
Anyways… Open Thread!
Made some good progress in Control! I gained a couple new abilities, fought a lot of Hiss, died a bunch of times… it was fun! I can now produce a shield at will and control weak enemies to do my bidding. It was another one of those games that looks superb on a big screen! Like being in control of a movie, that would be named Control in this case. 😛
