Playing Yakuza Kiwami Makes Me Hungry/Thirsty

I ended up taking it easy tonight, played a little Yakuza Kiwami and napped a little to try and cure my corporate fueled vampirism. Out of all the games I’ve played I don’t think any of them make me crave food quite like Yakuza does. Going to restaurants to recover your health is really immersive, especially when they put so much detail into the drinks and foods you can buy. Seeing the pictures in game makes me want to try or even make some of thus stuff in the real world. I’m not gonna lie when I say I’m kinda interested in what a “Condensed Milk Latte” would consist of, and do I even want to know what Peter’s Blend is?

Beware Of Dummy Thicc Ice

All posed and ready for animation! I did a little work on the mouth tonight, will probably do more after work tonight. I’m on my final vampire shift… thank fuck. I don’t mind graveyards but the job they’re making me do is way out of my element, stressful, and the people I work around are absolute drama queens.

Welcome To Party Church!

It’s still in the WIP stage, but after some scouting around between different maps and whole models of buildings I think I’ve found a proper candidate to build another stage! I don’t have big plans for it at the moment, other than for it to be a backdrop. But I’m rather certain Yutram and I will return here for other occasions.

Early Morning Open Thread

I’ve been enjoying some Spyro, and a little Source Filmmaker among other things to try and stay awake. They’re flipping me to graveyard for most of the week. My voice has been feeling a little raw today, hopefully it’s just from fatigue. I wanted to record some voice lines tonight, but it just feels like I’m croaking. In fact I think I might croak in bed soon… Maybe play a little Spyro from the comfort of bed.

Gotta love controllers.

Therapeutic Anti Stress Melon?

Apparently I’ve built a reputation at work. Anytime a watermelon product comes in now random people that range from people I’ve worked with to people I barely know will pull me aside to show me watermelon related collectables. This little one was brought to my attention yesterday, and for about five bucks I decided a lavender scented melon wedge. I’ve never seen watermelon products in the winter… at least locally. Where the seven layers of party dip is this sudden trend of watermelon coming from? I’m still trying to figure out why it’s lavender scented. Then again there were alternative options that I could have purchased which include a cactus, avocado (fuck the avocado, but seriously don’t fuck the avocado) and french fries which carry the same scent of flowers.

I might try microwaving it a bit tonight before bed. The scent alone lulled me to sleep last night upon going horizontal, either that or the entire two hours of sleep I had before going to work at 3 AM to work may have had a slight influence.

The Stages Have Been Set

The stage has been set for the next video, and dialogue has been imported and chopped for proper animation. This time around we have another guest on our couch, and I can’t remember how but we settled on him being The Stig from Top Gear. I’ve also set the stage for a scene in another map too, but I ran out of time tonight to refine the model poses, so they’ll have to remain T-Posed until tomorrow. I’ve got a long early day tomorrow (3am) and I really need to think about doing the sleep thing.

All Aboard The Party Bus!

This is going to be a vehicle for a small scene I’m working on. I’m not finished building it up to satisfaction but this is supposed to be a party bus, kinda sorta based off of an adventure we had in Garry’s Mod years ago involving a party bus that would take us to a magical place called “party church”. back in the days when Yutram used to give guided tours in the party bus along the Quebec side of GMod.

This was basically a digital new year’s party we held back in 2015… hard to believe it’s been so long. We had Fireworks, dancing, party church, music that surprisingly didn’t get copyrighted. Such innocent…ish times.

Evening Open Thread

Not much to write. I forced myself to wake before 10am, made a good breakfast, did some housework and then exported some desired audio to begin animating! Also preparing an SFM holiday photo that will probably become an avatar when the time comes, just had an idea for an alternative pose but it will have to wait until tomorrow at the soonest. I’ll reveal it when the time comes. Hopefully everyone else is having a good day/night.
