It’s looking like I won’t have this finished before the new year, but I’ll at least have 95% done for next year! I’m still putting time into this whenever I can. I didn’t actually mean to today, but I find when I’m feeling low I feel better when I’m doing something creative. There’s just something about escaping into another place for awhile, if only to forget for a moment.
New game time! I decided to try My Friend Pedro. It’s a side scrolling bullet ballet with bullet time mechanics and physics shenanigans. Not only does it run nicely on Steam Deck, but it also kept my hands warm! It also supports cloud saving! I continued my adventures on desktop to enjoy in 4K!
I couldn’t resist snapping this one the other day! I was in the middle of taking care of things around the house and saw him chilling outside on the railing, and I haaaaad to drop what I was doing to take a pic of him!
Got all Xmas gifts in my possession! Now I’m just waiting for a few birthday presents and then I won’t have to worry about gifting for a couple of months! I’ll need the additional free time to start looking into building a Mastodon server of my own. It’ll be nice to have my own instance, especially with more and more people joining it everyday to evade St Elmo’s Dumpster Fire. My feed has been set ablaze by the mass bannings over at the birdshite. I’ve been sitting back with my popcorn and watching the world burn.
I’m glad I never that place. I won’t have to worry about missing it to the same extent other people do.
Nothing to report – Just another day of work come and gone, with a little bit of fun in between. Just drinking some tea and cocoa before lights out. I’ve been buying the high quality mixes of cocoa and adding different things to it. For example: I bought a dark cocoa and added toasted green tea matcha to it, plus some cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne pepper for something equally sweet spicy and smoky. It’s now one of my favorite ways of drinking matcha! I find if I incorporate it into my daily life at least once I don’t have as much grog when I wake up.
Alas; not all the gifts I’m waiting for arrived today, but receiving some is better than none. I wrapped what I have on hand, so when the stragglers do show up I can just wrap a few things up and send it all off! Also finished up more dusting and tidying today, and even had a chance to do a little animating! I even played a little bit of Neon White!
I already have next weekend planned out: Lots of baking. I’m going to make my cranberry nut muffins for some co-worker friends of mine! I seem to need to make more each year, so I’ll be baking a lot this coming weekend! Perhaps in more ways than one. 😛
Did a looooooooot of cleaning today! I managed to clear off my desk, dust it along with some of the other furniture. Finally found an arrangement on the desk that I really like, might even take a picture tomorrow if I can find the time! Also cleared out a bunch of old junk, will probably do more cleaning tomorrow. I’m still waiting on some gifts to come in, but I’ll probably start wrapping the ones that are already here tomorrow. If I’m lucky the rest of them will show up in the afternoon.
Other than that I’ve been beating people up in Yakuza 0 tonight, and maaaayyyybeeee a little bit of pool and karaoke. Seemed like a decent reward to myself after a long day of evicting dust and clutter. It’s good to take out a little aggression before bed anyways. 😛
Once again I’m wandering 80’s Japan in Yakuza 0. I always like going back around and finding details I’ve never seen, this one definitely caught my eye. I know a few Karens that could claim this title.
