My muscles got a lot of action this week and want a day or two to cool off. I’m probably just gonna enjoy the chill of solitary, and hopefully not be in enough pain to actually have the energy to do something. If I do end up trapped in the bed dimension though I do have some entertaining reading material to partake in. One of my friends at work cued me into this particular github. It’s pretty weird seeing github being used for the retelling of Harry Potter using nothing but Gen-Z slang, but it’s lit af.
Evening Open Thread
I’ve got a case of writers block tonight. Work was tolerable, and I’ve been vibin’, chillin’ and enjoying my tiny break from reality before returning to it tomorrow. Right now I’m sitting here, drinking and breathing in the scent of cherry blossoms to hopefully carry my brain to a good place tonight.
Open Thread!
Fus Ro Greenscreen!
I didn’t get much done in the way of animation tonight; It was mostly spent posing and adding on accessories to our characters. I’ll probably begin animating it tomorrow. This project will probably take me awhile to finish, and probably won’t see release until next month at the very latest.
I’m thinking once I reach September I’ll try and look through the video lineup I have for December. If possible I’d like to try and finish some Left 4 Dead videos revolving around a winter campaign. I left off with two videos done, and one in progress with one more to follow. It’ll be fun seeing if I remember anything from where I stopped, heh.
Monday Evening Open Thread
Another weekend comes to pass, and I’m refreshed enough to begin taking a week’s worth of listening to verbal abuse… This morning I awoke and thought to myself that I should consider taking some time off soon, perhaps next month. Until then: Cocoa on a cold day is an excellent antidepressant, south of the border omelettes are a great way to spend the weekend, tea is always legal, games are a good stress release, and I can celebrate that one of my renders for my current Skyrim project just completed!
One of the many other smaller transitions to follow. More on that tomorrow!
Stray Sunday
My cat adventures are officially over… for now. I beat Stray! I still need to go back and find some missing memories and some other achievements/trophies, but I finished the game AND had fun trying out a couple of mods:
One of the mods you can get from Stray’s Nexus is photo mode! Which is something that should have shipped with the game. It’s a little buggy, and I did crash the game a couple of times, but that only seemed to occur if I Alt-Tabbed one too many times. This mod alone will make my next playthrough of the game all the more worthwhile! Now I can go through the game pretending to be tourist cat. 😛
I also tested the split screen co-op mod. It looks really nice on a big 4K TV! But it’s even buggier than photo mode; If you walk into an area you’re not supposed to the second controller will stop functioning partially, and only Player 1 has the robot and HUD button prompts. It was fun to play with, but this mod still needs some time to mature. It has really been nice seeing all of the different mods popping onto the Nexus for Stray! Now if someone could just add a level editor so people could make their own platforming puzzles that would be purr-fect.
One of these days I’ll play through it again, perhaps when my Steam Deck finally arrives! Until then it’s back to fighting off the rest of my gaming backlog! 😛
Evening Open Thread
Too tired to write anything of substance, not that anything I write has any substance to it. I’m near the end of my work week, and I’m really feeling it.

The Food Blogging Continues
Once again, my RSS feed blessed my eyes with another intriguing foodable item exclusively out of my reach.
I’m already wondering how I would go about replicating that? Probably with a good white chocolate base and some blended grapes topped with a blend of yogurt? Either way I’m getting ideas.
You Got Mint Chocolate On My Chicken
As I was making my way through my RSS feed this morning to make my lunch break slightly entertaining — I happened upon this article about a new sauce at KFC South Korea that can only be obtained if you order it online.
The article is an interesting read. If I could afford to travel the world I’d love to try not just what each country had to offer as traditional cuisine, but also experience places like KFC, and even McDonalds JUST to taste their own style of Murican’ cuisine!
