I played Persona 5 for a while tonight and I think it may be time to put it down for another several months again. I started the Burger Man's Space Colony Palace and I am just feeling tired of these systems. Spending a couple hours clicking X to advance through the barely-interactive Hawaii trip probably didn't help my mood towards the game either.

AC is for weaklings!

so this diagram explaining different kinds of public nudity got posted to a chat I am in and now this has lead to me sitting here thinking "what if Horny Variant Peganthyrus was being an art model" and I am remembering the ways models would act in the many figure drawing sessions I've attended over my life and just casually knocking out some little doodles with absolutely no reference that would make the me who was taking all those figure drawing sessions green with envy.

And I guess really the right sentiment is to say thank you to Past Me for investing all those hours in staring at naked people with utter dispassion, and thinking hard about how to draw them despite repeatedly messing it up. Thanks, Past Me.

Holy crap the responses this repair shop has to their bad reviews sure are amazing. They are also definitely me keep looking. https://yelp.to/qTKq/3oBggWdS99

3pm and I finally got my ass out of the house to do laundry. It was a lot easier when I could sit at the laundromat without worrying about a pandemic and a laptop battery that held more than a half hour’s charge.

@zebratron2084

yeah this is totally an 8C kind of day right now

I should get dressed and get the fuck out, it's sunny and I'll probably feel better

I woke up this morning to news that the fucking Hard Rock Disaster is *on fire* and I just wanna go back to sleep for a fucking year.

It is a small fire and it seems to be under control so I'm not worrying about worst-case scenarios but, ugh.

@OldRedSun

Sometimes I look at this and want to do more stuff like it. Then I remember how much fun it was to stare at this for hours on end while making it. I could probably do a lot of its tricks faster now, but... ow.

@Tathar

Oooh that’s horny.

walking through the dark house at night, swaying my hips and imagining a big thick dragon tail swaying behind me

@001zlnv

you too.

@Rowyn

Thanks <3

I am hoping to finish it before the end of the month but things are sooooo slllloooowww...

@Canageek @xinjinmeng @kistaro

would you use it if it had a mode where it worked as a joystick instead of a mouse, though?

Today I grabbed some small post-its and it is really nice to once more have small bits of brightly-colored paper on which to dump small bits of thoughts that I want to deal with later.

I am pretty sure I have a bunch of these that I shipped down from Seattle along with everything else but they are in a box. Somewhere. These new ones are in a cubby of my desk and I know where they are.

Also while I am hurting everyone's eyes, have a piece I did in 2006. Someday I still want to print this out at several feet wide and mount it in an arch over the viewer.

tweaking character colors so they all fall into a midtone between the bright yellow and deep purple I'm using for highlights/shadows, starting to do some clothes, starting to not feel like it's a Giant Mess any more.

Memo to self: CW op art.

Memo to self: consider ending Twitter arguments by simply posting hurty op art exercises. It's the Internet equivalent of playing a loud tone into the phone, then hanging up.

@kistaro

Very yes. Why do y'all make yourself suffer with keyboard and mouse for EVERythING?

@kistaro

Keyboard input for fast action games is a terrible idea. Use a joystick ffs, diagonal inputs and some degree of nuance beyond "are you pressing shift to run" are actually possible.

@thamesynne

SORRYYYY :)
