Designing a d66 prompt game about condolences. Death is not present but it makes everything that is, important. Would you like to explore its beginnings? #game #invitation #writing #condolences #starting #sharing

I'm writing! And already Chapter 1 has domestic melancholy; Chapter 2 has intimate observation, and; Chapter 3 has playfulness and charm. You can't wait 🙃 It's all I can do to write little by little as we move to a bigger apartment! #writing #cozy #caper #criminals

I'm putting things to "scale." Found a piece of #starship entirely too big to draw in the comic with a straight face and shrunk it - turned out to make a lovely 3/4 view. Much to straighten out and change, but 40-feet across now at the nose. 😀 I like #b3d #Blender #3d to scale! Progress.

My luxury spaceship became too aggressive :( Revamping for the 512th time to dial in S curves and yacht feelings on top of the hot-rod locomotive spaceship it morphed into. #blender #b3d Bevel modifier to hi-lite where lo-poly is weak. Kids say 🎻 Not so bad then 😉

I must be doing something hard because this is the advice I got to do it right: "You need to feed your Random Value node into a Capture Attribute node with a Point domain on your points before Instance On Points." I'll get right to it.... #Blender3d

Brought two laptops back from the dead. A moderately aged ACER with Windows 10S (student) which blew from day one, and a 2011 Mac Book AIR with an Intel 5i chip. I tinkered with ZORIN (a ubuntu Linux baby) and both are singing new life with old data safely wiped. #ComputerGuy #reluctant #oldPC #Mac

Buying video games on physical Media was a highlight of my browsing and shopping 20 years ago! Based on the boxes and wrappers, I bought games I played only once. I miss scanning irl video game and pc app options. Streaming stinks. Industry needs a solution for preservation. #pc #disc #games

After living in Miami 11 years I don't normally chirp about "hot" temperatures here in Germany. But when I see a high of 42 which is 107 Fahrenheit that's just flat out dangerous for so many people in a country eschewing AC. Good luck. Stay shaded. #HeatWave #Germany #danger 🔥

At least 10M Americans are Mayflower descendants. As we approach the nation's birthday, what are they thinking went right, what went wrong? Family values have a funky way of dribbling down. Me? I say come one come all and that the success of democracy is in listening.

Things always go better given enough time. But how seriously do I want to record the fingers on my left hand? Is there some benefit to posterity? Can I just get the gist and move on? Would I then be robbing the future? Doubtful. These are my fingers. I'm done with them. Bless the graphite people.
