Gluing done with only a couple screw ups. And that's what sanding and bondo is for!

Started a project over the weekend. 24-ish pieces on my A1 Mini. I'll spend the week sanding, gluing, and trying to commit to actually painting it before calling it complete.

Okay fine, Walmart. I'll review my freakin' purchase.

Tomorrow marks a year since I lost the closest soul in my heart. I've carried myself forward b/c that's all I can do, but my heart has known it's not okay that the world is w/o him every moment since. I know this is part of grief, and I will march on. But I'll always stop to show he's forever loved.

Having played D2 so much over the years, this one is sad. Destiny 2 did a lot for me, and it satisfied an itch no other game could. Thanks for the memories, Bungie. I'll be back to see you off. Per Audacia Ad Astra. www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Ar...

Kicked, punched, set on fire, melted by a devarnisher, decapitated... safe to say I spent a lot of time getting sent to the big cheese wheel in the sky. Now YOU can send me there! MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is OUT NOW! Congrats and thank you to Fumi Games & PlaySide Studios!

Fun fact: I’ve spent ~50 hours grinding the demo of this game trying to get the speedrun record (lost to a sub-4:00 run, never cracked 4:20 myself). The echo mechanic in Causal Loop is so cool. I don’t usually speedrun, but this completely hijacked the puzzle-solving part of my brain.

I'm trying to teach them to smoke cigarettes while my partner is at work. This is Basker (left) and Tali (right). After losing Krillin, we decided to adopt this pair. Their 1st birthday's in 2 weeks. I'll always love Krillin and feel a lil bad having new pals, but I think he'd want me to carry on.

For months, my rock climbing buddy kept saying I'd love Cairn — a climbing game. Last night I'm on my IMDb. Turns out I was in Cairn the whole time. Thanks to @thegamebakers.com for having me — sorry IMDb had to remind me! I'm a zoologist. He makes a discovery. Nature makes one back.

I finally played through all of Ocarina of Time, and I have a few takeaways: 1. Bongo bongo can kiss my ass 2. There's a clear through-line of a lot of future Zelda game mechanics that all come back to OoT 3. I'm never not going to mute Navi in future replays with SoH Next up is MM with SoH2.

People of Bluesky, if I might borrow your ears for a moment. A WIP sneak peek of the upcoming game, Causal Loop, made by indie Mirebound Interactive (team of >6). I'm the lead, Bale, while Ryan Cooper voices Walter. Assets, music, etc are subject to change during dev. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W53k...
