The winner of the Auction for The Sword That Swings Both Ways has revealed they were also the winner of the Giant X-Acto blade I made ages ago, and that they made a case for it! (This came up because I am making a case for TSTSBW).

Listening to the soundtrack of Blasphemous, one of the kids asks "what's that?" So I show them trailer. "You see kids, I like this game cause it's obvious from the imagery that it was made by recovering Catholics like myself" Son; "So did you quit Catholicism cause the boss fights were too hard?"

45 mins in, you notice with a sigh that the cat rescue video has "part 1" in the title.

Michaelcthulhu @michaelcthulhu.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Morning poop make me feel/sound/smell like a pirate firing a blunderbuss. Evening poop make me feel like youtuber documenting hour long attempt to rescue uncooperative cat from storm drain.

A distressing thought I have sometimes; None of these assholes destroying the world have good lives, they're obviously all miserable. And I can't decide if that makes it even sadder or not, like, would it actually be better if these monsters were at least having fun torturing all of us?

I bet that's not as true as you think it is!

My aspiration was always to parasitically harvest off a company I didn't give a shit about to sponsor the life I actually wanted to lead. In that respect I have failed and now I am merely a starving artist type.

Michaelcthulhu @michaelcthulhu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I think the difference is, most societies accept and even PROMOTE that if you take no form of Physical Exercise (as an adult) the results for your well being will be disastrous. My two cents is the same is true for Art.

Michaelcthulhu @michaelcthulhu.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

It really is good for you! It doesn't have to be "good", whatever that means. These days especially, a clanker can shit out any amount of "realistic" looking art and the messiest kids drawing is better than that.

Michaelcthulhu @michaelcthulhu.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Now there's a depressing thought I just had; what percentage of people do you think leave school and then never draw a picture ever again? Like not a map or a diagram, not a dick on the forehead of a sleeping "friend", but an actual free hand piece of art? Even a doodle?

Last night, dogs make ruckus, I go downstairs, can't figure out why, then hear "knock knock" on window. Sometimes big bird land in feeder, make it hit off window. But this too many knocks. I get flaslight and draw curtain. Artists depiction of what I see (pretend it night time outside).

Was filming a short yesterday, tripods have a thing to turn the top sideways, but it leaves the tripod unbalanced. THE TRIPOD FELL OVER, SNAPPING THE FLIP OUT SCREEN CLEAN OFF. Miraculously I was able to reattach BUT I didn't want that to happen again so I designed a better shoe/mount thingy.

In this modern age of social media where more people know how to shallowly make a thing look good than at any point in human history, why are so many cheap horror movies lit like they're the porn parody of a better movie? Film Noir had moody lighting to HIDE how cheap the sets were! 80 years ago!

Big spooder taken up residence in the roller door of workshop. Tired of destroying him house with my head. Stressful for both of us. So I hung up string to avoid.

The reason I forgot to post a short yesterday is I was dealing with a mouse emergency in my workshop. More details in comments cause apparently you can't mix puctures and videos?

Anyone seen the show Widow's Bay?. I liked it enough that I mocked up this fictional boardgame from it for my own amusement. Gonna leave it on shelf of local game store and walk away.

One of my favorite comments by someone I had to send to the shadow realm was "UGH, why do the GAYS have to make everything so SEXUAL!" Sir, I am reading on the toilet, if you are stimulated that is journey of self discovery you need to make for yourself. youtube.com/shorts/_tchj...

The sword is finished, as of last night. It is sort of historically accurate. Will explain in video which will release Tuesday.

All the parts of the... object... are connected. Need clean up tomorrow. I am very sweaty. Very little June left. I need hydrate. 10 types of steel. 3 types of welding.

Did anyone ask me to make one of those weird medieval dueling combo multitool weapons for Pride month? No. Is it a good idea? Also no.

It's time to put this on pause to make a thingy for Pride Month!

In honor of May the 4th big shout out to my friend who hadn't seen ANY Lord Of The Rings related anything who then went to see Lord Of The Rings THE MUSICAL so I sent them this after and said "now that you know the plot of lotr I can share memes about it with you" because I treat my friends poorly.

The vet we got to said there was no sign of infection, that she was probably choking on something, so the O2 probably helped her get through it. A Oxyacetylene regulator is NOT designed for the ultra low levels you need with a Cpap so it was tricky getting it to maintain such a low pressure.

Michaelcthulhu @michaelcthulhu.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

Yesterday one of my girlfriends mice was acting weird, mouth open, gadping for breath. She's an elderly mouse so could be almost anything but they do get respiratory infections pretty easily. While she called a vet I Macguyvered up a mouse cpap machine. She seemed to do better in the O2 flooded box.

The Vinyl design was one piece, but the etching was done by moving a sponge down the blade.
