I’m writing for Inktober this year. A coworker got us into it at work. Anyways, here’s my piece for the prompt “Mustache” #Inktober2025 #writing

Decided to look through Art Station for some fantasy background imagery to reference for company meeting backgrounds and all the AI imagery is first… can’t exclude it because they don’t use that tag… That’s depressing. Anyone have art sites that prevent AI artwork from being featured?

Following the post from yesterday. A few friends and I had been discussing the possibility of a Destiny 2 and MTG crossover. Perhaps not so cartoony but here’s a card version of Oryx, based on Toxrill’s abilities, for a Commander Deck. #Destiny2 #Destiny2AOTW #MagicTheGathering

Opened up the iPad and fought my crippling perfectionism to draw for the first time in forever. Oryx creating their taken as if it were a mini-fig army. Drawn by me in Procreate. #Destiny2 #Destiny2Art #TakenKing

Seeing coworkers run my rendering work through AI to “show how it’s more efficient” really hurts I don’t do my work to be efficient. I do it because I ENJOY it. I don’t wanna turn my Viz work into a prompt exercise and sit for 8 hours a day writing thousands of prompts.. I wanna actually CREATE.

Disney+ has adopted Netflix’s household paywall, once we finish Andor I’m seriously considering dropping it altogether..

Ngl they really missed an opportunity here. This thing should’ve been called the “Skullverizer” #DOOM

It turns out I was not quite ready for the #Severance finale… lol

Working on something 👀 Who else is ready for the season finale of #Severance this week? Rendered with #Lumion

Finished Wind and Truth - Book 5 of #StormlightArchive finally. I think I went through the 5 stages of grief in the last few chapters. And there’s gonna be 5 more books?? Jeebs.

This was B for Bananas. Or maybe F for F-A-C-I-S-T-S would be more apt.

For being 22 years old - the VFX at the end of Return of the King are still some of the best in film history.

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Short and easy rendering exercise. Built in #SketchUp and rendered in #Lumion #Severance has us obsessed over here

It’s not really something to joke about but… All of us neurodivergent people in the work camps are gonna mentally destroy the overseers by bouncing our respective vocal stims off each other 😂

When you operate with extensive burnout you start gauging how many productive hours a day you have. I usually can get 5 if I feel good - but if it’s intensive work my brain absolutely crashes afterwards

I learned a valuable lesson with THC seltzers last night. One potency in one brand does not mean the others are the same lol Don’t go to a stronger potency AND switch brands. One that affects you like CBD doesn’t mean the other won’t get you violently high 😅

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Really enjoyed the new dungeon! First time I’ve played for more than an hour in a long time. It helps having the legendary @sconesandcoffee.bsky.social and Werewolf carrying me through it.

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Ngl I kinda loathe how small my #Destiny2 playtime has gotten. Idk how to energize myself either. I used to play multiple hours daily. Now it’s barely an hour every other month.

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Sometimes I get sent GenAI recommendations - tools to use in my work - by coworkers who’ve embraced using AI in their jobs. I like my work. I like the steps, the process, and I already strive to make it as efficient as possible. Why tf would I want to use GenAI to does the parts I love to do?

Saw @pattonoswalt.bsky.social in Charleston tonight! My wife’s favorite comedian and she had me watch/listen to all his specials leading up to tonight. She got so excited she almost threw up lmao

So did I miss something? The Wrath album by #LambOfGod has always only ever had 11 songs to my memory, ending with Reclamation. Today.. I’m listening to it and there’s 3 extra songs on Spotify? Am I a victim of #QuantumImmortality?? Since when did this album have 14 songs instead of 11…

South Carolina investing money into Nuclear (clean energy) 🙂 Revitalizing a defunct plant near us 😃 Using the power generated for AI development ☹️

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

I have a lot of things I enjoy to do - but the consistent problem I’ve had my whole life is that every skill I’ve developed is underlined by a “I don’t exist without this” mentality. It creates pockets of creativity and happiness, that are equally balanced by slumps of self loathing.

Alright. After 4 books of the Stormlight Archive. Sanderson has finally made me shed a tear

What law of the universe is it that anything that will cause you pain has to hit right as you go to bed. Currently up feeling like a few of my teeth are being pulled and the night is still pretty young.

Was putting in a few hours after work to get some Unreal Engine learning under my belt, but I hit a wall with material editing (datasmith material instances and parent materials) Deleted something, which broke everything, couldn’t undo, closed to revert to last saved thing, auto save didn’t save…

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

We’re faster getting to the boss of Castelle, but with the bugs we somehow got soft-locked and couldn’t complete the mission. This is our 4th attempt. It’s losing its fun value lol #BlackOps6 #Zombies

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Loaded #MW2019 for the first time in a long time.. too long. That game was phenomenal and anyone who hates on it is kidding themselves. The UI is simple and legible. The gunplay is engaging and tactical. The skins were great - best gold camo by far. And I can discern players from backgrounds

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Prop Hunt Players just don’t look up do they? #BlackOps6

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

This game.. This game was AMAZING! What an ending. To think “walking simulator” or “mailman simulator” turns into such a story. I get it now. Can’t wait for the next #DeathStranding

Writing my novel is going to be the most difficult thing for me to write. I told myself 5 years, but it can easily take longer - especially since currently I’m in year 3. It flowed out of me 2 years ago, and now I’m trying to build the world, develop the characters, and expand the themes.. 1of2

This little guy made it off the backlog shelf and onto the assembled shelf last night. 2025 gonna be the year of quality time with my wife.

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 25/12/2024

It was a random choice but I introduced my wife to the movie Jupiter Ascending tonight. First time in years I’d watched it. The thing about this movie is the lore has amazing potential and it’s just so meh of a movie. I know I’m dumb most of the time but.. yeah it’s just.. Meh.

Any writers out there on #writersky use Miro for their world/story/character building? I use it all the time for work and design projects and I’m trying to get into it for giving some structure to my #writing method.

At the Airport, looking up at the tv and reading the subtitles on this Tech/Crypto news channel they have it on. And it’s all gibberish about how *company name here* is demonstrating a new AI that magically covers ALL potential markets and industries foreign and domestic. Idk sounds made up.

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

A moment ago I had to be reminded that people just don’t…. Think critically, logically, or thoroughly enough. And I hate that I have to live life with this protective lack of hope that I can trust things to be read, considered, and responded to in a conscious way.

South Korea’s parliament has impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his martial law decree, passing the motion 204-85. PM Han Duck-soo takes over as Yoon’s powers are suspended. The Constitutional Court has 180 days to decide Yoon’s fate. If removed, a new election must be held in 60 days.

Gonna have to go through who I’ve followed recently because my feed is all gotcha politics headlines now and that was one of the main reasons I ditched the other site..

Travis Taylor @thearkitekt.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Im obsessed with Death Stranding. I’ve since unlocked the Truck, which means I can carry 4x the amount I’m carrying here. Completing orders, placing/leveling roads and structures, and getting stars at all the settlements.. it’s basically a cozy game. #DeathStranding

May be a bit overkill for a home office, but with back issues I’ve been needing a new chair for a while. Parents came through for an early holiday gift 😎😎

There are days where I think less of myself because I see people who read a ton of books, and it’s taken me a year to get through Stormlight Archive. It’s the only series I’ve touched in that year and I’m only about 1/4 of the way through ROW. But then I remember that’s 4000 pages 😅

“Teachable moment” is corpo-speak for getting chewed out. Idk if my adderall could’ve even prevented the mistake when reading a 2000 word email lol Monday wins!

Watching Ambessa’s speech in Episode 3 of #Arcane and the music sounded familiar. It’s very similar to Clu’s speech in Tron Legacy youtu.be/8lgMtzDheQ0?...
