Oh shit October's over.

Here's my #orctober thread.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I FINALLY HAVE MY OWN A WORKBENCH!!!

If I can get my hands on a good chair and a fan/mobile aircon before any junk starts piling up on it then my workspace issues might be over.

I also want to install some shelves and a get a nice big dust/waterproof storage case.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Filled in a few more details and added a few more games to my Big List Of Free PC Games.

Did you know that the latter two Penny Arcade RPGs are now completely free? I only found that out today!

I know this is just supposed to be general advice but... I've never really been able to figure out what "Having something to say" actually means.
Do I even have something to say?
Something that matters?
Do I find that "something" through practice?
Or is it inherent?
How to make beautiful comics:

Step 1: Have something to say.
Step 2: See Step 1.

Trainwiz is a legend among legends! If I remember correctly, some of his mods included train-themed innovations which ended up being pretty big technical breakthroughs in Skyrim modding.

He's also an indie dev! Go buy his Freelancer-like indie space-sim 👇

If this isn't enough to convince you of the importance of gender affirming care, then you are a demon.
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Isaiah, one of the side characters in the webcomic I have cooking in the background.

This design is a bit old, and it's definitely not there yet.

It neads some sauce.

I was thinking about a leather jacket, but the main character already wears one.

Some illustration coursework.
I think starting digital art was a good way to get me going again, and it's a skillset I want to continue developing. But I have a good feeling that going back to traditional art is going to help me break through another one of the mental blocks holding me back.

It is not lost on me the irony that the same people saying bombing mosques, hospitals, and schools is acceptable because Hamas purportedly hides there simultaneously say synagogues cannot be peacefully protested when hosting events illegally selling stolen Palestinian land.

Godammit, I'm still not doing enough. I need to be stricter with myself. I need a routine. I need to prioritize.

Sure, I spent the whole of Saturday drawing, but none of it was for the things that have deadlines.
I need to make this work. I need to prove that I'm not the failure I think I am.
Godammit I need to work so much harder and so much faster.

Nah, y'know what? Not even that weird, all things considered.
It's really my own fault for still being surprised by New Blood shenanigans lmao.
