Gotta get back to the Godot mines and figure out what I'm missing to get Twitcher working.
I have so many things I want to make and that I can make for it once that integration is working.
Like if it's possible to run gamba-- I mean predictions from Godot, I've got some IDEAS.

Got my morning walk in.
Next:
Quick bit of exercise, then breakfast, then art stream for a while, then hopefully final website rebuild cleanup this afternoon, then working with my friend to record more voice lines for Bun-E03 this evening
Gonna make the most of today.

I want to get back into a regular art stream rhythm on Monday (and other) mornings, and that's a Super Promise™, but the battery is on empty and I think I'm nearing the end of my website rebuild arc. As informative as it's been I am so ready to knock that off my mental stack

"Saves" has to be the most ominous statistic on Bluesky, man
For a platform that's obsessed with sharing exact data on number of interactions and who interacted and "follow back" buttons here's the one button that tells you NOTHING

I'm not used to my art escaping containment, so.
Hey new folks! I'm coming off of crashing out hard last year and my current obsession is rebuilding my website. The CMS I'm using ain't cuttin' it.
It might take me a while to get back into regular art posts but I hope you stick along for the ride. 💙

People REALLY like Censa.

It's entirely a self-made barrier but man rebuilding my main website is where so much of my energy is going.
Having that central showcase for my art in a way I'm happy with is important.

Various sketches from yesterday's stream plus a bonus sketch I started over the weekend as I try to kick myself back into getting art done for real again

Had a good time getting back into the groove with some sketches on stream this morning.
Realized after I had some partial sketches of Censa I could have pulled up that people probably would have liked for two big reasons*, but that'll be for another day
(*Her large, round, soft eyes, obviously)

I'm kinda tired, think I might have some sort of sinus pain dealie going on having to do with weather changes, it's GDQ week, and I dicked around with my audio settings this weekend so I expect those to break in weird ways
Seems like a good time for a stream after I get some breakfast in me

Anyways I went to Cirque de Soleil today, and witnessing the heights of human creativity and expression once again moved me to tears.
A beautiful weave of daring acrobatics, dance, comedy, juggling, even a contortionist. Absolutely stunning performances by all involved.

Normally I write a sort of stream of consciousness blog at the start of the year and got out of bed this morning reflecting on what went okay last year, but fucking Christ on Ice if I write out what I'm feeling today I will be put on several government lists

Carried [unknown] lbs of groceries home that cost $[redacted] because of greedflation and walked by a store that caters to tech workers who moved here from the city in 2020 and spiked cost of living with a hat displayed that says "i can't afford to live here" and yes, I would like to burn everything

Building up some knowledge of webdev has been helpful in removing some other mental blocks.
Like learning how to make a page the way I want it > making pages for characters > making art for those character pages is how my brain operates instead of just making the art on its own.
Brains are weird.

I loaded up two translations onto my MiSTer the other day that I want to play on stream:
Linkle Liver Story, a Saturn anime action RPG featuring a fox girl, and Planet Laika, a story-heavy adventure game where the protagonist has multiple-personality disorder and all the characters have dog heads.
