DAY 8: Able to get to boss of Stage 5 on Normal. Found a pretty reliable path through what used to look like the scariest part of the Stage 5 gauntlet. Still plenty of Scariest Parts in the Stage 5 gauntlet though

Gave it a shot myself! Making some fucked-up snakes+churros.
One more question: in that vid, are you importing the resulting subsurfed+displaced+decimated meshes into Blender? Or using them as a displacement shader on a simpler mesh?

Got my shipment of @newedgeswordmag.bsky.social No. 5-7 and right away in 5 there's a banger of a story by Audrey Stollings: IN THE DISSOLVING CITY.
The language is delectable, yet sparse enough to avoid florid flourishes. Reminds me of Erikson's Malazan. Loved it. Can't wait to read more from her.

DAY 5: One run a day, every day. Got credits on Easy in 5 continues, switched back to Normal; Easy reduces the projectile speed & count of popcorn enemies, and that's where 70% of the difficulty comes from.
Doing better in Stage 4 but stalling out hard in 5. Stage 5 is fucking grueling

STRETCHING: Good practice, but feels like work; interrupts flow state; difficult to commit to
SLAPPING YOUR DESK+KNEES WITH BOTH HANDS ALONG WITH THE DRUMFILLS ON DISILLUSION - ABIDE THE STORM: So easy it's almost reflexive; break that maintains flow state; have u heard those drumfills brother

PROBLEM: Neck+shoulder pain triggered by holding an uncomfortable drawing posture for too long
SOLUTION: Listen to metal while drawing. Headbanging prevents me from locking my upper body

As previously foreshadowed, I'm spending the weekend reading a big stack of manga and taking notes. To start with, here are a bunch of notes on figure drawing, posing, and panel composition from Akira Toriyama's "Dragon Ball."

Had a similar feeling getting some brushtip faber castells in 7th grade. Very imprecise and every mark was permanent but it felt liberating! Couldn't fuss and try to "get it right" the way I reflexively tried to, so instead I got to experience how I actually wanted to draw for the first time

Really really good shader/material work on the walls, love how volumetric they look with just a bump/displacement map (?)

RIP... a decade ago I burned a CD of the Mountain Goats performance at Bottom of the Hill, from 2008, from their Heretic Pride tour. Definitive versions of those tracks IMO

Might be boss-babying, but I've always thought this track by criminally-undersung prog metal act GONIN-ISSHU was the inspiration for Baiken's theme in Guilty Gear Strive (Mirror of the World)

EINHANDER DAY 1: Made it to stage 6 in game's default allotment of continues (10). Getting game over here gives you a special ending, at least.
Stages 1-3: manageable if you quick-kill the bosses with grenades. Claustrophobic gauntlet in 4 is tricky. 5 is a nightmare, but I can see path to victory.
