My blog, Low Poly Mess, has plateaued. It currently makes £47 a month, but after fees I'd be surprised if I break even. If you hate it, fair enough, but if you enjoy reading it, I'd love your support (financial or spreading the word). I guess it's a hard sell, but I know it has fans! lowpolymess.com

For all the flaws I still can't help but see in this project, one encouraging thing remains certain at least: You couldn't do this with AI if you tried.

Walked past this earlier and realised it's been well over a year since I've had Gin. Feels good.
The nostalgia. I’ll be writing about this soon.

I think after the last 4 weeks, my head is reaching its exhaustion point. Nothing’s computing. So I’ll just be playing games for the rest of the day now.
