He/him, bi, Vancouver based casual sculptor and crafter, sometimes NSFW so 18+, prepare to see lots of pictures of my cat. I will block you if I think you're a bot, or post generative @! In Vancouver and still masking? Maybe we could be friends.

Called in sick yesterday, had a fever and bad headache, I thought it let up by late afternoon but my brain is feeling really foggy this morning, so called in again today. I just hope I'm not so out of it that I lose the really good Project Zomboid run I had last night.

8/9 VR body trackers are functional! But I did not have time to get into VRchat and test them last night. Will try after work. I messed one up in assembly and didn't order enough extra parts so I'm waiting for those to come in, then I'll be able to finish my 10th tracker.
