The biggest difficulty I've had with my story is me. I've been depressed to a point where I'll get home and stare at the wall until I need to go to bed. It eats away at me, because a friend, my editor, pushed me to do it after talking about it for years. Depression has been eating at me.

I snorted raisin bran once. I like firearms, cars, video games and breaking things. Not to be taken seriously. I stole a riot shield once. Avatar by @peachyeggs.bsky.social https://allmylinks.com/isolavetv
Yeah he's still in there, but now there's a rather excited guard talking to him about hypotheticals
What kills me about having writers block is where I left off in my drafts. He's just sitting in a holding cell wondering about what's going to happen next. I wonder if people have passing thoughts like that, unfinished drafts being stalled in time, in universe. I'll get back to it soon, I hope.
And there it is, the fucking killshot. They killed id software.
THIS STUDIO MADE THE FAMOUS IDTECH ENGINE AND YOU'RE FORCING THEM TO USE FUCKING **UNREAL**??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? FUCK YOU

Night-Runners' private alpha is infuriating. I don't know why they fucked up the AI with such drastic rubber banding. It'll absolutely kill the game on release if the AI continues to work like that. Absolutely heartbreaking with how on point the anemoic past vibes are.
I'll stop the spam in a moment, the medication has been helping. archiveofourown.org/works/654693...

I also changed the title of the story to something less placeholder, and actually started using my pen name. archiveofourown.org/works/654693...

Fuck it, you can't schedule posts, so we're just going to shotgun these out today, because I'm tired of sitting on them and being anxious about them archiveofourown.org/works/654693...

Alright, I'm getting off my ass. I'm posting more throughout this week. I also found a title that I want to settle on for this first "book". I'm referring to it as Foundation. Here's Interlude 5. archiveofourown.org/works/654693...

I read the other day that time seems to speed up as you get older, because you get used to doing the same thing again and again. I built a gun rack, it felt like forever, but only took an hour. It was nice. I'm on some medication and feel better. I have chapters to release. This week. Hopefully.
My for you tab was really horny so I started to avoid thirst trap posts to fix it but then it switched to America politics so I started liking thirst traps again because that's better than politics but now it's thirst traps AND American politics and now I get horny whenever someone mentions Iran.
After 9 yeareals, it's finally my turn to post the "a thousand cereals" clip, seeing as how I'm the idiot who made it.
I bought Balatro. I understand Balatro now after it took about 6 hours of my time.
I spent the last few days playing through Dark Interval's Part 2 and Raising the Bar Redux's Division 3 updates. It was nice to go back to playing some kind of Source mod after so long, and very fascinating to see two different interpretations of mostly the same source material.
I'm still writing my story, but something happened in the last couple of months that made me uncomfortable. One of my characters was kind of based off of a not-friend-anymore, and its kind of hard to disassociate that character, because they were based on my perception of them.
I really need to get around to getting some key art done for my story. Like the story, I have ideas trapped in my head that I have a vague idea of what I want. Unlike writing, I have absolutely no artistic skill, so I'm going to have to grovel and shove money at my art friends. Worth it, though.
New chapter is up. Started to explore more of the main character and flesh him and his issues out, and now he's starting to face a world they never knew. Also, I wanted to start using my pen name, so that's on there as well. Lemme know what you think. archiveofourown.org/works/654693...

We're at the 15k word count of the story. It's honestly been nice sinking some effort into an artistic endeavor. New part soonish.
My story has about 100 hits on it. It doesn't seem like much, but if you found it through here, or other places I've posted or talked about it, it means a lot. Thank you.
Wrote another part of the story. Hopefully I can start getting these out a little quicker. archiveofourown.org/works/654693...

New chapter out. The next parts I'll release in small chunks.

The Stop Killing Games initiative is giving up because of a relentless campaign of misinformation and verbal abuse largely directed by PirateSoftware/Thor, which has completely tanked their momentum and burned out its founder. youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo
