SnappyZants @ SPOOKY SEASON!
@snazzypants.bsky.social
FQA tester, cat-dad, and possibly 3 raccoons in a trenchcoat. I play D&D and M:tG, and cosplay on occasion.
Off to M:tG night. Got a spread of decks with me tonight. Running Y'shtola, Golbez, Malcolm/Vial-Smasher, Gev, Zur (classic), Dina (classic), and Far Fortune. Good mix of aggro, combo, and control depending on what my pod wants.
They sold me a machine to drink my coffee for me, then I had to buy their caffeine injectables to get the same buzz, but it shaved 12 minutes off my morning routine which I use to earn 381 extra cents for my employer. At the end of the year I'll get a bag of gourmet coffee beans for my hard work.
Got the apartment to myself this weekend, so I'm going to spend it baking and working on the Green Lantern cosplay for Halloween. Chestpiece is just going to be a green variation on my Megaman cosplay, so I don't need to redesign much.
3d printer's down for at least another day. Removed the old print head, but didn't realize I need thermal grease to install the new one properly.
The hotend on my 3d printer crapped out almost as soon as I finished printing the ring (specifically the temperature sensor).
Just need to add the magnets to the ring to hold everything together, and it'll be good to go. #greenlanternring #greenlantern #inbrightestday #cosplaywip #3dprinting
Managed two full sets of lateral raises, two full sets of tricep extensions, and three sets of sets of squats last night, which is a small but steady improvement from when I started.
Seán Ferrick@seanferrick.bsky.social · 6d agoI was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.
Got the wee magnets and the LED for the ring, so at least that's some good news for today. Currently printing up a slightly resized housing for the LED since the other one was a bit too tight of a fit.
Gonna steal a few friends to assist me with coming up with prompts for the card game I'm working on (self-contained game using cards, not a TCG).
Splurged the other day and just bought the Ingris Stingerquill card myself, along with some stuff for Zoyowa. Now to pop Ingris into Far Fortune, and build and sleeve up Zoyowa.
Okay, tomorrow evening, I'll get the foam I need for the Green Lantern chestpiece, as well as print out the chest emblem. Probably also going to lightly dremel the ring so the parts fit a bit smoother.
I poked around in TinkerCAD and made myself a design for a Green Lantern ring that has space for a small LED. Might drill a couple small holes and pop a magnet or two in there to keep the LED housing in the middle from sliding out, but we'll see how it all fits once it's printed.
Tricep extensions and plank today. Can still only manage 17 extensions total and a 30-second plank, but better than nothing.
Found one of the LED strips I bought for another cosplay a few years ago along with the remote for it. One less thing I need to buy for the Green Lantern cosplay. Just need to get one of those mini power banks for it, since it's USB-powered.
Finally managed two full sets of lateral raises with my 15lbs dumbbells.
One thing I really want to see from Lanterns (or whenever the next live-action Green Lantern outing is) is to have a character sincerely recite the Oath. Not sarcastic or half-hearted, but really mean it.
New Tinybones would go great in my Zoyowa decklist. Nobody gets cards, but everybody but me is punished for it.
Probably going to do a Green Lantern variation of Halloween. Print a ring and a power battery out of translucent filament, shove some LEDs in there, add a green variation on my Megaman chestplate with some LEDS in the Lantern logo, a domino mask, and toss my leather jacket overtop.
Went 1-2-0 at the pre-release. Most games were pretty close, just couldn't draw my big threats in time. Probably should've gone Dimir instead of Izzet Aggro. Ah, well. Still got a booster out of it (in addition to the pre-release pack).
Didn't pull the Stingerquill Sphinx, but I got the Jace, Reality Sculptor, a couple Way of the Pyromancer, and a Winter, Team Player so guess I'm running Izzet spellslinger/aggro.
Reality Fracture Prerelease! Hoping to pull and run Ingris Stingerquill, but we'll see what I pull.
Maybe around Christmas I'll finally go get my ear pierced.
I should start streaming again at some point. What I'd stream, I have no idea. Probably just Risk of Rain 2 solo runs or running through my FFXIV MQs.
Squats and tricep raises today. Squats are easy enough right now, so I can probably add a bit of weight to them. Tricep extensions have my arms feeling like lead, though. Can't fully complete 2 sets of 10 with my 15lbs weight yet. Something to work on for my fitness goal, though.
