pisstol!!!!! he is one of my oldest oc's he is in a heist crew in the 80s and he love love looooves it

dog that i had a dream about

had a so nice monday today!! woke up at 1 pm (post-furry-rave-sleeping-in) with my gf to see that my roommatebff had picked up my fav giant cinnamon rolls for me and ma gf! after she went back home, i spent the rest of the afternoon by myself at the gay beach bobbing around in the lake v_v

i can tell that im past the teenage phase of hrt bc im not as into machine girl anymore

pisstol is one of my fav oc's but i dont draw him that often bc his color palette is so opposite of what i typically draw so im like maybe everyone will hate me and unfollow me if i do that

organizing promo stuff in my google drive for bloodrage and im like .. ok we look puh-retty cool actually

cinema is important bc whenever i catch myself doing some stupid self-sabotaging shit bc oh woe is me, i can be like STOP ur doing a banshees of inishirin thing

starting a collection of quotes like this

We're SO back on our 3rd year of Chicago Indie Game Showcase (CIGS)! Join us 9/13 at the Ravenswood Event Center! CIGS is a one-day con showcasing amazing indie games from Chicago & Midwest Area. We'll also have guest speakers, DJ sets, tattoo artists, and so much more! Tickets: bit.ly/450rk88

also i kinda wanna make a social party game i could sell on steam that other ppl could run at their own parties ... i think that'd be a fun challenge

the passion is there still tho, and i have more ideas!!! posting em for my own accountability: - bring bday game to a level i can show publicly - seance in hellheart church - i wanna make a NOT alt-ctrl game .. a sanctuary defense ... exploring smthg quite personal

ive been hoping to use this year as a time to polish up what i already have, but last year, functionally making 3 games from start-to-finish left me so burnt out that im like. still recovering.

bloodrage needs serious controller re-working to be able to show in the spaces i'd like (both con spaces and we wanna try bars...) im conceptually proud of PAN, but not proud of the rushed art and level balancing and i wanna polish up my bday party game to be smthg i can pitch to bars too!

its honestly been years since i brought a project out of "glorified game jam" and actual serious polish that i forgot im like. allowed to do that.

when its not summer and i cant live like this i start getting cranky and also when its the weekdays and i have work and i cant live like this i also get cranky

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

having a corporate job is great actually i saved a bunch of good noodle points and got $50 ulta stuff FOR FREEE

Explain your @ in art school i had a tumor fuckin with my adrenaline that made me constantly manic and so i'd work/play super hard til i dropped, like a windup toy jittering forward til it dies lol. winduptoy was taken tho. so was my tumor! (my work ethic is more sustainable now.)

she got TWO entire bars to sing happy bday to me this year during my bday barhopping, by exploiting each bar's PA system, and then very gently asked if this was enough attention bc if not she could be worse center of attention x center of attention relationship

thinking about how, on my birthday back in may, my girlfriend interrupted her band's show to make the entire venue sing happy birthday to me........ then afterwards, when i was hanging with her and she was signing posters, everyone kept also telling me happy birthday again .....
