Enshrouded looks so different with graphics; grass exists, block edges aren't flat, window glass exists. I wanna show off what I built with graphics at minimum but now not.

After a month of messing with Godot Engine I've concluded I don't like it. It wants to stress inheritance and reuse but makes it as complicated and indirect as I've ever seen. Refactoring is a pain. The intellisense ain't great and it doesn't have a format code button.

I've downloaded Game Maker, but first I wanna make sure I still remember how to draw.

I also deactivated my twitter b/c Nov 15 twitter says it can use anything posted on it for generative ai for free.

Been learning Godot Engine. Did the 2D tutorial then learned basic menus and a snapping rectangular grid system. ... But I need non-rectangular shapes lining up. Gonna try some 2D object collision detection instead of matrix math.

Status update: I'm still alive. Haven't drawn in months. I say I want to create but I haven't sat and done anything yet. AI images killed a lot of drive and I've started to feel dumber by using it. Why make a silly drawing when I can plug in a dumbed down idea and sort of get what I want with no effort? Tomorrow I should have 3 hours of nothing to do. Hopefully I'll get a Scint or Nikki drawing in there.

If I don't finish what I'm working on this weekend, I'm abandoning it and what I got.

[lockersnap]

I haven't made anything in like 2 months. I got an infection and learned how to generate images with ai. Not proud of that last one. Will probably use it for ttrpg throwaway token creation. But tonight I'm finally gonna start on something again. I'll probably be "wow this is hard, I suck again" but dang it it'll be more an accomplishment than knowing what the tags are in a particular algorithms stolen art book. They don't all know what a gambeson is.

Spell Attack and Spell DC added, but more importantly damage calculating. Learning character string to arithmetic to dice character string and getting it right was the hardest. I do have a drawing I need to finish. Ideally I'll post that next.

[lockersnap]

Today was figuring out how to do an n long modular list. Next is figuring out the formula for damage calculation and resist refactoring the 17 skills into a dataclass and a for loop.

I haven't been drawing but am making a python app to scale creatures in pathfinder 2e. Need to implement n number weaknesses, resistances, and attacks. Also damage and spell rank scaling. And nicer output/exports. This here is a scaled Ogre Warrior.

The older I get, the more important I realize the heart of a group is.

Surgery can cause susceptibility to inflammation caused by stress and forgetting to drink liquids, even if that surgery was years ago. Last few days have sucked; i should've taken medicine earlier. Tonight I'll draw at least a face.

I need to get better at saying a drawing is done / not completing a drawing. 'Cause those should be the same thing.

I’ve been moody lately and not in a great state.  Bottled up and lonely so I’m gonna share.

I listen to this album a lot.  It’s an album from the perspective of someone who commits suicide due to unrequited love and their spirit lingers. It’s a beautiful depiction of loss, joy, acceptance, disappointment, triteness, and purpose with a ghostly balance on the decision; not endorsing it with a tragic desire to convey the knowledge they can’t share. Look, as far as thought experiments go, this is creative and well done.

I had trouble sleeping last night. Then when I finally fell asleep I dreamt I was having trouble falling asleep. I don't have that fan I was messing with anymore!

Wanna tangibly feel self-imposed societal pressure innocuously?  Walk backwards in public.

Just turn around in a nice calm residential area following the sidewalk. No one cares, no one gets hurt, there is nothing wrong with what you’re doing. But with every car that passes by, every person sitting outside you pass, they see you. You’re not in haste or doing anything that makes it seem like your actions are for anything. All they gather is you’re some person walking backwards for no reason. You are now an other.
