Spent a bunch of time working on SAR yesterday. I didn't write as much as I would have liked but I did go through a ton of reference material and made a bunch of lists for rules and ideas I thought the game needs. So I'm taking that as a win.

The worst thing about developing rules for my game is reading my handwritten notes. When writing them I was absolutely sure that I would be able to read them when transferring it to drive file. I was wrong, I was so wrong. It's Scarab before Ibis right?

I implore you to continue developing your games, do not stop because of the tariffs now. Your creativity and ideas will be needed in the future, our world was built on games and stories we need to continue those very human traditions.

Spent a lot of time working on the SDF-1 brick kit this weekend. I didn't get to SAR but I am aiming to work on it the rest of the week. I am not letting this tariff bullshit stop me from working on my game.

So two thing, one, the SDF-1 Brink kit is huge (It's standing next to the 1/3000 Bandai SDF-1 from 84) and two I'm only at the half way point... probably another two weekends worth of work.

I need to work on a book cover tonight and make some corrections and then my goal this weekend is to work on SAR, build my Macross brick kit, and relax with Alison and our cat. I want to try and write out some introduction text for the game as well as try and write out specialist descriptions.

Tonight the plan is to finish my first pass on my clients book. It looks damn good so far. It was a long book and took a bit to layout. Looking forward to handing this off to my client to look over and hit me up with corrections/changes.

Really proud to back pretty much anything @bananachangames.bsky.social does. This looks like it's going to be another really fun ride. Check it! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

This weekend, I was working on a lego set and had an idea for hacking in SAR. I mulled it over for a bit but I think I came up with something cool that fits the feel of the game. Spent an hour or so fleshing the idea out more and I think its a really good addition.

I bought the SDF-1 Macross lego-like kit to try and help me divert my attention from the horrible shit going on. It 4900 pieces and should stand around 18 inches tall... I was not ready for the box...

Social media broke me hard last night and I just broke down and started crying. There is just too much wrong with this country, I have so much rage, anger, and frustration each of those filled to the brim with fear. I need to stay away from social media and focus on my own projects for a bit.

I’ll have what Cory Booker’s having. 💙👏🙌 www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Thought I had three cavities but it turned out to be one! Bonus!

I am so fucking tired. I am so over worked and burned out. I need my vacation in Japan now, because I am so close to just walking out of my job and that vacation is the only thing I am looking forward to now.

I've spent what little free time I had at work these past few days to put SAR on Google Docs. This was a humbling because spell check lit it up light a Xmas Tree lol. I am at the point where I am going to be looking for help in shaping this from my mess of ideas into a playable RPG.

Our indie game about cats doing cat stuff is now live! Read destiny in the stars, tangle with ghosts, and knock glasses off tables. Grab the PDF for as little as $10, or go all-out and get custom art of your own cat added to the game. @wetinkgames.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/wet...

I feel like emotional and physical garbage right now. I should have stayed home today for a mental health day. I am so out of sorts and I need to rest at least for one full day.

I need a new job. I am counting down the days until my Japan trip so I can quit the week after I return. I am so sick and fucking tired of this job, all it's family run bullshit, and feeling like worthless garbage all the time there.

I so tired. Physically, mentally, and I feel like I am going through the motions lately. I really want to collapse. I don't sleep well at all. I am pushing myself to get freelance projects complete but it's been a struggle to even start let alone work, I am functionally burned-out... ctd.

In my defense I was high when I searched this out and ordered it

I am so tired. I am overly frustrated with a project and I just want it to be over. I need to get back to another project. I really need a 37 Centauri Work Day to be able to make progress in all my projects.

i think we should be more alarmed about this kind of thing as an ideological data point indicating who is actually running the country

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

When I go to Japan later this year, if the TSA looks at my social media, they will never let me back in, I'm not just critical of Felon 47, I FUCKING HATE THE NAZI!

Hey all, I'm the graphic designer on this project and it's a fun one! If you enjoy Star Trek with a more fun slant, then this is the RPG for you! Geoff created a whole season of adventures, now is the best time to jump in and explore the universe with your friends!

On my way home I told myself I will spend as little as possible for the foreseeable future... and then I bought two VIP tickets to Babymetal... yeah I failed, but I fucking won!
