Dear Diary

A 3580-post collection

Tuesday, Patreon and Content Creation

My kind Patrons are getting more storydump and world-building today. I am doing at least ONE more chamber in TaleSpire and one more thing for Alfarell, then I shall either sit and write or go make a thing in the Minecraft server or fart around.

Tale Foundry should be activating their writing competition at some point and I have a thing ready to go. You see it first on my Patreon if you're paying enough. Or if you're a part of the TaleFoundry peeps who do this every week.

Plug plug plug plug plug...

Ahem.

Beloved gets paid today, and we will almost immediately spend most of it on frivolities like food. Ugh. I may or may not be able to pay for Jolie's dental, this pay cycle. I want to, but needs of the fam have an expense priority in Bill Season.

If only I had JK Rowling's levels of money without having to be an absolute canker-sore of a human being...

Sigh.

Some poor transman was beaten up in a male restroom for apparently "using the wrong restroom". He wants to press charges and there will be a huge debate about whether or not he is "really trans" or if the assaulters can use the "gay panic" quote-unquote "defense".

Argh.

America's headed for hell in a handbasket and we really need to distance ourselves from their collective bullshit before we hop in the basket with them.

It's almost bus o'clock. I shall don my Fluffy Coat and ready my laptop and see where my muse takes me. [who are we kidding? It's straight to tieflings] And thereafter, I shall post today's tale, the Patreon stuff, and move along with content.

Long Monday, Low Expectations

The crew and I have attempted to play several games in one sesh. Rutrum got sick of Minecraft, and I get it. The game can get on your pecs if you're not careful.

But we had fun, anyway.

The remainder of my morning is dedicated to the story stream, then letting Beloved take over the parenting at least for this morning. Then I must discuss how to remove mods from our versions of Satisfactory. Or at least turning them off.

Because sharing

Sunday, Game Nite

We're still two more days away from payday, and squirming our way out from under the meteor of bills that have had us more or less hostage this past couple of weeks.

Life gets expensive.

Late stage capitalism bites big wind.

Come payday, we can get nice things. I might even be able to pay for Jolie's three-figure dental bill. I already feel guilty about waiting this long to get it fixed.

I'm also running out of pre-made meals and we are

Saturday, teh PLN?

I need a wrist support now that I'm playing mouse-heavy games with my crew of international maniacs. Beloved might know where I can get one that has not been transformed into Anime Boobs.

I'm still calling it a tiddy rest. Because that's where my brain lives.

Today, I am actually going to learn how Unreal Engine works. Play around with it. If I can't make Kosh, I can at least make his brother. And then twiddle around somewhere else with the build

Friday, Unfuckening But Tired

I have a catio to clean, a bikkie to make, and I'm already working on minimum sleep. WHEEEEEeeeeeee....

Coffee is not working rn.

I might just do my stream and then slug off because so dang tired. Get to the other stuff when I'm properly rested.

This, naturally, is a cue for everyone with a dirt bike or a motorcycle to have fun times in a round-robin noise-off.

Thursday, Today I'm Learnding

Today's the day I don't have much else going on, so I shall be dragging myself through A Basic Accomplishment in A Free Software, with the long-term goal of Doing A Thing.

I have animation projects in the back of my head and the potential to actually make them be real in my future. It's all up to what I'm capable of doing and how frustrated I get with it in the process. I'm a stubborn bean so it might actually be

Wednesday, Wordpress and Nonsense

I don't know what to write for this week's wordpress, so it will likely be a copy/pasta of the fanficcy version of A Devil's Tale. It feels lazy, but I am also stuck for what to write that doesn't sound like even more angry leftist ranting against the fascist machine grinding everyone into the dirt.

I think there's plenty of opinions about that flying around right now.

As I did yesterday, I will concentrate on my content and perhaps have a

Tuesday, Patreon and Continuing Issues

Despite the best medicine I could find, Beloved is still fighting the cough. Might be time to visit a quack about it. Blargh.

I am powering on with A Devil's Tale and having fun playing with the adventures of my devilish dude, time, and the lady he will eventually meet, love, and marry.

I will eventually get back to writing the last book of my planned trilogy. Forced writing is bad writing, so going with the fun stuff is helping me stay

Long Monday Again!

Tale Foundry has moved their stream to this oncoming Saturday, so I didn't have to fret about that. Yet. I still have chambering and world building and NOW I have a shared Minecraft world with my fellow players to have fun with. Which means some hours dedicated to a duplicate world in Creative Mode to work out what the hell I'm doing with the hole I found to inhabit.

Where to put the roast chicken machine, where to put the roast beef

Sunday, Game Night PLNs

There's no D&D this week. We're playing Minecraft together. Which means that I have to make a new profile for that noise. That will be happening after the story post goes through.

Today, I will be messing around on Minecraft. Working on my potential base in Creative. Or writing some more A Devil's Tale because it has me by the Muse.

The Lurgi that Miss Chaos brought home has definitely hit Beloved hard. So much so that she has to

Saturday, Plots and PLNs

We had some fun, last night. One near-arsehole encounter and a lot of tromping around in the rain, with dinner and gasbagging to follow. You can guess that this has done me some ow's for today.

Taking things easy, all the same. Taking my time, taking some rest, and possibly taking some tea.

...and I just now realised that I forgot to do the story read today. AUGH.

I will read tomorrow. Not that many people seem to either care or mind.

Friday, Evening PLNs

I borked my wrist by sleeping on it wrong, so this morning was more painful than it needed to be. I should get some medication on that noise.

My PLNs today include habitat unfuckening, resting my poor sore wrist, followed by some fun times with Beloved for a special event.

I might take a nap in the middle of the day so that I have the energy for that.

But my focus for now is delivering that delicious content. So let's get

Wednesday, Wordpress and Date PLNs

I was going to talk about the rights and responsibilities of the Galactic Alliance, but given recent political shenanigans, I kind'a have to go off about the hypocrisy of the alleged "Pro Life" movement.

They're not pro life. They're pro cruelty.

I will go into this in depth. Including some of the arguments they [and MeMum] use against abortion.

It's all about one group of people making decisions about other people's lives. That's all there is about it. The instant you let

Tuesday, Patreon and Building Things

I have Patreon posts to make, chambers and world to build, red tape to unriddle... lots and lots of things to do.

MeMum has battled financial nonsense and why she owes Mr Taxman a huge honk of moolah. Going through the liveplay of that was... "fun".

I did offer to help with the websites and how to print emails and all other technogeek things, but she'd rather whimper in a corner. I empathise entirely. I, too, would like to whimper in a
