So basically I forgor.
It might happen again. -- 8 DEC 2024
So I kept thinking "oh I have a blog, I should update it...later!" and then whenever "later" rolled around, I'd forget... But that ends here...probably.
For the past few weeks, I've been grinding it out at my job. It's great because I'm getting paid, but not so great because I don't have a lot of time or energy to do things I actually care about. It's okay, though. Slorm finds a way.
Recently, I purchased the Rythmagica TDC10 drum controller. It's pretty damn good! Compared to the Hori drum controller, the TDC10 is far more sensitive and quiet, though it does have some sensor quirks that need fine-tuning...luckily, the drum also has a companion app specifically designed to make the fine-tuning quick and easy. I'm already seeing upscores! I think I should make a Taiko webpage at some point... ugh... website is truly a never-ending hell.
The tasks...
I've been chipping away at a drawing for the fourth anniversary of my main project Bolt from the Blue. I finally finished today, actually!
Bolt from the Blue has come so far... I really feel like things have finally started falling into place this year. Nothing wrong with having a silly sandbox world to play in, but having so much meaningful development in the worldbuilding and narrative has really made working on the project feel so fulfilling. I get really excited any time I work on or talk about my OCs. It's great!
Re: DSA prizes from the last blog post...I'm finally finished with old owed prizes, and now I'm onto new owed prizes, lol. Instead of little chibi fullbodies, I'm making fancam edits...which is ridiculous and hilarious.
What's fun?
I'm trying to get back into games that aren't Taiko no Tatsujin lmao. A bit of Webfishing, a dash of Star Ocean: Second Story R, a sprinkle of Balatro, etc. etc. I kinda get weird about playing video games now... My time feels really limited because of how much my job takes from me, but I can feel myself getting used to the schedule. Hoping to actually crack at my backlog!!!
