I made a slow game where you get 12 action points twice a day to go slay monsters and stuff. It’s coming together nicely but I have no idea what to do with it.
I recently bought an old vhs camcorder at a thrift store. Spent the past week getting some new tapes, un-jamming the old one it came with, getting new batteries and wiring up a portable dvr. Now I’ve got an old video camera that takes some nice crusty video and I can easily capture the tape effects too. Now I gotta figure out what I want to record with it. I’ve done photography for over a decade, but I’ve never really been a video person. I’m also interested in circuit-bending, but I’m reluctant to risk it after the effort I put into this camera.

Taking care of leather furniture since I got me a vintage buffalo leather couch. It’s got a big grease stain that I’m thinking to try remove.
I want to start making small electronics repairs and maybe some clock repairs. It’s not that I like clocks as such more a lesson in patience.

I have been trying to pick back up watercolor. I did a daily series last year and posted them on bluesky for a couple months before a depressive episode sapped my will to paint. I’m not very good, but when I can adequately muzzle my perfectionism and just have fun with it, I really enjoy it. Maybe one day I might even be good at it.

This was not a: “tell me you have ADHD without telling me you have ADHD” haha.
Sounds awesome with all of these projects. I am the same way.
Who are you, the fucking Renaissance man? Goddamn.
I’ve been learning how to take care of the exterior of a car better.
I got to a stage now where I can clean it without messing up the clear, polish out defects when necessary and protect it with a bit of sealant.
God I wish I had a garage. It would be so much easier.
If you guys are interested, the Forensic Detailing Channel on youtube is a gem. Jon has loads of experience, no BS sponsors at all, and he’s really chill.
Also I wish birds would stop shitting on my car!!! 😭
I’ve been learning Irish for a few months now - incredibly difficult language but fascinating.
Also getting back into poetry and learning different techniques around writing. Not sure I always like some of the very rigid “rules” but it’s interesting to learn. I’ve never been particularly technical with my writing but it has opened my mind to trying new styles.
Been brushing up on mine too. :) What are you using? I had hit a wall but then came across the Sionnach app which is good but hitting a wall with it a bit too.
Learning to code and building a game in Godot. I’ve tried a few times before but all the coding projects I wanted to do required some form of interaction with a web browser and as soon as it got to that point it became so unenjoyable. But making a game has been very fun. My game is pretty shit right now and adding a feature breaks everything. I’m struggling to plan ahead which is a bit frustrating but it is what it is.
Learning the Microsoft Intune stack to fix the bad deployment process at work. Switching to full intune will actually make it easier to support mac and linux as alternative devices so im excited about that. Its feels bad knowing that this is destroying all the competition in this sector but its all closed source windows shit anyway so fuck em.
I’ve been working on a small-Web inspired server that hosts cryptographically authenticated files. It renders markdown as HTML, and supports CSS. It requires no user registration. Just generate a keypair, and start uploading your Web site.
I barely got the basic system put together and I need to refactor the backend since it was originally built to work with minio. Still some key features I want to finish up like moderation tools and custom domains. Trying to decide if it’s worth the effort.
