I'm at that point in the personal project where I've squeezed every possible drop of dopamine out of it and I just have to stop for a little bit and let the tolerance go down before I can continue.

I have been making digital art since the days you had to plot pixels out on graph paper and hand-calculate their hexadecimal value to poke screen memory addresses while some old guy tells you the computer does all the work. https://linktr.ee/erickveil

I'd be excited to read it!
Cool thing about creativity: I couldnβt find a game that scratched an itch, so I made it.
Bok is going to have to stand guard one night so we can all see what Ming's jammies look like. Is he a boxers and tee shirt guy? Or one of those satin button-downs?

Got into the Bucktown Art Fest by submitting my ceramics alone and I am so proud. Itβs been such a healing practice and I am grateful for the people itβs brought into my life.
It comes in handy, but it can frustrate people when they come to me to show me the broken thing and then I just Fonzie-punch it and it works.
I loved this game back in the day. I haven't found anything like it since. Like slot cars, but with track terrain types and wheel types and a track editor and a car editor.
Wish I could give you deeper advice. I tend to have a magic ability where technology "just works" for me when I press random buttons.
Try disable USB permissions for whatever in the developer settings then re-enable them. You should get all the dialogs about trusting this device blah blah. I develop android apps for the day job and this happens to me a lot.
This advice ignores the existence of THE COMPULSION.

Working on my π crafts!
Before I left Ottawa my friend Emily gifted me a raccoon and squirrel skull- I mulled over the best way to display them before landing on a little needle-felted display. Iβm so happy with how it turned out!
You can move your head. I remember something clicking for me about illustrating living things during a figure drawing class and we had a model that I suspect the professor instructed to keep shifting and moving.
Almost all the "new" for the Internet from me is very "old" for me. It's always like, "Here, Internet, I've squeezed all the last drops of dopamine out of this art I made. Now you can have it."
No. It's called Russel's Paradox.
Reminds me of...
A real one.

Painted miniatures of a purplish cloth troll with floppy black ears, a pale belly and a big axe and a blue cloth dug with floppy black ears and a pale belly as well. They have been splattered with very thin light grey paint and brown wash, using a toothbrush, to give a textured effect.

Oh yeah put that one on your bucket list for sure! His stuff is incredible in the flesh. The prints and pictures we usually see donβt do them justice.
This is a Scalzi thread! We know books. I did get my PHP entirely off the online docs though, so none on that topic. Mine are more general βDesign Patternsβ type books. Still relevant even!
My knowledge is very much old PHP. I was following along as they began shifting into object oriented patterns. I remember the docs being the best of any language I'd worked with. But I'm in embedded and app dev these days, so I haven't been keeping up.
I don't doubt it. I haven't developed on a LAMP stack since before Laravel became trendy. It's all ASP.NET these days.
Good to see PHP is still in use and that my knowledge of some of the ancient languages is not yet obsolete.
