"Scott Adams died"
Oh no, not the adventure game writer! Oh, phew, it wasn't.
The most common thing said when stepping into the spotlight:
"Hey, where did the audience go?"
Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, god of wind, knowledge, and creation. A deity associated with breath, movement, and the bridge between the earthly and the divine.
During one of his journeys, he meets a small raccoon villager. Curious, unafraid, and grounded to the land, the boy climbed onto the god’s back for a ride. Feeling the wind and earth moving together, and the god carrying a simple sould, showing him his kindness and how open he is for a new friendship.
This piece is composed of four separate watercolor paintings, arranged in four frames to be read as a single panoramic image.The initial sketch was created digitally, then printed on cotton watercolor paper, then painted.
This artwork will be exhibited at the Further Confusion Art Show.
A time-lapse video was recorded, showing the entire process from digital sketch, through watercolor painting, to final framing, and also you see me trying to continue my painting while avoiding my cat to step over the painting. You can watch it on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram channel: https://t.me/panda_paco
I shared a longer full version of that process video, you can get it attached on a post exclusive for Patreon and Ko-Fi monthly supporters. Also I'm working on a big piece that commemorates my 10th anniversary on Patreon, which has been so important to me so I can keep creating art and living out of this, and as a thank you I'm drawing all my supporters, jump in and see how you can be part of it!

Oh man who left one of these just laying here. I better put him somewhere so no one trips on him.

It leaves a mark on your soul, meeting a god. Most people never meet one before they die. A few saints, prophets, and other holies have more than one mark.
The witch couldn't help stare with her second sight.
"You've met them all? Many times?"
Her friend shrugged. "They say I'm a good listener."
I'm watching this video and imagining Rick yelling this at Morty, sorta like this --
You stab it Morty, you stab the fascism or you'll die - you'll die Morty! It's like a cancer!
I don't care what flavour you want your democracy to be, Morty! It's not ice cream, vanilla or chocolate, it's freedom or fascism!'
It's well worth a watch even if you're not a R&M fan.

How cool would it be to get to see this in person from space. Fireworks on NYE.

"Love" stories are about wanting sex. Couldn't care less.
Friendship stories are about actual love.
I've seen several mentions of Megabonk and since it's apparently in my Steam family library I thought I'd try it out. I have no idea what's going on or what to do or anything. Maybe I'm getting too old for new types of games? Or maybe it's just not a kind of game I'm used to, I dunno.
Absolutely no tutorial of any kind, as far as I can see. I hate "character creation" stuff, just let me start the game with a default setup, as *obviously* I won't have a clue what to select until I've played the game a bit and seen what might be useful. Stupid amounts of monsters which apparently all get auto-killed by the game, so I think I just ignore them? Constant pop-ups asking me to select upgrades from options I'm not interested in and know nothing about (see above re character creation) and which keep interupting me trying to get used to the controls and figure out what's going on.
After 7 minutes of play, according to Steam, I've managed to recognise some of the things that trigger pop-ups, so I can avoid them and wander around the map a bit to try to figure out what I'm meant to be doing. I don't see anything of interest, so I think that's it for that game.
Good thing we don't all like the same kinds of games.
I am so bad at finishing projects. They get to 90% and I just… don't finish them off. I have a "new" email filter server that I set up, installed and tweaked postfix, clamav, spamd etc on, hacked a small perl smtp proxy to glue everything together the way I wanted it, so it can be placed transparently in front of any other SMTP server and it'll never accept-then-bounce, and it's been running, mostly-successfully filtering out spam on a few non-critical domains for many years now, and I *still* haven't got it finished enough to be willing to put all my and my customers' domains through it. So long, in fact, that it's getting a bit out of date.
Same with my web frontend with my own scriptage doing clever automated certificate and OCSP management. Same with my little content-DNS server CDN with configurable automated DNSSEC signing. Same with my "new" BGP routers that were supposed to have replaced the old BGP routers by now. Same with so many other things. Urgh. I'm just so tired of everything, probably because the projects I'm trying to get around to now are the same ones I've been trying to get around to for years. And because I'm tired and fed up with it all, I don't get on with them.
If I could only spend a bit of time and get these things finished enough to be willing to migrate everything onto them I'd be happy to advertise to everyone I know that I can offer this stuff and see if I can get customers in to actually use the things I've spent so much time on. But I let perfect be the enemy of good so much of the time. I ought to just tell everyone I can host everything anyway and try to deal with that lacking 10% as and when needed rather than the other way round. The stuff I have built to the 90% point has generally been pretty reliable after all, even if I don't consider it fully production ready.
I do hate myself sometimes.
I think this might be a common problem for some people. I don't think I ever really consider anything finished, or at least not many things. There is always something to make it better, and as someone who knows it could, that's therefore not good enough.
But often it seems it is. I've been trying to accept things that works and modify them as requirements crop up. It doesn't always work, but I think it's helped. I think that's what you're getting at in your third paragraph, so I'd say it's worth a try. It's a difficult mindset to change. So maybe pick one thing and see how that goes; you might be pleasantly surprised.
