gaining a bit more confidence with the meteor hammer as I work on chaining new moves i'm learning together with the ones i already know. improving my footwork comes next, but i'm very happy with my progress so far!! :>

i had to spin the hammer SO slow for that clip because i only had a little clip-on LED light that would turn itself off with the slightest bit of shock... but it was still really fun and i'm excited to get a better light for it sometime!!

a funny thing about being a web developer in this age of LLM hype is noticing how much more unreliable github has become as a service even within just the last year

i'm not going to jump to the assumption that it's due to github being vibe coded now, since i imagine it also has a lot more to do with the strain of millions of slop projects getting pushed to it. but it's very funny to see Microsoft struggling with it so much considering their stance on it all

It had been too long since I'd last drawn Merlin so I fixed that last night

every time i'm social online is followed by a substantially longer hermit period where i don't want to interact with anyone for any reason

and another new move... today i practiced reverse elbow shots! surprisingly easy to land compared to the wraps i've been working on lately, and very fun :>

my quest for the perfect meteor hammer leash has led me to make my third custom. this time, a neon green for maximum visibility on camera!

it's been fun learning how best to dye these things! i didn't do quite as well on the dark green one, but i've figured out a consistent process now. and my stitching is improving a lot over time too!

tfw your first ever hit with a new trickshot you're learning (dragon wrap) is immediately followed by a second one

been revisiting Bloodborne for the first time in years (yay for ps4 emulation!) and it's funny how multiple times so far i've gone "fuck i remember this area, it really sucks..." and then it turns out to be totally fine and i had just mixed it up with a similarly themed zone from DS3 lol

In case you thought "dude is the jerkoff hand gesture incarnate" wasn't a good enough reason to not buy the dude's games, get a load of this:

I gave Braid an A+ back in my press days. I spent 100s of hours working on The Witness at PlayStation, fighting for it, getting it into conferences, and being Jon's personal wrangler. I even coined "Metroidbrainia" after it. I will not be buying Order of the Sinking Star, and neither should you.

spent some time practicing scorpion wraps this weekend!! it still takes a lot of attempts before one actually lands, but i'm slowly getting more control over aiming them

reupload because i forgot blender automatically preserves pitch when timestretching audio, which not only made the slow motion impact sound weird but it a turned a car squeak in the background into a horrible extended whine (made worse by bsky's aggressive normalisation) and it was driving me crazy

tfw you upload a video and realise a day later that there's a nitpicky problem with the render that likely nobody else would ever notice but it drives you crazy. i might fix and reupload lol

FA is being very up front about both the cost of hosting the site [it aint cheap] and how advertisers theyd been relying on prior are pushing all the same puritan bullshit weve been seeing other platforms push FA is one of very few Old Internet spaces around. Support em while we CAN

watching this back it's really funny how much my target unintentionally sounds like stock video game foley when i hit it, especially where the video transitions from slow to normal speed. sounds almost exactly like the slow motion bone breaking sfx in skate 3

I'm just gonna retry sharing the video tomorrow when i have more time and patience to deal with bsky's encoder being weird lol

and now i have another hand-dyed leash!! this time i sewed the loops instead of using knots for a smoother look and feel (and more economical use of my cotton webbing)

okay so it actually dyed beautifully... i can make custom meteor hammer leashes now!!
