‘Is there a point to any of this or do you just want to see how much more I can take?’ snaps Crassus.
‘Oh, I knew there was still some bite left in you,’ says Cethegus, thrilled.
Cethegus teaches Crassus the art of politics and the ways of business. Sulla is not a fan.

Hey! You mentioned a while back that if the other dimension Dipper/Mabel/Ford might call the penthouse for advice in dealing with their Bill, and Familiar!Dipper might pick up the "call". I've been rereading the Bill v Bill series and can't get the scene out of my head. Any chance you'd be interested in writing it?
I'm certainly interested in writing it! I think there's a lot of opportunity for Shenanigans, and that's totally my jam.
The problem is: Actually Getting Around to writing it. But perhaps one day!

tyler is too hyped up on adrenaline, worry for kate drowning everything out, to notice the leg pain. and even as it creeps in, he insists that there are other more injured people that should be seen first. eventually, xrays reveal stress fractures in both shin bones and his knee cap. in total, he's stuck in a leg brace for a little over two months. just because he knows rest is the best thing for an injury like this, doesn't mean he's happy about it. the crush injury also caused some nerve pain, which generally bothers him most with changes to air pressure (go figure). unfortunately for the wrangles, tyler is the grin and bear it type so he does need to be reminded to take it easy occasionally.

If there is anything I've learned from interacting with the everyone from the top of the sport to the backyard hobbists, it's that most of the folks at the top aren't often worth learning from. Most of them are not good teachers or trainers and a lot of their success just comes from money and connections

I think I FINALLY settled what game engine I'm gonna use for the Asmo project and I've decided to go with Game Maker Studio instead of Godot. Godot is great and surprisingly powerful and I'd like to come back to it someday, but the learning curve is just... too steep for me with the quality of tutorial I've been finding and I'm one of those people that needs the why explained to me. Once I'm a bit more familiar with programming logic and how the logic slots together, then I might give it another chance though.
Also- last year was a huge mess for me mentally and I had to take a lot of repeated breaks, so even though I've been working on this project for almost a year and a half now, all together it's probably only been around actually 6-8 months of work. But I feel less annoyed about how long it's been taking bc of that at least, and, if my current plans go according to plan, I'm going to eventually be able to commit more time to this project and have this project eventually support itself a little bit.
And honestly I'm just tired of waffling around and talking about this project and working on it on the side and never having quite enough time to fully commit to trying to make this project work. I WANT to commit more time to it and I'm hoping eventually I can?
I'm certainly not planning on leaving my day job anytime soon, but I am planning on starting streaming regularly in about a month, showing the creation of this thing and showing me researching this game (I really need to replay some stuff so I can figure out game feel) and maybe if that works out enough I can drop down to part time and put even more time into it? But that's a bit of a long term goal and currently I'm just... trying to make all that possible.

Eternally jealous of people that can just....... draw a person in clothes automatically instead of drawing a fully posed and detailed model..... AND THEN adding clothes.
