I think I worked 10 solid hours today with only a brief lunch break. Middle of the month crept up on me, gotta get #puppets on the shop!

With “vibe coding” being the flavour of the minute, people who know how stuff actually works will be in serious demand when the house of cards falls and the CEOs have no one to pick up the pieces.

I had a very pleasant weekend and I'm not ready for it to be over. I'm sure if I sulk hard enough time will yield to my wishes.

I love not using AI. I love looking at art made by human beings, sculpting kaleidoscopic mushrooms out of clay, learning a new skill from a real person, playing with cats, spotting bats silhouetted in a crepuscular sky. Not using AI is very fun.

The warmer weather is slowing creeping back. Two walks today. I need this. Walking outside is when I let the algorithm feed me new (to me) music.

New #podcast is up! We're back, rusty and have a loud cat! #gaming, #tech, #Microslop and as always, #puppets. Special shoutout to my peeps in #TheGamersTavern shows.acast.com/pixels-and-p...

After an emotionally draining day, one of the oldest #Warframe creators goes and posts this. I swear this game has brought me to happy tears more often than anything else ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhoG...

In addition to *waves arms* I just spent two hours in the sodding dentist chair that I forgot I’d booked. *Glassy stare into the middle distance with occasional twitching*

I had to do one. 🐺 #Warframe #WaframeCaptura #VorunaPrime

A sudden (welcome) change in the weather has brought a sudden (unwelcome) yo-yo’ing air pressure so now my head feels like someone opened the airlock too soon. This has been your Old Man Mentions The Weather Minute.

I cannot over stress how exhausting it is to work in the creative arts in times like these. Malign forces are hellbent on devaluing human interaction so they can use us as addicted cattle to milk. Genuine human #art is more than a distraction, it’s a life raft.

Hopefully I won’t be able to complain about this much longer but LORD I am ready for the cold weather to end. I think I’ve gone a bit cabin fever, need to touch something that will eventually be grass.

If I have to live through nuclear war anxiety again like the fucking 80s, can I at least have my hair back?

Quite pleased I’m getting back into #streaming on the reg, both puppet building and gaming. Had so much fun streaming the Pax #Warframe dev stream watchalong last week I might just do that every dev stream.

At in-laws. Watching JJ Trek with motion smoothing and commercials. Bet you didn’t think JJ Trek could get worse.

Another fun & pleasant stream. I think the Sunday morning time slot may work well for regular game streaming.

Nothing says Easter like space ninjas! Sunday morning #Warframe stream! #Twitch #YouTube www.youtube.com/@OperationPu... www.twitch.tv/operationpup...

Last week's game stream was so much fun I was looking forward to doing more today but I fear a foul mood has settled on me. I honestly think it's weather related at this point. Freezing rain *again*. A touch of cabin fever I expect. Still, better for everyone to stream when I know I'll have fun.

I hope every hardcore #Warframe player gets to have the experience of introducing someone to the game and then seeing their reaction once they get into the story quests. What a delight.

It's a day off, warm & sunny, I've just gone for a 1hr walk, discovered new music, and can spend the day playing video games. So *now* my brain decides it's grumpy. I need a new one, this one's broken.

WARNING: Extremely adult joke you might not expect from a puppet builder incoming: Firing a woman who obediently obeyed commands is the only way he can get an erection from anyone over 13 🥁

We end this short week with a goblin built for a client. If I ever had to pick just one type of creature to build from now on it’d be goblins. #puppets #puppetbuilding

Hot take: we shouldn't run #Microslop Outlook on the fucking spaceship.

On camera stream day, which means it's my weekly motivation to shave.

#AprilFools has become even more meaningless now that it’s safe to assume everything you see casually browsing the Internet is fake and wrong and lying.

A few years ago I overbought hard drives and now have plenty of capacity. I also got more Raspberry Pi’s than I needed and upgraded my RAM mere months before the crisis. Counting my blessings these days.

See I *knew* something was wrong. 🥁

Trans friends, I have always been with you and will always stand with you. Your fight is my fight. I will put myself between you and the goddamned bullets if I have to. I know which is the right side of history. #transdayofvisibility

Trans day of every tabloid shuts the fuck up about us forever. Trans day of let us have our healthcare and leave us the fuck alone. Trans day of tearing down the panopticon. Trans day of let us control the narrative instead of deferring to some cis sexologist's hallucination.

Hey #AI "agents": There is no unit of measurement large enough to sufficiently quantify the amount of fucked I want you to get. www.404media.co/an-ai-agent-...

Hot #puppet builder take: I think I find adding boning rings to body inserts just as much if not more annoying than making fingers.

Delightful Saturday followed by a rotten Sunday does not make for an enthusiastic Monday. 🫤

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

Good: super fun stream yesterday, want more! Brain sparkling! Bad: trying to sleep with a case of sparkling brain. 4 hours. Ugh. Gonna be a zombie today but yesterday was worth it, I needed that.

I *was* all fired up to do yet another stream tonight after a delightful one earlier today, but the poor sleep and few glasses of wine have caught up to me. Early bed for your goth grampa. We shall see tomorrow. 😴

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

I don't normally do "react" videos but in this case I'll make an exception. May your game bring you as much joy as #Warframe has brought me. www.twitch.tv/videos/27341...

DAMN that was a fun stream. Motivated to keep it up. Looking even more forward to #Tennocon. Gotta figure out if I can stream from there. 🤔 #warframe

Game streams return! Join me for a #Warframe dev stream watch-along! #Twitch #YouTube www.youtube.com/@OperationPu... www.twitch.tv/operationpup...

Lousy sleep will not deter me. #Warframe dev stream watch along stream at 3pm ET.

This is me recklessly updating CachyOS mere hours before a stream with wild, apocalyptic abandon.

I honestly had no idea Steam had built in voice chat. I've rarely looked at my Steam Friends list and never used it much since everything was done through Discord. 🫠

I always, *always* sleep lousy the night before I plan to stream. No matter. Still doing it. On the plus side I finally have a script idea for the next episode of The Oracle.

Oh hey this month the #Warframe dev stream is on a Saturday and I planned to stream this weekend. Watch-along stream it is! Tomorrow 3pm ET. I may get an adult beverage involved.

Been working on commissions lately so it’s #FlashbackFriday. Goblins are my personal favourite monsters. Just a few of the many I’ve made over the years. #puppets #puppetbuilding

The #Warframe devs continue to be amazing. The new game mode received some (well deserved) criticism from a lot of the player base, and less than 24h later it was patched to address the most important concerns. I’ve never regretted my choice to go all in on this game.
