I’ve been working on a game for Play.date. It is a survivors style rogue-like sci-fi comedy autoshooter. There are five episodes referencing some incredible sci-fi books. If you own a PD and want to try it out for me, let me know. The beta is available for playtesting.

Here is a Titaner titanium tactical fountain pen I customized. It has such shifty colors it is difficult to record. It also has a hidden emergency function! Perfect for writing down license plate numbers OR busting the window out of a vehicle you are trapped in. Helpful!

Hello pen modders! I have another Namisu N2. These pens are very sharp looking and they are great for customizing. The goal of this one was a refined executive look with cobalt blue and some orange peel texture. I think it worked out. What do you say?

The third batch of pens from @drocketdesign.bsky.social are these satin titanium edc pocket pens. They are ballpoint twist pens. Once again I tried a bunch of different styles. I’m very happy with how they came out.

Here is a clip of those D Rocket Design Oval v3 bolt action pens made from crystallized titanium. The clips really bring the pen together… 🤣 what do you think?

After finishing a full batch of ten pens I put together this little edit that shows some of the process behind a few of them. This is a group of D Rocket Supressor Ti Bolt-Action Pens.

This is an all-titanium fixed blade knife called a HangTi by CRKT. I flamed the blade and textured the handle. Pretty happy with how it came out. What do you think?

Another fancy #pen. I feel like this one is a bit more refined and staid. Do you think? (This is anodized titanium.)

I anodized another fancy pen. This is a titanium ball point from D Rocket Design. It was plain satin titanium when I got it. I think I like it better this way. What do you think? #edc #edcpen #anodized #titanium

I anodized another fancy titanium fountain pen. This one was cheaper to start but came out looking just as good! 💪 💎

This is a custom knife mod with a Neuromancer cyberpunk theme. It is a Civivi Elementum 2 with titanium scales and a nitro-v blade. Black ano, then rainbow circuit ano, plus a couple blade etchings. A little rough but that just adds to the character!

I am so excited about how good this latest knife mod came out. It is a CJRB Pyrite themed to go with the Children of Time series by @aptshadow.bsky.social I anodized species icons on the scales with super color shifty fx. Blade etchings of the Portiid and, of course, “We’re going on an adventure.”

I’ve been making more copper token spinners. I’m using some traditional designs and having a ton of fun making custom patterns. These three showcase three totally different patinas, too. Do you have ideas for future spinners? Is there one you need in your pocket?

A copper spinner I etched and patina’d with an HP Lovecraft #cthulu theme. This was fun and came out well, I think. #metalart #copper #edc #edcspinner #eldritch #horror

These are titanium coins, done with two different anodizing techniques: one for the black, and one for all the other colors. The ability to anodize like this is a pretty magical quality that titanium shares with niobium and zirconium (maybe more?). But other metals can’t do the same thing.
