Day 11 I to August. Would have done some animation work last night, but anxiety was causing interference. So I got to credits on Darksiders III instead.

Very much a game. Some interesting stuff, but overall just fine. Cleared it out of the backlog, that's for sure.

YouTube video by PlayFrame How I made Elden Ring sound like a Zelda game

Earlier this year, I did something very silly and reconstructed a full hour of Elden Ring gameplay audio using sounds from N64 Zelda games. By hand.

It took a long time

Here's a behind-the-scenes breakdown of the process:

I've had some pretty high anxiety all day. Stuff happened, nothing outlandishly bad, but just unexpected. Which almost gives me a panic attack EVERY time!

Looks like I'm blocked by 7 whole accounts.

One of which I think is an adult content artist.

Which... yeah, you know what, fine by me!

A glowing orb surrounded by dark clouds in a russet sky.

Tonight's sunset.

It's quite nice to just run around FFXIV collecting and gathering items while catching up on all the podcasts over the past few days.

A nice break from the hectic Extremes and Mahjong moments for sure.

Seems like every popular live service game ends up becoming a mess of crossover skins. I get why, money talks. But it would be nice if there was one that didn't do that and kept a consistent style.

Finishes the 7.3 FFXIV MSQ and ARaid quests.

*takes a BIIIIIG sip of tea*

I enjoyed it, quite a lot.

Now to start plotting out ehat I need fpr the Crafter/Gatherers sets.

Forgot to preload the FFXIV Patch update.

45+ minute download to get to the good stuff for me (yes, my internet kinda sucks)

Thankfully spent time washing dishes so the wait wasn't completely unbearable, but my impatience is starting to wear thin.

Welp, didn't get the FFXIV Large house I bid for. Lost a 1/25 chance.

Which in terms of logic, expected.

In terms of Large Houses, extremely unlucky.

This week's Mahjong Club meetup in FFXIV was kind of draining.

Not in a bad way, by any means, I play with great friends! But I kept getting into the games that dragged on forever!

When the dealer wins a hand in Mahjong, they play a new round as Dealer again. And that just... kept... happening!!

Reminder that dunks disseminate. You're not owning some asshole, you're being his free street team.

Please stop putting stupid shit in my timeline. Just block and move on.

This is it.

The month where I actually knuckle down and start those creative projects in earnest.

...

Okay, listen, first 6 months, time commitments with my FFXIV FC happened. And July was the break.

But this, THIS is totally the month where I get stuff done!

.... I hope.

Tortie for me.

It's cooled off significantly after it rained pretty hard yesterday.

But August is around the corner, and Summer's brutal heat ain't done yet.

Hey, that's my FFXIV house's D&D table in Coeurl!! :D (5th house in the highlights)

This week's housing highlights #ffxiv

There are 15 Large Houses up for grabs in my FFXIV Server.

I'll wait a bit to place a bid. See which houses are hot and which ones aren't.

This is probably the best chance at one in the longest of whiles, gotta take advantage of it.

7 months into the year;
Basically every creative idea I had planned has fallen by the wayside.

Been too busy with so many other things and scheduling is difficult and so much anxiety from-

*gestures to the nation at large*

I need a regular routine that's manageable...

Waking up this morning to find THE Denmo McStronghuge visited my FFXIV house last night! Hope he enjoyed the visit, now I have to go through the VODs to clip his reaction to the massive D&D Table I have on the lower floor!

I might go for a jog today!

Hot and Muggy Weather: *exists*

... tonight. Go for a jog tonight.

Awww man. That's disappointing to learn :/

Kevin McLeod, who for 20 years has been the "royalty-free music guy" online, has just launched a new website where other composers will also be offering royalty-free music for anyone to use in their projects: freepd.com

There's something quite satisfying about a perfectly balanced checkbook.

John, why would you wound me so?

Nintendo emailed me, saying I can now by the Switch 2 from them!

However, already got mine through Gamestop earlier this month.

And seeing as my coffers are low from con travels and I'm not a scalper, I'll let this opportunity for a second one pass me by.

Because this whole week has been a dumpster fire river of bad news after bad news.

I learned a distant aunt of mine passed away recently.

Not really sad news, she was old and all that. I'll still miss her dearly.

At least that's the only-

*reads the latest news*

Hulk Hogan AND Chuck Mangione?!

An in-game render of Ozzy Osbourne, with the logo for Brutal Legend and text that reads, "Free for the next 666 minutes" and the itch.io logo in the bottom right corner

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...
