#goal 1

[projectcontain]

And so it begins...

Hello there! My name is Mike, and I am a software developer by day, and a table top gaming enthusiast by night. I was recently struck with the idea of marrying the gameplay of turn-based strategy games such as XCOM with the rich lore that is the collaborative fiction of The SCP Foundation. And so, this idea was born. I have decided that this is going to be my project for the year of 2023.

The goal is to have a playable, not necessarily pretty, version of the game done by December 31st, 2023. As this is my first proper foray into game development, I am not expecting to actually charge money for this, that just doesn’t seem fair to me. I’m hoping to have it hosted in itch.io for anyone to play it.

To help keep me on track, I’m going to try and set monthly goals for myself. These goals may seem very generous for some of you, but remember that I am working a full-time job during the day, and still need to find time for strict leisure at other points.

Goal #1; Have a design document done by the end of January.

From my time in college for a Computer Information Systems diploma (yes, I have a CIS diploma), I know that the time spent planning at the start is less time spent planning later. At the guidance of one of my friends who has an education in video game design, I am putting together a design document to assemble all my ideas. It will include the overall design vision, as well as some details on entities that can be found in the game. From that written document, I hope to put together some object design diagrams to really flesh out the way that the game needs to be coded together. All of that together is my goal for the end of January.

From there, I will need to evaluate what I have in front of me to determine my goal for the next few months.

In the meantime, I am hoping to be able to make a post on this blog at least once a week chronicling the difficulties I’ve had, advancements I’ve made, etc. I’ll probably make a couple more posts before the end of the day today to document what I already know about my approach to the project. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an ask here on tumblr, or send an email to the email in the description of this blog.

Thank-you in advance for joining me on this journey, and I hope some good things come of it!

Cheers,

Mike.

I Actually Sang

As usual, I’ve done some editing and rearranging on my list.

Goal 1

Currently on Matthew 7:3 (Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?) VERY timely. This one I need to practice.

Goal 11

I told myself I’ll start today (February 14, 2023).

Goal 12

I’m 59 videos away.

Goal 19

I’ve inquired about tap lessons. I just need to find tap shoes.

Goal 37 (formerly Goal 35)

I’ve finally taken my first singing lesson last Saturday!!!! It was fun!!! I honestly didn’t know my voice could actually do something, lol. A lot to improve on, of course.

oh my god i forgot to post my absolute favorite strip from gay comix (issue #2, 1981)

#this collection is full of so many hilarious vignettes #between the fictional and biographical they range from hilarious to saddening but theyre all candid looks at #lgbt life in the 60s 70s and 80s #id recommend it if you're interested in older underground work #edit: for ppl who notice the opening blurb i will say this: #1. Many artists in the underground comix scene (yes the lgbt ones too) delighted in being overly provocative for the sake of it #hence the cringeworthy 'political unity is not the goal' line #2. i worried abt this too when i started going thru the issues but there are quite a few strips and comics focusing on the trans experience #that said. there are unfortunately not a lot of transgender artists involved in this collection #3. given the preceding two points i think its fair to say that a good chunk of the strips in gay comix just. Suck #but like they actually said it's important that we're capable of recognizing that a full 40 years down the line #so we can actually learn something from the life experiences the mistakes and even the lack of perspective tht sm of these artists displayed #nocturnal writings

I saw Godzilla Minus One and he is quite literally one of god's silliest showa scientists

#godzilla #godzilla minus one #godzilla minus 1 #HES'S SO PRECIOUS FOR THIS FILM #Koichi and Noriko are also friendship to couple goals #fuck realistic panic attacks #we're here for realistic PTSD attacks #like fuck this movie did such a good job of talking about post war emotions #I'm sorry I like movies talking about post war shit #the Toku brain continues #I could probably write a lot about this movie but #Koichi deserves all of the hugs #insane how his actor was the child form of the overlord in Agito #noda kenji

Another bonus to learning a fiber art is being able to speak to others in a Lovecraftian language that nobody else understands...

...and also being able to read things like THIS:

#art #crochet #fiber art #described images #image description in alt #used a crochet pattern for this because it's just INSANE #see i can recognize some of these stitch markings but i haven't done them all yet #i actually kind of prefer the diagram pattern because it actually shows you the shape and the way stitches compliment the piece #with a 'normal' pattern (e.g. 1 dc in fifth ch from hook ch 2 4 dc) i understand it sure but. it isn't the same. #i was reading somebodys recommendations for tapestry yarn and understood all the abbreviations and what they mean #plus i feel like diagrams can be a great way to teach you not only how stitches look but how they contribute to the larger piece #one of my crochet proficiency goals is to be able to look at a piece and know instantly what made it #*cue me at the store analyzing a crochet piece so i can replicate it for 5× the cost* #if you're selling a crocheted piece for like $20 then it's my imperative to replicate it and not buy it 🫡 #i think that has the same moral implication as like... 'proplifting' #did crochet as the example because thats what i do as a fiber art. if theres a similar thing for knit/weave/ect then DROP IT BELOW I BEG YO #i want to learn all the lovecraftian languages of the fiber artists <3 #i feel like describing the image in exactly what stitch marking indicates what would have been too much so hopefully the explanation as to.. #...what the diagram DOES and how it visually indicates a pattern was helpful <3

Can you do a Clarisse fic where she meets ur mother and its like based on that one Annabeth and Sally fanart where Sally's like "My son wouldn't hurt a fly." And Annabeth is like "But he would kill a man." And Sally's like "Of course he would.I raised him." But wirh fem reader??

'First Impression'

Clarisse La Rue x Fem!Reader

Clarisse stood nervously at the entrance of your house, holding a bouquet of flowers she insisted on bringing for your mother. As she stepped inside, she couldn't help but glance around, her tough exterior momentarily softened by the unfamiliar surroundings. Your mother, a sweet yet formidable woman, welcomed Clarisse with a warm smile.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and soon enough, they found themselves in the kitchen.The tension was palpable as Clarisse tried to find common ground.

However, to her surprise, your mother seemed genuinely interested in getting to know her. She started by asking about Camp Half-Blood and Clarisse's experiences there. Clarisse, usually reserved, found herself opening up about her challenges and triumphs.

As you excused yourself to fetch some drinks, leaving the two alone, you couldn't help but wonder how the conversation would unfold. Clarisse genuinely admired your mother's strength because she knew your mother had raised you alone as you told her all about it and you had a feeling they would get along.

In the kitchen, you overheard snippets of their conversation. Your mother's laughter echoed through the air, mingling with Clarisse's gruffer tones. You couldn't help but smile, relieved that things seemed to be going well.

"Your daughter, she's somethin' else. Strong and kind," Clarisse said, attempting to express her respect. "Beautiful and considerate..."

Your mother chuckled softly, nodding in agreement. "She gets it from her old lady. I raised her to be tough but fair."

As your mother reached for a sharp knife to cut some carrots, her movements deliberate and confident. Clarisse couldn't help but notice the ease with which she handled the blade.

"She's a special one,isn't she?" Your mother's eyes held a warmth that only a mother could convey.

Clarisse, usually stoic and guarded, couldn't help but smile. "Yeah, she is. I've never met anyone like her."

Your mother spoke again, her tone taking on a more matter-of-fact approach. "I taught her that there's a time for kindness and a time for strength. Life's not always easy, and my girl knows how to navigate through it."

Clarisse nodded, her respect for both you and your mother deepening. "She's lucky to have someone like you."

Your mother chuckled, her eyes glinting with pride. "I'm the lucky one. She's grown into a remarkable young woman, and I'm proud to call her my daughter."

Returning with refreshments, you found them deep in conversation.Your mother turned to you with a mischievous glint in her eye, saying, "My daughter wouldn't hurt a fly."

Clarisse smirked, her eyes sparkling with amusement, "But she would kill a man."

Your mother chuckled,amused "Of course she would.I raised her." As she spoke,she used that same sharp knife, effortlessly slicing through carrots with practiced precision.Clarisse watched with admiration, finding the display oddly cool.

You couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth at the exchange. It was as if your worlds were colliding in the most unexpected yet heartwarming way. Clarisse, usually tough and unyielding, seemed to soften in the presence of your mother.

As the evening unfolded, you all sat around the dinner table, sharing stories and laughter. The connection between your mother and Clarisse went beyond your expectations. It wasn't just the strength they shared, but a mutual respect and understanding.

Later, as you and Clarisse prepared to leave, your mother pulled you aside, her eyes filled with pride and love. "I like her," she whispered, squeezing your hand. "She's good for you."

You nodded, grateful for the acceptance and support. Clarisse, standing nearby, caught the tender moment. In that simple gesture,she knew she made a good impression.

Later that night, as you and Clarisse left your mother's home, Clarisse couldn't help but express her admiration. "Your mom's pretty badass, you know that?"

You smiled "I know.She likes you,you know?And my mother isn't always impressed easily,and especially not at first either."

Clarisse chuckled "I hoped she would.I'm glad it all went well.And we should visit again soon.No we will visit again soon!" It seems she was genuinely happy and glad your mother liked her and she was pretty excited as she ended up blabbering about your mother and what they spoke about all the way back to camp.

A/N:Clarisse and reader's mom are besties fr.It's canon,it happens bc I said so.

Call Morpheus a tumblr sexyman all you want but the Corinthian embodies the concept

#the sandman #the corinthian #corinthian #also his two main goals are 1) rebel against his father and #2) Not Die #which is pretty relatable ngl

TL;DR: No Progress

I missed the 13th because we were so busy with family gatherings! Which, I guess, is a good thing. Anyway, I don’t think I’ve made any progress.

Goal 1

Current verse - Matthew 6:19-21 (Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven. For where you treasure is, there your heart will be also.) I’m so glad Jesus is always with me wherever I go and whatever I’m feeling.

Goal 3

I wasn’t able to enroll for A1.2 because I didn’t have time (*LOUD CRY*). Oh well, there’s always next quarter.

Goal 8

Already bought Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith!

Goal 11

No progress. Just wanted to say I changed Goal 11 again ... to something much harder wah.

Goal 18

I have FINALLY taken a one-day yoga retreat. It was so much fun, and I met so many friendly people! Yoga people really are my people.

Goal 35

My friend has a music studio!!!

Goal 36

I bought swimwear from Speedo.

There isn’t really much progress. I really think I should just focus on one or two things because I get overwhelmed easily. But then when I do focus on one or two things, I get really fidgety. But in my heart, if I had to pick just one, I want to focus on Goal 11.

Each art is based off a different theories for the future of Cassie and the story.

#fnaf #fnaf fanart #five nights at freddy's #fnaf security breach #fnaf sb ruin #security breach ruin #fnaf cassie #fnaf gregory #fnaf eclipse #fnaf mimic #roxy wolf #roxanne wolf #1) Cassie become the new vannie because of the brainwashing the mimic did while gregory has to fight one of his only friends #2) the Brazil ending takes her to the balloon boy mini games like gregory #she's put into a forever carnival w/ BB (gregory) eclipse n possible baby #all the while she trys not to go [INTO MADNESS] #im telling u man it would be perfect #3) it going with the roxy fighting the mimic audio and which she lost #cus of the chip in cass brain from the mask she WOULD hallucinate roxy instead of the mimic #4) going with notrealname's idea of greg and cass being enemies as adults but still having the same goal of stopping fazbear inc

[aritany]

it just hit me that for YEARS my whole (and only) major goal was to have a book published before i turned 25. that was all baby-alex in 2018 was gunning for when we started taking writing seriously.

in the time since, my publishing journey has been HARD. i mean, it has sucked some major balls. i'm talking 'getting surprise divorced the week you're supposed to start your contracted structural edits' hard.

like, 'nobody tells you anything and if other people miss deadlines, it's your problem now and you're BEING a problem just by asking why' hard. like, 'oh, you mean you're struggling with the weight of writing/editing 6 hours a day and working enough to support yourself while dealing with a chronic illness? have you tried giving up SLEEPING?' (i wish i was joking that's a verbatim quote) hard.

but now, at the end of all that bullshit, my book comes out on february 6th.

i turn 25 on march 4th.

i did it.

#next goal: another 1 (or maybe 2) by 30 #alex talks #publishing
