Sometimes I wonder if Gen Z/Alpha are aware that mobile devices, computers & other tech all just had replaceable & swappable batteries and that you could get replacements at most random electronics stores without much trouble while keeping a spare or two with you if needed.

Instead of just jumping between zones in social VR, it'd be really fun if there was like a tour bus between zones or something, or one of those bike tour pedal things. Sometimes instantaneous movement is too convenient. Gotta appreciate the little things & add back methods appropriate to the medium.

Took a break from the monitor & got the aqua studio tgts brush library set up, i'm already in love. Fountain brush detailer, cloudy round, and toothy chisel are already favorites. Did a quick (1-2m) doodle of a random shoe & it sucks but I love the edge variation. This is fun 😊

Finally mustered the energy to attempt the monitor repair on my Samsung Neo g9, and can't find my precision tool set. Welp, it didn't stop me. Back is off! Thankfully I have half a dozen soldering irons. Time to tinker.

Honestly not sure how I never casually identified that polarization of an electric field is just vectors when it's literally in the definition. The way PBS phrased it in reference to the crystallization of space made it blatantly obvious. I love vector fields so this realization is amusing

If I ever run into Jimothy once I move to WA I think it'll be a fun time lol. The local fam of ~3 racoons here seem to like me & enjoy sitting on my doorstep watching me at my computer desk. They pose for selfies & sleep on the stoop. Cute lil guys. I just wish they'd stop moving my tools.

Yesterday was pretty great, but today was an absolute wash. Woke up fairly mad for little reason or outside influence, arms have felt tingly all day & I've heard ringing that I'd think was tinnitus if I didn't know better.
I still have a ton I want/need to get done & I can't even sleep properly ugh

Scored a Steam Frame, yay! A ballsy offer worked & I am no longer a waitlister. Picked up my camera for it as well, now to check off the other tasks on my list & hopefully remember to eat :D

Yay, finally conscious enough to be considered awake by most standards. Now to attempt to disassemble my 49" monitor, finish a website, pick up the Aucturus camera for my soon-to-be-obtained Steam Frame from the PO Box, fix a leaky shower & remember to eat & drink some water.

Fml. I've been using Procreate all wrong. Somehow I missed the brush library switcher and have only been using the 'procreate library'. So the classic one has been out of sight/mind.
I've been drawing everything, every texture manually. Welp, I was already quick so this'll feel light speed now

I'm v puzzled as to why I've been randomly getting as many compliments for my car when going through drive-thrus lately. It's an 03' 350z close it's last legs. 4+ mentions in just the past month.
I can't tell if it's genuine since it's happened more recently than in the past ~8y that I've had it.

After I fix my monitor on Friday, I desperately need to make some proper art. I have a bunch of golden paint in storage, I'll probably still stick to digital but my goodness I have an overwhelming urge to just throw paint on canvas rn

Apparently Tapas is being shut down. I have a solid number of purchases on there for multiple series, it's been a great app.
When it's gone, what happens to all the comics I've paid for? Do they simply disappear to the ether?

Friday I am going to disassemble my super ultrawide monitor & manually remove the thermistor. Using my side regular ultrawide monitor alone is far to strenuous on my neck & I have work to get done T__T

I got waitlisted for Steam Frame. That's cool, it's not like I've been following since the day of announcement & joined the list at 9:57am PST because it was the last thing keeping me sane.
If you'll excuse me I need to go slam my head on a desk repeatedly for a few hours.

Today I heard an interesting idea about snails. I was surprised because I hadn't thought of that before.

My 49" Samsung Neo G9 decided to not work once I got back from my trip, apparently due to a hardware flaw with the thermistor for leaving it alone for more than a week..
I really don't want to crack it open to fix it but I'm not going to let a monitor I spent ~2k on just die randomly due to a flaw.

It took less than 5 mins of walking out of the airport to start sweating. I already miss Washington T__T
Now that PAX is over though & I'm back & Steam Frame launches Monday, I need to start looking for a new role & get my gallbladder sorted asap.

They finally got me, I upgraded to comfort for the legroom due to my bags lol
My suitcase was 11lbs too heavy so that cost another bill, but easier than dealing with two
Omw home now, unfortunately. Washington, soon enough; you will be my home.

Larches are super cool, Larix Laricina. I love the tiny pinecones. It's a bit early for a color change I suppose, but the branches are really cool

I received a free rupee from a super awesome skullkid in cosplay in the Gundam booth at PAX.
My friend Alex whom I went to college with was running the booth as well so it was good to see him again, alas no free merch/swag though T__T

Years of packing paper into my big binder during school prepared me for this day, packing my suitcase was a challenge this year 😂. Just a bit more difficult than when I had to fit 11 acrylic posters into the same suitcase lol. But it all fit! I just might be over the weight limit though..
