TL;DR: I stopped publishing content a while ago. Instead of promising a speedy return to form (whatever that is), I want to get into what made me stop in this update, and maybe how I can remedy that. This is usually the point where I tell you that “yes, I… Continue Reading Yet Another Long Overdue Update
This is a project I have had laying around in my shop for 7+ years. It is based on an old toy I found in the trash bin at the local Kindergarten. I am going to call this toy “Chicken Peck”, because it features pecking chicken. But I have decided… Continue Reading Doctor Chicken Peck – Keep or Yeet #1
What is an Intrusive Pattern? What does it intrude upon, and what is the actual pattern? This is about one of the Materials from the game Control, which are metaphysical things you can collect.
