I like making things and witnessing other people make things. Myself I do #EmbeddedDev and #Programming alongside a fair amount of writing and TTRPG design. Dipping my toes into pixel art and eurorack modular synthesis.

I am actively trying to curate a feed of people who make things, build worlds, and spread peace.

Apparently instead of Tapestry Will Be Free Always and then shutting it down I should have kept it alive, made it a bit more enterprise relevant, and then shafted my enterprise users at the last minute.

#ScribesAndMakers June 22: Have you ever worked collaboratively on a creative project with others? How did it go?

Let me introduce y'all to @CannibalMILF, who I've mentioned the Resident Evil/now original IP work with! It's very much her show, but I'm editing and offering suggestions for adjustments. I'd say it's going pretty well!

Which is good, because I've had it go very poorly in past efforts. There's a reason I ended up a solo dev. XD

Have you ever worked collaboratively on a creative project with others? How did it go?

Yes. I wrote a novel with my elder offspring.

It took forever for us to finally put our pieces together.

We're still struggling with the sequel. We each have our own projects and both are loath to put them aside.

Perhaps after this next book we can work together again.

#ScribesAndMakers June 22: Have you ever worked collaboratively on a creative project with others? How did it go?

All creative processes are necessarily collaborative. I've had some projects where I've handed over the project completely to other people (python-enigma is probably the most clear example of this). I've had other projects where we all ideate at each other about our proximal-but-ultimately-unrelated projects as a form of group dissociative brainstorming.

Plus, I've been a line cook for a time, a chef for a time, and an engineer for a time. The fundamentals of "Hey Patch Go Get Paid" are "multiple people striving toward a common goal".

Or, to save time banging my head against the wall, I can just buy a perfectly cromulent pattern from a real human artist and start makin' the fuckin thing rightly instead of trying to make it wrongly five times first.

FUUUUUUUCK I forgot I have to renew my learner's permit.

This small blip in the day is causing a complete meltdown so I think Pretending To Be Productive hours are done and I'm going to go charge my switch or something.
