Am home safe, travel and stuff today went fine. Body seems to be doing a bit better too.

(Will do more detail later but wanted to make sure people didn't worry)

I'm worried that sounds melodramatic

But I've either got the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had from some falafel (highly unlikely), a weirdass response to going back on Quetiapine (only slightly less unlikely), or my body is telling me I'm pushing too hard in New And Exciting Ways

So I may be literally too sick to do the journey back solo/early. Still.. Will be home one way or another tomorrow, come hell or high water. That's the important thing.

I put a great deal of time, effort and money into going into an irl meetup thing.

It went exactly as they tended to when I stopped going to them. (aka: "Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes")

Still. Is only tonight and tomorrow left, then I'm home again.

Will try to foreshorten tomorrow as much as possible, but that depends a lot on physical symptoms that have been made a lot worse by this.

Might not be physically feasible in my current state.

I swear to god this place needs an exorcism.

I am in glorious Birmingham!

Glorious, dreary Birmingham.

..Look, not by *choice*.

God Western music notation/terminology is a butt

Just.. Just throw it out and replace it with something where one word doesn't have a half-dozen different potential meanings

And half of them are old Italian words

And we've got some stuff left in from, uh *checks notes* ..Medieval church organs?

..Yeah, maybe get a feather duster in here

@theoutrider & @bentosmile don't like Deep Space 9 and the Les Miserables musical

But despite these failings they're still two of my Problematic Faves here and I'm grateful to be friends with them both

I still crack up whenever anyone posts

" something about whales [cetacean needed] "

Please never stop doing that joke

I got some Unity learning stuff done!

Like, today was "foggy ughhh fffn push through do this" (which is not a good idea for learning tasks) but then chilled for a bit with K and came back to it a couple of hours later and got some actual stuff done

And felt like I absorbed what I was doing, which is the important part

Unity Updater:
Unity is up to date!
Version: 2017.3.4

That seems somewhat unlikely, Unity.. =_=

Thinking about ideas and inspirations for (currently still concept art design stage) isometric tactics game where the core gameplay is fighting Big Monsters as a party and

Wow if Mouse Guard doesn't absolutely nail that "I will never achieve how cool you make this look, wow" in its fight scenes

Like, just that "Wow. Big.. Big.. Big predator. And we are tiny creatures with pointy bits of metal. I feel outclassed here." vibe

"Tell me.. Are the kids still arguing about whether Kanye is problematic?"
"No, Grandza Bat. Kanye uploaded himself into a robot panther body and flew off to Alpha Centurai."
"Oh.. Okay. Was it problematic?"
"Oh, very problematic."
"Okay."
