How am I supposed to work with Total Warhammer 2, DOS2 and PROVENANCE OUT?!

I need more forks... obviously.

"Sex robot called Samantha 'who has brain and can tell jokes' goes on sale in UK for ÂŁ3,500" This was at the top of my reddit feed..

Work Vent 

I am banning myself from the UK because otherwise Reading might suffer a freak, storm dragoness rage induced tornade-lightning storm event.

What is so hard about move these two servers to this rack, use whatever 2 RUs are easiest for you to install them out list of 20 open RU.. then wire them like this, using available ports on the switch, please inform me which specific ports you us.

THIS SHOULD NOT TAKE LIKE 3 DAYS OF BACK AND FORTH AND WAKING ME UP 4 HOURS BEFORE MY DAY STARTS!

New Diet things

Onomnom... baby kale and spinach salad, boneless "country style" ribs aka pork shoulder.
Plenty of fiber! :D

In other news.. if you have not watched American Gods.. you really should.. it is amazing.

Hands are less swollen today and the rest of me does not itch.. downside... hands are itch despite 100mg of atarax... which was stopping the itching yesterday.. blaaah.

On a positive side majority of the hives are fading...

Dear Meat body,

Please stop. Diverticilitus was terrible. Now we are doubling down with an autoimmune reaction possibly triggered by the cipro given to treat it. I would like for my skin to stop itching and burning.. I don't need hives over 60% of skin... or my hands so swollen I can barely use them.
Knock it off... pretty please?
It is driving me insane.

Sincerely,
The Mind Trapped in your meat.

VICTORY! STORM DRAGONS ARE SUPERIOR!

Long story short I spent a lot of time and effort fixing a cobbler box... tftp was working fine but any pxeboot attempt failed.

Devs responsible for configuring cobbler kept blaming it on networking.. finally I go rooting around and every boot attempt is failing on read request for pxelinux.0... enable bulk transfers and suddenly it works! :D

More evidence to pile of "I don't trust this dev team"

And fucking remote hands pulled a random drive out the system above the one I instructed them to replace a drive in today.. thanks guys.. read the damn labels..

It sucks... and maybe you weren't to blame but it was a joint effort and now you are left with something that you aren't happy with, it will probably never see the light of day, can't really be fixed and it's a crappy feeling.

And you go back to not commissioning art again... or maybe just not new things because they are hard and a risk.

Now I guess I need to write a few thousand characters of something positive to offset this.

The result doesn't look anything like what you intended, at all. But what can you do? You paid up front. The money isn't really the issue.

It takes to make something like that... so did you screw up? Did you not communicate clearly? What happened?

Here is the worst part. At the start you were excited.. and now it is the worst kind of disappointment.. because you blame yourself. Maybe you weren't clear, maybe your communication was inadequate, maybe not but you can't say that.

things.

Aurora offered to help found someone.. and sure two page of overly expressive prose might be too much but really you are trying to put this piece of yourself out there and you want t get it right? All of got are words since i can just pluck an image from my brain and say "Like that!"

So someone says, "Well can you make it shorter" and you do.. still keeping the key parts you hope..

But them here is the part that makes me get so gunshy about commissions..

So like I've had some really amazing stuff commissioned in the past and gifted to me. Things that made my jaw drop or literally all I could thing of was "NAILED IT!!!"

That is awesome. I love that feeling.

And SAM makes it pretty easy, I have a decent amount of stuff of her over the years to reference though never actually a reference sheet. Some of you probably I've had a new shape rolling around in my head for a bit. But I'm always so wary and almost scared to commission art of new..

I hate this feeling. It's stupid but at the same time I want to talk about it because it's grinding right now and feels like it won't go away until I get it out somewhere.

Commissioning art is hard for me, like nearly anxiety inducing. It's why I don't do it very often. It's time consuming (or at least it can be) stressful because you are putting a thing that is in your head out there and trying to express it in a manner so someone else can translate it into a visual something....

I am sad.. 

It's that feeling when you devour a 600 page book you've been looking forward to for months.. in 2 days.

And it was really good but also ended up with "That just leaves further questions?!"
