I used to make shit. Websites, blog posts, physical projects, you name it. Over the years, that work has dwindled and I've become depressed. Blah blah blah causation and correlation whatever, I want to make shit again. So in an effort to not give up via analysis paralysis like I usually do, here's a blog (made with ghost). And taken one glorious step further, a blog post.

The goal is to post something every day. I don't know what yet, but it'll probably be a smattering of things I've learned, progress on various ideas and projects I may be working on, or just some shitty musings before midnight so I don't break a streak or whatever I convince myself of.

I've been into game development lately, and Godot is a blast. I stall because of art, though the abundance of free resources I've been finding through itch.io and kenney.nl (among others, but share more if you've got 'em) has made it easier to make progress on things using placeholders while I figure out new tools like Aseprite and dare myself to once again attempt to learn blender. I have two main ideas in very early stages; maybe I'll share progress of those at some point.

I love PHP, but have a lack of motivation or inspiration to do anything besides spin up another new Laravel instance and make the first few models. Eventually I'll struggle to decide on a frontend because I swear this time I'll make a native app and then the project is two major versions behind like all the rest.

Physical media is something I'd like to do more of, though the setup for any of that will take time. This ugly green paint in my office does pique my curiosity over using it as a video background, but that's a can of worms I dare not open yet.

So here we are. An overly snarky blog post with no real content. But hey, I stood up a blog and posted on it today. It's more than I did yesterday.
