34. Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon (PC)

The DS is one of my favorite consoles ever. So many incredible experiences and phenomenal games. The four that come to mind are games that excel on the DS: while you can absolutely play them elsewhere (via re-releases or emulation), there's a real magic that comes from the dual screen experience.

Some more sketches, the three comics from yesterday's episode of Crowd Control on Dropout and my quick attempt of the Frieren head looking up sketch. That angle suuuuucks, no thank you!!

33. The Sins of Lord Lockwood by Meredith Duran

Marriage-in-trouble books are hard to do well, but damn Meredith Duran absolutely kills it. Both sides have wronged the other, both are hurt and dealing with their own issues and each other, both have to forgive and be forgiven. Just a great book.

32. Asunder by Kerstin Hall

I joked to my book club that if I had a nickel for every book we read where a guy got turned inside out, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

(Really enjoyed Asunder, though!)

A five minute face/upper body sketch and then about twenty 30-second hand gesture sketches as I slowly get back into drawing.

I spent over 250 hours getting a complete living Pokedex in X and I have no regrets

I'm going to spend the entire time building the G-Bouncer just saying "The Bouncer" like the PS2 game over and over and over

31. A Curse Carved in Bone by Danielle L. Jensen

Much like Witch King: out of all the books I read this year, this was definitely one of them. Just found it hard to care about any of the characters or plot or the romance or... anything.

30. A Lady's Code of Misconduct by Meredith Duran

Amnesia is a trope rarely done well, but Meredith pulls it off expertly. We have a heroine who is truly in the wrong, a hero trying to redeem himself for past transgressions, and some really great villains. Just an all around banger.

28. Demon Turf (PC)
October 2, 2025 at 7:40 PM
Some prime "draw the rest of the fucking owl" going on, but once I started I needed to finish it. Not because it's great but because I wanted it off my desk. Extremely finicky, had to use pliers to get some pieces together, falls apart if I look at it but it was also only 11 dollars, so.

A little tight fitting so far, but not bad!

In my on-going quest to build a suit from every Gundam I've seen, I have bought a third party bootleg Stargazer from AliExpress.

However this goes, it'll probably be better than spending eighty dollars on an old kit, right?

...right?

29. What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

A really quick one that took me far too long to read. I sped through the last 75% once I got going though. Gotta read the others in the series soon!

28. The Heartbreak Hotel by Ellen O'Clover

A delightful romance full of big feelings and gentle spaces for healing and recovery after all kinds of heartbreak. Really great, highly recommend.

It's time for everyone's (?) favorite (??) useless grunt suit (???), the Genoace from AGE!

I'm almost through my AGE quest and it's a show I do not think about for even a second after I've finished watching an episode. Paced too quickly but also plods along. Some decent suit designs, though!

37 today! I spent a good chunk of the day watching F1, playing pinball, and having a beer. A perfect birthday.

Being extremely busy at work plus cohost dying plus being gamer mode for a while now means it's been a bit since I finished any model kits but I'm happy to have completed two of my white whale kits: the Mercurius and Vayeate!
