Foot 2021, Part Four

Had my first follow-up after the surgery today. He said it looks good. Everything is healing up, and so far it looks like I’m making a solid recovery. There’s still some drainage from one spot, but that’s to be expected from a bone infection like I had. Doctor referred to it as my “Flux Capacitor”… Read More »

@!#?@! I’m bored. My mobility restrictions and the nature of my injury mean I’ve spent most of the last few days in bed. I’m allowed to shuffle around the upstairs, mainly to the bathroom, but I’m also allowed to sit upright at my desk as long as I can keep pressure off the sutures. What… Read More »

Foot 2021, Part Two-A: Hostibule Food

There were two disappointments and two happy discoveries with the hostibule’s room service. That said, they were every bit as solid as they had been last year. These are the only two “problems” I had when I was there, and they deserve a raise. Their food and excellent customer service helped make a nasty situation… Read More »

Foot 2021, Part Two

So I wound up in the hostibule again… More or less the same problem as last year, but on the other foot. Wednesday a week and a half ago, I had a follow-up after work. Doctor looked at it, said I needed to stay off it as much as possible, wrapped it back up, and… Read More »

Game Design Derp

So I had me an idea today at work. While debating what to do next on one of my bigger projects, I ran across about a dozen posts about some game jam that just happened this weekend (I assume). Everyone was talking about the little games they cranked out as part of it, and it… Read More »

Long weekend and I'm recovering from yet another foot injury, so I'm spending some time on Monkey Business. Which means so far a lot of admin catch-up. I have projects going for Devil Monkey and Murphy Tech Services, and I can only do so much on breaks at work. On the upside, I can do… Read More »

Foot 2021, Part One

Same insanity, different year and foot, less severe. So last week I was having trouble walking again. Pain in the pad of my left foot just south of my little toe, in the exact same spot as my adventure last year. Checked it out and I had that weird callous I get on both feet… Read More »

What Does Patrick Eat?

Exciting stuff, I know, but it keeps coming up. Most notably at the hostibule last summer. My numbers were all kinds of screwed up, to the point that a couple of doctors felt it necessary to accuse me of mismanaging my diet – I’m diabetic, so I have special dietary requirements. Then they saw my… Read More »

Create28 After-Action Report

Hey, I did it. 28 days, 28 3D models. And some of them aren’t completely awful, either. Several have definite potential for use as-is or after improving them with some more work. I think I’ll continue this, but with less models of higher quality and without doing it as some kind of internet challenge. Specifically,… Read More »

Two weeks ago I wound up focusing largely on assets for the Rokkit game. This week I ended up focusing on a rebuild of the player hovercraft for Hovercraft Bumper Cars. I went modular with it so I can reuse parts and create variants; a back-burner project is in-game hovercraft customization and procedurally generated hovercraft. … Read More »
