I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.
Resin dice, novels, 3D prints, paintings, video games, wooden furniture, RPG scenarios. I have way too many hobbies and maybe two hours per week to work on them, so in reality I create very little. But making something physical is incredibly helpful for keeping the worst of my depression at bay.
I had a shop that made flaming nipple tassels, though I just closed down until the future is more certain. I also create sideshow and fire performances. My most recent one involves a drill and my skull.
And finally, a lot of D&D content, such as an entire world setting inspired by the tarot deck
Small mutant corn plants in little containers.
As a welder, I create a ton of shit. Today, I created a new handle for a lathe, cut off the old one, and bolted on my part so the lathe functions (mostly).
Duct tape and cardboard solutions to questions like “How do I get these two pieces of photography equipment to work together?”
maybe systems. my work tends to be getting one or more systems to do something a business wants.
I create web applications! 🎉 (AKA I’m a typical Lemmy user.)
Philosophical ramblings to justify my existence, which according to capitalism has no value because I don’t have the ability to work.
Me: “If I make a new mascot platformer (gratis) with vertex colors, maybe someone would get me out of here? What are the chances and outcomes? Would I even have enough time to make something decent with current conditions?”
Blender, Godot 4, player controller in Nim-lang via gdext-nim, and on top of the 3 hats I need to learn I don’t have many viable ideas.
Also somewhat related to the social isolation thread in showerthoughts, I live on the edge of nowhere and don’t even want to drive.
My body is a machine that turns caffeine into uptime.
Disappointment
Carbon dioxide. A metric [emphasis]-ton of dust. Other waste.
Sometimes I write small Perl programs or Bash scripts, but that’s rare, and it’s mostly for my own benefit or amusement; even more rarely do I share them.
Sometimes despair. Sometimes happiness. Hopefully a sense of being informed and/or entertained if not also a (weak?) sense of camaraderie by means of weird little text interactions with people online.
Shout out from a fellow (<=>) enthusiast
Chaos and discord.
Various 3d printed items, Last week I sewed some dust covers for my HOTAS peripherals, scripts to help manage my media library, nonsense comments on Lemmy.
Lots of poo.
A good bit actually though. I’m disabled, so no job. This means that while I’m on my ass recovering from the necessities of living like cooking and cleaning, I have a shit ton of spare time.
Part of that is spent fucking around on lemmy.
The rest is usually spent on some variety or another of writing fiction. Short stories, a few ongoing novels, that sort of thing. Here and there a poem or song will pop in my head.
Then there’s a bit of panting, occasional drawing, that kind of visual art.
I’ve also been known to run ttrpg sessions here and there, which is its own art form in a way.
I like to create software tools for people smarter than me to create bigger and better things.
