Update #114 Live confused, die profuse

Hey! Nice music? Sweet! Would you wanna come join a bible discussion?

If you're confused by the intro, then you're feeling the exact same thing I did yesterday when some bloke crossed the street and uttered those words at me. I wasn't even listening to music, I just had my headphones on to ensure that no one talks to me.

Because of this I have now come to the conclusion that I need to change my look. Either in a direction where I just don't look like a person who would ever consider joining a bible discussion, or even better, someone that might turn violent if you acknowledge their existence.

I've been told that I look kind before, and I have never been more offended in my life. Clearly a complete reinvention of my exterior is in need. I'm thinking face tattoos to begin with.

Wait, are you telling me I can write fancy captions here now? Neat!

Huh, Patreon has already done a bit of reinventing I can see. Not sure if anything is visible on your side, but writing a post is a bit different. Seems like a good change though, so kudos for that.

Now that I've vented a bit I'll give an update on the game. Scene 5 is completely done, which is good. I was hoping to get more done than that, but progress is progress.

This means all the previews will be from scene 5 again, which makes it a bit tough to pick them. They should be spicy, but I also don't want to spoil too much of the scene. You know what, I had already chosen four pics, but right now I decided on a fifth one with a bit of extra spice. You'll see it at the very end. Unless you've already scroll-aaand they're gone. Huh. And here I thought my writing was the star of the show.

Welp, nothing to do about that, so on we go. Scene 6 is a pretty standard affair, and scene 7 is very short. Maybe I'll manage both next week? Would be quite nice, because that would take me straight to scene 8, which is a long one that contains some of the stupidest things I have ever written.

Is it stupid in a good way or in an eye-rolling kind of way? I dunno, you're going to have to tell me. I have of course also tickled myself by naming it "Scene 8 - A discourse on the finer points of Imperial stewardship."

Wait. I never posted the scene list thingy for this episode right? Well, well. I'll add it towards the end.

Say hello to my little friend...

Also, a little update on stuff from last update: It's looking better already, he's still in the psych ward but has been allowed... furlough? That can't be right. Stupid Google Translate. Hold on, I'll need to get to the bottom of this.

...

Oh. Right. You just say leave. He's gotten several hours of leave per day for the last few days, which is very promising. Get to spend time with family and what not, so that's nice. Remains to be seen whether he can implement some long term changes in his lifestyle, because I think that's sorely needed.

Is that some sort of super secret advanced massage technique?

New uni course is starting on Monday, which is when I'll finally know exactly what I'll be doing for the next year. There's nothing physically stopping me from looking that up ahead of time, but if you've been reading these updates for a while, I'm sure it'll come as no surprise that I simply do not live life that way.

Being prepared and ready is something that happens to other people. Me, I ramble about, never quite aware of where I'm headed or how I'll get there, but always moving. Not because I think that's the better way of doing things, but because it's the only way I know how to do things. Live confused, die profuse.

What does die profuse mean? I don't know, I didn't spend anytime thinking about it beyond the fact that pro and con are opposites which makes it sound funny.

Ooh, here's the extra spicy pic you ordered.

I'm not sure why I've started enjoying rendering people with fingers in their mouths. Eh, who am I kidding, I know exactly why.

I was going to spend some time here coming up with a title, then I decided that my stupid phrase from before the pic will do just fine.

It really ought to be profused, but that doesn't seem to be a valid word as far as I can tell. Which makes my next goal obvious, I need to find the person at Oxford who's balls I need to kick in order to change that. I'll keep track of the number of kicks as well, so that I'll know for next time.

Oh right, here's the scene list:

• Scene 1 - A critique on crowd work

• Scene 2 - Polishing off celestial battles

• Scene 3 - Out and about

• Scene 4 - Curses and consequences

• Scene 5 - A motherly massage

• Scene 6 - Sussy bakas

• Scene 7 - A discourse on the finer points of verminhood

• Scene 8 - A discourse on the finer points of Imperial stewardship

• Scene 9 - Quelling the sequel

• Scene 10 - The early train gets the bird

• Scene 11 - Clean-up crew

• Scene 12 - Destructive writing

• Scene 13 - Last warning

• Scene 14 - High literature

• Scene 15 - A demon and her master

Anyway, that's about all the stuff I had to yap about today. And now I made myself cringe by using the word yap. This is what getting older is all about, learning exactly why the adults hated your childhood vocabulary.

Thank you so much for your support, and I wish you a profuse week! (Profused is pending until sufficient amounts of ballkicking)
