#puppet builder problems: these monsoon-like rains hammering the window will make it hard to open it for the ventilation I need while doing the gluing I have on the schedule 🫤

Flash of memory to early #Usenet groups where you’d get flamed for posting anything that even smelled like an ad.
That’s the Internet they stole from you, children.

Remember last month when I said I should make a purple monkey? #puppets #puppetbuilder
Tepid take: no you don’t have to separate the art from the artist. There are thousands of talented artists in the world. Your life won’t be lesser without Harry fucking Potter. Find something else.
Why do I never notice the spelling error until after I post the image? Sigh.

#puppet folk, if you’d like something specific from me, now’s a great time to reach out! Email operationpuppet@kevinblades.com and let’s talk! #puppetbuilder #smallbusiness #artist #commissionsopen
#Warframe is simple. It's about space ninjas. And interplanetary mecha-flesh virus zombies. And eldritch beings outside of spacetime toying with the fabric of reality. And decorating & dating. And sentient machines exacting vengeance on a future Roman empire.
Simple.
I may be one of the lucky ones. I have experienced notable improvements in both mental and physical ability since I’ve put the effort in to keep both types active.
Don’t go quietly, folks. Fight the long defeat. Get off your damn phone. And my lawn. #aging

I sometimes lament my "small & niche" creator status but it must be utterly *miserable* to be a big #streamer and be forced to play whatever the flavour of the minute is lest you lose your livelihood. Instant way to make games un-fun.
Managed to stay on my (healthy) calorie budget all week for the first time in a while. Need to drop a few winter/anxiety pounds.
If you struggle with weight, I’m with you. It’s constant. Just gotta keep going.
Both asbestos and radon are apt comparisons to #AI but I’d like to add 19th Century Spiritualism. A craze spun by huskters and con artists that smelled a bit like actual science but ultimately relied on our human need to anthropomorphize everything.
Three puppet listed on the direct shop, aY ellow Smol, a blue Smol and a green frog-like hand and rod puppet
Please forgive the crass commercialism, this tiny #artist gotta pay the bills.
New #puppet listings up on the shop, including a Legally Distinct Celebrity Amphibian 🐸! www.operationpuppet.com/my-direct-sh... #smallbusiness #kermit
Okay maybe, just *maybe* the "what if Ordis from #Warframe was a Muppet?" puppet might be on for #Tennocon. If I have time. 🤞
Roller coaster day. Found out someone I had thought was an old friend did something quite hurtful, and then a bunch of new folks from The #GamersTavern (Fediverse gaming group) showed up to the build stream and we had a lovely time.
Don’t let anyone tell you online friends aren’t real friends. 🤗

Didn’t get to quite finish these two critters on #stream but they’re done! #puppets #puppetbuilding
Timeline cleanse! #Puppets! Chill crafty hangoutage on the build #stream. #YouTube #Twitch #puppetbuilding

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
Yes there will be a #puppet build stream in just over 1hr from this post. I regret to inform you I haven’t had time to do my nails. Goth shame.
PSA: I'm part of a couple of communities that will remain so I'm not leaving the platform, but I am debating shutting down the O:P #Discord server itself. It's pretty quiet and I have alternatives for the things I need. More TBD.

Simpsons screen with text "computers will be twice as powerful 10,000 times larger and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them."
I just want to know how they knew. #Simpsons #AI #Windows
Consider a future where you *must* use #Windows 12 because switching to #Linux is "illegal" thanks to Age Verification nonsense.
It's clear the Corpos are literally trying to remove the ability for anyone to use compute without their gatekeeping. The time to fight that is now.
“ #AI is everywhere, you can’t avoid it” they say. Yo, so is fecal matter but I don’t seek out a big heaping bowl full of it.
ICYMI this weekend I posted a new #podcast episode and #Warframe video. This small #creator would be thankful if you shared them around! 🙏

It really speaks to the moment that I’m getting nostalgic for the pandemic.
My next 5 Min Meditations on #Warframe is up! This time: time! #Tennocreate #vtuber #youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFzI...
Just finished the script for the next #Warframe video and it starts with a David Bowie quote. You're welcome.
The plan: regular Saturday evening game #streaming coming soon(tm), and tomorrow I start work on the next #Warframe video cuz I want to get more out before #Tennocon.
Honestly it’s nice to just have something to look *forward* to.
Yeah, on the one hand I really do like the "fresh start" of Seasons, but I wish there was more of a reason to go and play in Eternal. That would be enough to keep me invested.
There's that word again. Warframe really understands the long game.
#Warframe really has spoiled me for other games, particularly #Diablo4. I love D4 but the disposable nature of seasonal characters makes me feel like I'm wasting my time, whereas Warframe always feels like an investment in progression. And the Eternal Realm is basically a graveyard. 🫤
