Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Monday, Backup Reads and Bread

Long story short - I didn't want to stay up past midnight for all of the folds.

Time management is a lack-of-skill of mine :D

Four hours plus six hours plus wandering time would have equalled me putting the dough to rest at somewhere close to two fucking AM.

I put the dough to rest after the first fold. I'm doing the the rest of the three folds today, and then the first loaf after that. We will see how I feel about the second loaf by the end of that particular escapade.

There's a cyclone off the Queensland coast, and I am feeling it in my face. Extra fun for the shenanigans going on. Yay. My goals today include doing the backup reads, making my offerings, and figuring out what the hell's going on with the audio output in Zrythm. I shall be poking around in the settings there. I'll also be working on GameMaker. Now that it's updated, I have a thing to try within.

I have some skeleton of a PLN to get an audience(tm) but I also have to appeal to TikTok Brain. Do one-minute stories with art happening on the screen. Regularly. I have no idea how often I can do that or if the effort is worth the return on investment. It's worth a shot. Once you go viral in one platform, you go viral in all of them.

I have enough side-projects. I want time to enjoy my life. But I also want to make money from my creations. Enough to be comfortable.

I gotta make some decisions. Think about my options. Try things.

But first: Offerings.

Challenge #04445-L061: Deathworlder Health and Maintenance

"Human, you said water boils at 100 degrees Fahrenheit?"

Yes.

"And your fever is almost 102."

Yes.

"Why are you not boiling in your on flesh?"

It feels like it, but our bodies are stronger than that, and it's what kills viruses the fastest. When it comes to kill or cure? Nothing beats our immune systems. -- Fighting Fit

Companion Kank boggled at the Ships' Human. "What did you do before advanced medical intervention?"

"Aw come on. I'm not in a lot

Sunday, Game Night and Bread

I am going to have a long day. Because I need to make bread.

I can't put it to rest in the fridge until it's done with the fourth fold, and there's six hours after the starter's done incubating. Which takes four hours. So that's ten hours hence. More or less.

I'm getting to bed closer to midnight. Yikes.

At least I had a nap after VTTRPG.

We have a new player - who got bit by the newly werebat Kobold Rogue.

Challenge #04444-L060: Finding Justice

They called themselves a Cleric of Tyr, but their actions toward the dungeon and the Everdark adventurers that used it for training and loot-gathering, showed this person did not actually believe in what they espoused to be their god. But Tyr doesn't like it when people use their name without following the actual tenants. And it's time the Everdark adventurers had MORE than just one full sized dungeon to explore.

Saturday, Parkrun and Shenanigans

Miss Chaos earned her coffee toffees this week. All it took was me expressing my concerns. Would that that worked on her motivation to learn how to make a game.

I might have to find her some variety of McJob in order to appreciate that learning programming is the easier thing to do.

I'll ring APM if I have to.

Then I'll look into online courses to teach me how to properly use GameMaker and how much they might firkin cost.

Challenge #04443-L059: Imitation of Power

Making a statement - what you choose to wear can say a Lot about how you think. -- Anon Guest

Clothing has had messages behind it since one person decided to do something a little different with their garments. Or, as it may be, their decorations. Who was the first to create style, and who was the first to begin fashion. All that is certain is that the young have been using it to annoy adults since before records became available.

It's

Friday, IDEK

I'll be making bread this weekend. Possibly baking on Monday. I'm chasing Chaos to keep working on Stencyl to make a thing. I'm trying to find any group of professionals who could teacher.

The one place I did find operates solely in NSW and Victoria, focuses exclusively on children and mentions homeschooling a little too much for my personal comfort.

And there's literally nowhere else.

Any other searches for programming education and ASD just leads me to job offerings and education opportunities

Challenge #04442-L058: A Very Unusual Place

This species of fae ate dreams. But only bad ones. Needless to say, it lived near the orphanage. No child there ever had a bad dream last very long at all. -- Anon Guest

It wasn't just Elves, Wudsgaad, and Brauniin that came into Mundis Mortalidae in the beginning of the world. Of course they came with magic, but there are other things native to Nanogh that found their way through. Many monsters, and things that go bump in the night.

Thursday, Another Expedition

Today, my shopping mission includes finding a thumb drive that can be attached to a key ring, and then getting a really visible key ring to attach to it. All the better to store MeMum's backups and keep it Obvious(tm) so it doesn't get lost.

I cannot count the number of thumb drives MeMum has lost. Giving it something big and visible might help there. Might.

But I have to wait until the pay goes through before I head offski for

Challenge #04441-L057: Do Not the Humans

This group of idiotic deathworlders did not listen when the Alliance warned them not to harass the humans. Why do some people have to learn the hard way? -- Anon Guest

"Listen," said the AI guide. "You're big tough Deathworlders, and wish to prove it. There's other Deathworlders, here, and the temptation is very strong to test how Deathworlder they all are. There's arenas for that."

The tourist group grumbled a little, but seemed to accept the limit on their usual behaviour.

Wednesday, Rant Due and Patreon Nonsense

With the help of Beloved, I got MeMum's Kindle backed up. Since it was top priority, I left that day's story on the back-burner while the jiggery-pokery went on. It was closer to eleven at night by the time I got the basic offerings out.

So yeah, I'm a little tired today.

But I also know I can catch up on anything I missed yesterday and that includes recording some chapters for the Patreon! Woo!

I think I'm allowed to feel accomplished,

Challenge #04440-L056: Put Your Muscle Where Your Mouth is

They claim to be a cleric of Tyr, but they certainly don't seem to believe in the concept of justice. So how can you be a cleric of something you don't actually believe in? Simply put, you're not a true cleric. -- Anon Guest

[AN: Possibly in reference to this: https://peakd.com/fiction/@internutter/challenge-04426-l042-not-made-for-you ]

Powers of the Divine come from devoted worship to the god in question. The magic and how it effects the work depend not on the deity,

Tuesday, Grand Tech Expedition

Today, I help MeMum fight the forces of enshittification by securing her Kindle collection. And finding a way to purchase more ebooks without giving Bezos any more money. This will include instructions about how to transfer said ebooks to the Kindle.

I expect it's going to be a long day.

So I therefore suspect that I may not have time to get any of my expected offerings out onto the interwebs. If that happens, I'll have a grand catch-up session on

Challenge #04439-L055: Strangers in the Night

The way the human was staggering, I thought they were drunk. When they passed out to sleep, tests indicated they were merely severely sleep deprived. -- Anon Guest

There is one rule that covers all the space ways. Help others, for the trouble may one day be yours. In space travel, it was to always respond to a distress call. On more stable ground, the habit carried over to helping a stranger who clearly needed help.

Planetside, this meant paying attention to

Monday, PLNs underway

Adorable doesn't have any ideas for helping me fix LMMS, but has recommended an alternate music maker. I'll be looking into that later in the day.

I now have 89 chapters until ADT is declared finished and I can take a firkin break.

Tomorrow, I'm offski to help MeMum back up her Kindle purchases, and find somewhere she can obtain ebooks for her Kindle without giving any more money to Amazon.

It has to be possible, and a lot of authors are
