#LoveMakeShare day 6: "Share a recent book or article that you loved!" This stretches the prompt a little, but the last (hobby-related) thing that blew my mind was the patent paper for Falk-type folded maps, complete with maths on how to determine the fold and cut lines for any format. Because it's basically just a fucking huge #zine. I've attached the drawings from the last page. Full patent (long expired) is here: https://www.dpma.de/docs/postergalerieneu/patentschriften/026falkplan-gerhardfalk.pdf

#LoveMakeShare day 7: "We’ve all got a white whale of a project. What’s yours?" I have this #crochet sweater in lace weight yarn. Tunisian entrelac. I've been stuck on sleeve Island for three years or something.

My bicycle chain sprang off. I was just on my way home from a long ass work day. It's almost as if it had heard my plans to clean and lubricate the chain and gears last weekend which I didn't follow through.

I was too exhausted and done with the day to fix it on the spot, I didn't want to get dirty either. So I walked it home and put it in the shed. Gonna walk to the station tomorrow, too. I'll be going on a three day business trip anyway.

I forgot to post yesterday, so here's a double feature for #LoveMakeShare! Day 12: "What’s your longest-running WIP? Is there an end in sight?" That Tunisian #crochet sweater on sleeve island, I mentioned it a few days ago. Day 14: "What’s the most important piece of software in your process these days?" The Google suite with notes and docs and forms, most importantly Google docs. I do most of my drafting and #writing on my phone! That applies to both fiction and #ttrpg stuff.

Aaand here's another catch-up post for #LoveMakeShare as my wage work has occupied much of my days lately. Day 15: "Shout out a maker in your life who had an impact on you." Probably @Quabbl@mastodon.art and her partner noodmuz as well as @pushcart@mastodon.art who showed me that self publishing your projects is a valid and fruitful path that does not imply a compromise in quality. #indiecomics #selfpublishing #aquabox #rememberingGale

#LoveMakeShare Day 21 (I'm up to schedule again, yay!): "What’s the most you’ve ever over-committed to a project?" I think that's the #ttrpg setting book I've been writing about before. I did so much research on the era that inspired the setting. How did the books look, what kind of typography was common at the time, how were title and interior pictures laid out, all that stuff that probably no one will notice and appreciate. And that's why I'm writing a "making of" blog post, too 😂

#LoveMakeShare catch-up for... Day 20: "It’s apparently National Streaming Day. Do you stream your creative work? Why or why not?" As I do most of my creative work either on my phone during work commutes or on the couch while watching stuff on the big screen, I don't stream. In addition, sticking to a schedule gives me pressure. And I detest lengthy set-up procedures. But I've thought about making little tutorial videos for #ttrpg layout with #scribus. Let me know if that'd help you!

#LoveMakeShare catch-up (and mix-up - whoops!) for... Day 18: "What’s the most recent tool or material you incorporated into your process?" The most recent new tool was affinity. I've used it to layout a #ttrpg setting book that's very likely going to be released digitally this week! (I need to fix a little mistake but that requires some peace of mind and time with my desktop PC). The most recent material was public domain art from Wikimedia Commons that I edited and put into that book.

#LoveMakeShare day 4: "If you could add any tool to your toolkit today, what would it be?" I'm torn between a small print shop run by little goblins and a tool that pulls out just the information from a rulebook/bestiary that I need for what I'm just writing. I know the latter is probably some form of LLM application but I'm not convinced by the technology's reliability and output quality in its current state.

#LoveMakeShare day 11: "Monday again! Do you get to apply your creativity in your day job?" I get to paint a lot of presentation slides, so yes. And sometimes I'm in the position to decide how a teaching or training format should be constructed. I've successfully snuck a Lego-assisted planning game (Decisions & Disruptions, https://www.decisions-disruptions.org/ ) into one format. And there's a big box with material for constructing Matrix Games on my desk, a multi party planning game for complex situations.

#LoveMakeShare day 5: "Scope creep affects us all. Have you ever managed to perfectly scope a project that could easily have gotten out of control?" I'm doing better on smaller #ttrpg projects than on bigger ones. With #knitting, I'm usually good at shopping scoping apart from that one time when I decided to do a beaded lace shawl 😅 It really helps that I'm not a perfectionist.

#LoveMakeShare catch-up for... Day 19: "What’s a creative problem you’re trying to solve?" There's two on my back burner. I want to learn #ttrpg #dungeonDesign methodologically. I've started a project to do this but it's on hold due to stuff I'm doing for or together with others. And I need to find a way to hand sew a backing on an English Paper Pieced hex map #quilt for #Battletech. And especially find a way that I can endure because sewing does not spark much joy for me. #epp

And also rest in peace to the pins I've lost so far: A really really nice little golden stylized halo from the "Heart of Gold Vol. 1" pre-order bundle - a comic by Eli Baum and Viv Tanner. And a large tarot cards and flowers pin by Totoroki from a Kickstarter campaign. No chance to get another one of either of them. So sad 😢

Hello #fountainpen community and #QueerInkSquad ! I'm looking for a new notebook to replace a Leuchtturm and while I really like the Leuchtturm, I want to broaden my horizon and try something new. Please give me recommendations for a paper notebook:

- A5 sized
- dotted grid
- fountain pen friendly paper
- available in the EU
- (semi) hard cover
- bonus: bookmark ribbon
- bonus: small scrap pouch in the back

:BoostOK:

Hell yeah, the first #AngineDePoitrine cover videos are starting to appear! There was this guitarist who mangaged to recreate the microtonal sound by tuning just one string differently. And now, there's an awesome cover of Sherpa on the #SID6851 , the sound chip from the #C64. I didn't know that it supported microtonal music but apparently you can adjust the pitch quite freely. Enjoy!

Ugh, I slept like half of what I usually sleep. This will be a day with lots of caffeine.

Met a friend on the train who I haven't seen in a while and we talked about a cool detective puzzle game he designed for his son's birthday party, and about how shitty and overwhelming wage work is for both of us lately.

At least I remembered to take the #5e stuff with me. Gonna DM a one shot for/with colleagues after work, my boss was curious about this #dnd her son keeps taking about. #ttrpg #pnpde

#LoveMakeShare catch-up for... Day 17: "It’s Victoria Day in Canada! Do you plan to make things when you have a long weekend coming up?" May has two long weekends over here due to public holidays rooted in Christian religion. Unfortunately, May and June are high season at my (wage) workplace - think what Christmas time does to retail workplaces. So I'll be mostly relaxing and going with the flow instead of planning stuff out.

I have very fond memories of #Gargoyles, but out of fear of disenchantment, I haven't dared to start a rewatch (yet). #PowerRangers was great, too! Though not a cartoon. It's free to watch on YouTube these days, at least in my part of the world.

I don't wanna fall into a research rabbit hole, so I'm putting this question on here.

Regarding the history of #GPU / graphics cards hardware architecture, I know that these chips have evolved from the need to calculate floating point operations efficiently. Nowadays, GPUs prominently feature high parallel processing capabilities. Is this an evolution from the floating point thing or did it stem from another step in computer graphics like increasingly complex shading?

Back cover stickers: The moon is from a tintenreise swap. The moon face with sword is from Bela Großlaub, a German artist/illustrator. Bought from his kofi shop. The gator is from a sticker sheet I got as a birthday gift from my sister some years ago. Looks like a redbubble product but I don't know the artist.

Front cover stickers: Look Mum No Computer purchased directly from the artist at a concert. Bird on pizza from a German artist (forgot her name), bought about six years ago at LBM/MCC convention. The quote is from David Graeber, an anthropologist and anarchist activist, I got it from a sticker box (likely at Hackover). The cat is from the same sticker box. The plant is from a sumikko gurashi sticker sheet. The hacker sticker is from Stiftung Datenschutz, I cropped it to fit the space.
