Pragmatic Magic
Maker of monsters, builder of props, misspeller of words.
Amateur artist and working class weirdo.
If you post ai, I will block you.
Come for the monsters, stick around for the yapping.
Respect the trans homies.

- Maybe growing up poor did it, but it absolutely blows my mind how wasteful people are. I still pull perfectly good material from the trash. Wood, metal, plastic, functional electronics. Got 45' of fence panels the other day! Why buy something to throw away? Use it or give it to someone in need!

- Stop! This is a work in progress checkpoint. QRP with your wip. I guess this is technically several works in progress...
- Wow. I really don't want to be at work today. Maybe we all should just go home and try again tomorrow.

- This is so true it hurts. Have ideas and a goal, but be prepared to make compromises. Sometimes things just dont work like they do in your head.

- Went to the artist meet up the other day. Despite my being a half mad hermit, I think it went well. Met some folks, talked a little shop, and planned some projects. It was nice to physically be amongst my people, and I'm excited to do it again. Now, more than ever, it's good to find community.

- Because I can't ever leave well enough alone, I now have brackets for ribs and started designing a sternum to link it all together. I get the feeling that I've started something that's going to get out of hand quickly.

- Was thinking about how I wanted to do some armature and suddenly remembered I have a 3d printer (don't judge, my brain and I aren't on speaking terms). Anyway, now I can print spines. That's pretty neat.
- Reposted by Pragmatic MagicI dont "NETWORK", I do not "keep a consistent schedule", I don't try to make my art "stand out" on people's feeds. I POST MY ART. And if it flops, I DON'T CARE.

- It's cool how I can just be enjoying my day, and then the full weight of the world will just crash in on me, and existential dread floods my brain. Yup... super cool.
- Actively choosing to be at work to deal with burnout because I know taking the day off would make me work harder. Brains are dumb.

- Fusion360 is my beloved. If you just need a thing, and need it fast, you really can't beat it. I can go from idea to printing in like 20 minutes.

- Every time my work computer asks if I want an ai summary of a technical drawing, it makes me want to scream. Especially when it bogs down everything else to do so. I hate this tech so so so much.
