Gotta go to this Toastmasters meeting here shortly. Fucking humiliating.

At least it gets me out of work two hours early twice a month.

I had to google it to make sure it wasn't about the art of roasting bread. But hey don't be so down, you might learn a thing or two.

Think I saw Anon3 at the Walter Scott protest demonstration thing.

Spoiler:

My mistake if that's not him, but you have to at least appreciate the similarity.

by **Remie Richards** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 6:16 am #82121

if it isn't him, An0n3 needs to get his shotgun and kill his doppelgänger, There can be only one.

by **Fragnostic** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 10:08 am #82132

Haha, it really does look just like him.

On a different note, I actually live in Charleston and North Charleston isn't but a few miles away. There are a ton of protestors blocking some of the roads and I'm afraid that all the violence instigators coming from Ferguson are going to propagate violence here. They seem to condone violence, as if they want to start a riot here, too. I sort of have hope for the people of my area being that Southern folk tend to be far too polite as a whole to want to riot over this.

Just the other day, there was a group of protestors walking into an upscale restaurant in our downtown and they started chanting and calling for justice in the middle of the customers' brunch. Seems very disrespectful to interrupt a person's meal, it's just so inappropriate in this setting. It seems like they want to reenact lunch counter sit-ins like civil rights leaders did in the 70s, but the truth is that they are more than welcome to eat there. No one is denying them that right, but they'd like to pretend to be victims. Again, it's mostly out of town Ferguson protestors doing this shit. Like, why?

Good God, my joints are killing me. Sunday night it actually hurt to lay down. That's never happened before. Every joint below my waist and above my toes was screaming at me. Today my knees are stiff and achy, though not as bad as they were yesterday. This is what I get for running a mile at 7 mph when I'm really sore from doing it the day before. I'm not exactly cut out for (relatively) high speeds.

And then yesterday my back twinged in a really weird way when I reached for something at my desk. It still hurts occasionally.

It's not like me to say this, but I might be overdoing it. But fuck that, I'm gonna get healthy if it kills me.

by **EndgamerAzari** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 3:17 pm #82187

I don't do a lot of actual lifting, so by the strict Urban Dictionary definition I ain't gonna. I'm just so miserable and tired and I wish I could just go home one evening after work and just enjoy the nice weather instead of heading straight to the gym. But I've got nothing else going for me right now so I just have to keep doing it.

by **DemonFiren** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 3:38 pm #82190

I wonder how well a joint works for aching joints.

Considering that West Virginia has a massive hate-on for weed, I'll never find out. Plus smoking shit really irritates my throat. Got shitty lungs and stuff.

Robust dudes vaporise their weed, i have never gone back. Although the initial investment is a little pricey. Here in Canada it might as well be legal

by **EndgamerAzari** » Tue Apr 14, 2015 4:30 pm #82199

Pretty much anything inhaled will fuck up my mucous membranes after a few puffs. Besides, I think the stress of getting the stuff and worrying about getting caught/burning down my apartment building would probably more than negate the benefits.

Ohio's got a ballot measure coming down the pipe to legalize it, but I reeeealllly doubt that's gonna happen.

That made me feel stupid and angry.

So basically that made me feel like I always feel.

Are you warming up and down before your exercise? it doesn't sound like it, use something like cycling or a rowing machine as they'll support most of your body weight and let you focus on the warmup/warmdown stretching

by **EndgamerAzari** » Thu Apr 16, 2015 3:12 pm #82498

On solo days I do a couple minutes of stretches with a resistance band to begin with, and then run for ten minutes afterwards (though that probably doesn't count as a cooldown, as I'm gradually increasing my speed. Up to 7 mph now). We warm up a little more for group classes and use foam rollers afterwards. They supposedly reduce muscle soreness, and they might work, but unfortunately it's not the muscles where I primarily hurt.

On a semi-related tangent, I'm getting sick of people telling me I have to have a cheat day in my diet or I'll "snap and binge". I've been doing this for almost 50 days and haven't gone over my calorie limit once. So apparently 1) I don't need to, and 2) they can go fuck themselves for suggesting that I'm weak-willed.

Normal muscle soreness I can stand; it's when it feels like tendons in my knees are about to snap that I get nervous.

Could deal with my old injury pains. An ankle that swells up and grinds. It's too long to get into, but hey, I got used to it.

They're about the only things that can actually get me to cry anymore.
I'm numb to everything else.

Met with a psychiatrist today. Nice guy. I'm stopping my current meds and going on Prozac, and starting therapy next month. Should be fun.

the barista at this coffee shop has a really scary looking face tat but i'm fine about it because she makes iced coffee with frozen coffee cubes instead of ice cubes and that's pretty dope

do people who work at non-starbucks coffee places tolerate being called baristas

by **DemonFiren** » Fri Apr 17, 2015 2:53 pm #82626

I don't know. I've never been to a coffee place.
Even at Starbucks I ordered hot chocolate.

I'd rather be a bit sluggish than have mini-panic attacks hourly. We'll see how it goes.

Niece decided to put a sweet under 1 of 5 cups without me looking.
We played it twice, I got the sweet first try both times.

Apparently when it comes to sweets, I'm Psychic.

I 3D modelled an Energy gun in blender today.
Still not finished though.

Spoiler:

We've only recently started 3D modelling (this is the "I'm new at this stuff, don't judge me" moment), so I've only done stuff like Wineglasses, cups, a teddy bear and some cloth.
Also MAAAAAAAAAC, I'm not a fan of macs.

Looks like something you would see in an Indie Unity engine game. Good work.

Did some more work on the model today, Nowhere near as much progress as yesterday, spent a lot of it doing an effect I need to finish the scene off (Not pictured yet)

Side View (Only difference between this one and the final one used in my scene is that the final one has the far left ammo indicator lit up, and I tweaked the solidify modifier to be thicker.)

Spoiler:

Little behind the scenes (Emissive plane, etc.)

Spoiler:

None of these (including the last post) are renders, just in engine previews, I'll render the scene out at 1000 samples when I'm done and post if I remember.

So progress today:
* Tileable SS13 floor texture complete and tiling in blender
* An Emissive plane for light (lol not really progress, it's just a plane with a material)
* Grill/metal thingies on the gun "underbarrel"
* Emissive material for the ammo indicator
* Messed around with fluids (Now what would I need that for?

)

Also, Windows today! Yay, I miss Windows when I work on the Macs.

by **EndgamerAzari** » Tue Apr 21, 2015 4:46 pm #83128

I wanna learn how to do that shit. I heard that if you work at one school where I've applied for a job you can take classes for free, and game/visual design is one of the programs. That'd be cool.

Moooooore Blender~

Spoiler:

Silly guy got Toolbox'd, His fault too, he was in stun mode, unrobust scrub :3

This is the sort of "final" scene (might do some more touching up), Only rendered at 50 Samples though because I had literally 0 time today (But looking at it, quality isn't going to get much higher since it's simplistic in design, maybe 200 max.)

Also man fluids in blender are weird and I just couldn't achieve the effect I wanted, so I ended up just making a mix shader between Glossy-FF0000 and Transparent-FF0101 and it worked out Ok.
