I have a bunch of things I have cooking, kinda on and off.

  • Working with @Burger@burggit.moe on Burggit, obviously.

  • Have a minecraft modding project I work on occasionally. Not something I think I’ll ever share publicly (might share some screenshots at some point though.).

  • There’s a super secret super cool project I’ve been working on for Shota Services, which I hope people will enjoy when it comes out.

  • As well as a bunch of smaller things like tweaking various sites and some other things which are too early for me to reveal.

What have you been doing to express your creativity recently?

    I’ve been swapping between a couple different things, but not all of them are necessarily what I would consider “creative”.

    • I’ve been trying to learn how to draw, using the book Figure It Out! Human Proportions: Draw the Head and Figure Right Every Time as my teacher, you could say. It’s slow going, and I’m still fairly early in my studies, but I’ve already noticed a little improvement! Every once in a while, if I can stomach the monotony, I try and do Draw a box, too.

    • Some fanfiction projects. In true stereotypical cringelord fashion, right now I’ve been writing… Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction. Incredible. I don’t know if that’s better or worse than my stint writing Hollow Knight porn.

    • It isn’t really creative, but I’ve been trying to get better about taking notes as I read. I use an app called OpenReads I grabbed off F-Droid to write down my thoughts, feelings, and even passages I really like from the books I’ve been reading. I’m the sort of person who will just mindlessly consume and forget everything about something if I don’t force myself to stop and really engage with a work.

      Check out Obsidian. Works on all platforms, and with sync (drive, github) you can sync them all together so u can work on phone, continue on PC, or vice versa.

      Checking OpenReads I realize it is less of a note taking app but a more of a book reader tracker. Pretty damn awesome. I highly recommend MediaTracker.

        I’m really not a fan of tracking my shows and stuff on things that need accounts like MAL and letterboxd, so MediaTracker looks really cool!!

        I’m not all that technically savvy, so it might be a bit above my skill level, but I’ll try and give it a go when my computer is fixed.

          You can choose to install on your main PC via docker. It just means the services are only usable when you are on your main PC (when main PC is on).

          I highly recommend you to look into selfhosting and the whole idea of privacy and you owning 100% of your digital data etc.

            Oh, hahaha, believe me, Disa’s certainly here to help - he’s my husband. He said he’d set this up for me, but I think I’ll still try and figure it out a little on my own too.

        MediaTracker

        Oh shit, I recently wondered if something like this existed, but I wasn’t able to check at the time. Thanks for the info and the reminder!
