A #Blaugust Week-In Check-In

08 Aug 2025

How's it going after posting to my site for a week straight? Pretty good, I gotta' say!

I'm Kind Of Using This As A Cop Out For Today, Sorry

As of yesterday’s post I’ve doubled the number the posts slash updates I’ve made on this here personal site. That’s going from 7 posts in the 4 years I’ve had the site, to 14 total within a week. Big shout out to #blaugust for giving a jam-like community vibe to writing blog posts. It’s been a nice way to corral myself into sitting down and writing out a bunch of words.

I’ve already gotten to talk about two games I played, two creations of my own, and a couple of things about life. That’s a pretty good variety so far! Though, if this weren’t an every-day challenge for #Blaugust I’d be tempted to keep a three-a-week habit. Posting every day with no breaks is a test of either endurance, or amount you can backlog.

This leaves just over three weeks remaining, or 23 days. With the weekend coming up, I can write a few in reserve for the upcoming week and take a night to not worry about writing. It’s a lot like game jams, know your scope and how much you can accomplish in that time frame. None of my posts have been too long but I’ve tried to keep them pretty substantive.

What else is there to write about?

A bunch! Uh, I got a new bike recently that I’ve been riding around everywhere. I got back into sticker making and am considering some designs to sell! I’m also working on a set of RetroAchievements for the NES game Orb-3D, that’s been pretty fun. All those would be great topics, for another day. Not today, this is a blatant cop out.

I’ve also been playing a few games that’d be good to show off. I do have a few projects in Godot I’ve been toying with but they’re not near the “show-off” phase of development yet. Or maybe they are, fuck it, I don’t have to worry that much about it. That’s more stuff to write, add it to the list.

After this goes up I’m going to start on the next post for August 9th. I’m sorry again, for the cop out. You probably got a whole RSS feeder ping or saw the post on social media. I’m sorry.

I'm very sorry.

Sorry!
