=== Thoughts ===
My partner asked me a question that really got my mind turning the other night: If you could create a unique monster for the Monster Hunter games, what would it look like and what would its gimmick be?
Fanfiction was where I cut my teeth as a writer in the early days, and I still work on fanfiction projects for fun now, so this kind of creation exercise is a shortcut to get the creative juices flowing. I'm still thinking about it now (maybe I'll follow up with the design here, later).
In any event, happy weekend! This has been a good habit to keep so far, so here's hoping I can continue it - and restart it when I inevitably fall off the wagon. A habit you can restart is much more powerful than a habit you punish yourself for dropping.
=== Project Progress ===
- February Commission #1: 100% complete (27% today)
- Indulgences: 4,884 words
- D&D Project: 64% complete
=== Stuff I Found ===
- Security Starter Pack from the EFF. Securing yourself against surveillance has been a topic of a lot of my conversations recently, especially given the recent news around Discord. This is a good place to start if you want to learn about how you can secure yourself (and what that even means).
- Colour Memory Game, dialed.gg. I'm colour-blind, and so this little game has been a good laugh amongst my friends and I. I still manage to score consistently above 40, though. Try this one if you want to see how you match against me!
