I just decided to start asking this instead of ‘what do you do?’ when meeting people. Figured I’d try it out on you folks.
I had a shop that made flaming nipple tassels, though I just closed down until the future is more certain. I also create sideshow and fire performances. My most recent one involves a drill and my skull.
And finally, a lot of D&D content, such as an entire world setting inspired by the tarot deck

This just makes me so happy!
Resin dice, novels, 3D prints, paintings, video games, wooden furniture, RPG scenarios. I have way too many hobbies and maybe two hours per week to work on them, so in reality I create very little. But making something physical is incredibly helpful for keeping the worst of my depression at bay.
I have a podcast that I create with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object—such as a ceiling fan, or a paper clip, or a toilet brush—and we create a movie plot based on that object. The show is called Almost Plausible, and can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.
Small mutant corn plants in little containers.
As a welder, I create a ton of shit. Today, I created a new handle for a lathe, cut off the old one, and bolted on my part so the lathe functions (mostly).
Legos
programs, music and baby
I create web applications! 🎉 (AKA I’m a typical Lemmy user.)
Duct tape and cardboard solutions to questions like “How do I get these two pieces of photography equipment to work together?”
Philosophical ramblings to justify my existence, which according to capitalism has no value because I don’t have the ability to work.
Me: “If I make a new mascot platformer (gratis) with vertex colors, maybe someone would get me out of here? What are the chances and outcomes? Would I even have enough time to make something decent with current conditions?”
Blender, Godot 4, player controller in Nim-lang via gdext-nim, and on top of the 3 hats I need to learn I don’t have many viable ideas.
Also somewhat related to the social isolation thread in showerthoughts, I live on the edge of nowhere and don’t even want to drive.
Cortisol
Free RPG content, which I’d be happy to share with you:
maybe systems. my work tends to be getting one or more systems to do something a business wants.
Disappointment
I’m working on an audiobook of a novel I wrote. I have another recording session today with voice actors who play my characters!
Is this an already published book? Or are you releasing it concurrently with the audiobook?
I’m releasing it concurrently with the book. I’ve still got a lot to do before I can release anything however so I’m just doing the chapters that I know are 100% done
Oh, that must be exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time, seeing your characters come to life. How do you convey what you imagine the characters to sound and act like?
Oh yeah, its amazing to hear the voices for these people but, as you say, it’s scary. Since I’m the director and creator it all falls to me to decide everything. I mean EVERYTHING from inflictions in their voices, how a line is delivered, scheduling, payment etc. Of course, I give my actors freedom to interpret how they see the characters. You have to have a fine balance between making decisions but also letting them be creative with what they do during directing sessions.
