Building things in the woodshop, a thing I haven’t done in months, and building things on the computer, a thing I do every waking moment of my life, apparently, are different. I’m inclined to say I prefer spending time in the woodshop, but I don’t actually think that’s true. I think if it were, I’d prioritize it more than I do. 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to the warmer days that make that sort of work easier, and I’m looking forward to getting the floor of the barn sorted, but I’m also having a decent time working on my portfolio website; a thing that will live behind a password so plebians can’t see it, mainly because some of the stuff on there is private comps.

It’s possible that I’m feeling more positive about my time on the computer because I feel like my time on the computer itself is more positive and productive.

I think my MOO days are behind me. I had already functionally quit my old favorite for a lack of time and due to the increasing toxicity of the community. But I had been holding out hope for Song of Avaria, a new MOO that promised to be everything Sindome was not. 

I do think it is much better, and the community seems great but I’m just...not the same as I was when I was playing more often. I don’t have the time I once did, and my passions are vastly different. Mostly I care about Roby.

It’s not as though I’m making worshipful artwork about Roby on my computer all night, but I am working on things that might, hopefully, eventually, make me more money, and in some way that is a worshipful ode to the munchkin. 

Who knows, maybe I’ll start playing again, but I doubt it. 
Just doesn’t seem like the fatherly sorta thing to do.
