Positive News!

I've lost 60 pounds now. Which makes me happy but at a loss because my Peacemaker Halloween costume no longer fits.

Good news I had an excuse to buy a used sewing machine. I'm still learning to use it. It's a Brother X-950. Found a manual online. I could barely thread the bobbin without watching a video at least three times. I gotta see things move in real life to get things down. 2D images don't work that well for me.

I'm really tempted to sew a cosplay for a TF2 character cause I'm on a phase with them. So I've been inspired to write. It's an older fandom so I think they're more mature to "get" my ideas and plot.

TF2 update!!! Will be playing it. Not on my linux laptop tho. Have to wait for my kid to fall asleep because he will just go nuts on the keyboard of the desktop computer. I finally figured out that I have to put on vsync to prevent screen tearing. Everything runs better. I never knew what vsync was for. Affects performance supposedly but eh it's totally worth it. Would drive me insane if I didn't have it on. Now I need to check Dying Light cause it was tearing too but I didn't know how to describe it until I watched frame raters videos where he mentions it and it came to me that it wasn't just pixel games that affects. I thought maybe just barely meeting the requirements was what caused it hmmmm.
