Longing's Cry - Poem

 

"Where are you? Where are you?" my heart cries out,
seeking after the woman who'll be my wife.

"Where is she? Where is she?" I cry to God,
both my Father and hers.

"What do I do? What do I do?" I long to know,
that my desire may be fulfilled.

"Wait on Me. Wait on Me." comes the reply,
sure and familiar from my God.

"Waiting sucks! Waiting sucks!" I cry out
in longsuffering grief.

"Waiting does suck, but sometimes it's necessary."
Loving empathy from the Ancient of Days.

For now, my heart's pain has been soothed.
But waiting does suck.
And until its end comes,
The pain it causes
Will flare
Once again.

Tutorial: Making an RPG Maker MV Plugin

Image
So there I was, thinking about things that I wish were a bit different in RPG Maker MV, when I started thinking about the drop table system. You know, the thing that looks like this: I personally find this to be entirely insufficient for three reasons. One, I can only have three items in the list; two, I can only have an item quantity of one drop per thing; and three, the drop probabilities are in the form 1/N (where N is a whole number). This last one is notably annoying because it means I can't have drop chances between 100% and 50%. So, like I said, I got to thinking about this, and that's when it hit me: I could easily write a plugin to solve these problems! Well, to easily solve two of these problems, anyway...changing the number of entries in the list is not so easy. So I'll do just that: write a plugin to change how drop chances work and to enable drop quantities of more than one. I decided I wanted to share this process, primarily my methodology and how I approach f...

Some Observations About OnlyFans

Image
I first began poking around OnlyFans (and can't claim to have done much more than that) because I thought it would be a good way to get to know sex workers and nude models. These are two kinds of people that I want to know, but doing so in person has seemed improbable to me. OnlyFans therefore looked like it might be a good way to connect, a thought which makes superficial sense if you understand how the website is structured. OnlyFans (OF for short) is set up a lot like a social media website with solid monetization options. This contrasts with something like an impersonal video site or store front. Like other forms of social media, OF provides you a feed of creators you've subscribed to and a messaging system. Creators can set their subscription fee to zero to create a free account, or they can set a monthly fee for access, much like any subscription service. In many ways, its feature set is similar to Patreon, a website I'm already quite familiar with. This social-media...

Looking Back On 2023, Looking Ahead To 2024

Image
The changing of the year is both a time of looking back on the year that was and a time of looking forward to the year that lies before us. I think both practices are valuable, and I'm finding myself wanting to reflect on the major events of 2023, while also looking ahead to how I want to focus myself in 2024, with a particular intention towards building on and continuing the places of growth I experienced last year. Let's begin in the past, then look ahead to the future! Looking Back On 2023 As some of you may know, I have a Patreon , and for that Patreon, I write a daily diary entry I call Dear Patrons...  wherein I share events of the day and things I'm thinking about. I first write these up as a text document that I carefully name to give me a summary of something about that day that was important to me. This served as an excellent resource for reviewing this past year, and it meant I didn't have to try to rely on my memory. Indeed, there were many things I'd do...
