Well, its that time of year again, time for a few words on the blog, my status, and how Chrimbo will affect output.
In the grand scheme of things, I am level and self-managing, but somewhat flat and directionless. I’ve been trying to address the whole career/life/social issue, to very limited success. Despite trying Meetup, Facebook, and assorted gaming venues, I’ve yet to find a regular in-person social group. My usual 40K sparring partner has moved onto other things, so I made the point of trying new stuff, and nothing has stuck. My Autism is continually on my mind with respects to this, but also a desire not to punish myself for not connecting with people. I try, and I keep trying, but it remains difficult and imposing. Workwise, I’ve decided to completely rework my approach, and try to find something specific to aim for, rather than merely trawling job listings for ideas. I’ve been seeking advice, and done a personality quiz for neurodivergent people, but this continues to be a problem. And by no means a new one. But maybe I have an idea now, and maybe I can accept it if I don’t. On the plus side, as I have felt better about things, and know myself better, I’ve got more energy to at least address the problem. Also, what social avenues I do have seem to be holding. My RPG group is great, TFN is a plus, I see my niece on occasion, and I’m supposed to be Gamesmastering again soon.
Creatively, this year has seen a return to Orks, which had all but vanished with my Guard fixation. Playing games with the greenies was a shot in the arm, giving motivation to modernise and finish my ancient horde. That way I can play in a GW store. Its relatively cheap to do so too, and while I haven’t lost interest in Guard, I think I’ve taken them as far as I can for now. My interest in Transformers, Gunpla and such remains, but I need to have a clear-out. Also, if I am running an online RPG, I probably need to think about that. With respects to blog posts, these trends and those in the paragraph above lead to me having blog ideas, but less of a buffer than I would usually have. The blog will continue, at least for now, but some change in either content or regularity seems possible.
So, after all that waffle nobody is likely to read, what is the Chrimbo update schedule?
Regular updates will cease on December 14th.
An Astra Militarum themed special will go up on New Years Day.
Regular posting will resume on January 11th.
Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas!
