* The cold front is going to stay longer than expected, which means that we might not have clear sidewalks until Wednesday. Not only is there the current ice, but we are expected to get more ice. Yay

* So, Audible does not warn you if you re-purchase something you previously bought and got refunded. WTF, Audible? I will give it another try because I feel dumb for refunding the same thing twice.

* Netflix is giving me pop ups to let me know I could pay less if I do the ad-supported tier. We get it, ad agencies are very sad that so many people wall themselves off from ads if they can. That's not my problem. Also, the no-ads tier of Hulu... has ads? I was considering getting it for a month but... the no-ads tier has ads? I will watch The Bear someday, but apparently not today.

* I still have power so I am not going to complain. Some areas are going on 24 hours no power during a severe cold snap and yeah, just brutal out there.

* As much as I love fictional paranormal investigations, the only actual investigations I watch are Detune's Paranormal Detours. So, I am vaguely aware that there is drama in the paranormal investigations community over the Conjuring House (it was bought by a company to monetize it, and I know some of the employees are probably scammers) but there is more going on I just don't know about. Also, Detune's said that when he calls locations and they have a long rules list he's like 'Zack Bagins was there, am I right?' IDK who he even is, but apparently he is the cause of a whole bunch of places having new rules.

So I keep seeing references to paranormal investigator drama and I am so curious, but I probably have better things to do than track it all down.

* Lethal Company is one of the top selling and grossing games of 2023 on Steam despite it only coming out in October (after a lot of content makers had finalized their 2023 year in review stuff) and being by a solo, indie dev. Again, not my jam but very interesting.

Current isometric project

I am still working on the Sentinel Loft, but that is going to be a long, fiddly project. My current is under the cut, it's still very rough and early...
