Well, one of the things I was waiting on didn't end up working out, and I won't be exhibiting at TGS. Honestly, though, I want to move on from Dreams and Deadlines, and have nothing else to show, so that's fine. I'm still probably going...

It's the fourth (but not last!) Friday Rambles of May. Hey. Soon it'll be June, and the halfway point of 2025. That's right, this is 2025, and it's middle aged. Feeling old yet?

I haven't done a lot of work on the Overtime Update. There's not much to do. Still waiting on External Factors lol. I have a lot to say about it but I'll keep it bottled up, unhealthily. Rest assured, I'm trying to resolve it.
