Goodbye Further Confusion. Instead, Pajamacon!
10 years ago
General
Docs confirmed today. Nooooooooo Further Confusion for me next week. So close. "If only we had a couple more weeks." Yeah yeah... they say that every time. The good news is that my genetics data came back and some of it is pretty mucked up in pretty important ways. Sadly, no Xmen powers yet. It confirms all of my chronic pain, fatigue, illness and nutritional deficiency stuff, so now docs can't argue with me. "No one has that." "LOOK AT MY DATA HAHAHAHA... asshole." It also explains why no one has been able to figure out my mystery medical issue. I am running on Windows Vista. Nothing works the way you think it should. Here's hoping that I patch faster than Vista did.
The good news (well, other good news) is that I will be having Pajamacon! Where I stream for 8hrs Fri, Sat, Sun and take commissions and sell stuff like I would at Further Confusion. Traditional commissions. You pay shipping though. Cancelling FC sucks hard, but now people who couldn't attend can get stuff now. Like memo pads or a badge.
I need your help though!
I need to figure out the protocol and stuff by next Friday, things like:
- How and in what order to take commissions on Twitch, since traffic is a little different than a con. First come, first serve? Create a queue and randomize it? Maybe demand will be low and I won't have a problem getting to everyone.
- A good way to process merch orders (bookmarks, memo pads, etc). Yes yes I know, "just open a damn Etsy, Fable". Maybe after Pajamacon. Paypal will be the payment method. Do I just have people email me orders and invoice from there?
- Should I make my art show pieces available? Is there like, a short term auction thing somewhere on the internets?
I expect the first Pajamacon to be a bit glitchy, like my DNA, but I think we can smooth it out and make something awesome.
If you can think of anything else cool, let me know. Will post more deets later as things get hashed out. :D

Thanks! :D
I use google drive to keep track of commissions. Might have to find something automated for general merch orders though. And I guess I will wing it on commission orders. See what works and what doesn't haha. Thanks!
Furbuy is the auction site that Kacey uses. You should know that~! :P
Really awesome to hear they found something. I wish they'd 'find something' with my leg and wrist. The pains are getting exhausting so I can better imagine how emotionally detached from 'having fun in life' you are, if you know what I mean. I've already found myself caring much less about what I'm involved in for the sake of alleviating my pain. Might explain a few things in regards to art, too.
I'll tryyyy to make it, if you'd like. Otherwise I'll play SPMD, Bravely Default, and M&L: Paper Jam like 'normal'.
I don't want to use Furbuy though. My audience is broader than just furries on Twitch. There don't seem to be too many options for auctioning art online.
Boo... Yeah being too exhausted to have fun in life really sucks. I figure it's why so many old people start to give zero fucks when they get to that tired and painful point in life. I hope you don't have nerve damage. D:
It probably won't be your cup of tea, so no worries on making it if you don't feel like it. SPMD... pokemon mystery dungeon? I still need to beat Bravely Default. T-T
I think the Carspeckens have used eBay before for their art auctions. But I think Furbuy would still be better. The non-furries that actually care about owning it would more likely set up an account there than people would set up an account at eBay. I imagine eBay has far more gating in their registration than what Furbuy has, and a lot of people don't have either type of account.
They can't figure out what mine is, either. I've got several spots on my body that, when say, pressure is applied with an item like a large rubber ball, the pain is absolutely excruciating (in that way that they tell you is them trying to work out kinks?) and then I've got a few spots that don't line up with the above. But yes, your art has frequently felt these days like your motivation and creativity are severely stifled, and I can understand why. It just... sucks. You'll have to email me about the smaller details of what they're learning. I'm obviously interested as your friend.
Yup, that one. Odd little roguelike. Ah, Bravely Default, the game of grinding and guides. I've been working on that one recently as well. It's like, the only game in existence that can be played almost entirely with the left hand alone. Plus the occasional B button or touch screen input. I'm getting close to awakening the Earth Crystal.
I'll consider Furbuy. I try to keep all of my sites on a "would my mom be okay looking at this site" level. Furbuy isn't quite there. Might be the best option though.
Haha I love that. "THAT IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL." "Oh we're just working out the kinks." "I'M GOING TO KINK YOUR FACE." There is a different way of working out kinks called Visceral Manipulation. It gently coaxes your muscles, tendons, and connective thingies to go back where they need to be. Subtle but effective. Unfortunately, it is not widely known, so I'm not sure if you have a good practitioner down there. I like it better than regular PT and chiro for aligning things.
My art is actually in a super good place right now. Just haven't posted things. I even bought watercolors!: https://www.instagram.com/p/BAVeyaJ.....n-by=fablefire
I haven't played PMD but there's a frequent flyer in my twitch that really loves it. Any good?
I'd elaborate on what I'm talking about with art but that's best done in an email. :P
It's okay. I'm semi-cheating in it to make it progress faster. I've got 99 of all the items, but only those I've found before. I've boosted the power capabilities of some of my moves, but not all the way or all of them. I've used stat enhancing items, but only a little. I have infinite dungeon time and move PP, because I like being a completionist so I don't want to be limited in the ability to wander around in a single dungeon. Other than that, it's almost exactly like your average dungeon crawler from PS1 and earlier, except with Pokemonz. So many Pokemonzez.... (Though I'm really getting tired of Nintendo being all 'kids kids kids' with their games. I want more serious stories... :<)
