That's not a broken coffee/espresso machine! That's a new steam-engine boiler!  :birdy:

Selkit

Kerbal Space Program. It's the ultimate nerd game. Tweaking and playing with designs and trajectory calcs until you have a workable SSTO design = Yes! Interplanetary journey-depot here I come!

KSP is awesome, but sooo time consuming. I stopped playing regularly when I got Skyrim, now I forget how to build good rockets.

~1.5 TTW ratio on lower stages, ~3 on second stage and ~9 on upper stage tends to leave plenty of delta-V to do irresponsible things like Munar impactors... which is another thing to be happy about!

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.
Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr.

I never get tired of that poem :) 

Also, life is awesome, not having to stress about money is awesome, knowing I'll be moving back down to the coast will be AWESOME!!

Due to my strong perfectionist nature, I have a hard time doing anything relating to art.
(that's why I don't have all that much stuff up in my DA and FA art galleries)

I'm slowly, very slowly, relaxing and starting to understand that I can make mistakes, and learn from them.
That's not to say that I'll suddenly start posting more stuff (because what I've been doing is so far below that level), but I will be working a bit harder on it.
Though it's going to take a lot of effort to push past the disappointment of seeing just how bad my hand is just yet...

I'm not alone?! :'D This is exactly why I rarely ever draw (even though I want to). I just get so frustrated that what I have in my head that I want to draw never comes out on paper that way or looks nearly as good.

I love it when something turns out better than I thought it would, whether it be a story and/or a video.

Anybody know if there's art books for perfectionists?
Sounds like we could use a bunch of copies around here...

Ditto, I find sculpting way more gratifying. The image from my mind translates better into reality than it does in 2D. I'd recommend dropping the $20 on a pound of Super Sculpey and playing with it.(Make sure you look up how to make proper armatures, I suck at this part.) Or even just $5 on some regular clay and seeing what you can make. 
Though it is discouraging when it dries wrong and cracks up like my last one. Hence why I recommend Sculpey.
