only so much steam
Not an awful lot to say this week, unfortunately; between work, my failing GPU, and the Battlefield 6 open beta, I haven't been able to get much done.

Last week was a terribly busy week at work, which left me without a lot of energy to work on my own projects. Things should calm down after this, but nevertheless, I am left without much to show for this week.
Between work and social engagements, I had limited time to work on my own personal projects this week.
My pet project for the last week and a half has been to stay logged out of Discord, my primary social platform, through which I stay in touch with my friends, group chats, and niche news. The goal behind this was simple: I spend a lot of time talking to people on Discord, especially when I'm waiting on things to complete (long-running processes, AI agents, etc) or as junk-food-stimulation for when my brain simply refuses to shift out of neutral. Taking a break should, theoretically, force me to spend more time actually doing the things that I am supposed to be doing.
As is usually the case, I find myself in a state of paralysis with regards to writing blog posts: whatever I write needs to be worthy of taking a prominent spot on my front page, which has prevented me from documenting the day-to-day out of a fear of banality. To counteract that, I have brought this section into existence for off-the-cuff updates that don't have to be held to the same standard.
Unfortunately, the work for this was complete over a month ago, and I've been holding off on merging it because I hadn't actually written an update: no amount of website tech can help you if the problem resides between the keyboard and the chair. To force myself to get a move on, here are some relatively succinct summaries of the plates I'm spinning at this moment.as I get further into this post, I realise succinctness is hard and this is very much a lie
