Instigator, agent of chaos, friend.

My opinions are my own, you can't have them!

Do you know a Classy Barbarian who actually sets his drink down before he starts a bar room brawl? Just added the Classy Barbarian Dice Tower and Drink Cozy to the store.

New project this week, the Classy Barbarian Dice Tower / Drink Cozy. The dice go in the handle and come out below. Your favorite 12 oz beverage goes in the other part. Should be available later this week.

I'm working on organizing myself so I can create an actual process for putting new products on my Etsy store. I've boiled it down to the 3 P's.

This would be a great week to release a breach notification.

I love the new Mimic Dice Boxes I just posted to my Etsy store. https://t.co/g9GmRrEnPZ

I keep thinking, "When did I fall into this alternate reality and how can I make it back to the real world?"

Went for early voting with Wife0 Friday morning. The poll worker told me this is the biggest turnout for early voting she's ever seen.

I'd probably feel better about that if I didn't live in Florida, but I do still feel it's a positive sign.

How many of the things said over the last few months on the campaign trail should be investigated as hate crimes?

A lot of them.

@MalwareJake @defcon My CCNA is old enough to drink.

My therapist is encouraging me to do something productive that resonates with me, so I've opened an Etsy store to sell 3D printed DnD and DnD-adjacent products I print.

To kick off the store, here's a 15% off coupon good through November 2nd. https://t.co/HYVsF0x0ps

@dimitrimckay Had that happen 'recently'. Broke a wire trying to clean it up, ordered a new part, broke a different wire trying to install it, waiting on a new extruder unit now.

My point being, order a new extruder unit, not just the hot end. It's only $12 more.

@jaysonstreet I feel for you. Won't pretend I 'understand', but can definitely sympathize.

[Martin McKeay @mckeay]

You know I feel strongly about something when I overcome my revulsion for the Muskrat to post something on Twitter.

[Martin McKeay @mckeay]

This is my own experience speaking, so your mileage may vary. But it's better to have a stranger tell you you're fine or not, rather than try to continue without help. I haven't always taken my own advice. Don't be me. (3 of 3)

Please seek a psychologist or other professional to help you at least identify the source of your stress, don't just try to power your way through it. 'Dealing with it on your own' is generally code for 'burying those thoughts as deeply as possible'. (2 of 3)

[Martin McKeay @mckeay]

If you've ever felt burnt out or depressed for any length of time, please seek counseling.

You might be able to mask the symptoms or tell yourself you've gotten better on you own, but you're really only making matters worse down the line. (1 of 3)

@rik_ferguson Don't cheat. Post your last selfie.

[Martin McKeay @mckeay]

@csoandy I'm definitely the wrong person to ask.

[Martin McKeay @mckeay]

My standup desk is an Ikea bar-height table in their signature brown-black. Occasionally I put my work phone face down in one of the shadows and it takes me ten minutes to find it.

@mubix Three and be prepared to abandon them all when the players get involved.

I try to plan events that happen to and around the players and create the connective tissue on the fly.
