Art Update, Personal Stuff
🕑 Added 2023-09-22 01:18:23 +0000 UTCHello, everyone.
Here are some more updates for the next suit iteration in Swarm of the Symbiotes. I anticipate it being about another week from now before we get more Artifact art while the artist takes some personal time.
It's been a stressful week for me. My best friend of 12 years, my dog Sammy, is not doing so well. We've been through so much and have grown together. His breed only lives about 12 years to begin with, and now he's been diagnosed with kidney disease. He's been lethargic for a few days, and his appetite has declined sharply. After multiple vet visits this week, he is looking physically worse, despite his blood work showing improvement. It's been a financial strain and an emotional roller coaster. He may pull through, but we're far from out of the dark and tonight I'm particularly distraught. The decline from a happy healthy pup happened so fast over just the past couple weeks and I'm not ready for him to go yet.
Suffice it to say that this has impacted bug testing on the latest Artifact update. Because it's been a minute since the last update, I will likely just disable certain under-tested content I've been working on in this build and release a smaller update for now, and just have more small updates coming over the following weeks.
I'm struggling to remain strong. Thank you, everyone, for being here.

I sincerely wish you guys all the best and hope you can pull through these trying times. I also hope that you will be blessed with more time with Sammy with as little pain as possible but if the inevitable does occur remind yourself of those 12 years you spent together and the good times you had. How lucky you were to have found good company in eachother that made it able to give Sammy such a long and fulfilling life.
