I've been doing quite a few things.

Playing RuneScape, Minecraft, Unreal Tournament and The Sims 3 on my pc
Playing a few games on my phone
Making Minecraft pixel art with Paint.net
Practicing my Makaton signs while listening and singing to songs on my Echo Dot
I also practice Makaton while watching YouTube videos of someone else doing it

I can't wait to get back to my art group again so I can practice my Makaton with my friend

What is Makaton? Is it a new type of artstyle?

Makaton is a sign language. I use it to communicate with a friend as she is deaf.

I learn from watching videos like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDCXNIwFjdc&t).

I've actually started relying on her a lot less than I used to. I try to do the different signs purely from memory and use them with songs that she hasn't done yet.

I see. Interesting and impressive, I must say. How did you learn it?

Just by watching and copying. The hardest part is remembering which sign goes with which word, as you have to talk as normal when you sign.

I probably know around 50-60 signs.

Mainly clearing my videogame and anime backlog. I'm trying to get to a point where I only play new games coming out and watch new anime series airing. The game backlog is going pretty well and there's less than 15 but the anime one is going to take some work, I've got hundreds and hundreds of series on that - many of which were added in 2008-2010.

Once I've done all that I can focus a lot of my time doing other things I've got lined up. As long as I get through stuff faster than I add it I should be able to gain on it.

 It just feels like I've done a stupid amount of painting. Mostly Warhammer Underworlds but I've painted up some Reaper Minis. Played a lot of Resident Evil too. Mostly Revelations 1 & 2 and then the remake of Resident Evil 2.

 I really enjoyed the Revelations games, they feel nice and creepy. There was something off about the second one though. It might be the enemies? They were more The Evil Within than Resident Evil.

I was on ESPN and Eurosport in an eSports contest. I beat a bunch of professional racing drivers in a sim racing contest and was the only Youtube personality to win a race.
