So I started this new job a month ago and I have been working 48+ hours a week, fortunately and unfortunately. I am making lots of money towards the purchase of a new car because my other one broke and I had to sell it for scrap. The downside to this is I have no time for my hobbies that I enjoy. I do manual labor and each night I get home I am tired and sore so I just eat and go to bed and wake up doing the same routine. It really sucks but I gotta do what I gotta do right now.

This is my first video blog and I wanted to talk a bit about Forge and get comfortable in front of the camera because I will be making more of these soon.

The video is quite boring, so bare with me lol! Full screen that shiz.

I was going to wait to blog again, but oh well. I have been having this random crash happen when I am holding an object in Forge when it respawns. The object is destroyed and recreated while I am still trying to modify the invalid data. Even though I have null pointer checks properly in place, my code is not syncing up to the engine to where my code knows exactly when this respawn happens. So, I messaged Kornman and had a very brief conversation before he logged offline. I asked him about the object
