It’s Saturday… I’m Crashin’

I was feeling like a bit of platforming tonight, and decided to tackle the Dark Souls of platformers as some of my co-workers call it. I never played the original PS1 release of the first Crash (my first Crash game was the second), and while I’ve died a metric shit ton of times I can at least say I made it further than one of my co-workers (he couldn’t get past level 1). The first Crash Bandicoot game is basically an elaborate version of Simon Says that becomes more and more sadistic as you progress. It’s definitely a game that I have to take breaks from, just so I can have the patience to move forward a few levels.

Executive Decisions, Decisions

I had to revise the script on the project. There was a particular model that I wanted to use, and I didn’t know that it didn’t have any form of rigging. Since the scene involved a model with moving limbs, and these weren’t present I’ve had to move to Plan B. This might set back a few weeks, but whatever. I’ve put enough time into it for the week though. Tomorrow night I plan to pick a game from yonder collection.. nothing involving pigs.

Self Care: Floor Pillow Edition

One of the items from my weekend shopping spree arrived yesterday. I bought a zafu, or a meditation cushion for sitting on the floor. Meditation isn’t something I practice (unless it’s sideways), but I do sit on the floor sometimes, and my back has been complaining whenever I sit on the ground for too long. It also does a good job adding to the room as a decorative floor pillow.

I’m not sure if I have the patience to meditate in a serious manner. I just know the moment that I close my eyes my mind will wander to the dark unknown… kinda like the weird part of YouTube.

Welcome To My Nightmare

I invited a couple of real life friends into my imagination today, and so far they seemed to survive it ok. I figured if I’m helping beta test a book that I could get some feedback on my nightmare fuel, and it earned a few laughs! I should be wrapping up the 2nd video in a week or so, then I can begin on the 3rd and final installment (at least until I pick up playing it again in the future, that’ll require a barrel of guinness and a gallon drum of hash oil, fo-sho).

There Was Much Shopping

Went on a digital shopping spree today! I have a new chair coming in the mail, among plenty of other purchases that it will feel like Christmas for days. While I’m waiting for the chair I did get my chair pad in the mail the other day. So far that seems to help alleviate pressure in my tailbone. I’m still making sure to get up and stretch though, if anything this whole thing has taught me the wonders of stretching.

Another item I’ve been enjoying is an articulating arm for my Linux Surface Pro. I liked it so much that I decided to buy another one for the bed for easy reading at night. I’d say all in all it has been a productive weekend; a complete 180 from last weekend… and may I have many more. 🙂

Light At The End Of The Sanctuary

I made up for last weekend in spades. I had a small breakfast sandwich, cleaned up my digs a bit, patched up a shirt, and last but not least I put some scented fucking candles on and played a bit of AER: Memories Of Old. It took me awhile to remember what I was doing, but I did eventually find Eventide Sanctuary — and even got an achievement! There really isn’t very much to this game, but at the same time it has a lot going on. Lots of land to traverse on foot and as the crow flies, and there’s quite a bit of story to read and piece together throughout your travels. This will most likely get a recommendation from me once I finish the game, when I’m able to pick it up again. 😛

Compared to last week this was the perfect day.

I Can Game Again Yaaaaaaaaay

Just Another Day At Work…

Took some of my aggression out in DOOM Eternal tonight. It seemed like a good way to enjoy myself, even if I was getting my ass handed to me about every five minutes. I’m playing on Hurt Me Plenty mode, and it’s actually hard compared to DOOM 2016. But I am making it through different sections, slowly but surely. The last time I played Eternal it was back in November; I wonder how long before I play it again? 😛 It’s time to move onto a different game. I’m not sure which one yet, but I have a few ideas. That’s the nice thing about having a big library, you’ll never go bored. 😛

Let The Weekend Cometh

I’m hoping this upcoming weekend will go better for me. There was so much I wanted to get done last weekend that I was in too much pain to do. I’m beta testing a friend’s novel, and I haven’t had time to get back to them on it. I still need to go through my closet to tidy, and clear some older stuff out, among all the other things to ensure that I’ll never be bored — picking the starting point is always the hardest.

Of course… it might also be a rainy pajama weekend too. After two weeks of hell work, plus a week of regular hell work, and my back being a living hell it is possible that I might not move very quickly once I finally settle down. I could probably make some withdrawals from the bank of sleep.

Aaaaaaannnnddd Done

I’m officially free from Jury Duty! I only had to go once, and it was for about an hour before we were all excused. Now I won’t have to worry about doing it again for who knows how long. 😛 I’ve been summoned and excused a few times before, but this was my first time serving. The funniest part was that it all didn’t happen because Karen couldn’t be bothered to fucking show up. The judge and attorneys for both sides were piiiiissssssseeeeeedddddd.

Oh well… at least I can say that I went to court stoned, and I wasn’t even the one on trial! 😛
