Soaking In Dreams and Imagination
I had one of the best, deepest sleeps last night. It gave me enough energy to finish writing that story, and allowed me to spend the rest of this cold cloudy day to mess around in Klonoa!
This game has boss fights that are as challenging as the characters are adorable, even most of the enemies. I lost numerous lives trying to defeat this fucking bastard, and I’ll have to go back again because I somehow missed a bitch. I’m thinking it’s time for a little break.
Friday Evening Open Thread
My bro and I joined forces and made dinner together tonight! I bought a ribeye and chopped it up. We mixed in some snowpeas, shrooms, and homegrown carrots with a soy miso sauce and soba noodles with just a dusting of green onion. Sadly I didn’t take a picture, but I can confirm that it hit the spot. We served it with some blueberry sencha green tea. It slapped.
I’m happy that tomorrow’s my Friday! It’s been a busy four day work week. I haven’t even been able to touch my Steam Deck, and I still have to finish up that script! I should be able to finish that up after work… then maybe goof off in some form of game universe! 😀
Perhaps one with a certain Bandicoot…
Imaginative Unrest
I finished up my cosmic melon! Unfortunately I’m not in a position to show it, but now I can move onto reading over the script I wrote during vacation. Now that I’ve made an imaginary flyer – I need to go over the script to see what my imagination says, before offloading it onto other imaginations for review. I plan to start animating it next week. There is no ETA for when it will be done, but I’m aiming for New Years.
Have a Cosmic Melon
There isn’t much to this piece. It’s part of a texture I’m working on for one of my upcoming winter project, not ready to say what it is yet… but it involves MELONS… kinda, sorta.
Probably.
The Beatings Will Begin Soon
It’s been fun having all the time in the world at my fingertips, but now I need to get back into the mindset of losing faith in humanity again. I’ve had plenty of rest, traveled out of town for the best burgers in the universe, played Borderlands 2 with one of the coolest people I know, got some writing and Krita work done, etc etc. Now everything is in place for tomorrow; I have my tea ready to go, clothes are picked, the Steam Deck is loaded with plenty to do, and my daily essentials are in an easy to grab place to make sure nothing is forgotten going out the door.
Of course… I got all of these in order yesterday thinking that I had to work today! Fortunately I checked my schedule last night and found out I wasn’t due back until tomorrow. Which is fine! I don’t mind the extra bonus day. 😛
The Handheld of my Dreams
Went on a bit of a road trip today with my Steam Deck! Playing the Yakuza games during a long car ride is like watching an in flight movie AND being able to participate! I also opted for some Klonoa innocence, just to end it on a sweet note. By the time we made it back home I was down to 39%, and that’s from at least two hours of gameplay. My experience with the battery has met my expectations, it’s as good as a gaming laptop if not better. Overall I’ve been pretty happy with it!
Saturday Late Night Open Thread
Sorry, all my energy for blogging went into something else I’m writing. I’ll be taking another blog night off.
Open Thread!
