howdy all! it feels like it's been ages since i wrote a blog post, but apparently it's only been a little over a week. well, here i am now!
lynx was playing in stars and time for me and tiny, and we finished that playthrough yesterday afternoon. oh boy, what a blast! this game is giving me brainworms so bad. i started playing the prologue game today and i intend to finish it later, but i needed a break because it is repetitive, by nature of being a timeloop game. i enjoy the story and there's actually plenty of story-gameplay integration (siffrin starts to get just as frustrated as you do by the repetition!) but i can still only do so much at a time. plus i've gotten pretty awful at playing games for extended periods of time, anyway. i need to fix that.
speaking of games, there are soooo many i need to play. i bought you and me and her when i bought start again, ash really wants me to play scarlet hollow, i have a couple of those persona 5 spinoffs... and that's just the tip of the iceberg! my backlog is really bad. i'm honestly better at buying games than i am playing them, haha. i find it hard to set aside time for gaming when i wanna be ready to socialize at a moment's notice. i'm working on it, though.
i only have a few weeks left of this school quarter and it's going pretty well! two of my classes will be finished by the end of next week, while the other should be finished the week after. as i recall, i only really have one final exam, and i think it'll be pretty easy. it is in the class that's hardest for me though, so fingers crossed. i really am not that great with databases, though at least this class is focusing more on the coding side of it than the design side.
i've determined i really want to get a bachelor's degree, too. it may mean four more years of schooling when i was excited to finally be done with that this fall, but i'm really excited about the school! and, hey, maybe i can do some work on the side. i know it's not exactly a lucrative field, but i do really dream of being a game developer. my goal this year is to make my first complete project, and i still intend to do that! i just need to get over The Fear, i think. i'll get there!
my art stuff has slowed down signficiantly, unfortunately. i do have commissions to complete luckily, but other than that i haven't really been doing much. i'm back at the "scared to start" part of my crocheting career. just gotta push through! you can do it abel!!! it sucks, because i was so excited about my progress before. i guess progress truly isn't linear, though.
as far as the website goes, i found out about zonelots, which is based off of zonelets, and i've been thinking about transferring my blog to that. the thought of reformatting all my blog posts to fit it is a little daunting, though, so i may just archive this one and start a new one. we'll see! (have i said this in a blog post before? i can't remember)
that's about all i got this time! i'll see y'all later.
