Then

I design video games for a living. Previously, I was...

Thinking about making beats for Novembeat with the Orba.
Enjoying the Inktober sitelen sitelen ritual.
Trying to resume my meditation practice, and failing. Again.
Learning more about myself and my inner workings. It's enlightening and terrifying.
Searching a quick and dirty workflow involving the Zynthian and the Orba.
Making little progress on my acid techno attempts but loving how it sounds.
Feeling tempted to invest in a hardware tracker like a Digitakt or an OP-Z.

Wondering what the hell I'm doing with life and going through an existential crisis.
Failing to prioritize my bazillion projects. As usual.
Starting to read David Graeber's Debt: The First 5000 Years. It's awfully interesting so far.
Working on various small improvements for Auspex.
Going further than I ever did in Pathfinder: Kingmaker, and enjoying it.
Having a blast with the Orba I kickstarted ages ago and finally received. So much fun!

Rediscovering the simple joy of drawing with a pen after a couple of decades.
Adding sitelen sitelen glyphs support to Pimeja.
Starting Inktober with sitelen sitelen and people seem to like what I posted.
Managing to fix my broken card deck system for Auspex, finally!
Relearning to type on my now legendless ortholinear keyboard. Easier than I thought.
Attempting one more time a Pathfinder: Kingmaker playthrough.

Reading Sum by David Eagleman. It's thought-provoking, but it lacks universality and feels incomplete.

Revelling in the silent solace brought by my new noise-cancelling headphones.
Wondering who I am and what defines me as a human being.

Testing ways of implementing a simple Toki Pona translation exercises system in a HTML file.
Thinking about writing a long form piece about conflict in video games and empathy systems.
Doing crazy good scores on old Melodics lessons I gave up silver-starring months ago.
Feeling generally tired and thinking I need some actual vacations.
Giving another try to meditation. It's quite helpful for letting off steam so far.
Starting to look into Taoism, since Toki Pona was inspired by it.
Still debugging and refactoring various parts of the Auspex combat code.

Implementing old and unofficial words in Pimeja, my Toki Pona dictionary.
Testing new array functions in RPG in a Box to add actual card-based mechanics to Auspex.
Still playing Littlewood. I really enjoy this game, its simplicity and laid-back mood make it special.
Starting debates on the supremacy of violence in video games and the lack of empathy-based systems.
Realizing Toki Pona may be a fantastic tool for exploring the universe of my Forlorn Tree game project.
