She wanted to play tag with a skunk. I think she lost. She's sad but she'll be okay. Working from home tomorrow to keep an eye on her.
yikes
I was sick for a little so I cut out caffeine to help recover. Had my first coffee beverage in a while today. For a good 20 minutes afterwards, the world definitely slowed down around me.
Went to a concert for the first time in ages. Jimmy Eat World and The Offspring. Did it right as an old person and got front row of the stadium seating. Goddamn, they both sounded phenomenal and put on a great show!
woah now. let's not get crazy. i wouldn't take it that far!
I am no one, so this makes sense
I'm always entertained by articles that just say "[x game studio] is working on their next game!". No one is sitting around between games twiddling their collective thumbs. We're always up to no good - or good - or somewhere in the middle - but there's always something.
Just finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I'm emotionally not okay after that journey π What a phenomenal story π

My heart goes out to everyone impacted. Some truly great people lost their jobs.
Unfortunately, we have very limited openings at SMS, but if there's anything I can do to help out, my DMs are open. sms.playstation.com/careers
No tooth damage bc it was soft from sitting in vinegar/garlic/chilies for half a year. Just a very surprised sharp and lingering flavor when taking what looked like a harmless bite.
Accidently dropping a single whole peppercorn into stir-fry when trying to get Thai chilis & vinegar out of a jar that is almost empty.
Immediate reaction: "Eh. i should be okay. I'll find it later."
Finding it later: π¬
There's something very special about seeing a character's heads twist as if they are an owl during development of a game. Head tracking at its finest.

Friendly reminder to take care of your health.
Latest round of physical therapy: ~40 sessions over ~4 months. Started in January and just had my last session today. This is actually better than last time I was in PT, which was closer to 6 months.
Do we allow the planets to orbit the sun or is that just their nature. Bear will Bear. There's no stopping him.
Bear will do what Bear will do π₯
When it arrives! I just won last night.
Definitely not nerding out that I won an item from an online auction being held for the 45th anniversary of the @planetarysociety.bsky.social. π€
I feel better now. Lets see how long it lasts.
Took 30 minutes today for slack hygiene. Started feeling overwhelmed by the tons of channels/groupchats that I'm in for various reasons.
A combination of cleaning up starred, moving channels into proper sections, allowing some sections to show unread only, and just flat out minimizing some sections.

It's perfect π
I will not be at GDC this year. Entirely too busy. For those there: have fun, learn lots, meet new people, and, most of all, be safe.
After 15-ish years of abuse, it is time to lay my wired xbox360 controller to rest. You were a good PC controller, but stick drift has finally won. π«
Fun times to be had soon!
