Back on dry land...
Sep. 19th, 2011 12:32 amFat dragon is fat. Five course meals daily; 'forgetting' to exercise, and playing for my food (turned out to be three platefuls) at a BBQ today after a 10-day Alaskan Cruise with Da'al has made me pudgier than ever before (except when I was a recruiter - for that, add another 20lbs). Anywho, I have a few things on my list of stuff... and everything (college, job hunt, medical appts, etc) all hit at the same time; the moment I return to Portland.
Mortal: The Victiming is on hiatus, and sadly may remain so. I'm putting to paper for the first time the back-system for a game I've been working on for a couple of years... which might send some things back to square one. Blarg. Hopefully the changes aren't too drastic... otherwise I may be looking at potentially thousands of my dollars, wasted.
Given my perception of the Internet, I prefer to work on games that aren't as present there - ones that can be played in person. Too many folks who have never become social (in the physical sense) just don't know how to host, be friends, or to interact with other people at large, and I see this almost as a... symptom of far greater problems.
I look at my own separation from humanity, and I examine how people interacted with one another in both peace and war throughout history. As people treated one another more harshly in peacetime; the wars of those times became dirtier. The thought may go 'the less human I am, the more harm to humanity I am capable of', though I think rather that the latter portion would be 'the more apathetic I get'.
Anyway, it'll be another week before I'm back home. Temporary work, college, job hunt, brewing, music, game development and everything I keep in my closet will be waiting for me plus two house mates, seven cats, fifty fish and about 3,000 bees. Whee! At least the bees will not have missed me.
