If I May So Cynically Observe...
Been a while since I wrote something here, hasn't it? This sort of journaling, putting my thoughts up online where multiple people at a time can see and respond to them, is something that does not come naturally. If I'm really depressed and feeling like shit, I usually don't have the energy to put my mood into words. On the other hand, if I am in fact feeling an all-too-brief moment of happiness, then I see no point in writing about it here. I don't feel the need to let you dears know if I come across an experience that doesn't make me feel downtrodden, or useless, or inadequate. Why would I want to burden you with the pyschological pressure of my excessive joys? Heh. Might make your day seem less blissful by comparison.
Our fledgling game studio is just now starting to break out of its egg. There's a bit of a stall, but hopefully we'll be able to start fully developing our first 'game', which is to say, our first major project that, once it's reached version 1.0, we can present to people and say "hey, here's a game, play it!" Other than that, the next major thing on my list concerning the studio is to get off my ass and actually design and subsequently implement my own personal section of the website. Unfortunately, I've never developed graphical art skills, and I'd like to include some sort of art for my webpages, so...yeah. Kind of stuck there right now. I'm just not one of those people who can spend hours fiddling with an image in Photoshop and feel like I've accomplished something meaningful. Not to say that those types of people aren't doing anything meaningful, but I have ridiculous standards of what I should be able to accomplish in such a setting.
And on a completely unrelated note, I'm starting to understand why people put such faith into online matchmaking sites and the like. Because I'll be damned if the statistically abysmal chance of me meeting someone with which there'd be a mutual attraction doesn't depress the hell out of me sometimes. I don't know. Maybe I'm being too cynical about the likelihood of that possibility. Eh.
End thought stream now.
