Pour être le Marionette
Have you ever wondered...what if the bigger picture wasn't actually a picture? What if it was a full standing architechtural point and the things that you think are things you've created aren't even your thoughts but the tides of things outside your sway? What if something you create isn't even a meme (something you consiously copied) but an echo of something you've never consiously heard or felt and what feels like your will is actually a string unseen over your hand?
Have you ever felt helpless yet known you're the one that has the power to change something? Though even better known there's nothing you can do to the extent you need and want to do it at this point in time? Time really can be a bastard when it wants. I like knowing what's ahead, I like being able to see and plan things like that...why then does so much fog have to land on my streets? Well...at least I got a vauge look at the roadmap before I left.
In other news I have a nifty little contract with a Nursery for a couple days...which is honestly all I need since they're near painfully unaware of what I could do or what they want, but I bent it so the cover design for the brouchure (that they only wanted a photo of the front of the centre for...*twitch*) into a poster thing. Both of which I could do...fuck, tomorrow alone, which I'll have the time to do since I'll be on the home system where I have all my tools and preferences. My little beef-machine baby, lol. I really don't like being on computers that aren't maintained...at all now, I had to deal with a system that had more ram...likely more clock power, bigger (though admitedly crt, haha) monitor, and it was a fucking glorified word processor running on 800x600...an the screen wasn't even in sync with the actual crt screen edges...did I mention it probably wasn't even running on 60Hz? It was flickering horribly, that's the sort of crap that gives you migranes because the refresh rate is pathetic...damn that system was a lost cause, lol. I'm not even going to go into the software details...just no.
Still, it'll be good for my portfolio (...mostly, I swear I could do this leaflet in Microsoft Excel an they'd be happy >.<) and gets things ticking again, might...might leave my details with them for anyone they know that needs some small scale yet still for the love of god professional graphical design. This shall be away message of the day, lol.
Hm...was tempted to play some more "Stolen" which has to be the biggest learning curve bitch of a game I've ever had, but in a good way, once you get into it. Real thing about it is you can not kill anyone, you can't even permenantly incapapacitate them, which I kinda like in a way since other stealth games just become can I stay in this shadow long enough for him to turn around so I can give him a swift kick and carry on, this one you more often think about not touching them...AT ALL, observing their patrol paths and looking for the shadows inbetween or using some of your fancy tools like a sonic transmitter that gathers guards around it when you trigger this high pitched whine from whatever gets fired. Makes them look like complete idiots but the AI isn't actually that bad. You do anything to the environment at all and they'll react to it, radio for backup and then comb the area with flashlights...those are a bastard.
But nah, I'm going to get some decent sleep tonight since Naru got kicked off a while ago which seriously fucking sucked since I was looking forward to being to chat with her to all hours again for a change but nope...an I'd rather go to bed in lighter spirits so I won't starty ranting about how unfair her parents can be. Sadly though the time we did have wasn't as much fun as we could have had with it but ah, there were a few things to talk about and deal with.
Red fox...it was just a fictional character but now...I always thought it was the white rabbit you were supposed to follow. But then that was there and this is here...this is different.
