Habits and video games
Stuff has been going better, and apparently I'm doing a lot of 'hard work', according to people I've been talking to in the real-life world. But this week has been tough and I'm tired. Maybe it's that letdown period that happens after you start a new routine, and you're just getting into it, and some lizard part of your brain finally realizes this is not just a fun new activity, but a habit you're trying to build, and you're going to keep doing this. So it clings to the bad habits as hard as it can...or something. I don't know, I think I lost that analogy somewhere. I think I am also just actually really tired-tired. I haven't had very good sleep the past few nights. -_-
Regardless, in that arena of building new habits, I've been doing pretty good! I should put my little Habit RPG dude (he has a wolf and everything) up here:
I haven't been that happy with myself right now, because I haven't been writing too much (or at all) and I appear to want to focus on the negative, but I've also been dealing with the end-of-the-year accounting (no easy task, especially since I'm really getting into fixing some major issues) and learning to communicate properly with my family again (maybe someday I'll go into the complicated nature of all THAT junk). So yeah, that's pretty awesome.
I have a ton of video games I've been wanting to play. Currently still trying to start Persona 4 Golden on the Vita- I keep being worried I'll never be able to save (which...is admittedly a little silly, but any reason to rationalize why I don't have time to play, I guess). I know the game's been out for ages, or what was added in the re-release. The premise just sounded up my alley and I haven't been disappointed. :3 Also, Broken Age Part 1 recently released their Beta for the Kickstarter Backers, which I'm proud to say I'm one. And guys, this game is awesome and gorgeous, and...uh, not really Beta- at least not as far as I'm concerned. I can't find a thing that would be considered a bug. And they have a FULL orchestra for the music, so I'm just like ;____; it's so beautiful. So...if you like point-and-clicks, at ALL, or if you've ever liked any of Tim Schafer's stuff, definitely get this at some point. It's looovely. I'm still playing it, but the story looks to be pretty great, too.
Oh, and last but certainly not least, but anivad has been playing the Portal 2 co-op with me on nights/mornings we can manage it. It's SO great. :D I've played it once before with Dan, but it was ages before, and I completely forgot a good chunk of it. And Portal with the bots are awesome. They are so cute. :3 I love the little noises they make. Now that we've saved humans, we're moving on to Art Therapy, which is neither really art or therapy. >__> The co-op works surprisingly well, even with us being so far apart (I suppose it would have to, considering how the game's set up and that 'local co-op' needed to have a term thought up for it because people usually play online). Anyway, I always enjoy wandering around Aperture Science (I should have an icon for it), but with someone else it's even more fun. :)
Ah, writing is good.
