The website
Honestly been feeling good ever since I started up this website. I’ve been pretty good about working on it most days, and I find it easy to break it down into manageable chunks so I always feel like I got something done. It reminds me of another hobby I have that I’ve been plugging away at for a while: Cooking! I’ve been cooking once a week, (almost) every week for a year and a bit now, and I find it’s been a great boost to my mental health. The main takeaway I get from both of these is that smaller goals seem to do me a lot of good. A while back I tried focusing on the time spent doing hobbies, as opposed to an output type goal, (finish this page or that script or something) and it was working really well for a while. I’ll probably try bringing that bad boy back.
Danmakufu Scripting
Progress has been pretty slow on the Patchouli Ex Boss script. I’m having a lot of trouble ironing out a solid game plan for all 5 of her elements. I have fire, (rotating shots) water (denser but slower and more plain) and wood, (stuff spawning all over the place then moving in the one direction) but I’m struggling to put something consistent together for metal and earth. I’ll keep plugging away at it, I suppose. I have had a lot more success with my Players for it. So far it’s just Reimu but I’m putting together a whole bunch of options for shottypes, I have cool looking trails on some of my bullets, it’s going a lot better.
There’s a game jam coming up quite soon and I’m strongly considering throwing my hat into the ring. TBH so far I’m not happy with results I’ve had before in previous jams I’ve found but I’ve had Other Things going on at those times that aren’t happening anymore.
Music
Very slow here. As in, ‘I haven’t even launched the program in like weeks’ slow. Definitely need to schedule it in a bit more, make it more of a habit.
Real Life
Outisde of all that, I’m well into a pretty comfy routine, which I think is a bad sign? I’ve heard you’re supposed to keep doing things that make you uncomfortable or something, don’t remember the quote too well. Still, I have no complaints about my day job, I’m financially stable, I think I’m gonna leave this be til I have a real reason to change things.
I do want to get one more thing done, which is up my transport options. ATM I’m pretty handy with using my local public transport options but beyond that I haven’t put together much. I don’t have a license, so I’m just busing / bumming rides off of family / using Uber, which I’d really like to change. I think my goals on this are going to be: A) get back on the pushbike so I can at least explore locally a bit quicker, then B) really put a focus on getting my license. The bike would be a good excuse to excercise as well. (Suffice to say I don’t have a lot of those)
