i just noticed i have a little over 300 hours in marvel rivals now. i checked and i have almost 700 hours in team fortress 2... so if you're not picking this up, i have half the amount of time in rivals now that i have spend in tf2 in my entire life. of course a lot of it is idle time but that's true for both games. still, can you believe it? tf2, a game i have spend a large amount of my childhood to... is actually not even that much when you consider that i already spent so much on rivals... or maybe i just spend way too much time on rivals... i'm so fucking cooked ( ~ 12 pm )
i still have a lot of work going on but i'm doing well i think. very tiring yesterday but today i feel a bit relieved, my extreme push was pretty helpful i think, i can actually breathe today. what felt like a mountain i could never conquer yesterday, today feels like something i can do pretty easily with a lot of margin left. plus i can watch youtube and play games here and there to relax so... yay! ( ~ 12 pm )
i finished the project i was working on for a sample for a company to get a job. they turned me down. i have to say, i was really proud of what i had made and while i can't say it was peak by any means, i can't help but feel a little bit disappointed. but that's just hob hunting for you i guess. not the end of the world, i'm still making decent cash this month from the projects i'm working on so it's fine. just very sad that i didn't get the job, but then again, first one, no way was it going to happen anyway. i did think they wanted someone "beginner" ish so i was hoping i'd get it (considering the thing i made was very much not just "beginner" material) but oh well. moving on! (14:57)
on the plus side my workload is now significantly reduced. i just have two projects left now, as opposed to the 4 from yesterday and they're relatively easier since they're things i'm familiar with. yay! i get some free time to relax, would you believe it? (14:59)
when i'm sad or inspired, i send messages to my old account, it's always nice opening that account up and seeing messages i wrote to myself at some point
oh my, [i]GOD[/i]. i got back home last night and today has been such a tiring day and it's still just 5 PM and i have more work ahead of me than behind me. i had to spend my whole day working on 4 seperate projects. FOUR. i barely even do one a day usually! one of them is literally a demo i have to give for a fucking job i need. and the others are from a guy who keeps piling more work on me. i mean 3 in a day? are you INSANE? oh my god. i really do appreciate everything he does for me but GODDDD i can't do all this? it's just like... i do something and BOOM more work. i'm not even sure if i can submit that video i need to send FOR A JOB at this rate.
what's really making this bad is that my hard drive is failing me. my editing software and files are saved on that hard drive! so it randomly crashes and i lose progress and everything closes. i CANT EVEN DOWNLOAD AND GET ALL THE FOOTAGE I NEEd. it's taken me like more than an hour of time purely dealing with this bullshit. i swear if my pc was good i would've at least saved 2 hours today and hey maybe even got this shit done! FUCK BEING POOR FUCK CAPITALISM OH MY GOD
sigh... another month almost over, huh? time really does go by too fast.
it's the last day of my fun little trip. tomorrow will be the drive back. and then after that? work as usual. really hate living under capitalism. i dunno what's stopping me now though, i think im just stressed about my future. but i really do wish i could go back to spending all my time working on art. and exploring whatever interests come my way.
on the plus side, i think i'm feeling much better mentally. hey i even feel like playing video games so... something must be right
on the other hand, the fatalism of reality is catching up to me. i often think about how my parents have gotten old now and will probably not be around in a decade or so. i dont think i ever really thought about that. i have, but it's hard to accept it. i'm scared honestly, i do not want to be alone. but such is life i suppose. still, i want to see them live happily and i wish i could do more to make their lives easier. it's part of what makes me work harder... as hard as i can anyway.
after my old web/retro nostalgia surge from yesterday, i decided to play a new retro game. this time i ended up picking ff vi, this is amazing because usually i spend 3 days on trying to pick a game and never pick one. i have no idea why i picked this one but i decided to just say fuck it and go with it. if nothing else, i'll go play tony hawks pro skater or something lol
...so i didn't acutally succeed at playing ffvi. turns out there's a lot of different editions of it and i decided im better off playing this on my pc back at home with the pixel remaster and some patches.
i mostly came here to note something else though; a game called kuro no ken and i found a review of it saying it's a "half-gem"... so you mean average...????????? CAN YOU NOT JUST SAY THAT?!
on my old web shit again, since i'm on a trip, i only have my laptop and having a laptop with arch on it means... ricing! the goal is to make something simple though so nothing too fancy. honestly just wanted to make this update so you can see my funny jacky chan music payer theme
