hopeless romantic with an equal helping of harshly practical ✨ goddamn, but this is certainly a week for musing on what love is. anyway, game work continues and I think I've finally stopped debating on whether or not I keep the achievement system, hell it's already half done after all

Clearly what one of the routes needed was a new thing for me to code that I previously had no idea how to code

Back to work once I'm home but my life this past week! The talent of these people never ceases to amaze me. I'm definitely allergic to the city of Nashville, unfortunately - 2 for 2 on my face exploding while there. Dollywood tomorrow, hopefully the allergies chill 🎢

It's time for "fun" facts no one asked for! -Zyr is indifferent to motorcycles -Valdas has no clue who his parents are -Angel hates almost all music -Kai got kicked out of a Brazilian steakhouse for eating too much #UnhingedVN #visualnovel

We were playing Codenames: Pictures last weekend and I gave a clue of "romance". Pleased that my teammates got that the picture involving tentacles was one of the correct ones

My biggest motivation when I go running is Kaiden's voice in my head telling me what a pussy I am if I think about slowing to a walk Today, I woke up at 6am to run and barely walked any of it. Thanks, toxic fictional man living in my head 😌

Was getting tons of spam calls & not answering. At one point I got up from my desk, grabbed my phone, & was singing the "drink iced coffee, panic attack" song to my cat in a weird voice, when suddenly I heard "Uh, [MyName]?" and looked down at my phone and I had accidentally called a scammer back 💀

I am, in fact, still alive. Life has been crazy and chaotic, motivation has been tricksy, and yes, I re-wrote most of Valdas' route. I swear, it's all still coming along, but man did I underestimate timeframes and my own life 🙃

Text conversation screenshot reads:
"It is mildly terrifying to think that a bunch of my friends are about to find out how I write romance 😂"
"Oh yeah. Putting yourself out there is horrifying."

I cannot stress how badass the music is coming along so far for this, and also how thankful I am for having incredibly talented and amazing people in my life, because I was so close to putting out a VN that was just completely awkwardly silent 😂 #visualnovel #gamedev

So I have this recipe for Hot Cheeto Mozzarella Sticks pinned to Valdas' Pinterest mood board and I feel like I should actually make them sometime soon In the picture, they are the sort of neon red that screams "don't eat this" which absolutely means Valdas would like to eat this

learning to code is just breaking everything repeatedly and then frantically trying to figure out what you did why did I decide I needed a whole different thing for Zyr's route
