Got out for one of my long morning walks (technically closer to noon, which was not the best time to walk already in February), but otherwise didn’t get a whole lot of physical activity.

I’m a little burnt out just in terms of raw workload, and I’m also in a bit of a funk over the whole Canada thing. I know it shouldn’t bother me because it’s outside my locus of control and it’s not like me getting upset by stuff should bother me, but I can’t help but feel like the regime there is absolutely wicked.

Of course, I generally consider politicians and their supporters little better than bandits, so it’s not exactly like I have any changing opinions or any naive notions about reality to be disabused by, say, watching police ride horses over an elderly woman, but it is frustrating to know that people doing horrible things will probably never face a reckoning for them.

But then I think that perhaps more people who see the ruling elite as illegitimate and blood-soaked is a good thing, as much as it would be a better world if this were not being revealed in front of our eyes.

Didn’t do a whole lot of writing. I mean, I got about a thousand words in, which isn’t nothing, but I just don’t have my heart in it and I was waiting to start on my new weekend project as part of a game jam.

It’s going to be a tribute to my childhood and video games that I used to play growing up. Technically, it’s probably more of an homage to classic video games in general, since I’ll be making legally distinct references to a bunch of things that weren’t necessarily part of my childhood.

I just want to make something fun and whimsical to take a break from all the unhappy stuff, both in the world and in my current work. I think it’ll pay off big time, especially in terms of having another product out and a more full-fledged catalog, but it’ll also be enjoyable.
