So it’s been a minute since we’ve last had a blog from yours truly. Things are not the same as the were. As with any good self reflection session I really dug into what I was going through and tried to sit down and analyze what could be done.

All Work, When Play?

My goals are to keep me consistently working at dreams I’ve always wanted to bring to reality but my reality currently is too much work, too much stress, and not enough emotional energy to handle much beyond that.

Given the state of the world here at the last days of May 2025 it seems that things are only getting tougher. I ended up deciding that keeping myself from being overworked is the new goal as I continue to do the habits I can maintain and drop the ones that might be setting me a past the line. I’ve dropped out of some habit forming schedule items and gave myself more time to just not stress about making sure I’m doing enough in a day. I’m hoping that as I take this time to really sit back and relax that I will also think about what I want to do in the future. The problem with having so many freaking hobbies is that I tend to just want to do everything. But when I dig deep down what is it that I really chase? Still trying to figure that out.

Check!

Been spending my dedicate learning time on chess. It’s something of an outlet for me to have an easy way to be social. I haven’t really acted it on it much but I’m sure I’ll eventually stop being scared of playing at a chess club. I have been making friends across the globe online but that’s been something I’ve known how to do for a long time.

Doom Wads

Working on my Doom stuff has been placed on hold for a bit. I ran out of steam with some of the ideas I had and kinda have been passively thinking about how to continue the world I was making. I did start up a smaller map project just to keep my skills fresh but its no where even close to release.

I still plan on going back and cleaning up what I have for the possum gal game idea I have going on with this map pack. I hope to get back to drawing sprites for it soon too.

Well… It’s Virtually Reality

I continue to enjoy jumping into my headset and exploring worlds. There are days where I can just find a nice rainy world to sit back and let my mind wander in. The thunder booming in the back as I dream.

I think I may go back to learning Blender here soon as I’ve been thinking about making my own worlds. I feel as it if would be a great creative outlet and just a good exercise in trying to make something completely different.

Syncing Self

As I continue through this year I believe I need to spend more time really understanding who I am, what drives me, and how I want to commit my time. Sometimes I get so caught up in trying to help others that I never really stop and think to help myself.

When you think of kindness it is important to remember that it applies to yourself, too.

Until next time <3
